Draft Eve, what are you thinking on the first pick now that all the info is out?

Some scout saw him limp around in a game last year while he was injured and then went back and looked at his 40 time at the combine... That's how someone arrives at that conclusion.
As fans, we've watched him play every week for 3 years now. I think it is safe to assume that Demeco would do just fine on the outside. He has been good in the open field and has only appeared slow when he's been banged up. I haven't always been happy with his downfield coverage but I expect improvement this year with the new staff.
And, I think Vinny and I agree on this, if the weakness of our defense is that our LBs can be beaten by the pass on running downs, I'm thinking we can live with that!

What I would like is trade back, and draft BPA. Jenkins would be good if there at 15. If we have to take a LB at 15 Rey better than Matthews or Cushing. I will probably be OK with anyone except Cushing or Wells at 15. Would be happy with a RB with 1st round. Everyone is talking compliment to Slaton. Slaton was to be the compliment back originally and I think that is the way it needs to be now. I just don't think Slaton can take the pounding. Don't make Slaton the workhorse back. At least get equal or better back to carry load. Moreno or D. Brown good, really not high on Wells (injuries). I guess you can tell I don't like injury prone players.
Trade back and get extra picks again is what I hope happens if Jenkins gone at 15. Under no circumstances do I want to tradeup (Babins). The draft is a crapshoot , the more good chances the better. Again just my opinion. P.S. I do trust that Smith/Kubiak will make the right decision vs previous id***s.

OTA later. since I had shut it down draft eve (feeling of impending doom) I've since come to the realization the combination of Cushing/Barwin is going to be more productive than any one, highly touted defensive impact player available in the 09 draft which was afterall their priority need.
- Texans are now quicker
- more athletic
- & physical
- dynamic pass rush capability
- improved run defense
- simplified learning curve
- assigned specific resposibilities

Going into training camp Brian Cushing is your Houston Texans starting SAM. impact player, looking solid in practice, extra style points for going Mohawk. the pick looks like the absoulte best it could be given team needs. also no news on any kind of nagging injurys during TC, all systems go up to this point. A
Connor Barwin, is athletic & quick as advertised. work in progress, shows flashes which in pass rushing situations, special teams surely he contributes as a rookie & develops into a dynamic defensive playmaker . B
