On the other hand, Tennessee defensive tackle Dan Williams carries his 329 pounds very well and possesses one of the thickest bases I have ever seen. The guy has a massive bubble, really powerful-looking thighs and looks built to sit into his stance and overwhelm inside.

However, the overall winner of the weigh-in was Idaho offensive lineman Mike Iupati, who measured in at 6-5 and carried his 325-pound frame extremely well. But, what was even more impressive were his 35-inch arms and 10 3/8 inch hands. Iupati made the biggest impression on me out of anyone down here today and I have a feeling he’s going to be one of the biggest winners down here this week.

From what I saw, Iupati did not look as good as Jon Asamoah today when they went up against Jared Odrick. Asamoah has gone up against Odrick before as they are both in the same conference, but Jon has short arms supposedly. Who knows? I did come away impressed with Vladimir Ducasse from UMass. I have never seen him play so had no preconceived notion accept that he's huge 6'5" 330lbs and probably not on the Texans radar. Anyway, it was the first day.

Kyle Wilson, the CB from Boise State was the biggest standout of the day. During the CB vs. WR drill, Wilson undercut an out route for an interception on his first rep and was an offensive pass interference away from another on a nine route. Wilson was a premier punt returner in college, which means he is dangerous after an interception.

Yea this guy looked real good yesterday in Mobile and you know the Texans were paying close attention because if Robinson leaves CB will be very, very
high on our priority list.

LZ was raving about him this morning. Should be interesting to watch him rise over the next couple of months.

According to Draft Countdown, the Texans were talking to these guys at the south practice: Dan Williams, Brandon Lang, and Harry Coleman - a defensive tackle, end , and back.

One other guy I thought looked good was Taylor Price, WR from Ohio. He caught everything and looked like an Austin Collie type of guy. Not sure how fast he will run but he looks like a player.

Harry Coleman? That's interesting. He was a safety that moved to LB for his senior season, and is projected to move back to SS for the NFL. He's supposed to have above average coverage skills for a SS, but below average cover skills for a FS. He fits the "hybrid" mold we purportedly look for, but would be a bad pairing with Pollard. He's also a bit redundant with Dom Barber on the roster.

He might make sense as a late round project/teams guy, but he's projected as a 3rd rounder. I just don't see a match there.

I don't either, but maybe that's the point ?
This whole Draft process has gotten so complex and sophisticated that it's well know that teams often fake an interest in certain players as a red herring to divert attention from the player(s) the team is actually most interested in picking.

I wonder if the Texans might want to take a look at that Larry Assante fella from Nebraska. I know he's peaked my interest.

Kyle Wilson was better at BSU than Orlando Scandrick, who starts for Dallas, now. He's a pretty good punt returner, too.
