Houston? That's a very big call.

I've been watching some Youtube clips of Michael Mitchell, the unknown guy the Raiders took in the 2nd round, and I have to say, he could actually not be such a bad pick overall, he hits like a JCB and is very fast. If he can cover to a good standard, then we could actually do okay with him.

Maybe a big call but I really like Houston, I'm close to tipping them to make the Superbowl.

They have eveything to make the Superbowl.

Schaub is a great QB. Actually my favourite non Green Bay Packer player, closely followed by Jerious Norwood and Josh Johnson.

Slaton is a very solid running back.

Johnson is an elite reciever and Daniels is a great TE.

Super Mario is an elite defensive end.

If they can improve the defence a small amount and Cushing works out and gets pressure on opposing QB's, I have no problem with putting them in the Superbowl.

As for Michael Mitchell, i've seen some of the clips and yes he looks good. He seems a human highlight reel tackler. Even if he becomes the greatest safety ever it would still be horrible value in round two when they could have had him in virtually every round down from then.

EDIT: Infact i'm going to change my prediction and put Houston in the Superbowl!

There are reports that Chicago were going to take Mitchell 2 picks later, which could be made more reliable by the fact that Chicago then traded down, an indication that the player that they wanted had gone.

I'm not entirely convinced by Houston's secondary to be honest, outside of Dunta Robinson, who is rather injury prone, there isn't much there.

I'm counting on the front seven to get the pressue.

Teams like the Titans don't really have a very good back seven but with Haynesworth getting the pressure on the QB, players like Cortland Finnegan have great seasons.

No Haynesworth, Titans go downhill dramatically IMO. Haynesworth is also why i've put Orakpo as DROY.

Either way on Mitchell, neither team should have taken him in the 2nd round.

I was thinking about who i think will win divisions next year after the draft is over.

So, I think:

NFC North: Green Bay Packers
NFC South: Atlanta Falcons
NFC East: New York Giants
NFC West: Seattle Seahwaks
NFC Wildcard 1: Philadelphia Eagles
NFC Wildcard 2: New Orleans Saints

AFC North: Pittsburgh Steelers
AFC South: Houston Texans
AFC East: New England Patriots
AFC West: San Diego Chargers
AFC Wildcard 1: Indianapolis Colts
AFC Wildcard 2: New York Jets

AFC Championship Game: Houston vs New England. Winner = Houston
NFC Championship Game: Atlanta v Green Bay. Winner = Green Bay

Superbowl: Green Bay v Houston. Winner = Green Bay

OROY: Viva Mark Sanchez
DROY: Brian Orakpo
DPOY: Jon Beason
MVP: Aaron Rodgers

I had to back Green Bay but if not i'd go with Atlanta.

What was you projected record for the Packers last year? Just out of interest as we know your predictions are class.

I think probably 12-4. To be fair though, virtually every game we lost was by a really low margin.

I'll be happy with the division this year, whatever record is needed for that. I think i'll go for 10-6
