That could be true, but without knowing how the staff really feels about him there's no way to know. It is possible that they had him with a first round grade and as someone who they felt could provide an immediate impact. If that's the case they did a great job picking up the extra picks and still getting him. It remains to be seen if it was the right pick. I'm sure that's the story the Texans will give, and I think as a fan that is what you hoped happened.

I guess my point is if the Texans liked this guy and couldn't make a trade (up or down) then it's no big deal if they "reached" according to some people at 26.
