1. Misdirection. I'm not asking for a lot, but with the DEs that could be available in the first round, even if the Texans aren't interested, why can't they at least 'admire' them?
2. Yes, I know they spent millions signing Smith this offseason, but I see him moving inside on passing downs with Mario shifting to LDE. Leaves open a big need for a situational pass rusher.
While a situational RDE is not a full-time starter, I think the right player added there could have a huge impact, and "impact" is the key word being tossed around here by McNair and Kubiak.
Generally speaking, sack artists are more desirable in the first round than outside LBs, where even really good ones somehow seem to slip to the second and third rounds.
