    With all the wide receivers drafted and Lamar Miller and our current 2 TE's, isn't Fiedorowicz a good blocker. There won't be enough room on the field for all our offense to move where they need to.

    I would like to see 4 WR sets out of the shotgun with some no huddle series. We will be so dynamic and dangerous on offense.

    I love this pick. Miller is raw but his short area quickness and agility are elite, even for players in the league. Not gonna get a lot of PT in Year 1 minus screens and special teams but once he gets coached up..... watch out.

    Someone said this reminds them of a Devier Posey selection.

    That's terrible. When people want to doubt, they literally just throw **** on the wall to see what sticks.

    Terrible comparison. They both went to Ohio state and both play wr. It ends there

    You're forgetting about the type of offensive scheme that BoB is running here. These guys are tailor-made for it. I'll admit that I was skeptical like you until I saw what his skill set looked like. This is a guy who they'll use to attack the middle of the field thereby creating havoc for the opposing defense. They now have SPEED on both the outside and inside to attack the defense. That is huge. Add in Miller in the backfield and Os is being given the weapons he needs succeed.

    i can see where the "illegal pick" crossing pattern becomes an automatic first down for us.

    Yes, I'm sure he has input but he's more of an assistant GM. Kubiak, Wade and now BOB are making the roster decisions

    Are the Texans going to try and make one of their receivers a tight end?

    He kinda has a Reggie Bush elusiveness to him when coming out of college. Same build similar quickness...plus the fact he can do the wildcat or slot receiver is icing on the cake.. someone said very un texan like pick , and I agree but its a good thing

    Yeah until they all turn out to be busts then it's a Rick Smith draft.

    Sigh...

    I don't think they will be bust if they are used correctly. If some fans have expectations of these guys coming in here and being MVP candidates in two years, then they should lower their expectations.
