Derrick Dockery's brother, Cedric Dockery, will be available as a late round pick in the NFL draft. He missed half of the 2006 season with a torn ACL, but returned to the field in 2007 and in 2008 he was named honorable mention All-Big 12 by The Associated Press for his Offensive Guard play with Texas.
Height/Weight: 6'3" - 314 lbs
40 yd dash: 5.34 (pulled hamstring)
Vertical Jump: 28in
Broad Jump: 8'4"
Positives: Athletic frame with room for additional growth. … Flashes explosive upper-body strength. … Good leverage. … Gets under his opponents' pads and can drive them off the line to create a hole. … Plays with some nastiness. … Looks to pancake his opponent. … At least adequate initial quickness. … Physical use of hands to engage the defender. … Looks to help his teammates. … Good bloodlines. … Brother, Derrick, is a former UT standout and now plays for the Buffalo Bills. Negatives: Inconsistent in many phases of the game. … Inconsistent hand placement and has only marginal hand quickness. … Drops his head too often, resulting in missed blocks in both the passing and running game. … Struggles to keep his feet when blocking on the move. … May still be favoring his knee. … Needs a medical check on his right knee due to the surgery undergone in 2006 after tearing his ACL.

Note: Derrick Dockery was a 3rd round pick in 2003.
Here's a recent video interview of Cedric Dockery at Texas. He's already engaged, loves God, and seems to be a really genuine guy. It fits the mold with everything I've heard about Derrick. (starts at 3:00 mark)

Want to get younger
I read a review of the success of players who have relatives who have or are playing in the NFL, the review showed a much higher average of success than for other players. Yes! a young OL addition who has a better than average chance of making an impact. The way this draft is setup, a significant group of undrafted players could be available who may have the opportunity to contribute, the draft is very deep in the trenches!
I'll go with it
Most of his negatives can actually be fixed, and as stated above, getting younger is a must. I also like the his brother will be there to motivate him as well, so why not?
Brothers as guards working together for a Washington football team.
Remind anyone else of The Replacements?
Insert witty and/or humorous signature here.
Yea
I’m not really a fan. Brothers together seem like they would be more relaxed.

I voted no
just b/c I’m not sure Buges is on top of his game anymore.
Blasphemy I know… but someone has to say it….
Buges not on top?
coming…from somebody compelled to use smut in his name?
Buges doesn’t need to be defended..and nobody needs to say that
cedrick dockery
I say yes he has a huge upside and we need A few players around here with some attitude.get him in the 6rd is a steal.Also we should draft andre smith in the 1st rd and agood center in the 3rd round.also we should see if detroit is dumb enough to give us 2 1st rd draft picks for cambell.
Try
1st Round: 13th Pick
3rd Round: 16th Pick (80th overall)
5th Round: 14th Pick (150th overall)
6th Round: 13th Pick (186th overall)
7th Round: 34th Pick (243rd overall) (Compensatory Selection)
So the 6th does exist
