Big assumption and the sort of thing that people like us who are not privy to the internal plans/strategy within the Texans organizations can only guess about. My own personal theory is that all the pre-draft rumors about the Texans using their top pick on Mizzou pass-rusher Aldon Smith were for real,
leaving one to further speculate what the Texans planned to do with Mario in that scenario ? The obvious conclusion to draw was that he would remain a downlineman, but knowing he might react unfavorably to such a plan for him to be a 3-4 DE, perhaps they had preliminary discussions with a couple of teams about trading him when the lockout was concluded and a new CBA was in place ?
