I think a "dark horse" selection for the Texans first round pick is another OT if none of the defensive prospects are on the Board that the Texans think are good value at #15 and they can't trade back.
It's another strong year for LTs and Brown has struggled with pass blocking and might be more suited to play inside or RT with Winston moving inside. Plus the Texans have more flexibility this year with a second round pick for the first time in 3 years.

man, they still have way too many holes to spend another 1st rounder on a lt. while brown a pro bowler this year, he did progress nicely, and everyone knew he would take a year or two to develope since he has only been playing tackle (not even left tackle) for 3 years. i think everyon agrees he has progressed nicely. also, why would you move him to rt? they have a good rt. if all the DL prospects are gone, i would prefer to trade back a little and get a top safety for the secondary, or even a linebacker. the only offensive pick i want to see in the first 4 rounds is on a bigger running back to help slayton, and that had better not be before the 3rd.

No way in hell do they take a tackle. Brown had murders row of pass rushers to face as a rookie. Brown is not suited to play inside, he is going to be a solid LT for years to come. He also garned some pro-bowl votes. He needs to work on technique and conditioning, but he is going to be a starter for years to come (barring a Charles Spencer injury) Winston aside from the Raiders game was very good. Duane is going to be just fine.

How do you know that he garnered some pro-bowl votes?

Kubes said that in his last radio show when they asked him about the progress of Duane Brown.

I like Brown, but where did these votes come from....online fan voting? That's about as reliable as the golden glove. If he got some from the players coaches that one thing, but the getting some votes from the fans is meaningless. I think I might have voted for him once, and I don't consider him a pro bowl player.....yet

Kubes I beleive said they were votes from his peers. If you want to fact check it, listen to his last interview on 610, I am sure it is podcasted. That is about the only time I listen to 610 is for the coaches show.
