Day two… I love it. Brooks Reed isn’t the top guy I would have taken in the second, but you bet he was on my list. Brandon Harris – that pick I absolutely LOVE. The Texans gave up their third and their fifth to the New England Patriots for Harris, who many feel has first [...]
The first round of the NFL Draft turned out to be… pretty crazy, but not as crazy as the analysts are saying it is. Who knows who the Texans are targeting in the 2nd, but we can certainly talk about some of the guys we’d like to see them make a run at. The Texans [...]
[UPDATE] I don’t hate this pick. I have nothing against Watt. He’s certainly not an exciting choice, but he’s a great fit for the team, and if defensive guru Wade Phillips says he’s the guy, then fine. I just wanted Robert Quinn and Cameron Jordan more, that’s all. Just like I preferred Dan Williams and [...]
It’s about that time! Check back here and there for updates about tonight’s NFL Draft! I’ll be updating as the picks are made. 1. Carolina Panthers – Cam Newton, QB, Auburn I would not have done this. But that’s just me. 2. Denver Broncos – Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M At least Cam Newton didn’t [...]

…and when I say last minute, that’s my fault. I’ve been sitting on this a while, but man, real life has been SO busy for me. So, longtime Houston Diehards reader “Truth” has checked in with a Mock Draft. Here it is, with his thoughts included on certain players. Enjoy! Less than 24 hours away! [...]
For the purposes of this poll, let’s assume the Texans don’t trade one way or another. I’m sure most of us would prefer a trade down on Thursday, but this poll is about players. Let’s assume all of these guys are on the board at 11. These seem to be the most likely players available [...]
It was Texans-heavy over at SBN Houston this weekend heading into Thursday’s NFL Draft.
