Watching how the Cardinals used Adrian Wilson in the Superbowl had me thinking who the Texans had that they could use in the same way. No one comes to mind, but maybe Moore could be that guy, a bigger safety that can play closer to the line of scrimmage.

Depending on who else is there, I would be fine with Cushing and if the draft fell this way we would at least be adding two nice pieces to the defense.

My opinion of Moore has gone from a guy I thought could be a ballhawk in coverage to more of the same that we already have. Good in run support, not so good in coverage. I'd be happy to have him especially in the second. There's a reason he was so highly rated at one time.

I was one of the first to beat the drum for Moore over a year ago, but I now want nothing to do with him, not even in the 3rd. I cannot get a read on the kid and I am worried it's not just the injuries that have him off this season. And I am not willing to risk a pick on this big of falloff

I agree with this. Not even in the third. I would be unhappy with Cushing as well. I would rather we go after safer picks even if they are not neccesarilly our greatest need. For example I would take Alex Mack or LeSean McCoy over Cushing.

Why would Cushing be an upgrade over Diles?!.... I thought Zac was having a great season beforehe got injured. He was playing better than Ryans before he got hurt. Diles is still young and can get way better.... Man, did anybody watch how he filled a gap against the Vikings and stuffed Adrian Peterson with no remorse?!! I WANT ZAC AS STARTER AFTER HE COMES BACK FROM HIS INJURY!!!!!

I like Alex Mack but not a chance that I take him over Cushing, and certainly not McCoy.

I wouldnt. In fact I would take any of

LeSean McCoy, RB, Pittsburgh
Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State
Alex Mack, C, California
Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia
Peria Jerry DT 6-2, 290 Mississippi
Larry English, DE, Northern Illinois
Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois
James Laurinaitis, ILB, Ohio State
Darius Butler, CB, Connecticut
Alphonso Smith CB, Wake Forest

over Cushing.

When I watched USC Cushing never stood out to me. Every player I listed did impress at some point. I jsut dont see the fascination with this guy. Not to mention steroid allegations that WILL come up. He jsut isnt worth the 15 pick IMO.

For those out there that say hes versitale. Dont give me this bull about him being able to play DE end for us either. Just because he played a little DE in college doesnt mean hell be able to do it in the NFL. Look up his stats while he played DE. Not very impressive at all. He is overrated because he played on a great defense. Just my opinion.
