Other than the bit about Jimmy Smith, this is pretty spot on. Page 38, the morning after the first round.
Very little positive Texans news these days... at least rejoice in knowing we passed on this turd. Nick Fairley packing on the pounds, dropping on the depth chart
If I were GM, we'd have dodged the Amobi Okoye bullet in favor of Patrick Willis and the it would have been Dez Bryant instead of Kareem; but isnce no one's perfect we'd have been stuck with this turd instead of JJ. I am, however still supremely confident my track record in the later rounds would surpass our current General misManager. And with Willis and Bryant in the fold maybe I could squeeze a lifetime extension out of old man Mcnair, even with the stench of Fairley on my record.
What I learned from this draft: I said he blew it up at the combine and was a great player but I was pissed because they already had Mario Williams at his position. The lesson is take the best talent on the board and figure out how to make it work later. For the record, I wanted Robert Quinn, who would have not been a disaster.
