Here's an off the wall thought for you. The Texans have now thrown a lot of money at the LB positions with Buster Davis and now Cato June signings. They have put some new sandbags in place on the Dline with DE & DT, so.....................why not go for TE Pettigrew in the first round? He is somewhere in the 14, 15, 16th pick range of the the first round. He is a great in line TE plus he brings good receiving skills to the position also. I know, I know, with OD we have our TE, but strictly from the standpoint of best athelete available at the time we draft, why not??????

I am starting to warm up to that idea.
