Houston is a guy who may shoot up the board a bit. WR would be a dumb choce with the best guard in the draft still there

Same here. I'd throw something through the TV if Blalock or Grubbs were still available when we make our 2nd round pick and we passed them up at that spot. It would take STUPID to a new level.

There are a bunch of names I would like to see make a move for at the end of the first and the second round. That is why a trade down wouldn't surprise me.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

While I don't have any problem whatsoever with your picks (actually I'd love it if we were so fortunate), I have to disagree with your claim that this is a weak CB draft. Not so.

I really don't see a single CB out there who is a "shutdown" type player. Even guys like Leon Hall are thought to be better in a zone scheme. Here's a few quotes about the CB class from the ESPN website...

"In our opinion, Hall grades out as a mid-first round prospect but in a weak class of cornerbacks he could come off the board in the top-10 picks."

"Revis projects as a mid-to-late first round selection in the underwhelming 2007 cornerback class."

I can't find any other websites that talk about the strength of the class, but like I said I just see a lot of question marks with pretty much all of the prospects. Why do you think its so strong?

Do people just put up outrageous mock drafts to be kool? No way are those guys falling that far unless they commit felonies.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

Houston plays EXACTLY like Wade needs a CB to play, on an island. Wade will blitz a bunch and expect man to man coverage and that is what this kid excels at.

Worst mock ever.
Captain Nathan Brittles: "Only the man who commands can be blamed. It rests on me... mission failure!"

"Jerry Jones is a billionaire fan who bought his own team for the express purpose of buying his way into the game. He wants to hang out with the players, stand in front of the cameras, be the face of the team (yech), make personnel moves as if this were a video game, and more than anything else, be seen as the guy who made it all happen."

I'd be alright with it. I still think Aaron Glenn has another year in him.

Hopefully Wade puts him back in the slot, he got burned alot playing on the outside.

Football Resurrected.
