Both Texans first round pick busts Smith may very well turn into the next Demarcus Ware, but he could be the next Vernon Gholston. I would prefer the less risky pick even if it means giving up another pick or two.
Who says he's particularly risky? He's a big-time talent with a great motor and terrific attitude. People are just nervous because he plays for a school they didn't watch and wasn't on their initial watch lists in late December.
There goes the 2 pipe dreams, now I'm hoping for Robert Quinn. Once ESPN went into full commercial mode during the Cardinals pick, I was almost certain we just traded up. ESPN always cuts to commercials during our picks
At some point, yes - but if that price in theory is your full draft, would you do it? No CB of Peterson's size has ever been dominant in the NFL... the Texans have a LOT of needs... it's not a slam dunk, depending on the price.
