Decent WR :( Good KR
Great PR 
would be a good signing for us. May not be the best wr but atleast he's a football player.

I hope it's so. I'd love to see us get a 2nd rounder back. I'd be fine with us trading back twice even, picking up 2 extra 2nds and then getting a cheaper player at the end of the round. Once we have a solid corp group we can start worrying about getting super stars with our first rounders.
I would imagine the Al Wilson being gonzo from Denver means that the target could/would be Willis.
so much for that Vikings selecting Peterson ..waiting fot the trade down.
Good pick...adds quickness and pass rush to the DL..Hopefully, will help Mario williams' pass rush ability.
We've also got Weaver signed to a pretty good deal, and still paying for Gary Walker, Robaire Smith, and Seth Payne. I am sick of defensive linemen and this team in general.....
Although I like the Okoye pick (IF he pans out, big bust risk in my eyes), I'm going to have to temper expectations to 6-10 this year.The rumored trade down with Denver would have been nice, as we could have gotten either a safety or Alan Branch and we would have had an extra 2nd to work with. As it stands with no #2 corner and no safety worth a pro-roster, our secondary is going to be paper thin again this year. At least the offense should be much improved from last year.Who knows on Jones? WR was a need, but I know little about the guy. Can he be all that much better an option than Anderson, Walter or Mathis? I understand the Texans brass got a good look at him during the Shrine game at Reliant this year, so maybe they saw something they really liked (plus Bloom likes him!)
having fresh d-line types to rotate in is the key to a great defense, this organization sees that. The old jokers would have kept Carr and drafted Okoye third overall. 10 is about right
Oakland thought so, but the Texans 4th rounder has been traded to the Saints4th for 4th (123) , 5th (163)
no problem
I like Okoye at 1.10 alot more than the other 3 DL metioned in regards to their draft positions. Babin and Travis Johnson were both reaches. Said thing is, I remember us trading up to draft them! The book is still out on Mario, but chaces are he was the wrong pick when Young and Bush were on the board. Maybe we can generate pressure on the QB this season which will make any secondary look better.Don't like it--what's our strategy, draft enough project defensive linemen and eventually one will pan out? What happened to the rumored trade down with Denver? We've drafted Babin, Travis Johnson, Mario, and now Okoye in the 1st round.
In 2005 we traded down, not up. We were picking 1.13 and traded with New Orleans and acquired 1.16 (which we used to take Travis Johnson) and a 2006 3rd rounder which turned into pick 3.2 and was used by Kubiak along with our 3.1 to take Winston and Spencer.I like Okoye at 1.10 alot more than the other 3 DL metioned in regards to their draft positions.

God our franchise sucks....

Why didn't they push the envelope and get the #123 and #125? I am so confused with this team and just about ready to bail on this bumbling organization. I just don't get it.
A few picks later the steelers used 6th to move up close to the same amount of spots. Guys, the Texans have done plenty that deserves criticism, but let's not find fault when it is not warranted.I don't get this trade with the Saints....................the Saints had the #123 and 125 in the 4th and #145 (one pick behind the Texans 5th round pick) and #163. Why in the hell did we settle for #123 and #163.........
This was my sleeper pick for them and I'm very happy they took him. Thought they mey have been able to get him a round later though but late 4th is good for me.
This is what happens when your fans have zero trust in your organization. Nothing to criticize with that trade down. They got the value the pick was worth. If they tried to squeeze nickels out the saints they would have not gotten the deal done.
I somewhat agree. This organization never makes a move that makes people say, "WOW, GREAT MOVE TEXANS!" I'm beginning to think that sentence doesn't exist. Anyone know anything about Fred Bennett?
I agree.PS You were right and I was wrong about Jackie Battle. I thought some team would go Chris Henry over his pro day numbers. He is looking like a round 5-6-7 now.
Bennett has good size 6'1 195ish and decent speed , and at times played to that ability ...the key is that at times thing. Is not considered tough enough or have good enough ball skills to convert to safety, but does have good athletic skill overall.
Hoping that Battle does get drafted...Honestly, I would trust his record of production over Chris Henry's, but then I am just a guy on the internet.
I do have faith in them, but this makes me scratch my head.........why would you move down 16 picks only to get compensated by acquiring the last of New Orleans 5th round picks? I'm sorry, I would have demanded either that other 4th round pick or the 1st of the 5th round picks. If New Orleans would have wanted to trade at that point, they would have or would not have made it. I just don't see dropping that far down in order to help the Saints.Didn't we help them enough last season?
Did anyone ever stop to think that maybe the Texans know who they want and know that they would be there when they pick? There are alot of guys to be had late in this draft and it seems as though the Texans just wanted to be in position to get one.I do have faith in them, but this makes me scratch my head.........why would you move down 16 picks only to get compensated by acquiring the last of New Orleans 5th round picks?

Its a good pick. CN do you know why Tim Shaw is still on the board?
nevermind Carolina just took him
On Shaw, many people think he move around the defense becuase he really was not good any of the positions. Has great speed and athletic ability. some people think that his best position was RB and quite honestly never a fair shot to show those skills. His athletic profile is very similar to B. leonard who did get the chance to stay on offense.
It does for me, I was really wondering if they would. I'm not sure but I think he is the first Longhorn the Texans have had on their roster.
