How about trading with New England, get there two #1s for our one?

I'm not sure we can trade back that far and get the players we want, but I wouldn't be totally against it....

I hear what you are saying. It is the 6 one way, half a dozen the other.

1 stud vs. 2 solid NFL players

It'd be sweet if we could get Poslunsky and Landry...or Poslunsky and Griffin in the first.....

Do you think Poslunsky would still be there?

I was thinking Griffin and Rufus Alexander (due to Landry and Poslunsky probably already being gone).

Rufus is considered a solid 2nd round pick on most ranking charts I 've seen. So keep your 1st round pick and get Landry the top safety in the draft, and take Alexander in the 2nd.

I like to look at this, with the winning percentages.

http://www.gbnreport.com/weeklydraftorder.htm

It's not hard to figure out Kubiak's strategy in passing on 3-and-2. If we win last Sunday's game we'd most likely be 11th. Now we're 4th. There's more football to play, the good news is that we have opportunities to lose games against Oakland, Cleveland and Tennessee, further solidifying our shot at a top 5 (or even top 3) pick -

If I haven't mentioned that Houstons secondary is bad well here it goes, Houstons secondary is bad. They made strides toward improvement in the 1st round with selecting S Laron Landry and now they address CB. They have one good CB in Dunta Robinson but the rest are only average, Darrelle Revis gives them a CB who can develop nicely in their defense with the rest of their young players. He's a physical corner and could turn out to be a real steal.

(Other options if available - Antoine Cason, Fred Bennet, Daymeion Hughes, Aaron Ross, Kyle Young, Doug Datish, Quinn Pitcock)

If he comes out, that would be a steal, if not go with Aaron Ross.

[DenverBorn]

I am a big Longhorn fan but am puzzled by continuing projections of Frank Okam and Michael Griffin as first round picks. I see another Rod Wright-type experience with Okam, falling to the second day at best. He's been all hat and no cattle at Texas. Griffin I think is a third round pick. Aaron Ross could be an undrafted free agent - he's made some great plays but gets beat too often in one-on-one coverage against good wideouts. Too busy peeking into the backfield to watch the QB and leaves his guys uncovered. Frankly the way the Longhorn secondary has played this year, none of them should be drafted.

Impressive work assuming you typed all of that from scratch. I agree that the Texans need a safety but I also believe 4 is too high for Landry. If we end up at 4 (or higher) I would support a trade down lower into the first round. I think we need more Ryans or Daniels -level players at SS, CB, FS and OLB and thus more picks would be better than one high pick.

Doesn't appear that the "ranked players" above includes any juniors. So it'll depend on how many juniors come into the draft -

Always does.

Thanks, I could not find this list. I knew it was there somewhere.

Just wanted to point out the list you show does not include juniors, and as some will go in the 1st, it makes Alexander look even more like a 2 rounder. Where in the 2nd is the question.

[b](Other options: Amobi Okoye

I like Darby in the 3rd. I agree that Gado and Dayne suck and we need help, but we don't need a RB before the 3rd, and even that may be too early.

Okoye is very interesting. He is a senior DT at Louisville. He will be 19 when the NFL season starts. 19!!! He has been project anywhere from 1st round to 3rd round, but his potential is amazing.
