Might be a good chance Weaver sticks around. The way I see it, he could be put in a rotation with "the new guy" with the new guy getting the majority of the snaps. Or perhaps Weaver remains the starter while the new guy learns the NFL via OJT as the backup. However, if this new DE is a 1st rounder, I bet he gets thrown into the fire... Weaver would be an awful expensive backup, then. And what do you do about effort guys like Bulman and Cochran? Less snaps for them? Wouldn't hurt to have them on hand in case of injury to one of the front line guys....
I think it's a given that the Texans are going to pick up a new DE in the draft but what round, who knows?...
