    not worried about DT

    Amobi is gonna have a big year

    I think big Frank Okam will be in the rotation

    Smith will be moved inside on passing downs

    As far as a RB, I think the article on chron.com said we looked at 2 in the 2nd but they were gone

    I am sorta hoping that the Texan RB draft list was a bit more than two names deep...

    Wow another speedy. I'm starting to like him more and more after reading scouting reports.

    Starting to sound like a pretty decent pick.

    Here's one from National Football Post. Kinda worrisome that while he has great speed he has poor footwork. But where he was picked I suspect any propsect will have question marks... guess we will see soon enough.

    The Good: An electric corner with great burst and deep speed down the field. Clocked in with a time of 4.33 at his pro day and has the ability to consistently make up for a false step. Plays with natural flexibility and does a nice job exploding out of his breaks toward the football.

    The Bad: Possesses only decent footwork and at times his feet move faster then his body. Is undersized and will struggle being physical in the NFL. Had a lot of talent around him (CB Sean Smith) and was not always asked to cover the opposing teams top WR.

    Lots of rated pretty high amongst the other RBs.

    Houston's own, Lance Zierlein had him as his fifth best RB and slotted in the 2nd or 3rd round and in the top 60 overall!

    RJ obviously isnt what everyone thought...there is a reason he is available in the 7th round.

    Rashad Jennings is the same size and the same speed as Beanie Wells.

    Ian Johnson, Jeremiah Johnson, Korey Sheets, and PJ Hill are all still available as well.

    Green Bay chose an OLB
    and
    San Francisco already picked Glen Coffee and they have Fred Gore

    Buffalo has Marshawn Lynch and Dominic Rhodes and Fred Jackson

    Washington has Clinton Portis

    Philadelphia has Brian Westrbrook and chose Lesean McCoy

    Then Houston is up and they should take Rashad Jennings

    Prediction is almost always different that fruition. He might be a great back but I think the league would know more than the online "bloggers". Z is a good read but he isn't a coach in the league.

    Texans may just decide to pass again and try to sign one as an undrafted FA.

    I heard on Sirius NFL Radio and he was pretty stoked and excited about coming to Houston.

    If we dont pick a running back we should pick a DT

    either Ricky Jean Francois from LSU
    or
    Clinton McDonald from Memphis

    I think Gartrell Johnson was the man the Texans were hoping would fall, but he went pretty early to the Chargers (End of 4th round I think)

    that's what we have been thinking for a long time...but the Texans have passed up Jennings already, I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again.

    Colts just traded up in front of us...
    I think they may be targeting Rashad Jennings even though they got Donald Brown
