I guess we kind of learned a lesson from that, and starting with the second round we started to be a participant in the trade up/down contest. Other than forseeing the events of the first round, I think we did an excellent job. Thus my kudos to Rick and Gary.

My question is come September how many TE's can you have on the roster and how many can be active on game day? IMO Owen is back, Dreessen is now on notice, Casey has to make the sophomore leap most do, no way they cut a fourth round pick, so what about Hill? Is he a bust already? Are they going to admit after one season they should have taken Casey with the 122nd pick or how about they should have taken Johnny Knox like I was advocating.

The Texans have some the best TEs in the league, I challenge you to find a better group, but we have a FS hole, a DT hole, a middle of the OL hole that is much bigger.

If you have to have bodies for mini-camp and OTAs then get street FA veterans and some UDFA that can get you through until the injured guys are ready. The way this is working out we are either cutting a 4th round pick or a 4th round pick from last year and/or a solid veteran who is also your long snapper.

Right now it appears that PUP is going to be used on a couple TEs.
