The "experts" say the same thing every year about Brian Westbrook.

On Path to the Draft, John McClain shook his head at the notion of the Texans looking at any offensive player in the first round, including Knowshon. Just because we had the 3rd best offense and 23rd best defense doesn't mean we HAVE to take a defensive player at #15.

I hope we don't let needs dictate what we do in the draft. If the best player available at #15 is offensive, we MUST trade down or take that offensive player.
