Some ability to spend money is still there too... there is $8.5 million in JJoseph's base just dying to be addressed. And I can't imagine the Texans believe that Garrett Graham will play up to the $3 million base he still has. Considering the Ravens just lost Owen Daniels, and considering that Kubiak might want someone there for when Daniels need a breather, he has to have some market value as a late day pick.
Ideally, the team addresses needs at OLB, DT, WR, and ILB (& center?) before the draft so they can just go after value with every pick. They're in a good spot still to accomplish these goals. Way better position than they were in a year ago.
