If anyone has ESPN Insider you can get these. I heard on the radio this morning that Mel Kiper gave three B+ rankings, no A' were given. Houston was one of these B+ rankings as was Arizona and _______ (can't remember).

Know any others?

See, the Texans made out well...

I've read in various places that the Texans were a 'winner', largely on the 2nd and 3rd round picks, though I think no one has issues with the fact we got Williams outside of drafting him before Bush...

Not from Mel Kiper, but another site...

Houston Texans: The Texans decision to select Mario Williams over Reggie Bush will be the most heavily scrutinized draft day selection in recent history. Certainly Williams fills a greater need for the team. He also is a solid value choice, as well, as Williams was considered among the top two players in the draft by most teams. However, unless Mario Williams proves to be an immediate impact player, the Texans will be open to questioning. While many will question the decision at the top of the draft, few can question Houston's selections of linebacker DeMeco Ryans, guard Charles Spencer, and offensive tackle Eric Winston with their following picks. All fill needs and were selected at positions of value. The Texans were able to add underrated skill position players in tight end Owen Daniels, running back Wali Lundy, and wide receiver David Anderson. A solid draft and one that ultimately may serve the Texans well, but the selection of Williams over Bush remains a curious one.
Overall Grade: B
