Exactly just as I said. He has Percy Harvin written all over him. Except Miller doesn't seem to be a hot head.. Let's hope he stays healthy

 

I don't really get it

Seems like a good player but we have holes to address

Thought we were set at wr

 

Texans going all out on offense after getting shut out in the playoffs.

 

Well, with how often our QBs are getting injured

Shane Lecher wouldn't be the emergency QB anymore...

 

Man this team should be fun to watch... Can't deny that.

 

Braxton in the slot makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Didn't know that was his primary role.

 

I get that, but there is no way the Texans drafted Miller to be a QB. He's going to be a special teams star (at least he Texans are hoping for that). And he can run a wild cat, maybe. He's going to be a returner and a plug/slot receiver like Percy was. Low risk high reward pick in my opinion.

 

Sexy sexy pick. This offense is going to be freaking SICK.

 

Love it! Love it! Love it!

Dynamic and could probably be a returner. Also good for trick plays.

BoB ain't messing around on offense this year

 

Can we play tomorrow ?

 

Very exciting pick... I know we have bigger needs, but we have some major playmakers on offense. We loaded up with home run hitters. Putting him in the slot to take over from Cecil, at some point, is nice too. Teams can't possibly have the speed to match up with Fuller, Miller, and Miller.

 

Assuming Brock doesn't suck, yes.

Called this in January, but Rick Smith got more value than I thought he would.

 

This should not be ignored. When have you ever heard a player that has no other ties to Houston say he hopes to play for the Texans?

Strange but very interesting pick. Adds something that no Texans offense has ever had. Going to see a lot of wildcat next season.

Before he moved to WR last season, Braxton Miller ran for 32 TDs in his 3 seasons at QB. He threw for 52. In other words, get him the ball.
