    Wow, I see we have no need to give Slaton a backup.

    We are going to work him to death and then blame him for not being more durable.

    ESPN says he's a good blocker.

    Kubiak is too arrogant with his ZBS and thinking we'll be able to just plug in any ole guy and it'll work out. I have a feeling if we don't get another good solid back in the off-season than it'll be the end of the season.

    I'm sure that's what he's thinking, he can find a and guy to just come in and do the job.

    Looks like Breuner's replacement. Blocker & skills. Why couldn't we pick up a TE in the 6th or 7th?

    I hope Rick and Gary know what their doing...

    I'm not saying though this is a bad pickup. Besides Daniels we really have no other TE.

    But dang, I'm worried about Slaton a small RB already getting more snaps than he should. Also Chris Brown will be when the season starts most likely... :rolleyes:

    That's the first one that seems to be really stupid. A reach, and for a position that the Texans are mostly set at. I hope he's a great player.

    Yep, don't know why we couldn't wait until the 5th to get any of these two guys.

    Texans passed on him twice so I guess we just didn't want him.

    I bet we try to get a RB in the FA, boy do I hope Kubiak wasn't serious when he said "Don't forget we have Chris Brown" before the draft...

    Chris Brown is NEVER healthy so how are we not supposed to forget about him.

    Looking at who's left on the board at RB, I'd be happy with either Rashad Jennings or James Davis of Clemson. Davis is a pretty solid back who split carries with CJ Spiller
