    Good signing (He had a solid year 2016 with Steelers) for 700 K) Not bad (Depth)
    2 splash signings (Honey Badger) EJ Gaines (Another Tackle)

    I like the idea of getting some WR's for cheap with upside to see if we can get lucky and they become a good fit. Being released by the Browns is bad but a good QB can make an average WR look like a star. Big Ben did that a couple of times to Coates then he was never heard from again. Still the potential and big play ability is definitely there. Seems the moves the Texans are making are a little more well thought out in year's past. Going for quantity to see who rises to the top.

    I think they all battle for #3 and #4. But I imagine Bruce and Braxton are slot and Coates is backing Fuller V.

    Decent guy to take a flyer on. He's got speed, and from what I remember, decently good hands. Hopefully he can give Watson another weapon when Will Fuller inevitably gets injured for 3-4 weeks.

    Good pickup, worth a gamble. Huge WR, very fast, and decent hands until he had a freak fracture/tendon damage to fingers, then a knee injury... but if he can be healthy he could be a big play receiver for Watson.

    Seems like a Fuller backup. Don't fault him for not excelling with the Browns (few do).

    Like what I'm seeing with the value shopping. We've kept our powder dry and have still improved.
