O-line was a major problem last year that hindered anything we wanted to do. I like this.

I liked our starters on the left side when healthy. Duane Brown had lingering health issues and we had no running game. Right tackle was problematic all season. I guess Wade Smith is old so they needed some young blood.
 
Thank goodness. We need more offensive linemen, too. Just load the ****in' thing. Our OL was the biggest reason this team was a disaster last year.
 
dude is a player in the mold of Mike Munchak....physical punishing player with great feet. Gonna have a pocket to step into and a run blocker to boot
 
I like it. Always great to improve the O-Line, especially when it sucked last season. But what does the pick mean? Will we try him at RT? Or does that mean we want to play Quessenberry at RT?

D. Brown
Filo
Myers
Brooks
Quessenberry


That looks like a pretty good O-line. I am sure Foster is happy right now.
 
Too hard to type his surname. Hate the pick.

Seriously though, solid pick - big and mobile.

Time to find someone for him to protect now.

Beef up the trenches. That is always a good thing to me. Especially on the O line.

I agree completely. This strategy has me stoked.

I read up on this guy after Vinny mentioned him earlier today. I know if Vinny is big on someone, there is definitely something good going on. Liked what I read, and this really shows the mentality of this coaching staff to dominate the LOS.

My #Texans Projected OL LT: D. Brown LG:
Xavier Su'a Filo C: Chris Myers RG: Brandon
Brooks RT: David Quessenberry

Beasts on the front line.

yep I like if you can control the LOS you can put people away when the time comes.. just ball controlling drives and shove it down their throats

I logged in last night just to see who Vinny was high on.
 
Pick translation? We're not just going to beat you, we're going to maul your ass. Beef. Im thrilled.
 
I'm ok with the pick. You can always use help in the trenches. I think they are targeting Savage at qb somewhere in this draft.
 
Anyone knows if this kid could play RT? He played LT (not very good apparently), is said to be strong and quick with great hands and feet. Sounds like he could be a RT...

He can probably play G or RT. He stated that he is not sure where he will play for us just now.

Looks like his nickname is X

I would have preferred a trade down, but I love this pick. I'm glad to see the Texans putting an emphasis on adding some beef to this team and the importance of the O-line. This is the way this team should have been built from the beginning.

27th best player on ESPN draftscout and 2nd best OG leave him at LG and allow Quess to play RT.
 
I really like this pick. XSF is a heck of a player, and should be a long-term solution at guard. I guess he could play RT, but I think he has Pro Bowl potential at OG.

Maybe the Texans are getting it right this time.
 
Just upgraded two positions with one pick.

This has BOB written all over it. We can begin to see what kind of team O'Brien wants to put together and I'm all over it like white on rice.

If Kubes is still coach, that pick never happens imo.

Texans are probably trolling the entire and NFL, and don't even intend to draft a QB. A solid OL will benefit whoever ends up as our QB anyway

Really I don`t know if they should draft one. What is the point of drafting one, when you are not convinced he could be your franchise QB. Perhaps there is a QB like that left (Savage, Mettenberger, McCarron, Murray...), most likely there is not. Just try to either get one via trad (like Mallet) or go again next season. Too many good players at other positions left. So far we have 2 surefire starters, let`s get at least 2 more.
