Around SBN: Kentucky Football: Tee Martin Reportedly Leaving for USC

With The 18th Pick In The MHR Community Mock Draft...

The Houston Texans, represented by Pro Football Hall of Famer Orangeman, select....


AQIB TALIB, CB - KANSAS

G.M. - Orangeman -- Talib has all the tools you look for in a corner. He can match up with the taller physically gifted NFL receivers. He has the makings of a shut down corner. Talib has good recovery speed if he makes a mistake and closes quickly on the ball. He can  also wins jump ball situations. Talib is versatile enough to play safety.

Ray Rhodes will coach Talib up like Alex Gibbs coaches up the O-line. Talib needs to improve his mechanics and footwork as well as his play reading skills. He is a boom or bust player who will thrive under Rhodes tutelage.

#3 - Atlanta Falcons - DT Glen Dorsey, LSU
#4 - Oakland Raiders - RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas

Ray Rhodes
is a huge pickup for the Texans.  Is it just me or is it as much fun to root Texans right now as it is to root Broncos...?

BTW, anyone who hasn't read Orangeman's profile, should definitely go check it out.  Very cool, and one of the reasons I wish I could be closer to my beloved Broncos.

I wish my sig was as cool as mdierks!

Texans.
I love what Houston has been doing in the draft and they're getting close to being competative.  I like that they're willing to upset their fanbase if they think they're making the right choice.  Here's a place where they could go for Jonathan Stewart and everyone would applaud them, but CB might be even better value.  I still have them taking Stewart if he's available.  That said, does this drop him all the way to Dallas at #22???

Wow
Houston probably won't pick him due to his marijuana
use and failed drug test ( according to espn) but I think it would be/is a great pick for Houston.
$%^&!

Risky pick.
Off-field issues... A talented player, though. Schaub won't be too happy, they need firepower on offense (RB/WR)...
From Denmark, so i excuse my self for un-knowing-ness...
