McNair interview with McClain
 
In his blog, John McClain did his annual interview with Bob McNair. In it McNair is pretty candid. I wanted to focus on part of the interview here.
Quote:

Q: What do you think the team needs?
A: We need another playmaker (at receiver). We want more speed at receiver. Andre (Johnson) had a great year, but we can’t expect him to carry the load for all the receivers. If we say we’re going to run the ball better, we need to make sure we’ve got depth in our offensive line. We need more depth at linebacker. We can always use another cornerback. We don’t have a glaring weakness. We’ve got a good team, and we’re going to keep building on it.
With McNair's stated needs, added to this weeks Senior Bowl, I wanted to add a possible mock:

27 Zach Ertz TE Stanford 6' 6" 245
57 Da'Rick Rogers* WR Tennessee Tech 6' 3" 215
89 Nico Johnson ILB Alabama 6' 3" 238
121 Jordan Hill DT Penn State 6' 1" 297
153 Zeke Motta FS Notre Dame 6-2 215
185 Marquise Goodwin WR Texas 5-09 179
217 Bruce Taylor ILB Virginia Tech 6-1 234

I see the Texans using low end FAs to fill the depth at OL.

If something like that happened might be an offense to really look forward to next year. Some excellent TE and WR competition for sure.

I'd be shocked if Goodwin lasted that long but I'd be thrilled if we could get him in the late sixth. I'd be happy to take him with a third or fourth.

I am curious to see where he ranks now that he practiced at the Senior Bowl, and once the combine number are in. But the current rankings have him higher than you have him. My only reservation is his height.

Bob has a hard-on for this guy like he were already a Bronco. The Texans won't draft Goodwin so any continued focus on him is just wasted time.

Yeah, nobody remembers that returner who we cut and then the Broncos signed him. What was his name again? How many TDs did he score for Denver?

After he went to a team with a competent special teams coach?
