I'm thinking comp for anyone not named Watt or WilforkMore comp for Nix IMO
Projecting the first pick to start right corner and move KJ to slot.For comparison purposes...
hmmm...
Frank Gore is "average"?
And back to our guys, why do they have Kareem in the slot and not at RCB??

Way-Too-Early Predictions For The Texans 53 Man Roster
Brett Kollmann|BRB
With OTAs done with and nothing but a mandatory three day minicamp standing between us and actual training camp, I decided to go through the complete Texans depth chart on Ourlads to try and piece together a way-too-early projection for the final 53 man roster. Please note that these predictions will almost certainly be changed several times in the lead up to Houston’s week one showdown with the Chiefs.
Offense
QB: Ryan Mallett, Brian Hoyer, Tom Savage
RB: Arian Foster, Alfred Blue, Chris Polk
WR: DeAndre Hopkins, Cecil Shorts, Nate Washington, Jaelen Strong, Damaris Johnson, Keith Mumphery
TE: Garrett Graham, C.J. Fiedorowicz, Ryan Griffin
FB: Jay Prosch
LT: Duane Brown, Will Yeatman
LG: Xavier Su’a-Filo, David Quessenberry
C: Ben Jones
RG: Brandon Brooks
RT: Derek NewtonDefense
DE: J.J. Watt, Jared Crick, Christian Covington, Jeoffrey PaganFirst things first, yes, I believe that Keshawn Martin will not make this team in 2015. Ironically enough, it is likely that his roster spot will be taken by fellow former Spartan Keith Mumphery, who has made a lot of positive impressions throughout this summer as a rookie. In addition, I believe that Andre Hal’s conversion to safety should stick long term considering how deep the team is at cornerback, how productive Hal was as a gunner on special teams, and how useful it is to have a safety that can drop down into the slot and cover receivers man to man. If I had to guess, he will likely be Rahim Moore’s primary backup.
NT: Vince Wilfork, Louis Nix III
SOLB: Whitney Mercilus, John Simon
ILB: Brian Cushing, Mike Mohamed, Benardrick McKinney, Akeem Dent, Jeff Tarpinian, Justin Tuggle
WOLB: Jadeveon Clowney, Lynden Trail, Jason Ankrah
CB: Johnathan Joseph, Kareem Jackson, Kevin Johnson, A.J. Bouye, Darryl Morris, Charles James
SS: Eddie Pleasant, Reshard Cliett, Stevie Brown
FS: Rahim Moore, Andre Hal, Lonnie Ballentine
I had a lot of trouble deciding on who will be the 53rd man on the roster, but eventually I settled on Lynden Trail as a long, athletic project at outside linebacker who can probably contribute immediately on special teams early in his career. Considering his physical potential, do not be surprised if the team keeps him around as a rotational option while Jadeveon Clowney continues recovering from microfracture surgery.
Bigger, stronger, faster than the guy I think he was drafted to replace.Cliett listed as SS, agree that is very possible. He's tweener.

You have a good list but you're forgetting...
My sources tell me Watt is hoping Blue Bell get back in outlets soon as his mother wants to do another commercial.I think Brett's got it right! Going for it on every 4th down, and 2pt conversions after every TD! An anonymous source informed me that JJ Watt has been secretly practicing kickoffs up in his Wisconsin Cabin of Solitude!
Offensive Guard
This is why I worry about our line.(4)
Xavier Su’a-Filo (1/13), Brandon Brooks (30/36), Cody White (0/1), Will Yeatman (2/15)
Su’a-Filo gets to prove why he was a high pick in 2014, while it is a contract year for Brooks in 2015. White gives versatility to play both guard and center while Yeatman gives that for the guard and tackle spots. Both White and Yeatman will have to show up during camp and preseason to prevent the Texans from looking for upgrades.
Center (1)
Ben Jones (27/48)
A big season for the fourth year player, Jones returns to his college position. Giving the Texans more weight at the position than previous seasons, Jones is the key for the offensive line in 2015.
SOTT: TEXANS "REAL" EARLY BIRD 53-MAN ROSTER
The offseason is in full swing and the Houston Texans are off until late July. With rookie mini-camp, OTAs, and mandatory mini camp in the books, we decided to give a very loose prediction on the potential 53-man roster for the Texans.
Early 53-Man Prediction
(Games Started/Games)
Quarterbacks (3)
Ryan Mallett (2/7), Brian Hoyer (17/32), Tom Savage (2/0)
The starting quarterback is still to be decided out of this group but this should be the personnel heading to week one, barring injury. Despite a revamped quarterback room, there are only 19 combined starts from the potential starters.
Running Backs (4)
Arian Foster (64/72), Alfred Blue (3/16), Jonathan Grimes (3/29), Jay Prosch (5/16)
This group will be set with the exception of the third back behind Foster and Blue. Chris Polk and Kenny Hilliard will push Grimes for that spot, but at the moment, Grimes holds the spot with his experience and ability to play special teams.
Wide Receiver (6)
DeAndre Hopkins (32/32), Nate Washington (94/145), Cecil Shorts III (34/50), Keshawn Martin (2/48), Jaelen Strong (R), Keith Mumphery (R)
The top three will be the main targets heading into the season but the wild card is Keshawn Martin. The reasons are simple: his ability to return kicks and punts, along with the ability to play inside and outside wide receiver, give the Texans an insurance policy for the two rookies Mumphery and Strong. Martin’s versatility keeps him in the discussion for the time being.
Tight Ends (3)
Garrett Graham (29/52), C.J. Fiedorowicz (8/15), Ryan Griffin (10/31)
The same group returns and the needle points up for the position group after a disappointing 2014 season. The reason why is because the current group of quarterbacks have grown to understand that this position is vital for this offense.
Offensive Tackle (3)
Duane Brown (106/106), Derek Newton (46/60), Jeff Adams (0/2)
Once unclear about how Newton would pan out, the Texans appear to have developed one of the strongest starting groups of tackles in the NFL. Adams is a young swing tackle who will get plenty of work during camp and preseason to get him ready for the season.
Offensive Guard (4)
Xavier Su’a-Filo (1/13), Brandon Brooks (30/36), Cody White (0/1), Will Yeatman (2/15)
Su’a-Filo gets to prove why he was a high pick in 2014, while it is a contract year for Brooks in 2015. White gives versatility to play both guard and center while Yeatman gives that for the guard and tackle spots. Both White and Yeatman will have to show up during camp and preseason to prevent the Texans from looking for upgrades.
Center (1)
Ben Jones (27/48)
A big season for the fourth year player, Jones returns to his college position. Giving the Texans more weight at the position than previous seasons, Jones is the key for the offensive line in 2015.
Defensive End (4)
J.J. Watt (64/64), Jared Crick (16/47), Christian Covington (R), Jeoffrey Pagan (0/16)
A strength of the team when added to the nose tackles, the defense has a group of ends which can play the two gapping system of Romeo Crennel’s 3-4 defense. Then are able to create pass rushing looks with Watt and Crick. Covington appears to be the wild card at the position, so look for him to move up and down the line.
Nose Tackle (2)
Vince Wilfork (148/158), Louis Nix (0/0)
Wilfork is a solid upgrade at the position and can do much more than just be a base defensive nose tackle. Nix will get some run on defense, which is important for the future of the position.
Outside Linebacker (4)
Whitney Mercilus (33/47), John Simon (0/18), Jadeveon Clowney (2/4), Lynden Trail (R)
This will be an interesting storyline to watch as training camp progresses. With the exception of Mercilus, the experience at outside linebacker is light on the field. The Texans will slowly bring along Clowney, while Simon will have to make a big jump this season as the penciled in starter. Trail will give the defense the length and speed it needs at this position, but his spots will be selected carefully.
Inside Linebacker (5)
Brian Cushing (70/70), Mike Mohamed (2/25), Akeem Dent (27/62), Benardrick McKinney(R), Reshard Cliett (R)
The position group received a youth infusion over the offseason with McKinney and Cliett. Expect the inside linebackers to have a three- to four-player rotation depending the offensive personnel they face. Cushing coming back healthy is a solid plus for the linebackers and defense.
Cornerback (6)
Johnathan Joseph (118/127), Kareem Jackson (71/74), Kevin Johnson (R), A.J. Bouye (6/20), Darryl Morris (1/24), Jumal Rolle (0/10)
Cornerback could easily be the strongest group on the team and, with the Texans valuing the position so highly, it has never had better personnel. There are potentially five players on the depth chart who could start on other NFL teams, which is a testament to the talent the team has found.
Safety (5)
Rahim Moore (48/57), Stevie Brown (20/55), Andre Hal (0/14), Lonnie Ballentine (0/0), Eddie Pleasant (1/32)
Moore and Brown headline the group while Hal is the sleeper who finds himself on the field if everything goes right for him during training camp. Pleasant stays on as one of the Texans top special teams players.
Specialty (3)
Shane Lechler (238), Randy Bullock (32), Jon Weeks (80)
This is a solid group who will continue for their third year together. Bullock made a strong jump last year, becoming one of the most accurate long distance kickers in the game.
On the Bubble
- Chris Polk- Potential return candidate, Texans showed last season they will take five running backs if needed. Polk will be in a battle with Martin for the return duties when camp arrives.
Justin Tuggle- Special teams ace who made the position change to inside linebacker last season. Tuggle will have to leap frog others to get back on the 53-man roster and he will have to show he can handle inside linebacker duties. Practice squad eligible.
- Chad Slade (R)- Don’t forget the name of the Auburn rookie offensive guard. The NFL is running short on offensive lineman and, with Slade’s background at Auburn and plenty of games played, his value could be too much to pass up for a young and developing player. Practice squad eligible.
- Anthony Denham- The second-year tight end is going to have to beat out Garrett Graham or show he can help on special teams. The talent it there but the roster spots are at a premium. Practice squad eligible.
- Jason Ankrah- Big and strong edge-setting edge player. Pass rushing is what the Texans need because the defense is playing more out of their nickel and dime sets than their base set. Practice squad eligible.
- Kenny Hilliard (R)- Will have to show he can handle the football and be the first and second down back that Bill O’Brien called him coming out of LSU. Will have to win his job by showing he can handle special teams. Practice squad eligible.
- Max Bullough- The jump is evident for this year, but the inside linebacker group is a packed house. It will be a dog-fight for some of the final spots at the position. Practice squad eligible.
This is why I worry about our line.
The one thing which jumped out at me is this list has only 8 offensive linemen for the 5 positions. I think we carry 9 minimum. Yeatman will be carried as a tackle and the ninth player will be Greg Mancz, carried as a C but who also plays G.SOTT: TEXANS "REAL" EARLY BIRD 53-MAN ROSTER

Interesting. None of these players may get off their respective lists by the beginning of the season. Only time will tell. But................Jayson Braddock @JaysonBraddock
Texans place David Quessenberry on Non-Football Illness list & Alan Bonner on Non-Football injury list to start camp.
Texans place Jadeveon Clowney & Akeem Dent on Active / PUP list
Dent showed up to OTAs in a walking boot. No details on the injury.
Just a side commentary re. Q. The very end of February of this month, it was announced that Q was in remission. However, for the condition that he is fighting, he will be undergoing a lower dose of chemotherapy over the 30 months following remission in order to attempt to prevent recurrence. This lower dose treatment protocol involved still lends Q to a significant risk of lowered immunity and risk of increased bleeding. This is not to even mention that such a protocol is bound to lead to quicker fatigue, which in itself would place him at increased risk for injury. As a football player, trauma to the body is an expected. What may even be considered a minor trauma to a "normal" player could potentially turn into a devastating event for a chemo maintenance patient. This is why I am hoping that this is more a Texans attempt on-the-surface to allow Q to live out at least part of his dream short of live bullet play. If he remains in remission and is able to attain and maintain a football-ready in-shape body and still has the desire to return in September of 2017 (after the completion of his chemo course), and there is a market for a 27-year-old OG/OT, then I would not have a problem with it.
Doc, I guess this is the question I have about "a football-ready in-shape body" for "Q." Isn't it harder for someone on chemo, even at a lower dose, to keep on weight, let alone muscle mass for NFL Football?
Reminding you all that Roddy McDowall really was. ... I have a hypothesis. I think most if not all of us get neoplastic cells from time to time, but our immune system is able to eliminate them before they become detectable. That would explain why surgeons always say they think they got all of an operable tumor, but it always comes back, sometimes in another place. The patient's immune system has lost its ability to put down that type of cancer. It would also explain why you can't transplant human tumor.It would depend on which chemotherapeutic(s) the patient is on..............some stimulate weight gain, others weight loss. Muscle mass though is usually decreased. At low dose, there is likelihood of this being much less affected.
To be honest some low dose chemos have been shown to stimulate some normal cells, while decreasing growth in cancerous cells. The problem lies in that at low dose, effect on potential cancerous cells is also low...........and there are always side effects that negatively affects one or more of a patient's organs (such as kidneys, liver, etc.), not only from long term low dose chemo, but many times as a lasting (sometimes permanent) effect of the previous high dose regimen.
Neild was drafted in 2011. He missed the entire 2012 campaign due to surgery for a torn right ACL he suffered in training camp. He returned in 2013 but sustained a calf injury and sat out Weeks 5-11, then played very limited backup in the final games. Then comes 2014, and he required surgery to repair a torn left AC in the last preseason game.PDS @PatDStat
Chris Neild spend time with the Washington Redskins from 2011-2014. 6-2 and 328 lbs. nose tackle. Played at West Virgina. #Texans
That leaves Aaron Adams, Jeff Adams, Matt Feiler, Kendall Lamm, Joseph Treadwell, Bryan Witzmann. The best of this lot is Jeff Adams, who was rated 17 out of 92 tackles in his draft class. Matt Feiler is short armed and had good production in college. He was rated as a 7th/PFA, but is better suited for OG. Rookie Kendall Lamm was rated 24/88 and has a decent write-up for a projected 7th/PFA. I couldn't find anything on the others.The #Texans have released OT Will Yeatman.

I wonder if signing Chris Neild is O'Briens way of sending a message to Louis Nix, just a training camp body, or serious roster depth acquisition? Releasing Yeatman makes me worry even more that we've got zero depth on the O-line, one injury on the O-line and we're screwed. I'm hoping that we pick up some O-line depth when training camp cuts start being made

I suspect, like most players signed as FAs or in the lower rounds, we hope to find a gem without expecting to. Anyone who makes the final roster is a bonus and anyone who plays significant minutes or starts is a BIG bonus.Camp body, a guy to take some reps off Vince. Fatty fat DTs get tired easily.
I think it's generally forgotten, because it's seldom mentioned, but Derek Newton was drafted in the 7th.I suspect, like most players signed as FAs or in the lower rounds, we hope to find a gem without expecting to.
