Round 1 Pick 11
Posted: Wed Mar 2, 2011 3:57 pm
Who do i want the texans to pick in the 1st round of the NFL Draft. Obviously a guy like Patrick Peterson would be gone by the 11th pick... the same goes with Nick Fairley and Marcell Dareus.
Lets take a look at the holes on the texans rosters.
Offense:
QB: Shaub
FG: Leach
RB: Foster
WR1: Andre Johnson
WR2
TE: Daniels, Dressen
O Line: Solid
Defense
LDE: Smith
RDE: Williams, Anderson
DT:
MLB1: Ryans
MLB2: Cushing
SAM:
WILL:
LCB: Jackson
SS
FS
BIGGEST NEEDS:
1. DB (Safetey or Corner)
2. OLB
3. DT
Obviously a lot of work. Quinn is rumored to be moved to FS and he should be a much better safetey than he is a corner. he is a smart DB, just doesn't have the speed and quickness to be a corner. The team is also looking at Earl Mitchell to possibly be that DT in the new 3-4.
The players i would go for that maybe available would be DE/OLB Robert Quinn or OLB Von Miller. Von maybe gone but hopefully not both. They are the perfect players to play OLB in our new 3-4 defense. I'm really like Robert Quinn. very athletic, quick, agile, and fluid movements. he can dip low at a good angle while pass rushing, something a guy like Dwight Freeney is very very good at.
Round 2: Hopefully CB Brandon Harris from Miami is still available. yes its another rookie cornerback but its a position in need nonetheless. He will be in the mix with 2nd year corner Kareem Jackson (who is expected to make a big jump) and veteran Jason Allen who was a solid pick up for Houston in the middle of the season.
Obviously we need a little help from the free agency also and guys we have right now will continue to fill in our position of need just because they're available.
