What makes anyone think that just because you draft a D-lineman that it solves our problems? The fact is not 1 of these guy's had the talent that M. Williams had coming out last year, not as fast, not as strong, not as tall, and look at what kind of a difference he made for Houston. My feeling on these lineman is that they are not impact type lineman, which would leave us in the same position next year, but with Landry I believe barring injury we are set at the safety position for a long time.

The only player who I wouldn't have had a problem with at #6 at DL was Anderson, but there wasen't a ton of film on him to really get a feel for him, but he may be the 1 player that got away. On the other hand none of these guys are S. Merriman in whom I wanted 2 years ago. When it's all said I believe we drafted a difference maker in Landry, I don't believe the other top Lineman are.
