Very interesting pick by Ricky & Billy ?
I dunno, he does look much more like a 3-4 edge guy than an ILB (in either a 3-4 or 4-3). Could the Texans have viewed this guy as a poor mans Bud Dupree, somebody who RAC & Vrab could coach up to play over and cover the TE in passing downs and therefor be the SOLB they wanted and needed
in their defense ? That would have given them the opportunity to leave Dupree on the Board @ 16, taken Johnson (the BPA), and then made a beeline for Bernard in the 2nd round. But this is an intriguing pick and it will be interesting to see how the Texans use him ?
