    He was moved to tackle and struggled early in the season. He improved as the season went on. However he is really a guard and is solid at that spot.

    Looks like he played pretty decently at tackle and was pretty solid in pass pro. I'd absolutely sign him if the deal is cheap. Chris Clark was absolutely one of the worst tackles in football last year so I'd have no problem TRYING on someone else.

    Struggled is putting it lightly. He was pretty much then Chris Clark of the Browns. Fans talk about him like we talk about Clark.

    He struggled at tackle, but is a solid guard.

    They moved him back to guard at the end of the year.

    He did improve at tackle as the season wore on, but he is not a good tackle.

    There isn't a lot out there, but he is worth considering at guard because I don't think Allen and Filo are all that special.

    What are you talking about. I never said they were getting Cutler. I said I MYSELF would rather have Cutler than Weeden. Of course that doesnt mean OB would put up with him, or he would take vet min, or he would handle being a 3rd string. Just simply stating I would rather have him than BRANDON WEEDEN.. Jesus get over yourself.

    Adrian Peterson was in the 90s I believe. And we have seen him lose a step, we don't know about Watt. I think he makes it.

    Interested to know about where Hopkins lands.

    Lamar was in one of the previews so i think he might show up next week.

    I think a group of Filo, Mancz, Martin, Paztor, Allen & Fuller would be a nice group too have when you find the star through the draft or next year's free agency.

    Upgrading RT, OLB feels a must. Finding a vet upgrade over Weeden..wouldn't mind Fitz coming back for a year.

    CB and RT has to be top priorities for 2018 draft

    I think you meant 2018 FA. Or 2019 draft.

    No I had the correct year. Next draft we need a CB in round 1. Joseph is done after this season and Kareem is nothing special

    Maybe somebody will give us their second rounder to take on a contract for them?

    We don't have a first or second round pick next year.

    Yeah like it was just said. Texans ain't getting no 1st round anything next draft. It'll either be FA or 2018.

    Gotta be free agency. Next years draft will be picks that upgrade the depth of reserves. Probably not finding a Rd3 pick that can start on a team built like this. Could be wrong. Great players do fall.

    Yep, and there will be a good group of defensive backs in free agency (Xavier Rhodes, Malcolm Butler, Nevin Lawson, Trumaine Johnson etc) along with Nate Solder at tackle to be had. It's very possible they could get into the 2nd round if they really want a player in that range. They will most likely have 8 picks with two in the 3rd. But a first isn't happening.
