In his blog, John McClain did his annual interview with Bob McNair (http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans/2013/01/mcclain-qa-with-bob-mcnair/). In it McNair is pretty candid. I wanted to focus on part of the interview here.
Q: What do you think the team needs?
A: We need another playmaker (at receiver). We want more speed at receiver. Andre (Johnson) had a great year, but we can’t expect him to carry the load for all the receivers. If we say we’re going to run the ball better, we need to make sure we’ve got depth in our offensive line. We need more depth at linebacker. We can always use another cornerback. We don’t have a glaring weakness. We’ve got a good team, and we’re going to keep building on it.
With McNair's stated needs, added to this weeks Senior Bowl, I wanted to add a possible mock:
27 Zach Ertz TE Stanford 6' 6" 245
57 Da'Rick Rogers* WR Tennessee Tech 6' 3" 215
89 Nico Johnson ILB Alabama 6' 3" 238
121 Jordan Hill DT Penn State 6' 1" 297
153 Zeke Motta FS Notre Dame 6-2 215
185 Marquise Goodwin WR Texas 5-09 179
217 Bruce Taylor ILB Virginia Tech 6-1 234
I see the Texans using low end FAs to fill the depth at OL.
