The Texans are looking to improve their team on offense and defense. At this position in the draft, Houston will have their option of many talented players. The need for a leader in the secondary is a must and with LSU’s LaRon Landry on the board, he adds instant credibility to the Texans defense.

There are a few directions the Dolphins could go with this pick. The defensive line is getting older and adding youth is a must. Louisville’s Amobi Okoye is available and the Dolphins will consider him. Losing Wes Welker could mean that Ted Ginn, Jr. is a possibility as well. But with the secondary lacking a quality starting cornerback, the Dolphins decide to draft Michigan’s Leon Hall.

After losing Patrick Kerney in free agency the Falcons look to replace the Pro-Bowl defensive end. With Gaines Adams and Jamaal Anderson off the board, the Falcons may go in a different direction. But the temptation of Nebraska’s Adam Carriker will allow the Falcons to fill the hole left by Kerney.

The Niners are thankful that Louisville’s defensive tackle Amobi Okoye is left on the board. Alan Branch was an option for San Francisco, but with the Redskins choosing Branch over Okoye, that leaves the Niners with an easy decision. Okoye is the new San Francisco treat.
