A couple points on Brown:
1) I'd rather them take the guy they wanted earlier than he was projected than try and get too cutesy with trade downs and miss out. Maybe they could've traded down again with Seattle and still got him, maybe not.
2) He may be a project, but he didn't go to North Southeastern Lousiana State Technical College or something. He played OT for three years at one of the top colleges and conferences in the country...that counts for something.

According to one of the NFLn guys, his source had another team picking after Houston did wanting Brown in the 1st. So any trade down would have cost them their last chance on one of 4 guys they claim could play the OLT for them in this draft. So again the teams have do what NickO is saying and take their guys when they can, not when we or the TV gurus think they should.
I like the pick more and more. And add the two extra picks and this could go down as the best move in the Texans draft history.
