I can live with the 1st pick, but I wish they would watch a Texans game before setting our needs list.

32 Terrance Williams WR Baylor 6' 3" 205
62 Kevin Minter ILB LSU 6-1 245
94 Shayne Skov ILB Stanford 6' 3" 242
126 Jordan Hill DT Penn State 6' 1" 297
158 Quinn Sharp PT Oklahoma State 6' 1" 194
190 Best RB on the board.

Maybe it should look like this:
31 Eric Reid* S LSU 6' 2" 208
61 Sylvester Williams DT UNC 6' 3" 320
93 Shayne Skov ILB Stanford 6' 3" 242
125 Dion Jordan DE Oregon 6' 7" 231
157 Tanner Brock ILB TCU 6' 3" 246
189 Dyrell Roberts WR Virginia Tech 6' 1" 196

Yes you can see a theme here.

I guess that speed on defense is the theme.

I was going to say defense was the theme, but I'll take yours.

157 Dave Kruger DT Utah 6' 5" 290

Not a bad attempt, but I see guys that don't fit the prototypes for certain positions.

31 Sylvester Williams DT UNC 6' 3" 320
61 Bacarri Rambo S Georgia 6' 1" 208
93 Shayne Skov ILB Stanford 6' 3" 242

I like yours a lot better PK.

Gil Brandt had an interesting stat that the Pro Bowl had 23 UDFA. Found that interesting.

Don't tell that to Charlie Casserly

With the bye week upon us, time for me to readdress the teams areas of need as I see them. I truly see a strong team, not many weaknesses. Some depth area that can be improved upon, but no glaring issues.

So what are my concerns, the upcoming FAs are a concern. Barwin, Cody, Quin, McCain, Caldwell to name a few. Caldwell looks like he has been replaced, unless they want him for depth. McCain has a high round draft pick on the bench, Harris is waiting, does he deserve a shot? Cody, Barwin and Quin are all starters that are being paid on the low end for their positions. We have the franchise tag, which currently doesn't seem likely on any of them, unless Barwin really steps it up. And Mercilus showed signs today that he deserves more snaps.

What are my biggest concerns? ILB and NT are the biggest. TE, more specifically a blocking TE. Safety help is possibly on the list, if we loose Quin. OLB depth if we loose Barwin. Depth at DE is always a position to watch for.

To a lesser extent the OL could be an issue if Newton flops, I don't see that happening.

I'm ok at the following positions for the coming offseason: QB, RB, WR, CB, K, P.

I can see us going BPA, and truly meaning it.
