    Last year the Colts were a bad good team and haven't gotten significantly better in the off-season, I'm not sure why people are acting as though they did.

    Yeah that's what everyone keeps saying. He's a good QB no doubt, but I think that's wishful thinking.

    The schedule is even easier this year... and the team should be improved.

    The schedule is only easier based on last season's records. The AFC East teams seem to have gotten better.

    isn't the talk that only elite qbs matter?
    Brady, brees, andrew luck and andrew luck. those are all the 'elite qbs' we face in the schedule. None of those scare me. we will be there with a situational coaching decision to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
    The D lines of buffalo and miami, now that is scary. everybody else can be got, including the lucks and the breeses.

    This off-season has been a success since I've actually found a few things to agree with Bobbythegreat on. His excessive posting no longer annoys me. I say the in the most respectful way possible, bobby.

    Probably not good, but in the event the guy suffers a meteoric plummet down the draft list (I know, unlikely) then I'm sure the Texans want to know, instantaneously, if there is something about him that would prevent them from drafting him. Seems like every year there is someone that falls down much farther than anyone in the media expected, which just goes to show that there is probably no "insider" out there that actually gets any real inside information that the team doesn't already want them to have when it comes to draft boards.

    I like Trae Waynes and Dorial Green Beckham. I know Beckham has the off the field issues but that guy will be a player in the NFL.

    Reminds me of Demaryius Thomas. I think Devante Parker will be big time as well

    Last year there was a very low correlation between people they met with and people they drafted.

    gonna be honest, i only glanced at the first name, but i'd love jamison crowder. game changer in the antonio brown mold. absolute phenom at returning punts and would make for a nice speedy slot we so desperately covet.

    I want Quandre Diggs. Local kid. Love his game and what he would bring to the Texans.

    I hope that we get him!

    And the NFC South teams seem to have gotten worse (if that's even possible).

    Heh, fair enough. The board is a lot less contentious this year than it was last year. It's been nice.

    Absolutely. And I salute to those of you that have helped it resume back to its normal self after last year.
