    I keep hearing Oliver and/or Gaither are draft worthy, 3rd or 4th rounders. Is there a place for either/both with the Texans?

    Oliver help stop Calvin Johnson last season but ran a slow 40 time so he could go in the 5th/6th round. Gaither is projected to go 5th round to either Falcons, Jags, or Ravens. I don't see Texans going after no of these players. They could sign receiver Eric McCain as camp body since he will go undrafted.

    Those are definitely the 2 biggest names, don't really see the Texans doing anything since we are already w/o a 2nd rounder next season. But Gaither at 6-9 350lbs. who has supposedly great feet and quickness (basketball player as well) is an interesting prospect.

    Oliver went in the 4th round to the Chargers and Gaither to the Ravens in the 5th.

    I wonder why neither was worth that to Texans?

    hopefully a good sign that we like the OL's that we have on the roster, and maybe Spencer is going to play?

    Still wouldn't hurt to use a 5th rounder, Salaam is old, and this is probably his last year.

    I do trust this regime waaaaaay more than the old one, so I won't question it.

    Either/both 'seem' as if they were steals where taken. I hope there will be no regrets.
