    With Diggs and Tank, while we need OL, we also need weapons. Really curious how Tank’s injury threw a curveball into the equation. It might have been a blessing in disguise so they don’t force a need and have to go more BPA.

    Remember, CJ’s rookie window is on the clock so we do need to figure out weapons before we have to pay him too.

    How many OL do you want Caserio to draft and where do you think they should draft OL? Would you like to add an OL in FA and if so who?

    Who were those so called fans hanging on your every word? Do they wear giant cheese sponges on their heads? I sure hope those fools didn't go throw money down betting on your game picks this past weekend. :p

    How many cheese heads does it take to screw in a lightbulb? You need to see the light. Green Bay couldn't even make it through the first round.

    Assuming Tank is out for the entire season and Diggs won’t be ready (even if willing to sign him), WR has to be a priority this offseason IMO.

    I'm fine with the best WR/TE/OL with our first pick.

    Whoever simply stands out from those we will have to choose from in the second round is fine with me. I just want a guy capable of immediately being able to take the field, and replace our weakest starters at that position. I really don't want a tiny receiver or anyone with an injury history that could come back to haunt us down the road.

    If we can get a really good TE, Tyler Warren maybe, that would be more beneficial IMO. He’s really good with the ball in his hands and I believe he’ll become a good blocker.

    Not to mention, TEs don’t get paid $30M+

    Just know most of these guys coming out of college have injury histories.

    I love Warren and will be very happy if they draft him at 1-25. In fact I've mocked him to the Texans. But if you could give me Tre Harris and Harold Fannin Jr, or Gunnar Helm, that would be a better combo of weapons. IMHO

    We're drafting him 1-32....you think he'll make it there?

    I dont think he makes it there after the combine. But as of right now a lot of mocks dont have Harris in the 1st rd. I could definitely see Jackson falling to 1-32.

    Love your optimism though.

    I saw one mock draft of Warren going to Indy. If he goes before us I hope it's not to a division rival. I've seen so many different mock drafts, so who knows what we will do. I've seen mock drafts showing us pick Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, Alabama guard Tyler Booker, Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty, Purdue OL Marcus Mbow, Michigan DI Kenneth Grant, Texas OT Kevin Banks Jr., and Oregon DL Derrick Harmon. I'm sure they will change with the tide, and on draft day it will probably change again anyway, depending on who is available.

    Here's how I've got the 1st rd Texans prospects stacked.

    1. Tre Harris WR Ole Miss
    2. Savion Williams WR TCU
    3. Tyler Booker OG Alabama
    4. Wyatt Milum OG,OT West Virginia

    Here's another name coming up that's diff from the other mock drafts.

    25. Houston Texans Armand Membou | OL | Missouri. It's painfully obvious how badly the Texans need to upgrade the interior of their offensive line, but they should have plenty of attractive options at this pick. One of the fastest-rising names in the class, Membou has the experience to play tackle at the next level, but his skill set could make him an All-Pro guard early in his career.

    Love this guy and had him going in the 2nd. Unfortunately it looks like he's moving up to the late 1st, early 2nd

    I'll give you another l ol to check out. Charles Grant., small school guys, but very talented. I'm really looking forward to seeing how he does at the Senior
    Bowl..

    Man I’m not sure. I don’t feel super qualified to talk especially for interior OL.

    I would say this : we keep trying to assemble a group and fail. We first need to know if Slowik is staying and what our offensive identity is going to be. Then we need to take a hard look at the entire unit. They feel like an assembly of varying degrees of talented individuals; not a unit. Then I probably fire the OL coach and task the new one with applying said identity and giving a firm answer to your question of who is a liability and what holes there are to plug.

    In absence of that, we definitely need weapons. We have one weapon that scares people : Nico. We have limited funds to FA address both of these issues too. But getting to where we want to get means we need a rock solid plan to fix both ASAP.

    I would start by having Rick Dennison as ol, run game coordinator and bringing in John Benton to help with the ol if they're going to continue to be mainly a WCO team.

    I hope they don't waste any roster spots on feel good stories next year.
