G Wade Smith Visiting Texans [Signed by Texans!]

[NBT]

Not too impressed....just another talking head! About all Casserly is good for. Of course his alter ego, Capers has fared well.

Is Wade Smith an upgrade to anyone we have now? Though I guess you don't have to keep him , but adds competition and depth during training camp. Why not just draft another OG/Center, although if you think we are young and need one more smart experienced guy around if losing Chester Pitts.

Mike Briesel, Chris White, Kasey Studdard, Tutan Reyes and if Chester is let go or hurt......Yeah, Wade Smith is an upgrade. Of course, that's not saying too much.

Because we have a limited number of picks with a long list of priorities even before we consider G-C, which is also a position where players don't necessarily develope rapidly enough to start as rookies, hence the need to acquire vet experience.
