    I'm so excited about Stephen Anderson. He's a guy I listed as a potential draftee for us.

    Obrien is going to have so many weapons so try to create a scheme with. If osweiler is good this team will be hard to match up with. The mismatch packages that we can put out there are ridiculous.

    The guy was apparently going to be a truck driver after poor grades before his mom convinced him otherwise and try to go back to college. Keep in mind those teams he's playing against basically have "barely college-level" talent. He may as well have been returning kicks against high school kids in most of those videos from the looks of it. But his speed seems to be legit and would make him as fast as Fuller (straight-line speed, anyway).

    Here's a snippet on Wendell Williams :

    http://www.cincinnati.com/story/spo...s-419-second-40-yard-dash-nfl-draft/81448092/

    Williams' long journey to the regional combine began after he graduated from Bishop Ludden High school in Syracuse, New York in 2008. Academics weren’t a priority, and he didn’t make it through turns at two different community colleges before settling on driving a truck for a living.

    At the behest of his mother, Claudine Clarke, a mentor named Will Dowdell agreed to challenge Williams to get back into school. It was the shove Williams needed, leading him to the dean’s list and starring in three sports at Herkimer Community College, about 70 miles east of his hometown.

    “Automatically people assume he was in trouble and stuff like that,” Dr. Temple said. “No, it was nothing like that. He just wasn’t ready to be in school and be a student-athlete. He gave it a shot, it didn’t work, so he went and worked. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

    From there, he earned a scholarship at the University of the Cumberlands, an NAIA school with an enrollment of about 6,000.

    “I wouldn’t change my road and my road path for anything in the world. It makes me who I am today,” Williams said. “I’m proud to say I went through the things that I went through and I kind of was a knucklehead because it matured me. And, it may have taken a couple years for me to get where I’m at right now but it makes it that much better because I had to overcome all the bad things, I had to get through tough times.”

    Like Hightower. 6'2-6'3 200 I believe. But he's a long shot to make the team

    5. Texans buck trend


    The Houston Texans followed what might have been the smartest approach to a draft deep with defensive tackles. They didn't rush to take one, regardless of need.

    Instead, the Texans spent much of this draft accumulating options for new quarterback Brock Osweiler. They selected receivers in the first (Will Fuller) and third (Braxton Miller) rounds, and a running back (Tyler Ervin) in the fourth. Then, with their second selection of the fifth round, they grabbed defensive tackle D.J. Reader.

    Some might argue that the Texans missed out on the strength of this draft by looking elsewhere in the first four rounds. I'd suggest the opposite. They jumped on less-stocked positions when they could and then circled back to the hog mollies later. Intentional or by accident, it made perfect sense.
