Hey everybody from HPF.

For the first time in the Texans history, I can honestly say (if the 2009 draft was held today) we take the best player available. We need to get younger at RB and DE and we'll always need to improve depth. But the front office has actually filled every need. Do we have probowlers at every position? No. Do we have proven experience at every position? No. But there comes a time where mere numbers don't help. A good example is in the secondary. We could take another CB on the first day of the draft but where does that leave Robinson, Reeves, Bennett, Molden, etc.? We will eventually have to start cutting first day picks. I think we need to take the BPA and let the younger guys develop.

A lot of what we do depends on the following:
How does Colvin work out at DE?
How does Okam work out at as our runstopper?
How do the CBs develop?
How does the RB situation work out?

I guess that was a wordy way of saying, take the BPA. But if I had to emphasize any positions they would probably be D-Line and CB. And if there's a franchise RB, you might want to take him.
