What new starters do you want to see?

Given that some teams have trouble filling out a starting offensive line, I don't doubt that finding depth is an issue for most teams. That said, it's nice if a couple of later picks can develop to solid back ups. My dream is the Texans eventually start drafting for depth and not need.

Thank you, that is what I have been saying. Teams like the Eagles will draft a 1st rounder who does not even get on the field. That is the ultimate goal IMO.

PK, I think the Texans are only one or two drafts away from being in that position. Off the top of my head, I think a first rounder next year who is a running back or maybe db would be expected to start or contibute right away (not counting st). Maybe if there were a huge upgrade in the draft at wlb. Otherwise, I think we are pretty solid at all other positions with some developing young guys for this year's starters. If Caldwell earns the start at center, then I could see drafting a lineman on offense or defense and having the luxury to bring them along slowly.

I dunno, but I tend to think the biggest outstanding questions are in the DB.

If Caldwell takes over the OC position in the next year, then a OG prospect might get a shot. Unlikely though.

I agree with you guys on the DBs, a 1st round DB will be expected to compete. If Adibi continues to grow as a player would they still go WILL? Weatherspoon or Kindle could be prospects worth a look, if Kindle can learn to stay out of trouble.

Other than finding that compementary RB, and finding a CB to replace Dunta, we have arrived. We will always be fine tuning here and there, but I think we have fleshed out our team.
