Texans finish '08 draft with smiles all around
HOUSTON - Optimism is everywhere around Reliant Stadium these days thanks to the Texans' stellar 2008 draft class, which is highlighted by first-round tackle Duane Brown. 
Video
A trade with the Baltimore Ravens yielded extra draft picks that resulted in part with West Virginia running back Steve Slaton in the third round. Video
Meanwhile, the Texans' first third-round pick, Antwaun Molden from Eastern Kentucky, gives the team another athletic cover corner, which defensive coordinator Richard Smith is pleased about. Video
