My Guys 2011 Draft Board

[Roy P]

My first draft is always fun to come back and look at a year later. Heck, just to see who comes off the board and who gets added by the time draft day comes around is entertaining. These are the guys I'd be targeting in the draft. If you are wondering why I don't have Cam Newton on the board or Nick Fairly, it's because I don't see them as 'fits' for the Texans. There are plenty of talented players in the draft every year that I wouldn't select because they don't fill a need, are poor value, over-rated, don't fit our scheme, have red flags, don't meet my criteria or minimum standards for height/weight, etc. Essentially, this is MY list so I can rank whoever I want.

So, without further ado.....
