    I’m also satisfied that they will give the DTs another year to develop. If things work out it should be a fine class. Need to find an edge opposite Greenard.

    The guy they picked ran a 4.59 to Spiller's 4.63, that's not any better.

    I think the Texans are taking pages from the Rockets rebuild process

    Spiller is supposed to be a more finesse RB than Pierce, who is power all the way. I personally wasn’t a fan of Spiller and I’m glad we didn’t take him

    this is the silver lining, indeed.

    That rebuild is gonna be much quicker than people thought, assuming Nick continues to target SEC players each pick.

    Players from JV NFL ready to plug and play.

    And the best part is if Mills turns out to be a stud, which is definitely possible, those picks can really replenish the roster.

    Agreed.

    Young is the better talent, but damn I wish he wasn’t so small. That or was a legit running threat.

    Well it is a bit better, especially when you consider that Pierce is a thumper. You don't have to be THAT fast as a power back. Spiller is more of a finesse back who has even less speed. I like his ability to miss tackles, and his vision, but I'd be concerned that the holes will close too quickly at the NFL level for him.

    Pierce makes his own holes.

    Hard to argue that Buckeye QBs haven’t had a great track record in the NFL

    Let’s face it. After Texans got jumped for RB in the early rounds this really became a plug-and-play situation, hope for the best, but prepare to try again next year

    Should we draft an Alabama QB instead?

    There is no guarantee they were taking Hall.
