Possibly, but don't see it with our choir boy mentality.

Could be Williams, Dowling, or Harris.

OR, and IMO preferrably, an OLB. Brooks Reed, Justin Houston come to mind.

I'm cool with any of those choices....so it's going to be somebody else.

Wouldn't be a Texans draft if they picked someone we all liked.......

It'll be somebody like LB Mason Foster or Kelvin Sheppard

I didn't want Prince either but that Watt pick did surprise me. Rick said he would go for best player available instead of need and obviously Fairley was the best available.... I wasn't sold on Prince after I watched his highlights against OSU.

There has been a lot of talk lately that Fairley has come across as a guy who will mail it in a lot of the time once he gets the big check.

That's the benefit of having Suh on the roster. Fairley won't be allowed to 'mail it in' next to Suh.

Watt? We take another DL in the first round? I think the Texans want a D-unit with 11 DLs and no DBs.

Repeat after me: "We must get to Peyton Manning..."
