Players to watch for on last day

I will admit that I don't follow College football enough to know how good any of these players really are, but I thought I would look at some of the top rated players still out there, and the ones that look interesting to me, as possible Texans draft picks.

Marcus Canon: Top rated OL prospect (1st rounder) who is dropping due to a cancer diagnosis (chances are he can beat it, but he's now doing chemo). He doesn't seem to fit a ZBS, and would need to move inside. But, if the Texans were willing to wait, and he learned the system, he could be a steal. I know OL is not a big need for Houston, but I think it's good to draft OL every year, and give them time to develop.

Edmond Gates: WR prospect. Mainly like him since he's from my alma mater, Abilene Christian University, but I do think we could use a WR.

Clint Boling: OG prospect. Seems well suited for a Zone system. Has played Tackle and even TE.

Sam Acho: I expect Longhorn fans know whether he'd be a good OLB prospect. Even with Reed, it seems we could use another?


Who else should I be looking at?
 
There are some solid choices and some gambles in no particular order players I like:

S Ahmad black
Wr Edmund gates
Wr Terence toliver
Rb jacquiz Roger
Wr/rb/kr Taiwan jones
Nt jerrell Powell
Nt Ian Williams
Ilb Colin McCarthy
Ilb mark herzilich
Ilb Casey Matthews
Wr Dwayne Harris
Wr Dane sanzenbacher
 
I can't believe Chris Carter is still available. I want him in 9 picks for backup ILB/OLB. I also like Ricky Elmore and Mikaele however you spell it. LB and NT respectively from Arizona. Reed's teammates. If chris neild is from west Virginia could be a good pick. Is Shiloh Keo still available at Ss?

I like Chris Carter as well & would be perfectly happy if we take him in the 4th. But, my boy Quinton Carter (SS/FS) is still on the board & taking him in the 4th would make me just as happy as you were when they took Watt. :hurrah:
 
I'd love to see us add an Iowa Hawkeye here... particularly Ricky Stanzi with our 4th round pick.

It would be a perfect situation for Stanzi to come into, the guy has starter potential with proper development. We aren't keeping Leinart and Orlovski isn't the answer. We need to get a solid QB to develop. He's got all the tools to run this offense and unlike Schaub, he has some speed for the bootleg.
 
I think we should go DB or pass rusher again.

Sam Acho
Davon House
Quinton Carter
Chris Carter
DeAndre McDaniel
Deunta Williams
