Texas Draft Clay Matthews

[HoustonFrog]

Sorry, this is the Ultimate Draft where Every player on earth is available and you pick in this year's order. I find the process entertaining but a load of crap with AP, Chris Johnson and a whole lot of players there

11. Houston Texans – Clay Matthews(notes), LB: With apologies to 2009 NFL defensive rookie of the year Brian Cushing(notes), the Texans pick the third-year ex-Southern California linebacker who hasn’t tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Whereas Cushing struggled following his four-game suspension to start 2010, Matthews cranked up his already awesome game and helped the Packers win a championship. It doesn’t hurt that Matthews’ uncle, Bruce, was one of the best pro football players ever to call Houston home.

Cowboys got Revis

9. Dallas Cowboys –. Darrelle Revis(notes), CB: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his son, Stephen, the team’s vice president, nearly came to blows during an argument about whether to throw free-agent money at Deion Sanders in the mid-’90s. This time, picking Prime Time’s heir as the game’s pre-eminent shutdown corner is an easy call. The Joneses get a little squeamish at the postdraft press conference, however, when Revis says of opposing receivers: “I’ll shut ‘em down like a Cowboys Stadium usher on Super Sunday

27. Atlanta Falcons – Mario Williams(notes), DE: After watching the Falcons secure the NFC’s top seed in 2010, only to get eviscerated by Rodgers in the playoffs, general manager Thomas Dimitroff and coach Mike Smith know exactly what they need: a big, menacing defensive lineman who can get to the quarterback and make game-changing plays. Williams’ sack numbers were down last season, but the 6-6, 295-pounder is just 26 and should be an elite player for years to come. Dimitroff and Smith resist the temptation to select another talented defender named Williams – Packers cornerback Tramon, who made an indelible impression at the Georgia Dome last January.

31. Pittsburgh Steelers – Andre Johnson(notes), WR: Mike Tomlin loves defense, and he strongly considers mammoth tackles Wilfork and Darnell Dockett(notes) at this spot. The thought of adding a great playmaker like Johnson, however, is too enticing to resist. The Texans’ wideout is one of the league’s most understated stars, and his humility and toughness will be embraced in Steeltown. And a three-receiver formation featuring Johnson, deep threat Mike Wallace(notes) and the punishing and productive Hines Ward(notes) sounds more fabulous than Bruno Tonioli, Ward’s biggest fan.

Um. They have Andrew Luck, and Marcel Dareus going ahead of established NFL stars. Nope.

I thought the same thing.

Texans actually could have had Revis but passed. I get sick every time I see his name & think he could have been ours.
