I think it was meant as we would have been happy with any of these four, not we got stuck with left-overs towards Brown. Now with the other three going higher than Brown the only logical assumption is that he was the lowest rated on their board, but it's not like the Texans have never gone against the grain.

It really doesn't matter what the fans think, and if Brown seems like he was insulted then I'm sure the Texans are smart enough to show him their draft board where he was ranked the highest....doctored if necessary.

dude was probably excited to make it into the first round. I'm sure he's loving the Texans for believing in him.

If Brown was paying attention to ANY of the media outlets, then he and his agent probably knew that Williams, Albert, and Clady would be off the board before him. That being said, to be included with those top guys and saying the Texans considered him to be a "top tier" OT instead of a "second tier" OT like many people were projecting, SHOULD be a boost of confidence for him. Now the pressure is on him to prove to everyone that the Texans were right.
