I noticed on a site today that alot of linebackers are still available via free agency. Both OLB and MLB are plentiful.
What is our current cap position? Do we have any money to spend or are we just waiting to fill needs at the draft?
We need 2 linebackers(unless Braman and Dobbins are the fill ins for Mario and Demeco), a couple of OL guys to fill in for Winston and Briesel, a WR because Jacoby and Walter blow, possilbey a TE to replace Dressen although they say Casey will do this, then we need a FB. We also still need help in the secondary too, CB or Safety. Get busy Rick!!
I dig the Nike Texans gear One Eye! I also like the commish doing the Foster bow too, that is classic. I like the commish, he doesn't fuck around.

As far as the draft goes, "solely drafting for depth," I think is out the window until late rounds and undrafted free agents. IMO we need at least a starting WR & MLB. I think Reed earned the OLB spot already however, if they get a premier OLB/DE like Quinton Coples, Whitney Mercilus or Nick Perry, its possible they'll battle for it. Nothing against Reed, its just these guys are bigger, faster, and stronger and all perceived to be 1st rd picks. I'd say they may look to draft some depth for O-line as well but judging by their past and the scheme they run, I think they'll wait for later rounds or sign free agents for those spots.
BTW if the Texans get their desired WR in the draft, I think Muffoby Jones gets the red card.
Don, I know who ur talking about.. Coby Fleener. Yeah man this feller is a freak for his size and abilities. @ 6'6", 247lbs and running a sub 4.5 40, they're calling him possibly the next Gronkowski (or better). However with OD, a former pro bowler, its a long shot that they over look other voids unless they're thinking trade. I doubt it, but I never guessed they'd give up DeMeco either.
