You've gotta look at salary cap considerations, my friend. Buchanon's salaries for the next two years are $700K and $800K, respectively. Surtain is expen$ive and, to this point, the Dolphins appear to be sticking to their demand for a first round pick. The trade price will likely fall as the draft gets closer, but Surtain's contract demands will not.

As for the Texans' draft choice in ucfryan's list above, I have been reading that there's almost no way they'll pass up one of the top three RBs if one is still available at #13. As much as they need help on the offensive line, they need to shore up their running game, too. Also, Barron appears to be a bit of a slacker at times, which would not fit at all with the Texans' philosophy of drafting "model citizens."
