I will say this...I wasn't high on him to begin with but I'm gonna give him a chance. Especially, after hearing Mike Mayock on NFLN calling him a "Meat Head" LOL If he is a blue-collar worker like Mayock says he is then welcome to Houston!

Your thoughts and assesments of him as player,and how well u think we did getting him.

/Discuss.

I aint happy.

I think he's over rated and injury prone.

Hope he proves me wrong.

This is what I wrote yesterday evening after reviewing tape of some of the top prospects:

Agreed. This kid has had one injury after another. We can't afford to have an injury prone first rounder. I hope he proves me wrong as well.

**Thorn** · 04-25-2009

I figured they'd go defense in the 1st round. Cushing is good, we could have probably dropped down and still picked up a good player, but I'll take him. So far Kubiac and Smith haven't done anything to upset me.

Now on to the 2nd round!

Ryan · 04-25-2009

He could provide the intensity we've been searching for for a very long time. I see him having a good career in Houston.

TexansSeminole · 04-25-2009

Not happy at all with this pick. I know we need an OLB but I am not a Cushing fan. He is my lowest rated player taken in the first 15 picks, by far.

**Hookem Horns** · 04-25-2009

Anyone else think of this guy when you look at Cushing?

Spike · 04-25-2009

I don't feel strongly one way or the other. With everything going on with Robinson, I was hoping that Jenkins would fall. Can't be angry about a trade down that wasn't there...

This was a need position that we needed to fill - so I am looking forward to an upgrade here.

that is the key.

personally don't like the pick

Hoth-Boy · 04-25-2009

Cushing is instantly adds a mean streak to the D.

**Vinny** · 04-25-2009

soooo, the SAM is resolved. He is a prototype and projects to be a NFL starter so I'm good.

MojoMan · 04-25-2009

The Texans needed to trade down and draft a CB with their first pick later in the first round.

However, if this is who they have picked, I will jump on the bandwagon.

Go Texans!

Texan JBZ · 04-25-2009

I wanted Jenkins, but Cushing was the next best pick since Jenkins was already off of the board. I know some were high on Matthews in Houston (especially because of his last name), but the truth is that Matthews is essentially a one year wonder. The Texans had more game film on Cushing to evalaute and I believe they made the right pick

Goatcheese · 04-25-2009

Atleast it wasn't Matthews.

I've said for a while that a trade down would most likely not be there. People seemed to think that because we did it last season that it would just as easily be there this season and that wasn't the case. Maclin was probably the most enticing piece that someone would have traded down for.
