Thanks for your support!
Molden is a small-school prospect who doesn't have ideal explosiveness and should have made more big plays at the Division I-AA level. However, his combination of speed, versatility and size makes him a good value in the seventh round.
I rarely worry to much about ESPN's draft ratings. They can be VERY weird.Ugh.
ESPN.com/Scout says Molden would be a great value in the 7th Round.
Sometimes it's not even the "right" guy - people get ticked if you don't take a "sexy" pick.Hope you're right, Hail Schaub.
I'm personally not anywhere close to a draft expert, but I hate the wailing and gnashing of teeth that goes on around here when we don't pick the guy that the internet coaches think is the "right guy."
The NFLDRAFTCOUNTDOWN site has him as a 2nd or 3rd rounder.Ugh.

FWIW - aside from the video I found from Draftguys, NFLDraftCountdown.com, as site I follow that is pretty good, had Molden as one of the best remaining available players, tho admittedly there were some CBs they liked more. They had him ranked 13th CB overall in their rankings and (ahead of Terrell Thomas out of USC who went last round) and graded him as a round 2 or 3 prospect.Hope you're right, Hail Schaub.

No prob. Was glad I saw the site this week and it seems to have paid off!Video looked good. Thanks for posting.
They have five months. He's got got to be good to go in September.Kiper liked the pick. Said Molden has a lot of potential, but will take a year or two to develop.
Good find thanks for sharing. Rep coming your way.Pretty good player - saw this video the other day - he looks fast and has a huge jump - looks like he's a heckuva player.
Looks like he was a heckuva pick who might have gone yesterday if more CBs had gone....
Well, crap. Now I don't know what to think.Kiper liked the pick.
Sexy pick = flash instead of cashSometimes it's not even the "right" guy - people get ticked if you don't take a "sexy" pick.
Well thats what I get for watching NFLN.... LOLKiper just said he liked this pick. Said he is raw but in a couple of years he could be a great pick. Said he is very athletic
He does compare with Bennett. And know we can see what Smth & Kubiak are looking for in a CB. Size (over 6') and speed.Sounds like Fred Bennett last year who we took ahead of guys rated higher by internet draft sites at the same position.
Same here. We still have the 4th round pick coming up and we know the Texans have a good history in the 4th round.love this pick. this is shaping up to be my favorite draft class ever.
nice article.http://www.vindy.com/news/2008/apr/23/molden-races-from-nobody-to-nfl/
Got this link for him from the other Texans Board.
You can just about say that for any CB coming out any given year. Great pick, Guys need to relax, we've got 1 of the best secondary coaches in the league.Strengths:
Very good size and bulk with long arms...A terrific natural athlete...Excellent timed speed with a burst to close...Has quick feet...Able to flip his hips and run with just about anyone...Is very self-assured with a short memory...Offers some versatility.
Weaknesses:
Not as physical as he should be...Too aggressive at times and can be fooled...He lacks great awareness...Average hands and ball skills...Does not get a very good jam at the line...Too confident and undisciplined...Doesn't play to his measurables.
Notes:
Began his college career at Toledo ('04) where he saw action in 13 games at both corner and safety as a freshman...Transferred down a level in '05 looking for more playing time...Also ran track at EKU...A bit of a Workout Warrior who does not play as well as he tests..An intriguing small school sleeper with ideal triangle numbers.
Antwaun Molden
Wish we would've gotten Tyvon Branch instead. He seems like a more physical and better talent at CB.
Bingo!We needed help in those positions--YOUNG help, not aged end-of-their-career help in those positions..
