Really hoping for Justin Simmons tomorrow and I'll be happy about the entire draft. (Or Jayron Kearse)
Jags and Titans trying to load up their defense. BoB and Rick like...okay Just try and stop us now. Defensive picks will come tomorrow with maybe a RB selection...we'll see
Well the bad news is the Texans have serious doubts about Strong. But the good news is the Texans are okay with Covington sliding in for Crick.
He's about to enter his 4th yr, they picked up the 5th yr and can franchise him for the 6th yr. so he will be here for at least 3 more years.
Yup and they won't have to pay these new WRs with a new contract for a while. So whenever they do extend his contract they can structure it as thus. Shorts probably won't be here after next season as well I'd guess. Especially if Braxton progresses well.
Haven't paid any attention to the Titans but Jags look like they're really loading up on defense. I believe all three picks have been defense and they already have Dante Fower coming so four picks.
I was not liking this pick but dang we are going to have one heck of an offense. This seems so un Texan like. I like it now the competition for our wide receivers will be something to watch. He will definitely be our returner guy. If Os is only even an average QB we are going to score a lot of points this year. I am shocked but enjoying the direction that the Texans have taken during free agency and the draft. Just WOW.
When it comes to the Texans D line, I guess we shouldn't forget about Devon Still. I mean, he has his issues and might not even make the team, but not that long ago he was considered a kid with huge potential. Most of the reason his career tanked was that he was distracted by his daughter's struggle with cancer, now that she's beat it, there's a chance he will re-dedicate himself to the game and be something worthwhile.

Majority touches will go to: Hopkins Miller Fuller We also now have: Braxton Shorts Mumphery Strong Backup RBs (blue, Grimes, hunt) TEs- (griffin and Fiedo) Don't think we're keeping that many WRs...unless were going to more 4 WR sets? I thought we'd emphasize the run with Miller...maybe not?
Completely forgot about him and I like his game. This really opens up our offense. I think biggest needs now are S and DL
