Antonio, Wilfork, Watt and add in Crick, Pagen, Nix to that. I like that front on paper. If Nix makes it he field. That is a nice 6 man rotation.

Nix is simply last year's winner of the Bennie Joppru Award. Seems every year the Texans draft someone who turns out to be entirely useless - typically in the second or third round.
2002 - Charles Hill, 3rd rd. 2002 - (suppl) Tony Hollings, 2nd rd 2003 - Bennie Joppru, 2nd rd., Seth Wand, 3rd rd., Dave Ragone, 3rd rd. 2004 - traded 2nd and 3rd to Tenn for Jason Babin 2005 - Vernand Morency, 3rd rd. 2006 - Charles Spencer, 3rd rd. 2007 - traded 2nd for Matt Schaub 2008 - traded 2nd for Matt Schaub, Antwuan Molden, 3rd rd. 2011 - Brandon Harris, 2nd rd. 2012 - DeVier Posey, 3rd rd* 2013 - Brennan Williams, 3rd rd, Sam Montgomery, 3rd rd. 2014 - Louis Nix, 3rd rd * - could still merit his selection but it looks less likely each year. So, as you can see, our record in the 2nd and 3rd sucks ass more often than not under both Casserly and Smith. 2009 and 2010 are the only years where they didn't pick a dud in either round (or traded away the pick) although one could argue about Antoine Caldwell in 2009. They should probably lock Smith out of the war room on Day 2 and let a blind squirrel do their drafting. The squirrel might do better. Last edited by HPF Bob; 04-03-2015 at 09:05 AM.

It's ridiculous to list the Schaub picks as a waste. The guy was a good QB and provided great return on those picks up until his last year here. GMs with no QB (or worse, GMs with Derek Carr) would all be thrilled to get the first 5 years of Matt Schaub we got and the division titles that came with that stretch.
Schaub was one of the biggest factors in our transition from joke to above-average franchise. He was then one of the biggest factors holding us back in our efforts to move beyond above average. But I have great appreciation for him and I am guessing you would be hard pressed to hind sight cherry pick those two picks into a bigger payoff for Houston. Just for comparison's sake, 5 QBs were drafted in the 2nd rounds of the 2007 and 2008 draft. They are Kevin Kolb, John Beck, Drew Stanton, Brian Brohm, and Chad Henne.
