I'd love to see them trade down because this is a deep draft and the team needs so much but if BOB loves a guy at #1 then I love him too.

Like you, I was done with the Kubiak Texans very early on last season. I'm not sure what kind of coach O'Brien will be, but see him as a guy on the edge of change, not stuck with a system that worked 15 years ago.

I'm not sold on this years draft crop of QBs, and also not sold on Clowney's fit with Crennel's defense. That said, based on current trends in the NFL, the base defense will only be played 20% of the plays, and how does an offense defend against Watt, and Clowney, plus the some of the other talent on the team. I think it will be fun to watch a defense with those two together.

I could also go for a trade down, grabbing a Mack(unlikely to be there) or Matthews at 1-6.

I wish the draft were here already. Jez.........
