Lamarr Houston: I'm honestly starting to think I really underrated this guy. I look at the measurables and in terms of combine tests, he's better almost across the board than Gerald McCoy. But that's just the athleticism. In terms of tackles for loss he also topped McCoy, playing a similar schedule in the Big 12. He has plenty of size at 6-3, 305 pounds to be a solid part of the Oakland 4-3. If this guy becomes a big impact player early in his career I'll no longer be surprised. As I look back at what he did, it's another reason to think I may have undersold what Oakland did in the draft. Houston could be a steal.

Why do I have to pay for an article where the ESPN "expert" is admitting he was wrong?
Isn’t that sort of undercutting its own value as a column?

We should all receive a cut of

"Well said," was my initial reaction
Then I saw it was Mel F-ing Kiper making the comments. Sorry, Mel. No I’m not.
What a shame Lamarr happened to be a senior the same year McCoy and Suh were in the league with already established reps. Houston was still growing into the position at this time last year. As he gets used to lugging those extra pounds around (he was 250ish as a sophomore), he has a chance to be something special.
Reminds me of the recrut target, AS-J . . . big frame, great athlete, good player now with a chance to be a beast later on.
