Perhaps the Texans were under the impression that Albert or Williams would be available at #18 when they signed Reeves. Both have really climbed up draft boards (at least in mock drafts) since the signing. If they were confident that OL was the way to go in the 1st round, then they wouldn't want to be caught without a decent #2 CB on the roster like last year. Things have changed in terms of what people are projecting for tomorrow in terms of the talent at positions that will be available at #18.
If the Texans are truly one of those teams who believe that you should take the BPA and Albert and Williams are gone, then drafting some other LT would be a NEED pick. As much as I like Carl Nicks, I am really considering the possibility that his off-field issues could slide him down in the draft. If they select Duane Brown at #18- I might cry.
I'm wondering if we didn't select a CB because of Reeve's contract, bypassed a RB because of the money we have invested in Green and Brown (with Taylor on the roster), ignore the OL because the best talent is off the board and Gibbs is here to work magic; might the Texans look at some wild-ass position? I mean would we consider Jerod Mayo, James Hardy, Philip Merling, or Kentwan Balmer because they are the BPA?
