    This may be the Longhorn homer in me but what about Jeffcoat with our fourth rd compensatory pick?

    I am Horn too, but usually you want taller DEs in the 3-4
    He is better suited for the 4-3
    He might have a shot at OLB but we already took one

    Ugh:

    Matt Williamson
    No QB in this class is close to Thomas' skill set

    Matt Williamson
    Greg Cosell compares Thomas very much to Cam Newton as same point of college career...that kind of ability

    The other rebuilding project is Savage. I don't want to see it, but if he's there I bet he's the Texans' pick.

    Agree

    We arguably took the

    Best player overall
    Best OG (or 2nd best at worst)
    Best blocking TE
    Best NT for the 3-4 (or 2nd best at worst)

    Clearly we haz needs (QB for example), but they have made the most of the spots we had


    Here is the way I look at it ....
    With those first two picks, they actually filled 4 positions

    Clowney at OLB allows Reed to move to ILB effectively filling 2 LB spots

    The Samoan -X- at LG allows Quessenberry move to RT effectively filling 2 OL spots

    I see it as efficient, if not clever

    Alot of people are focused on the QB issue and not seeing the big picture

    Thomas is off the board. Pack it in and wait for Winston. FitzgPatrick will be serviceable for the season

    Good thing Keenum will get another shot if it's a fair and open practice.

    With Logam Thomas off the board, looks like Savage or Murray


    HOU is at the bottom of the scroll now, we are getting closer

    New Orleans is one to watch for Murray. They were rumored to be after him.

    Wonder if Mettenberger will go undrafted. I'd bring him to camp
