I did talk about him some time ago.
Thing is, there's a bunch of receivers out there that I also like.
Now that the first round is done with, there are still a ton of talents left, the Texans may not even have to draft a receiver in the second.

That's exactly what I thought.

[Playoffs]

Dale Moss signed with Packers.
Burris is a raider.
Pearcy signed with Falcons.
Mayo signed with Raiders.

Man, I wished the Texans had brought in Moss and Pearcy.

Also, Adrien Robinson was signed in the fourth by the Bengals.

Well, so far I'm only correct on the fact that the Texans didn't draft a receiver in the second round.

Whether the guys drafted in the third or later will develop into NFL talents remains to be seen.

point is, with evaluation grades all over the place, risk reward was greater in the 3rd & 4th rounds inside Texan War Room

Is it correct that Posey was the #10 receiver drafted and Martin the 19th?
21 receivers drafted in the first 4 rounds.
That seems like a lot, doesn't it?

If this guy can be had in the 6th as nfldraftscout indicate, I will be very happy.
I don't see Fleener when we have OD and Graham and Casey on the team.
There are a few TEs that intrigue, including Hanna (Okl) that Rey mentioned.
The guy from SMU, etc...

I see Robinson as a better value later for the Texans.

A couple years ago, I recommended Brandon Myers over Anthony Hill.
An excellent blocker that can give you a few important catches here and there.

Robinson is a bigger guy that is also more athletic.
He can block in line; he can block when going into motion across the backfield; he can block downfield (notice his speed and other measurables).
And he can do it with a "mean streak".

His catching ability was not utilized enough at Cincy.
You just need to watch a couple of his limited highlights to see that he can climb the ladder and he can adjust to the ball (again, refer back to his measurables for confirmation).

I think he can complement the guys we already have very well, for cheap (hopefully).

The words out of New York is that Robinson has been impressive.
Some even think that the Giants had striked gold.

In order to take Robinson (who went #32 in the 4th), the Texans would have had to forego either KM (#26) or Crick (#31).
It's a tough call.
