And Texans don't have a long list of possible draftee visits documented atleast up to now.

Thought they had come out with the picks and we got a 3rd. At least that is what they are showing on draftsite.com

Sorry for the 'hiatus' this year fellas. I have been going through a separation and just had my divorce finalized. Now that I'm single, I've been going out more and spending less time crunching the numbers. I have also been somewhat depressed about this whole lock-out situation and wonder if we are even having football next year. Anyway, I'm getting my shit back together and have tinkered with my draftboard. Obviously, the Combine has altered my view on some players and some guys have been added while others were dropped. So, here's my board as of today....

Maybe it's just me or an oversight by you, but I'd jump all over AJ Green or Julio Jones over the WR's you have on the list. Actually, if I were running the Texans draft, I might select one of those two guys at #11 depending on which D players are left on the board.

[Roy P]

I won't be drafting a WR that high in the draft while I have AJ and the worst defense in the NFL. That's just a priority for me. Fixing the defense.

Are you serious.....??

[bono]

you have Justin Houston rated pretty high. higher than Quinn?

[Roy P]

I think Houston will be a mixture of S. Merriman and D. Ware.....so, Yes...I have him ranked pretty high.

I put together my draft board for the Texans every year. Mostly, just to keep myself honest once the season begins and everyone begins saying that they would have taken the ROY instead of the guy the Texans drafted. I can go back and show that I liked Clay Matthews more than Brian Cushing. This is all for entertainment purposes anyway. The Texans don't send me a check for my opinions. When Justin Houston outperforms Von Miller, you can come back and congratulate me for my scouting prowess. If Houston is a but and Miller has 10 sacks, then I'll gladly tip my hat. When I first started doing this, I relied upon the so-called experts who put out consensus boards. Yet, that didn't really tell you anything you didn't already know because it was consensus opinions. Then I started reading the Huddlereport and liked the fact that Drew went out on a limb and stood behind his opinions. So, I've sort of adapted that philosophy. I think Miller is over-hyped and isn't strong enough. We shall see.

Now that I'm thinking about it....I probably have Brooks Reed, Jabaal Sheard, and Chris Carter ranked too low and have bought into some of the 'group think' that has them as 2nd rounders. It would be nice to be able to double dip and get two pass-rushers in this draft to rotate with Barwin.

My personal opinion is, I would take OLB/DE Aldon Smith over Houston. From what I've seen on the NFL, Aldon is the better athlete, and has a better chance to move into the 3-4 rush OLB we all envision for Phillips defense.

[Roy P]

I believe that more people like Aldon Smith now. He's only a Junior so he has some 'growing' to do. I think he could be like a Michael Strahan in a 4-3 defense or possibly Jason Babin in a 3-4. So, I get that he has some upside, but he also scares me a little more than most other evaluators. From what I've heard through the rumor mill is that Wade likes him to be the next Demarcus Ware. So, if he's available, it wouldn't surprise me if we end up drafting him. If we do, I'll be hoping for Justin Houston to drop like a rock and be available in the 2nd round. Of course, we would most likely get secondary help or a NT in the 2nd. It's a lot of fun to speculate and I can't wait for the draft. Are we going to meet somewhere and hang out for the 1st round?

I can envision the first 4 rounds for the Texans going something like
OLB Aldon Smith
CB Ras-I Dowling
NT Jarvis Jenkins
S Mark Legree

[Blitzwood]

If we take A Smith in the first I can see us maybe taking:

A. Smith
Phil Taylor
Chimdi Chekwa/C. Brown
Brandon Bair
A. Binns/R. Johnson
