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.

OK what about this Texans front-line - Mario @ strongside DE, Dan Williams at nose, Antonio Smith playing 3-technique, and Connor Barwin @ weakside DE ?

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?

No doubt about it Mayocks favorite player this week in Mobile, guard Mike Iupati, was exposed big-time. He's a project as an OT and as a guard he's got a lot of bad habits that won't do in the NFL.

he was not as impressive in this game as he had been in practice. Now is has proven he is not superman, and he might not be worth the 15th pick, a bad game does not lower him top much, but it does raise more questions.

Mike Johnson of Bama on the other hand, look more like the LG we need.

I'm going to have to watch some more of the practices and pay more attention to Utah OG Z. Beedles. I blew him off most of the week, but he showed me some power in the run game on Saturday.

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.

Looking at possible additions to the OL if we were to use a 1st round pick....

Trent Williams
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 308 | Position:OT
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1123699

Anthony Davis
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 325 | Position:OL
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1272306

Bryan Bulaga
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 312 | Position:OL
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1243680

Bruce Campbell
Height: 6-7 | Weight: 310 | Position:OL
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1242927

Charles Brown
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 292 | Position:OL
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/559356

Personally, if Trent Williams is off the board when we pick, I wouldn't reach for any OL in this draft.
