Texans new draft strategy:
Best special teams player available.
Initial Grades, gut feelings:
Brian Cushing, OLB, USC - B+
Connor Barwin, DE, Cincinnati - A
Antoine Caldwell, C/G, Alabama - B
Glover Quinn, CB, New Mexico - C
Anthony Hill, TE, North Carolina State - B-
James Casey, TE, Rice - B-
Brice McCain, CB, Utah - C
Troy Nolan, S, Arizona State - C
Overall Grade: Using how my school does gpa (A=4, B+=3.7 etc... First 2 picks worth 5 credit hours, next two worth 4, etc)
2.7566 = B-
B+ = 3.7 at your school? It's 3.25 at my school.
Granted, it's a highlight video. But, that's a lot of highlights. Seems like everytime he touched the ball, Nolan found the endzone.
Ah, good catch. A- is 3.7, B+ is 3.3
Thanks
I view this differently. I think they went BPA so to speak. Our draft really reminds me of a Belichik/New England kind of draft. I think Kubiak & Smith got players they really think highly of... maybe they weren't necessarily at positions of need, but they have a feeling these guys are going to be really good football players. As fans, that's all we can ask.
As for the later round guys- the DB's. It's easy for us to criticize them b/c we've never really even heard of them and definitely never watched them or studied them (maybe a few on here have seen them a little). The bottom line is that our Defensive Secondary is not a strength on this team and we've got to find answers there- this year and in the future. No clue what's going on with Dunta's future. We got some guys to develop and see if they stick. If one of them works out well in our secondary then that's is very very good for us.
We're all dissappointed we didn't get a RB. I think a lot of fans are thinking "meh" and are dissappointed b/c we didn't get "the player THEY wanted."
What school do you go to???

Maybe we can pick up Rashad Jennings as an UDFA.![]()
Boy some of you folks are wound up too tight in this stuff. Just sayin.
You mean that I can't be pissed because a team I hate almost as much as the Cowboys now have another big back to go along MJD, Torry Holt, and a new and improved offensive line?

no matter.
we will still sweep them
I sure hope so. I hate Jack Del Rio and his whole smug attitude.
Every team in the AFC South drafted at least one RB. Indy got Donald Brown, Titans got Javon Ringer, and Jags got (sigh) Rashad Jennings. The one team in the AFC South that needed another RB didn't draft one. Why? Indy has Addai, Titans have Lenwhale and Johnson, Jags have Mojo and Greg Jones. They didn't need another RB as bad as the Texans did. But somehow Smith and Kubiak try to outthink things and not draft a RB just because the two they were targeting got scooped up early in the 3rd round. It doesn't make sense.
There's some decent RBs available in FA now in Marlon Lucky and Ian Johnson. Hopefully they pick one of them up. If Smith decides to pick up another Bronco reject, I'll lose it. Enough with that crap already!
