For the Texans sake, I hope he is every bit as good as they have been hyping him up to be.

I don't know about that...I think Dreesen has been severely underappreciated by the Texans fans. I don't think he will ever go to any pro-bowls, but he's got good hands, seems to run good routes, and is WAY ahead of Casey in the blocking game right now.
Casey will likely make some big plays, but I would guess that Dreesen still sees the majority of the action...at least for the first few weeks.

I think it's way to early to say that Hill was a wasted pick.
I think Hill was brought in to fill the blocking TE role that Bruener had. Casey was just a case of a guy who the Texans had a decent grade on who lasted much longer than they were expecting. They obviously felt like Hill filled a bigger hole for them or they wouldn't have passed on Casey to take him. I would guess that Casey was the highest graded player on the board by far. I think the reason Casey has been active more is that he has been better on special teams...and Kubiak's realized that we were going to be a pass first team so the special team factor combined with the fact that it doesn't llok like we are going to be pounding the ball out of 3 TE sets often means Casey has seen more of the field.
