While the Texans have usually surprised me on draft day, if they go after Tyson Jackson simply because he's a DE, that would be stupid.
The Hags had some serious OG issues, but they aren't drafting Duke Robinson in the top 10.
I could go on about Javon Ringer and numerous other examples, but I won't.
It is difficult to go through 7 rounds, especially this early.
If I were to cherry pick this for the Texans, I'm drafting Aaron Curry At #15. Derrick Brooks, Ernie Sims, and Lance Briggs are pretty important in their 4-3 defenses.
This mock doesn't have Taylor Mays, D.J. Moore, or Jeremy Maclin as an option.
At #47 I'd have to take Greg Hardy, and he's not on this mock either. Neither is Sen'Derrick Marks.
At #79, I suppose I'll have to take Brandon Spikes and make him the SAM.
#111, Shonn Greene anyone?
I'll let them update their mock with the declaring Juniors and then pay it some attention.

The starting OLBs for the top 5 4-3 Defenses.
#1 Philly, Akeem Jordan, Chris Gokong
#2 Washington, Rocky McIntosh, Marcus Washington
#3 NYG, Gerris Wilkison, Danny Clark
#4 Minnesota, Ben Leber, Chad Greenaway
#5 Keith Bullock, David Thornton
Hardly a who's who of playmakers, and to a man they are secondary pieces on their teams to the pass rushers who make their defenses go. The role of 4-3 OLB is just not very important. We have our MLB. Pass Rushers and Pass Defenders is what this defense needs.
