2011?

[WMH]

I REFUSE to be an insider, but Paul K @ the AFC South blog posted Kipers 1st (of probably 300) rd mock, and he has us with:

Texans, 11th: Aldon Smith, OLB, Missouri

A late addition to the Big Board, Smith's declaration moved him up among draft-eligible pass-rushers. Smith is more athlete than refined pass-rusher at this stage, but he has a great wing-span and is a perfect size and speed combination to develop as an outside linebacker. We know Houston has to address the defensive side of the ball and Smith is the kind of high-upside player that will fly up the board as personnel people start seeing the tape. He'll improve a weak pass rush.

Kuharsky on fit: The Texans need to stock up at linebacker with their move to a 3-4, so Smith could make sense. Especially if there is no super value defensive back here.

Side note - Kiper currently has Von Miller going 8th to the.....Titans.
