Likely best to go best player at need first 3 or four rounds.

likely bpa or even high risk/reward in last few rounds,

And Texans have lots of needs especially on defense.

should be only fun we have for a while watching the draft.

Think about the M.Schaub trade... we gave up our second round pick in '07 and '08. According to the draft value chart, we could have countered with:

Schaub and 3rd round pick for Texans #8 overall in '07.... and, Atlanta would've jumped all over it!

Instead of Schaub and A. Okoye... We could have Schaub, plus 2 more 2nd round picks and a 3rd round pick. How much better would we be?
