If you could change one thing about the draft.....

I know for myself I never thought Chris Taylor was the answer at RB, but I do think Arian Foster is close to possibly being the RB of future for Texans.

Might you still find a third RB in upcoming draft to work with Foster, Slayton and ?, sure, always someone better could occur if it is BPA.

and one never knows, with injuries, other issues that might occur what is best after 2-3,5 years.

Ya, I think this scenario is probably what we'll see. C Brown is gone and if a RB is drafted, Moats is immediately on the bubble. Very well could start 2010 with:

Slaton
Foster
drafted RB

on the 53.

I'll admit I was disappointed we took Connor Barwin over Michael Johnson, as a pass rushing DE. The jury is still out, but Barwin does have a very slight edge, with one additional tackle and an extra 1.5 sacks:

Barwin: http://espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12449
Johnson: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/player...playerId=12436

I'll be interested to see how year 2 turns out for these players.

The Chrons John McClain said on 610 AM radio that the Texans have Barwin scheduled to get up to the 270 lb range for 2010, presumably to be big enough to play DE in run defense situations along with passing downs. Lets hope this strategy doen't have the same results as it did when they had Steve Slayton bulk-up for 2009 in his first offseason.

Yeah, I'm waiting to see how Everette Brown turns out too.
