oh, we traded down with Washington.

sounds like we swapped 4ths, got two fifths, gave up a sixth, .. sounds like a fair deal for us

Texans get late 4th and two 5th rounders..... Thank you, Shannies...

Yes, gave up a 6th seems to be the case. NFLN didn't report this....

So, the Texans have left (at present):

4. #30
5. #13, #21
6. n/a
7. #11, #51

Back to 8 picks total....

[Arky]

[Roy P]

CB Rashad Carmichael Va Tech 5'10" 182 4.38

Small/Fast and tough. Not a bad pick

[Roy P]

Explosive, rangy athlete with nice acceleration and top-end speed. Lanky and slender, but isn't afraid to go for the big hit. Fearless tackler willing to engage bigger backs and receivers head-on. Gets his head around in coverage and adjusts his body nicely to the ball in the air. Has a second gear that allows him to correctively close gaps between himself and receivers who have gained separation. Light-footed, smooth backpedal maintaining still head and upper body. Displays good awareness of both the quarterback's eyes and receiver location when playing off in zone coverage. Gets his hands up quickly to make plays on balls that he may get his head around late on. Keeps his eyes in the backfield and shows good zone discipline when defending the run.

Looks like the new Wade-D is under no obligation to cover-up the mess of crap in the Texans back-end, i.e., another rousing vote of no-confidance for Kareem & Co. And you know we are almost surely gonna also add a FA CB to the mix.
