And then when Goodell moves them to the NFC West think of all those young, mobile QBs they'll have to chase around, are you kidding me?

I've heard a few analysts say something like picks 10 thru 50 or 15 thru 40 provide simiar value this year.

Wonder if Texans might trade down or up to get more picks in that range.

I could definitely see the Texans with a list of WR2s they want to draft, then waiting for all but one to be selected then using their 2nd and 3rd (or possibly 2nd and 4th) to move up in the second and get the last guy on their list.

Or move father back in the first (or maybe even into the second round) by trading their first round pick for multiple picks, just as they did in '08 when they drafted Duane Brown. That would be so Rick Smith who almost always seems to go for additional picks and not fewer by way of improving his position in a round.
But yea, I look for him to leverage the receiver depth of the Draft class and not reach for a single player.
And I'm gonna be surprised if they draft a safety or ILB higher than the third round.

I'd personally like to see something like that. Nassib would be my first choice, but if he is gone by 27 I'd like to see Jesse Williams there to come in an solidify the nose. Then like you suggested, come back in the second with a guy like Robert Woods, a smooth guy on the field, to start immediately opposite Andre. In the 3rd/4th areas, I'd like to see them look at Tyrann Mathieu and Kiko Alonso. Off the field issues with these two, but for me, I have no doubts about their competitive streak or skills on the field. If they can come full circle I think both could come right away and compete for the starting spots at nickel corner and ILB.
