Are these vists at the combine or scheduled personal vists?

The post only said they had been contacted by the Texans. Some of these are going to be smoke screens, and some might be legit interest on the Texans part.

I do not subscribe to Scout's Inc, so someone here who does might be able to answer popanot's question better. Help please?

I doubt this list is all inclusive, but nonetheless, I'm surprised Cushing isn't on it. Smoke screen or no interest??? Hmmm....

Good stuff PK ! But it leaves a lot to the imagination, but that 's part of the fun I guess, trying to speculate what this might mean ? For example, quckly browsing the list I count more WRs than any other position ? I dunno what that's suppose to mean since I tend to think of it as our strongest position on either side of the ball ?
Kinda along these same lines, I've yet to see the Texans mentioned as being present at any of the Pro-Days ?

WR/PR could mean Jacoby Jones is on a short rope.

I thought that when we met David Anderson's contract. I would think they are seriously investigating anybody else's interest in JJ. Draft Day Trade........?

4CB and 6 WR?

I think that Kubiak and Smith use the combine interviews as much as a smoke screen as using it to get more of a personal understnading of guys that will be depth/ST players and players with possible personality conflicts.

This regime of Smith and Kubiak play it much closer to the vest than Charlie ever did.

Charlie loved to leak stuff to McClain and Little Dickie off the record. LD now has to work for a story and instead chooses to preach his brand of sanctimonious crapola.

On that list, I see:

William Moore (S, Mizzou): Low first high second round safety, maybe a target with the 2nd pick, but I don't think first.
Nic Harris (S/LB, Oklahoma): Weakside LB, maybe a target in the later rounds, 5?
Rashad Johnson (S, Alabama): 2nd round safety
Chip Vaughn (S, Wake Forest): 4th rounder safety?
Malcolm Jenkins (CB, Ohio State): 1st round CB maybe a safety for us
Vontae Davis (CB, Illinois): 1st round CB, again maybe being looked at as a safety, or he could be looked at as a corner, maybe more so than Jenkins
Keenan Lewis (CB, Oregon State):Corner depth possible safety transition player, 5th round
Coye Francies (CB, San Jose States): Corner Depth, maybe 4th rounder
Robert Ayers (DE, Tennessee): Late first, or second round DE
Connor Barwin (DE/OLB/TE, Cincinnati): 2nd round versatility prospect
Everette Brown (DE, Florida State): First round DE
Cody Brown (DE, Connecticut): Second round DE, OLB, pass rush specalist
Gerald McGrath (LB, Southern Miss): MLB or WLB 3rd rounder
Clay Matthews (LB, USC): First round OLB with pass rush skills
Larry English (LB/DE UNI): Late first or second round pass rush specalist or OLB
Jason Watkins (OL, Florida): 5th or 6th round swing tackle
Jaimie Thomas (OL, Maryland): 7th round guard
Quan Cosby (WR, Texas): 4th round WR/KR
Louis Murphy (WR, Florida): 3rd round WR
Juaquin Iglesias (WR, Oklahoma): 3rd round WR
Derrick Williams (WR, Penn State): 2nd or 3rd round WR
Jeremy Maclin (WR, Mizzou): 1st round WR
Jared Cook (TE, South Carolina): 2nd round TE
