Let's say we switched 1st, picked up a third and maybe a pick (depending on what the chart says) later in this draft.........
1) Alex Mack (Center/ Guard) He may be the best OL in the draft. He just doesn't play LT. He would improve our OL from day one. The better our line is... the better our QB and RBs are.
2) Chung (SS) The staff is comfortable with our current FS (resigned).... But I think this guy could uprgrade our SS position and start the first game for us.
3a) Jennings (RB) I like Shon Greene but I think this guy is the big bruiser we could use with Slaton. I think that it is realistic that he is here in the draft. The only knock on him is the competition he played against. But the circumstances that led him to Liberty are different than most guys who transfer to smaller schools. I like the idea of this guy in a Texans uniform.
3b) Gerald McRath (OLB) Southern Miss... Played ILB in college. He is a player. I think he has the ability to get to the ball. He has the ability to compete for a starting job once he gets thru the learning curve (Switching to OLB).
4a) Domonique Jackson (CB) Jackson State ... Small school player with big time tools. Transfered out of Mizzou....Honest 4.45-4.5 speed. 6'1 190lbs. Worth a shot here.
4b) Roy Miller (DT/NT) Yes. For all the Aggies, I am a Longhorn fan, BUT....I think this guy could help the rotation. Heart is not an issue with him. He is a 300lb NT ( as oppossed to a 340lb nt). If he were bigger, he would be drafted higher. He played against the best and beat the best. Ask the number one OG Duke Robinson from OU.
Farther down the draft than this is a crapshoot. Just pick a kid with some ability and be a team player. Someone who is coachable.
Others I really like:
1st rd
1)Clay Matthews. I am on board this bandwagon.
2) Vontae Davis and Malcolm Jenkins ..They could help...
3) If Dumbo (Smith LT Alabama) falls to us....I would think about it.
4) I am starting internet rumors about Brian Arakpo right now. Imagine if all he had to do 15 snaps a game.... was rush the passer????
2nd rd
Max Unger C/G
Darius Butler CB....DJ Moore CB...Alphonso Smith CB
Robert Ayers DE....Conner Barwin DE....Paul Kruger DE Jarron Gilbert as a DE( NOT DT)
Long time Lurker and had a few minutes to write down some stuff... I enjoy the board..........mark
