Prospects Texans are considering in the first round (reported by ESPN)

I understood where he was coming from. I think nunusguy is saying that Maybin has a lot of downside - more of a tweener, maybe doesn't fit, etc. but that he has a really high ceiling.

Lots of risk but, if everything shakes out, could net huge rewards.

Said it far better that I did. Thanks drewmar74 !
BTW, hope the Corps is treatin you OK these days ?

I dunno where Porky is ? He's the one guy last year who made the call on
Duane Brown being the Texans top pick. He needs to step up and make his call for 2009 now ?

LOL. I did yesterday in another thead. I think it's Clay Matthews after a trade down.

I don't see Maualuga even though I like him. Why would you want to move Ryans? Maualuga may ultimately be better than Ryans but by how much? Ryans was drafted with the idea of playing outside, and they saw he was much better on the inside. Maybe they have a plan to trade him or to play him outside, but it wouldn't be something I would personally do. But Maualuga looks to be a heck of a player at MLB I will grant that. We'll all know soon enough!

Oh and for the record, Ayers would be last on my list. He's not a bad player neccessarily but he reminds me a lot of Antonio Smith. You remember him, the guy we just gave big money too anchor the DE position. Why draft a clone of him? To do what? Sit on the bench or rotate in once in a while? They need to draft a guy who will likely start very early in his career in the 1st. That guy is Matthews.

Yes you pay the #15 pick #15 money - and inherently a draft pick has never played a single NFL snap. Would you prefer a lesser player who is a poor fit for the team? Guess what, they still won't have played a NFL snap and you still have to pay them #15 money. (Unless you just refuse to sign him, basically forfeiting the draft pick for nothing. THAT will please the fan base!)

As for this Dunta not getting payed nonsense - he's getting $9.97 Million for one year! BOO HOO! That's more than he deserves but he had the Texans over a barrel by refusing the $23 Million contract - they either had to franchise him or lose him as a free agent. If my employee pays me $10 Million for my entire career I would be happy not whining.

While I agree with your position on DR, most likely 70,000 people do not pay to watch you and your co-workers do the things that you do. Let's compare apples to apples. The guy that delivers my paper thinks you are way over paid. (j/k)

Good point! 69,996 people are really missing out! (and will these 4 people please GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!) I used to deliver papers - that was easy money - I work a lot harder now.

You are right Dunta to me to paper guy is not apples to apples. Apples to apples is if you are getting paid the average of the highest paid people at your position and you are not one of the two best - then you are not getting screwed. If you are not one of the best five you are getting a great deal. Dunta is not one of the five best CBs in the league.
