1) look at offers to trade down a little.

2) Decide between Kyle Wilson, Ryan Mathews and Mike Iupati. I could live with any of the three.

Honestly, I started this thread more to take a look at all the trades that are being talked about and how it could effect the draft. Having the idea that the Browns could move up to take Bradford float in my head and I just can't see it. So, I started getting creative as to what might transpire on Thursday.

We do all these mocks and see time after time a team and player linked. Currently, the Chiefs and Bulaga have been grating on my nerves. I just can't see it. Then, when the draft is happening live and a team selects player X, we smack our foreheads and say, "Gee, that makes perfect sense!"

As, for what would I do as the Texans' GM, trading down looks good. Otherwise, I'm taking Kyle Wilson.

Nice work Roy.

For some reason I think Kubiak will take someone unexpected like J. Best or trade down. They usually show little interest in players they covet prior to the draft.

Generally they select a player that I had on my board, and then removed because I soured on the the idea. This year, that would be Taylor Mays or Jared Odrick.
