Not sure I like Richard Marshall quite that high, if he somehow fell to #65/66 then I'm fine with getting him, but not overly liking him at #33.
Hill, Williams, Cromartie & Youboty will all be long gone. the next three corners off the board will be Jennings, Marshall & Joseph. I'll bet the Texans take one of them, who ever is graded out the highest on their board. I choose Richard Marshall because of his toughness & run support. Jennings reminds me alot of former Hurricane Phillip Buchanon, while I like Joseph he lacks experience and lost a season due to a broken foot.

Whitworth would be an interesting pick, he's pretty solid and is strong but would probably need to lose a little weight and add some quickness for our scheme. .
Andrew is a player I liked before the season, he is tough, strong, smart & possess great leadership with a nasty streak. no doubt his conditioning will be improved once he gets into the Texans training facilities & NFL camp, but don't knock his frame and size for his position RT he is near ideal, that goes for any system in the NFL, not to mention he can play some LT if he has to due to injury.

Charles Spencer probably won't fall that far, plus at 352 lbs. he's much larger than ideal for our system. He carries his weight a lot better than Jean-Gilles and is currently more athletic than him, but he still isn't a real good fit for our scheme. I'd prefer Chris Chester at #98. .
there is an outside chance he is still there, most likey your right but he does have a 2nd/3rd rd. grade.

Gerris Wilkinson likely won't last that long, but I have no problem with us getting him that late..
the inside linebacking group is weak, its hard to say who will be there who best fits the Texans system. I choose Wilkerson because of his coverage skills, something the Texans lack. if they love this guy and one of the other prospects are gone in the 3rd they may take a hard look there.

If Marques Colston somehow falls to the 6th round and we got him there then I would have to consider that one of the major steals of the draft.
I've heard a little about Jason Hatcher and don't have much of a strong opinion one way or the other, but with the #251 pick you can't expect much or complain much about it anyways.
these are two sleepers for sure that lack big game time experience but have ideal measureables for their positions. Hatcher from Grambling ran something like a 4.82 40 @ 284 lbs and is almost 6070. which is as you well know pretty darn close to your man Mario Williams (6070 4.66 40 295lbs). If Colston is gone (maybe 4th rd.) and Hatcher is there @ 170 take a look at him.
then go with another Grambling prospect QB Bruce Eugene, this guy is thick and has a strong arm @ 6002 280 lbs. w/251
