    And why do you say that? Who do you think the Texans will pick up?

    If I had to go with one guy right now, I'd say DeMarcus Ware, OLB/DE from Troy. I just don't see anyway that the Texans go after Barron. Casserly is a big fan of Wand, he just admitted that they were forced to play him a year before he was ready. He gained a lot of experience last year, and having a rookie protect Carr's blindside for the third time in four years would be a disaster.

    Ive been saying it for months now, no way the Texans take Barron with their 13th pick. The OL isnt the only problem spot for the Texans and upgrading another area of the team will prove more beneficial because Barron just isnt that special (unless you are strictly talking athletic ability for a man his size). I think Jammal Brown is actually better all around than Barron. Brown's run blocking is absolutely solid.

    Anyways, thats a moot point. Texans arent going with OLine in the first round at pick 13. Its looking like it will be an OLB, WR, or CB, in that order.

    Very good point. There just insnt that deep of a draft pool to have a bigtime impact player at OL this year to be wasting it on our pick. Im sure if anything they will trade down or take a good OLB to help with the rush and put some pressure on the QB of the other team. That is one of our weaker points right now and i think thats the biggest thing we can improve on and then use some of our assests to obtain a nice vetran OL to help out.
