Who is this guy? I heard he has a huge arm but his stats in limited play aren't that good.

I don't know anything about him except I remember watching a few Washington games when he was in college. No big deal, just a warm body to hold a clipboard. Let's just hope the draft pick wasn't that high.

agreed and we all know Charlie isn't here to overpay, so we should be good...

I remember sticking him on a Topps card a few times back when he was rookie.

In 2 years as a pro, he's 18-45 for 195 yds with 0 TDs and 4 INTs. Meh. I guess that's not terrible for a 7th round draft pick.

I've never heard of this guy..Why would the Texans even bother ? As far as I'm concerned he's not worth a draft pick...

Living in the Bay Area, I was forced to endure a couple of 49ers games last year, and this guy actually got some run. He's basically Rudy -- no talent but a heart the size of Texas... totally fun player, but if we're watching him this season, we'll be lucky to duplicate our win total from 2005.

I have no idea how he will turn out, but I can tell you he is a stud athlete. His dad is Dee Pickett, former national champion rodeo star. They are members at the same golf course that I am. I've pinged Dee's house on the 18th fairway a couple of times. Cody was heavily recruited out of high school and had kind of an up and down college career. I think he has a lot of the "p" word left.
