Would anyone like to move Robinson to FS??

The problem is DRob is going to want to come back at a price that isnt worth what he can bring to the table, even in the FS position. I just dont see him agreeing to come back at less than $7 mil/yr, and at this point he's not worth that much. I say we let him go and move on.

I think the Texans are much more likely to draft a CB this year in the first than they are a safety. First of all, they already have a serviceable safety who they are not overpaying. I know a lot of fans pine for a freeranging safety who intercepts a lot of balls, but I don't think Kubiak is losing sleep at night trying to figure out how to get one. The Texans have greater needs. Besides, freeroaming safeties sometimes come with liabilities--they tend to gamble, and as a group they don't tend to be the top notch against the run.

There is an old saying that you can't have too many good corners. So to me there is no downside in taking a CB in the first round if there is one on the board that they are in love with. But if there is a nose tackle or a big running back on the board, I could easily see them going in that direction too.

No matter how much other teams as well as the Texans talk about taking BPA in the first round, if you look at previous drafts you will see they almost never do it. CB, NT or RB will very likely be the direction the Texans go in.

By the way, I realize that guard is probably a big need too, but I just can't see them going for one at nineteen or twenty. A guard taken that high had better be a can't-miss pro bowl prospect.
