I'm sure that's the story the Texans will give, and I think as a fan that is what you hoped happened.
I guess my point is if the Texans liked this guy and couldn't make a trade (up or down) then it's no big deal if they "reached" according to some people at 26.

i agree, a "reach" is a relative term. everything i heard said that brown would have most likely been the next LT taken. if he is the last guy on the board who you though could do what you needed, he was the guy you wanted, and you thought he might not be there if you dropped back again then you take him.
i am certain that if the demaco would have been taken at #9 instead of 33, there would have been a lot of people who would have laeled it a reach. well, i am guessing there are a numebr of teams who would love to have had him for the 8-12 pick in that draft.
