    Yeah, I like his potential. I also really love Reader. Looks like he's going to fill in nicely for Wilfork.

    If we are looking at tight end we need to get the kid from miami njoku.

    No way we draft Howard. Tackle is the sure bet and we'll get value there while being able to move him to left eventually

    Gotta target a QB in the second.. disappointed that Mahomes will be probably be gone early

    Edit: if Watson is there, I can't see us passing on him

    The Texans should go OT in Round 1. It's probably the easiest position to scout so you have a good idea who among those in the draft can actually hold their own out there. A starting Tackle would be the best single outcome here, unless they see a QB they believe can step right in.

    Is anyone playing the draft game? The scoring is brutal!

    QB in the 2nd is a waste, especially if a TE or Watt are available.
    This QB class sucks.
    No need to reach.

    Other than not addressing the Oline early enough, I love that draft.

    I don't think we need to draft a TE. We have andersen and witz.

    CJ is a bad tight end. Don't mistake the fact that he got a ton of targets and was bound to catch some with him being above average. He has stone hands.

    I'm fairly certain that the rest of the NFL disagrees with you.

    TE should be the last thing the team should look for.
    LT, DB,QB,G,MLB,DT

    the left tackle first rounder becomes a stud.
    The DB shoots himself accidentally at a night club. Football career over becomes a cage fighter. Fire Rick smith campaign by local media, but an undrafted kid comes in and eventually becomes a pro bowler.
    The QB remains a mystery . He starts the last 10 games as Savage gets a papercut that turns to gangrene. We lose to the patriots in the AFC championship game.
    MLB eventually takes the place of cushing who took a pay cut to stay with the team.

    I think they''ll keep Griffin too. It's a Rock hard tightend core.

    I think we should cut cush, jjo and move Kareem to safety. Resign aj and see if we have enough to bring in a brandon Marshall level wr. Draft watson and bulk up on the o- line.

    There's still free agency. Volmer, Andre Smith, and Whitworth are free agents.

    Texans need all the complimentary pieces to continue to improve to make up for bad QB play. I would get a tight end AND a running back. Even with good QB play with Tom Brady and all world tight end with Gronk, the Patriots still went after M Bennett. And they're on their way to the super bowl. Stephen Anderson needs to go ahead and switch to wide receiver. He's just not big enough as a tight end.
