Clemson, South Carolina, North Carolina, and a LSU (also from South Carolina)... apparently the Texans college scouts only visit the southeast. Pour some out for Dale Strahm.
Hopkins, Swearinger, and Montgomery seem like smart, talented players... good picks for where the Texans took them, but they are straight-up need position players. On one hand, tough to complain since each of these three (as well as Williams maybe) are going to have an opportunity to contribute early. On the other though... can't help but wonder if the Texans push up need positions over just taking the most talented guy on the board.
And maybe it'll be a happy coincidence that these guys were the BPA... I wonder that in particular about Hopkins and Montgomery, but I want the team to pick a player that is going to be someone we want to re-sign long-term four years from now. Hopefully we still need these four kids as badly then too.
