Just a thought...

:howdy: Don't as I do do as I say . Vinny did trade out of the 13 spot . Having said that if one or two picks hit no one will remember . It does go against the BPA theory .

Well then may I ask why you drafted 2 defensive linemen in the mock draft?

Helloo, class, Bueller? Did he take a DL with the #13 pick--did he take one with a 1st round pick--no he waited until the value was right. That's the point--do the Texans need to draft someone on the DL, absolutely yes. Does that mean d@mn the torpedoes doesn't matter who is available at any position take the top DLmen at #13--no. At some point with 4 picks on the 1st day a DLmen that fits the 3-4 will be a good value pick--that is when one should and hopefully will be taken. In the mean time take the BPA that is in a position that isn't absolutely redundant (QB in the 1st at this point) or that the draft position will demand far to much money to justify (P, K, FB and one could argue S or TE (both of these can be exceptions--depends on the player) at #13).

But if they are no better than what we have already what is the use of drafting them just to draft them? :howdy:

You do understand that while there are 22 starters there are 53 players and every year teams (a) have injuries and (b) need to develop players for the future, right? Good teams may not start, i.e. they are not immediately better, any rookies from the draft--see the 3 out of 4 Patriots drafting Wilfork--but the depth they have allows continuity despite injuries and continuity when players either age or become too expensive.

So what is the problem with drafting Spears at #13. Why do you think it isn't a good value pick? That is what I want to know.

Nothing is wrong with it if the Texans have him graded as worth the pick. If however Pac Man, Justin Miller, DJ or Braylon Edwards is available along with Spears the Texans should decide who is the best player IMO not just who is the biggest need. If Spears is who they think is the best player or is tied with the others and the biggest need then hopefully he is their pick. But, if someone else is the better player but lessor need it is my opinion they should take the better player--in the long run it will pay off.
 
Pac-Man Jones
Antrel Rolle
Derrick Johnson
Shaune Merriman

I consider these 4 better prospects than Spears, and my opinion was based on the assumption that they would all be off the board by the time our pick came thus making Spears the best player available for us. I am stating this as my opinion, not as a fact. Maybe you misinterpreted it that way.

Brandon Everage?

Sorry, cranial flatulence--that was supposed to be Braylon Edwards. Odds are he doesn't make it to #13 but he is an example of a player who IMO if the choice came down to him or Spears you take the lessor need position and pick Edwards. AJ and Edwards would be a sick team.
 
I hope we take the BPA's in the many areas that could use upgrades:
NT, ILB, DE, SS, CB, OLT, OG, C, TE, HB, WR

....might be easier to list what we don't need but at least we're on target
for the 5 year plan :hairpull:
 
My point is that we have SO MANY areas that could use upgrading, that we might as well go for the BPA (with a few noted exceptions like QB) if possible. I don't think we have any majorly weak areas that require us to HAVE TO draft for a particular position though.

dont agree the DL needs to be upgraded or atleast get some depth in the position !
 
:howdy: There are positions like CB that takes alot of natural ability to be able to gaurd a wideout for five seconds . At 13 you can get one that makes him the BPA . You can draft one in the sixth rd. and if your pass rush is good enough it will work . Its the bird in the hand theory except theres no garantees the bird in the hands going to live .

Why do we need an upgrade at SS? Is there someone in the draft that you think would come in from day one and be an instant upgrade over Glenn Earl? IMO he is just as good as Thomas Davis, who is considered to be the best SS prospect available...

I'm just curious to know why so many people think we need a new SS...
 
:howdy: It seems people latch on to names without putting it to the big picture . I do not believe safety is a need . Its good to have depth and if you see a safety in the 5th and hes a special teams demon take him . I think the first two picks should be value positions . I don't know if thats a term but it is now . In three years maybe the Texans are SB contenders and can pick a safety or TE in the 1st round but right now their building .
I also think folks get sentimental over a player and raise his value . Vinny liked Baas C/ G Mich. but knew he'd be their later in the draft so he got his player and a 2nd rd. pick via trade but look at the guys still there on the board you make the call .
