    With the 83rd pick in the draft, Texans select Louis Nix. Traded up. Lots of people wanted this guy.

    Terms of the trade:
    Texans acquired the 83rd pick (3rd round)

    Eagles received the 101 (4th rd) and 141 (5th rd) picks.

    So don't call them chickens or only willing to play it safe or whatever. They traded up to get a guy that has massive bust out of the league potential. He could either fat himself out out of the league or no-knees himself out.

    It's a gamble, but if he's healthy our D line will be ungodly

    Underwent surgery in late November to repair a torn meniscus (Dr. James Andrews). Did not bench press at the NFL Scouting Combine (pectoral).

    I expect this to be the most popular pick poll wise.

    LOL. When you google "louis nix" the first thing that comes up is a picture of Vince Wilfork.

    First pick i'm ecstatic about. ( I love Clowney (obvious pick at 1.1) but I wanted JFF through a trade down or trade in so my first round was ruined)

    Better player than the guys we got in the 2nd and early 3rd, IMO. Nice pick.
