Well, I heard Kubiak say that Dickerson is going to be a WR. That makes sense. I mean, it makes sense why he was picked in the 7th round. Apparently, everyone thought he was a liability as a TE because he is too small. Then, if you watched the Senior Bowl practices you saw that he was not a WR. Supposedly, Kubiak thinks that he can learn from Andre Johnson and become a player on the outside who can use his 4.5 speed and 43" vertical. I wish they would just get Scott Long who
ONLY has a 41.5" Vertical, but at least he has some experience at the position. Anyway, this is a project.
I also heard that Sharpton is our WILL Competition/MIKE backup. You've got to be kidding me. Kevin Bentley has been put on notice. I just can't see how Sharpton makes the team.
Graham is the guy that they are happy about to play TE. With all the knee injuries, we just needed to have a guy that can play in case OD, Dreesen, and Casey are out of commission. I've said my piece about Pitta, so I'll just leave it alone.
Earl Mitchell is basically Zgonina's replacement. They are happy with Cody and to be honest, so am I. I just would have liked to have had Okam's replacement drafted.
McManis is a Corner. Rick is happy with Wilson/Pollard as the starting Safety combo. Rick likes what he sees from Barber. McManis will compete with the other CBs on the roster. This could be bad news for Molden as he's the guy with his foot out the door. Also, Nolan can't play FS if he's injured, so he has to show some durability.
Rick is happy with our OL. Butler as the swing Tackle and the addition of Wade Smith means the line is set. Shelley Smith is a OC/OG guy who will compete with Studdard and White. My stomach hurts. I hope they keep an eye out. I hear that Alan Faneca may be looking for a job.
Anyway, the Texans organization is very happy with themselves. I'll admit that get a starting CB and Ben MF'ing Tate makes me pretty giddy. I'm going to be comparing Earl Mitchell to Geno Atkins for their entire football careers to see who is better.
