If Quinn's medical did not check out then Watt is a good choice.

You have got to be kidding me. This is a head scratcher. While I am not to keen on selecting another db but who the hell else on in our secondary is better than Prince.

So what does this say about Smith and Mario?

Looks as if this guy is a 5 technique.

Wow...

You can always count on the Texans to select "the other guy".

Is there a CB in our future? Or are we just gonna give it up.

Well if we see a season this year then it stands to reason we will see free agency and maybe they are gambling on getting a veteran corner.

Exactly. I just don't get this team and the direction they're going. They probably could have traded down, and hell, picked up an extra 3 or 4 and still have gotten Watt or someone that will help as much as him.

Phillips said there's a possibility that Mario Williams could play DE or OLB. "I wouldn't be surprised at anything he can do."

My thoughts exactly.......


I would have much rather preferred Fairly at end if we were gonna stay put.

So with our #11 pick in the draft we select Amobi Okoye....Oh my bad I meant Travis Johnson...Oh my bad I meant J.J. Watt

Watt is not either one of those guys. He is a high motor guy who just keeps coming. He is the safest pick at 11. And yes he is depth, that part I do not like. But I see them letting Smith go after this season.

I'm not happy with the pick, IMO DE is not the big need. It appears the Texans had Aldon Smith as their pick and that was blown up by San Fran. So they went safe. They were scared of taking another CB in the 1st to play across from last years joke of a pick ( he should be better in a decent NFL system this year), and they were scared off from Quin's medical and off field issues.

IMO the Texans will never win with Rick Smith drafting the safe pick. They do not have anyone on defense that teams have to scheme for other than Mario and he does not have the desire to be the best in the NFL.

They should have gone Quin IMO. I would have been OK with Prince, but not in love.

Now go up and grab Aaron Williams at 33 or so and that will show me some balls. Rick Smith has no balls.

So what do the Texans do in the 2nd? Move up and take Aaron Williams FS?

Move up and take OLB Brooks Reed? Stay where they are and draft OLB Brooks Reed?

How about taking Stephen Paea from OSU to play the NT with Mitchell? That would be a great fit for Wade's scheme. But also would be another rotational guy (Bench).

Or how about Dontay Moch to play OLB?

Brandon Harris would be a nice pick up to play CB.

Houston would be an ok pick in the 2nd round, but don't see that one.

Maybe, but I don't like to gamble that much.

Jimmy Smith - could he slide because of 'red flags'?
Curtis Brown - I really like this guy's toughness
Brandon Harris - will he be there in the 2nd round when we pick?

I am tired of us picking the "next" guy. Why don't we go after the best...

Year after year we are depending on the "other" guy...

Your first round pick should be a starter and he will be behind Williams and Smith.
