    the thing is there is no one other pass rusher the texans can depend on and getting Quinn would be awesome but im really hoping we trade up for Von Miller because man this guy is good.

    Also excited about Connor Barwin and how effective he can be in the 3-4 defense.

    Watt would be a decent pick, in my opinion. I've been throwing his name out there for a while. After watching him play a few times this past year, I think he could help us out. He has a motor that just doesn't stop, and he's quick and strong, to boot.

    I think the Texans would be better off finding a rush OLB with the first round pick, where I prefer Robert Quinn. In the second round, I think we have a good shot at Stephen Paea. His knee injury is the only thing holding him back, and that is minor, I think. I also like Muhammed Wilkerson from Temple and Corey Liuget from Illinois (who I don't think will be available).

    I've been watching the nfl network when some of the guys like Charlie Cas. do their mock draft. which they only do top 10 which sucks, they tend to leave out Prince of the top 10 and put Quinn way on top of their draft board. Hopefully thats comes true but I doubt it. I'll be shocked if they reach for Houston. Knowing Rick Smith, he would do something stupid like that.

    I would not be disapointed with that at all. I just have a feeling Kubiak and Wade are gonna draft Robert Quin.. I really want Prince though.

    Quinn + Moore would be a hell-a-draft. I see mocks where Quinn is a top ten pick and Moore and a late first round pick.

    I would take this in a heartbeat.

    As long as 2 QBs go in the top 10 then 1 of Julio Jones, Prince, Quinn, should be available. Anyone of those three would make me happy.

    I don't see them taking 2 DBs in a row. They have too many holes and they need all the talent they can get for the players Wade wants in his system. If Prince somehow slips to us, I can see them selecting him and reaching for a pass rusher in the 2nd round.

    RealGM Mock Draft:

    11. Houston Texans: Da’Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson. ​
    Questions about his knee are dogging his stock, but the defensively challeneged Texans will happily select a player that readily compares to Julius Peppers. A little birdie tells me they would take Julio Jones, but I can't see them ignoring the pathetic defense here.

    42. Houston Texans: Rahim Moore, S, UCLA​

    Another great scenario, dont see the Texans doing this because it addresses needs.

    I would be very happy with Quinn and then R. Moore in the 2nd.

    it would be weird to draft a 4-3 DE when a team is trying to switch to a 3-4 defence but if Bowers does fall he is the BPA unless if Prince and QAuinn are there i would love prince or Quinn

    Pro Football Talk is mentally challenged... Da'Quan Bowers is an absolute beast, and would likely be the #1 overall selection if not for red flags surrounding that knee. There's absolutely no way they pass on a talent like that for Ryan Kerrigan.

    I like the idea of going Prince in RD 1, and Marvin Austin in RD 2.
