    Great time to go house shopping Johnson. The mosquitoes are hitting the gym called "outside".

    Too bad CBs can't wear #80.

    Really like to know how Mr. Pancakes feels about the deal. That's our one true measuring stick.

    Solid pick. Good future replacement for Joseph.

    Wanted them to pick a CB in the first couple of rounds and we got arguably the best in the draft ,so no complaints

    Seems like a happy dude.

    So we have a good pass rush and good secondary now.

    Why wouldn't the front office want him to visit predraft so he could interview with the coaches like prospects do all over the league?

    Teams can't have visits with everybody and players can't go visit every team. That's part of what the combine is for. And the visits the Texans schedule encompass players that go beyond the first couple of rounds. Of the 25 players that did visit the Texans, only 3 went in the 1st round (Gurley, Marcus Peters, and Shaq Thompson).

    So he's a multi-sport athlete like Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders?

    I like the pick but with some contingencies. He definitely needs to bulk up if he is going to tackle RB's etc. I don't think he is afraid to tackle ala Philip Buchanan, I just think he is a bit small overall.

    First Andre Johnson, then Nick Johnson..... now Kevin Johnson.

    What's up about these Johnson's?
