    Tyler Higbee. Got arrested last week. Apparently he's pretty ****ing dumb when he isn't playing football.

    No I know who Higbee is- it was Sandland. Beast-mode with ball in hand- looks like Gronk.

    I wish we would have found a way to get David Morgan out of UTSA he went #188 to Minnesota... I really liked his style of play.

    Hope we had a long list of OT's and TE's as priority UDFA's

    The position is pretty thin. Everybody worthwhile got drafted. I think Stephane Nembot is about the best tackle that wasn't drafted, and he's not very good.

    Ben Braunecker, TE, Harvard would be my #1 priority, he could push for a starting spot on the current roster

    Reading about Higbee honestly makes me glad that the Texans only draft high-character players. I know that that is a practice bemoaned by many fans because they think it makes our team weaker, but it just feels good knowing that you can cheer for any of the players without there being some horrible skeleton in their closet.

    I agree I mean I make the joke about how we only draft Boy Scouts but I think there is value in that. The Texans have built a very respected organization in the league and i think we are seeing the effects of that now with players wanting to sign here and be drafted here. Despite us not being one of the storied franchises in the league. Plus its nice being the antithesis of the Cowboys who will sign guys straight out of the prison yard.

    By default the Defense will improve by improving the Offense

    So ESPN is grading each teams draft; gave everyone a thumbs up but the Raiders and 49ers

    Lol the 49ers had one of the more confusing drafts for sure.

    Obviously having a ton of picks had a lot to do with it, but thought the Titans and Jags had as good as drafts as they could imagine.

    Jags - Throw in a healthy Fowler and the Jags essentially got 3 Top 3 quality picks. Obviously Jack is a gamble but one worth taking IMO.

    Titans - Shore up both lines and get a RB that can pound the rock 20-25 times per game. About as nice of a gift you can get for Mariota.
