Jacksonville Jaguars - Something must have spooked the Jags, 'cause they traded right the fuck up to #8 in the first round to snag DE Derrick Harvey and then moved up again to get DE Quentin Groves. They also needed DTs but I suppose they'll count on the ends to cut off the corners and the LBs to stuff the run. Hell, this whole division suffers from Peyton Manning syndrome: the idea that in order to win you have to be able to put Manning on his back. This is the same idea that led to the Texans, who desperately needed an RB last year, to draft Mario Williams instead.
Houston Texans - As mentioned, the Texans badly needed an RB last year and didn't get the home-run back everyone thought they would, so this year they addressed that concern and drafted OT Duane Brown. Wait, what? Okay, so they got Steve Slaton in the third round but he's not one of the top 10 RBs this year. They did have needs at CB and OT, though, but didn't cover DE.
Indianapolis Colts - Not a sexy first pick (in the 2nd, they had none in the first round) but C Mike Pollak will eventually take over for Jeff Saturday. LB Philip Wheeler will work in the Tampa 2 defense nicely. Stupidly, the two biggest need positions (DE and DT) weren't addressed.
Tennessee Titans - What the hell was Jeff Fisher thinking? Vince Young needs outside help from WRs and he doesn't pick one until 125 other guys have already gone? I suppose RB Chris Johnson might help with play-action, but still... who the hell's gonna catch the ball?
