Draft Wrap-up

[Joshua]

What is draft talk if not an opportunity to make halfass guesses and proudly proclaim today how good (or bad) the Texans did even though no definitive statements can be made for at least a couple of years? Therefore, I thought I would start a thread to recap the draft since there really wasn't one.

Having said that, I'm not a terribly close follower of college football so I'm relying primarily on others to tell me their thoughts on the draft class. My initial thoughts are that our first 3 picks were obvious positions of need so they made sense. Here's hoping they pan out. I also liked the wheeling and dealing we were able to do to grab some extra picks. If I have a complaint, it's not about who we drafted but about the position we put ourselves in going into the draft. We basically had to take a CB and RB in the first 2 rounds. Luckily, the board worked out pretty well for us, but I hate being so needy at a position that our draftboard is driven by this rather than BPA. While it's not my money so it's pretty easy to spend, if we had signed, say, Thomas Jones and maybe either franchised Dunta or signed Bodden, seems like we would have been able to go into the draft without any "must-have" positions. This would have freed us up to take Dan Williams in the 1st and hopefully solve the interior of our DL as well as take a G or C in the second to solidfy that as well.
