    He was very highly regarded earlier, sort of fell off the radar in the last few weeks. Better than Joppru IMO.

    I would definitely say the Texans picked this guy to compete for the OLB spot vacated by Posey.

    Oh totally, I like it. he could be the next Joey Porter.

    Here's the writeup
    Antwan Peek
    SELECTED BY HOUSTON , ROUND 7, PICK 48, OVERALL PICK 262
    DE | (6-2, 246, 4.62) | CINCINNATI
    By Pro Football Weekly

    Notes: Recruited as a wide receiver and moved to defensive back in 1998, when he had five tackles. Separated his shoulder in '99 opener and redshirted. Started at rush end the past three years but was suspended for one game in 2001 for receiving improper benefits. Had 37 stops, including 13 for loss, and 81 sacks in 2000. Also picked off one pass, broke up six passes and blocked two field goals. All-Conference USA in '01, when he had 60-22-12½ and blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown. Repeated as an All-Conference player in '02, when he had 90-22-6, caused seven fumbles and recovered five. Has weight up from 230 pounds to about 250. Showed great speed in pre-draft workouts but he is not as strong as some teams would like.

    Positives: Good athlete and competitor known for his toughness and work ethic. Football is important to this player, and he has overcome a lot in his life despite a difficult home situation. A fine pass rusher and big-play maker who has good explosion and pop. Has explosive quickness off the ball and a burst to the quarterback. Plays all out and pursues all over the field. Has a knack for blocking kicks and has very good timing, balance and body control. Has a 37-inch vertical.

    Negatives: Undersized defensive end who can get engulfed and buried by bigger tackles. Lacks experience at linebacker and may not have the feel for the position needed at 4-3 linebacker. Will get too emotional at times and let his temper get the best of him, leading to penalties.

    Summary: Best fit would be as a pass-rushing end in a 3-4 defense, but he does have some situational rush skills. After his Combine workout, some teams may consider him at defensive end in a 4-3 because he displayed the quickness to play the run. Not the player his idol Lawrence Taylor was, but shows similar burst and acceleration off the edge

    On the clock again... Seth Wand OT 6-7 321 Northwest Missouri State

    Notes: Redshirt in 1998, a backup in '99 and a starter the last three years. Associated Press first-team Little All-American in '01. Played at 290 pounds in '01 but was up to 315 at the 2003 Senior Bowl, though he didn't show well against top competition. Started all 13 games at left tackle last fall but would have to play inside or at right tackle early in his NFL career.

    Positives: King-sized left tackle with long arms. Quick off ball and quick to set up in pass protection. Good athletic ability. Good pass blocker at his level. Hustles and has a frame with room for more weight and bulk. Ran well at the Combine, but must improve his upper-body strength.

    Negatives: Is a pusher who lacks pop and explosion as a run blocker and relies on his size and positioning to get it done. Also lacks power and pop in his hand punch. Needs work on run- and pass-blocking technique. Not mean or nasty. A true "Mr. Nice Guy." Raw. Struggles in space. Doesn't play with good leverage. Lacks upper-body strength. Didn't show vs. top competition at the Senior Bowl.

    Summary: Will take a few years to develop, but he is a finesse tackle who could play a long time in the league. Because of his rare size and agility, he could move up the boards like Jeff Hatch did a year ago.

    this is getting way too hard to follow with the trade. I feel like Seth Wand in calculus class.
