Defensive Ends

Mario got 4 sacks as a rookie playing on 1 foot. Dorsey will probably develop, but he did not have a good rookie year.
 
Brian Orakpo in Reliant. Just imagine him in a Texan uniform, wreaking havok with Williams in the backfield.

He won't make it to 15. Maybe George Selvie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qIAFNvP-rg

color me unimpressed especially as these are his 'highlights'... he beat his man twice in that whole vid. once with a perfect jump on the snap and the other with a speed move.

the rest of the time he made those plays he was either unblocked or he got a sack from stupid qb play where they held the ball for 5 seconds before rolling out or running straight into him..

neither will happen much in the nfl and therefore i dont think he'll do much there either
 
A lot depends on whether the FO wants to go after a full time starter or a pass rush specialist. If we go after the second, I think Cody Brown out of Uconn could be good to look at. Undersized, but hes got some pretty darn good speed off the edge. Could be had in the fourth round possibly

I think some 3-4 team might snatch him up before that & move him to OLB.
 
I agree. There are a lot of these guys that could fall or get snatched and hopefully Houston ends up with someone that can put some pressure on the QB opposite Mario.
 
Whoa. I've never even considered this. Peria Jerry as a 4-3 DE!? If he's really this versatile, he really could be an option at 15. Tell me what you guys think of this...

Unfortunately, this kid is out of shape and overweight because somebody had the bright idea that, because of his size, Peria would be a good DT. That was a big mistake! Peria must get in better shape; if he does, he could be an excellent DE in a 4-3, then moved inside on pure passing downs to take advantage of his quickness. He is not very good against the run as a DT; however, as a DE he uses his hands well and does a very good job against the run. If you slim this kid down to 275-280 lbs, you will have yourself one hell of a 4-3 defensive end.

A few years back there was a DT drafted in the 1985 draft. He was the very first pick in the draft. He was overweight and, yet still, was a dominant player for his college team. In short, Bruce Smith transformed himself from an overweight potential defensive tackle who had unusual speed and quickness for his size into a pass rushing, 270 lb pain in the ass on and off the field, Hall of Fame DE.

I personally would not hesitate to take a chance on drafting Peria in this draft and then moving him and grooming him for the DE position. His unusual talent only comes along once every nineteen years and for that reason alone, he is worth taking a chance on.
