Can we all agree Rick Smith is not a bad GM?

I'm going (to try) to lay off my Smith bitching until I see what he does after the FA cuts with the Romo money he elected not to spend on Bouye. If he solidifies the OL with some quality and adds some secondary depth I'll be pleased. Or at least I'll be a little calmer about his letting the team's best corner walk.

I also think the team's problems are likely more organizational than personal.

Expecting some experienced offensive tackles to be available after the next wave of vets are cut by other teams is the only explanation that makes any sense why the Texans would completely ignore rookie tackles in this Draft, atleast ones who could help because that doesn't include the tall & lengthy prospect from Bucknell they drafted in the 4th who won't be ready before 2018, if then, and we need help at RT now, like when they tee it up in September for the '17 season.
You know they are gonna get some other players to help Duane Brown at tackle because now they've got a much bigger investment @ QB to protect than the proverbial punching bag poor ole Tom Savage.
