Here's the players I see as key targets for the Texans post-draft, add more as you see fit:

Dashon Goldson** FS (49ers) - A great match with the current CBA difficulties as he has already been tutored by new Texans DB coach, Vance Joseph, and is familiar with the system. Brings a solid veteran presence to the position and should be reasonably priced after a slight downturn in 2010 (following an excellent 2009.)

Manny Lawson** OLB (49ers) - Sticking with the 49ers, I'd like to see Lawson brought on in as part of a rotation, backup, or replacement if Barwin has an injury setback. Only one year with 5+ sacks, should keep his cost reasonable. He also teams back-up with his college counterpart, Mario Williams.

Any of the following CBs: Josh Wilson**, Johnathan Joseph**, Brent Grimes**, Antonio Cromartie - I know I know, I want Nnmandi too. But I don't see anyone convincing Bob McNair to give the largest DB contract to a 30-year-old CB. The next level down will still be expensive, but they have youth on their side. I also don't think the Steelers let Ike Taylor go.

**Requires a CBA agreement or other decision that allows FA to occur after four seasons.
