    Updated mock from Kiper has us taking Brown at #15. Orakpo is at #13 to Washington.

    Which would you choose between the two if you had the option?

    Orakpo...only because I'm a UT fan and I don't know much of anything about Brown

    I think the Texans should just field a team comprised entirely of d-linemen.

    4 years of defensive lineman drafted in the first round, then the line would be complete

    I'd be extremely happy with either one of these guys. Rak is probably the better overall player (good pass rusher, good against the run, never out of position, etc...) but a lot of people have Brown as the best pure rusher in the class.

    I don't see Orakpo falling out of the Top 10, I actually think he'll go #3 to the Chiefs. Brown will definitely benefit from guys staying in school and he could be the first 3-4 defensive player off the board.

    Taylor Mays would be great, and I also think we should give Eugene Wilson a shot at that FS spot. He could have a breakout year.

    Also, wouldn't it be cool if our new DC switched to a 3-4 scheme and try Mario out at OLB. I think he would be a beast since he's strong and fast. Everyone would be sayin' "'demarcus who?"

    You know that Taylor Mays didn't declare for the draft, right?

    Mario wouldn't be a good fit in the 3-4. He's 20 pounds heavier and quite a bit slower than Ware.
