"why should we pass up the higher-rated (offensive) prospect?"-Rick Smith

[TexanJedi]

In today's Chron:

“You have to look at value,” he said. “If it’s our turn to pick and we have an offensive player rated a lot higher than a defensive player, why should we pass up the higher-rated prospect?

“The idea is to improve the team any way we can. We’ve filled some holes in free agency, but we have a lot more work to get done in the draft. We want to take the best players we can get.”

I wonder what happens if Maclin falls, but I think this would apply more so if (when) the Texans trade down.
