    2006- Vince Young Watched him in the Rose Bowl and throughout his career at UT. Thought he'd be a more mobile McNair. Never wanted Leinart.

    2007- Limas Sweed Felt like we needed a WR, but it wasn't a very good year for talent at the position. Was bummed when Pittsburgh took him in the 2nd round right before we had our pick. Griffin has been okay, but far to inconsistent.

    2008- Devin Thomas Again, thought we needed a WR, but not much talent. Saw not a single WR go in the 1st round and us take the speedster known as CJ. Definitely happy we took him and let LenDale walk.

    2009- Hakeem Nicks Really wanted Nicks and he was taken right before we had the opportunity by the G-Men. Not really sure who we would have taken if both were available. Very happy with Britt, just wanna see him get in a full season. He looked like a top 5 WR through 2 and a half games last year.

    2010- Jason Pierre-Paul The Giants strike again! JPP was taken right before we had a chance at him. Again, not sure who we would have taken with both JPP and Morgan available. Not crazy about Morgan right now. This will be the do or die season for him. Hoping he stays healthy and can be a consistent threat.

    2011- Patrick Peterson Best player in the draft IMO. Hoped for Peterson and had a long list of players I wanted nothing to do with. Newton, Gabbert, Fairley, Quinn were just a few of the prospects I didn't want. Knew Peterson would be a stretch at 8. Didn't pay much attention leading up to the week of the draft (school work). Hadn't heard the rumors of us taking Locker and when Gabbert was available, I was just praying we didn't take Blaine. Was shocked when we took Jake, again because I hadn't been in to it that week. After the draft I really started to grow a liking for him. More of a personable guy and the kinda hometown kid you like. I've been happy with him so far. Coming in to games cold and backing up Matt. Hoping he gets his shot this year.

    2012- David DeCastro Wishful thinking on my part, but really hoping we go with DeCastro if he even makes it to 20. Could see him going at 11, 13, 14, 17, or 18. If we get the chance I think we have to take him. Not saying we absolutely will though. We obviously need the help on the defensive line which is quite deep this year. We'll see how it goes, DeCastro is the guy I want.

    I remember in 2010 most of the talk was Eric Berry, Joe Haden, and some other DE. I can't remember his name.

    I wanted Cutler that draft, (I was also thrilled when we took lendale in the 2nd.

    I wanted Rolle over Pac Man

    I wanted Sweed. Had never heard of CJ. Was pissed until I youtubed him.

    Wanted JPP two years ago.

    Wanted Locker last year.

    All in all, I've made some calls better than the FO did (Cutler, Rolle) some really bad busts (Sweed).

    Wouldn't this be nice instead of Pac Man. :sad2:

    I remember watching that draft. When we picked him, they panned to him in the room or at home or wherever he was and it looked like friggin little john. I said... oh man, this guys gonna be trouble.

    2011- J.J. Watt- Although I wanted Jake Locker as well I thought he would of been had in the 2nd round.
    2010-Jason Pierre-Paul
    2009-James Laurinaitis
    2008- Rashard Mendenhall
    2007-Paul Posluszny
    2006- Matt Leinart


    2012- Luke Kuechly I know the guy is getting a lot of hype, I was big on him early but shied away for other positions of need. If we got Luke in the first it would sure up our linebacking core for years to come him and McCarthy are versatile players that both can play Will and Middle. Seeing how defensive tackle is so deep we can get the guy who falls into the second round, than their are a couple under the radar defensive ends I like this year.

    My friends still give me crap cuz i flipped out when we took CJ and now he's turned into one of my favorite players.

    2006 - VY (I'm a huge Texas fan)
    2007 - Mike Griffin
    2008 - Felix Jones
    2009 - Hakeem Nicks
    2010 - Earl Thomas
    2011 - Fairley/Locker (Pretty much anyone but Gabbert and I would have been fine with it)

    Lots of Texas players but my picks weren't horrible.
