    Alshon Jeffrey and Patrick Edwards.

    Jeffrey is probably a late 1st, early 2nd. Think Sidney Rice.

    Patrick Edwards is more likely a 4/5 round guy because of size, but he could easily replace Jones.

    Alston will be gone by the time the Texans draft. They'll need to trade up to get him.

    Alshon Jeffery is more of a Marques Colston, a big tall reciver with a crazy verticle and average speed.

    I like patrick edwards but the Texans like big recievers so look out for guys like Juron Criner, Dwight Jones and Marvin McNutt if we don't trade up for Jeffery.

    Jeff Fuller

    Should be around in the 3rd-4th round.

    Jordan White is undersized but he has some hands.

    I wouldn't mind moving down a few spots and drafting Wright.

    I've not been on the Need a #2 WR bandwagon, but he may be worth getting if price isn't too high.

    Ugh...He does fit what the Texans like. The Texans are more likely to get more maroon this year than Burnt Orange. :(

    Kendall Wright is a possible, if he some how slips.

    don't be suprised to see wright get picked up by the Browns 2nd 1st(atlanta's pick) which is ahead of our pick.

    As for Jeff Fuller he might be avalible in the 3rd but there are better options then him because drops to many passes, guys like T.Y. Hilton, Nick Toon and Streeter will be my choices if Texans go WR in the 3rd round.

    25th ranked player. Where he is projected to be drafted is totally dependent on the draft order.

    crap, that's right, the Browns are sure to draft WR...at least it is a deep WR draft class and we can get someone of a upgrade

    Fuller will be a 2nd round pick. Once he gets fully healthy his size/speed ratio at the combine will be be in the Top 5-10 at his position.

    This is going to be a deep WR draft for sure. Texans need to be drafting Andre's future replacement as he is getting injured a lot.

    I also like Keenum/Cousins/R. Wilson as 4/5 round QBs.

    I think the Texans need to go.

    1-WR
    2-Defensive player most likely a corner, or a OLB if Mario is not resigned.
    3-Defensive player CB/OLB/NG
    4-WR/QB/OG
    5-QB/WR/OG
    6-OG/WR/QB
    7-Defensive player

    IMO, the Texans won't draft a QB. I see no reason to.

    You won't see many seasons where a team loses their #1 and #2 QBs.

    It's time to start grooming AJ's replacement. But I think that can wait for at least one more year.

    I'd like a WR or CB in the first, but which ever guy looks better at their position.

    This season proves you can't wait anymore. The WR(s) were 3rd, 4th, and 5th on the team in receptions.
