[nero THE zero]

I wonder if they're asking Lonyae Miller questions about Ryan Matthews

[Roy P]

I'm wondering if Syd'Quan Thompson can play FS. He kind of reminds me of the FS for the Bills who had all those interceptions this year. Is Devin McCourty a DB who would strengthen our secondary without using a 1st round pick? Kyle Wilson is a third round steal, a 2nd round value, and a 1st round reach - when will he come off the board? I'm also sort of intrigued by some tall DTs Alex Carrington and Tyson Alualu is a guy that I'm wondering if he's a 1st round pick or a 2nd round steal. Jared Odrick falls in that category too. Could Cam Thomas be drafted in the 4th round to be a NT? Shawn Lauvao from Arizona State looks like a ZBS guy that meets the Texans eyeball test. I have liked Dan LeFevour for 3 years, but we have John David Booty so I'm torn. Is Daryl Washington the WILL we need, assuming we don't use our 1st round pick on Weatherspoon, or are we "set" with Diles, Adibi, or possibly Marcus Freeman? I want to see some more Anthony Dixon to compare him to Ryan Matthews. Still trying to determine why Ben Tate is being projected so late in mocks. Based upon Antoine Caldwell's development, I'm wondering if the Texans would feel comfortable selecting Mike Johnson in the 3rd round.

Kyle Wilson has really impressed me, he can play CB or FS, but I am still seeing him in the 2nd round, maybe late 1st.

My 1st round favorite currently is Mike Iupati, what he would bring to our OL is an attitude, similar to Brown in that regard, but more of large presence in the middle.

Weatherspoon is also looking like a 2nd rounder, would love to get an extra 2nd or two.

Dexter McCluster would be a fun luxury, imagine the mismatches he could become.

I'm wondering if Trent Williams slides and Iupati is drafted first.

In todays game DE Brandon Grahmn of Michigan looks like the second coming of Dwight Freeney.
And how about DT Dan Williams from Tenneesse ? Also very impressive at the game in Mobile today, so he's gonna probably be long gone before our 20th pick.

I would draft DT, OG, or secondary (FS,CB), before I addressed the LB situation again.

It has to be the right player over the right position. If we just look at 2006, would you take John McCargo, Winston Justice, Kelly Jennings, or DeMeco Ryans? The first three just fit needs, but the guy who would not be a position of need, would make the team better.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe even better against the run.

Mike Iupati was not very impressive at all, wouldn't take him in the first.

Dekoda Watson looks like a steal in the third.

Dan Williams, Lamar Houston, and Odrick all looked good.

Javier Arenas looked slow and undersized.

Blount looked good and Ben Tate looked VERY good, I was suprised by his speed.

T. Mays looked stiff and uncomfortable in man coverage but did have a int.

Zac Robinson looked good in the pocket, as did LeFevour.

Chris Scott looked leaner and impressive.

Tyson Alualu also looked very good.

Weatherspoon was everywhere.

Very astute observations. Iupati likes to grab instead of moving his feet. Alualu, Odrick, and Weatherspoon were impressive.
Did anyone notice Weatherspoon covering Dexter McCluster in the endzone?

Dan Williams did a very good job of pushing the pocket and holding the point so that there were no running lanes. If we wanted to stop the run, Dan Williams might be our guy. Then again, if we wanted to wait until the 2nd or 3rd round, Cam Thomas for UNC could fill that role.
