    And now that I think about it, his versatility could give him an advantage over Nix if the Texans are looking to fill that position at #33 with how OB wants to play multiple D and move people up and down the line.

    Tuitt even more so than Hageman and Tuitt is 3 years younger than hageman and more polished.

    Tuitt produced sacks i think 24 in 3 years and played against high competition, Hageman didn't do either.

    I wouldn't be mad about Hageman but i like Tuitt

    I like the idea of the Texans taking a NT. Plugging that spot should open up the possibilities within the defensive scheme and maximize both Watt and Clowney.

    I like Hageman or Nix, but not Tuitt. I just can't see him fitting the system as well as the aforementioned. I think Cannonball has convinced me Hageman over Nix. I think Hageman definitely has more potential.

    Beau Allen in the 6th rd from Wisconsin would be the best fit next too Watt.

    Fine with Carr, Kouandjio, Yankey, Amaro, Hyde at 2.1. Stick with BPA on your board. Texans need depth everywhere.

    That's the whole point of draft boards and draft grades for each player. I'm sure the texans had clowny and then 20 or 30 other players after him. If they went the way you just posted then that means they failed to move up to to get every one of those players except clowny...it doesn't work that way. You evaluate the prospects and put a draft value for each one. You can't control what other teams are going to do in front of you or behind you. If they thought Bridgewater was a 2nd round talent along with other quarterbacks you can't fault them for not moving up to get him.

    Whoever they want. Like I've said, they still have the pick of the litter as far as NT's go. And right now, I think that's our biggest need position. The only guy we have on roster who's big enough to play NT was a 3rd stringer in KC and didn't play all that much.

    Why not Tuitt he has been a better player much longer is 3 years younger than hageman, is an inch taller and has a much better floor than Hageman. I see these two as talented big 5 techs who can both move down inside and Tuitt i see an instant starter and Hagman I see a project? I like Tuitt

    I agree with NT being a position of need but do you think they pass on Carr?

    We don't need taller. We need wider. Clowney is a more than capable replacement for Smith. Hageman/Nix and then Van Noy. Our D would be set.

    A guy named Bruce Feldman comes out with an annual list of the biggest athletic freaks in all of college football. This last year, #1 was Clowney. Number 2? Hageman. Hageman was a TE until two years ago, so he's still learning the position.

    We need penetration besides Clowney and JJ and I don't think Nix will do that he will not be double teamed in the NFL because he is quick for his size but no where near the level of Wilfork. Hageman does have potential though.

    We can't go Defense 3 picks in a row we need a RT and a QB

    We can just have Kareem cover the whole opposing team. It's fine we should draft 5 more defensive linemen in the next five rounds and draft a Place Holder / QB in the seventh.
