In the 6th round the Texans picked a defensive safety. He's Dominique Barber out of Minnesota. Dominique isn't real big at 6-0 ...but he has great bloodlines. His dad Marion Barber played in the NFL ...and his older brother is a running back for the Cowboys.

I just talked with Dominique on the phone with other media members and he says there is no pressure to live up to his brother's or his father's NFL credentials ...he just wants to play. But the bloodlines do play a role it sounds like ....because he says his brother and father have taught him a lot about how to approach the game ...the preparations to get better and such. He says he's looking forward to having an intra-state rivalry between him and his brother in Dallas.
