In the last entry, we talked about the Texans maybe spending two draft picks on outside linebackers. Late yesterday came word that the team would visit with veteran LB Cato June. Obviously, June doesn’t change any draft plans when it comes to the team picking up (what we assume) will be a bigger, stronger linebacker [...]

I was looking over our current linebacker corps, and I’m starting to think that – as with running back – the position might warrant more than one selection in the Draft. I don’t really see this team being able to go double-picks with TWO positions, but at either LB or RB, it might actually be [...]

Finally, it’s been said publicly. More on that in a moment. Vivek and I had the following exchange just yesterday in the comments here: Vivek: …Kubiak reiterated that he wants to pair Steve Slaton with another running back. “The perfect complement is a bigger, more physical guy who’s good in short-yardage and goal-line situations,” Kubiak [...]

A lot of us figured the Texans would have interest in NC State RB Andre Brown, and clearly that is the case. Brown is scheduled to visit with the Texans, along with many other teams. He’s 6-0, 225 pounds, and ran a 4.49 (officially) at the Combine. Uh, yes please. He’d be the perfect compliment [...]

Simple question, only two choices. Let’s say the Texans, for whatever reason – HAD to choose between a RB and a WR in the first round, taking into account who you think will and will not be available at #15. This is a tough one, because there’s a very good chance you’d have your pick [...]

Strangely, this week has suddenly shown Brian Cushing making a comeback on the Mock Draft Tracker. He had recently slipped a bit and had been replaced by Clay Matthews, but for whatever reason, Cushing has moved back to the top. I’m a little surprised at this, considering how much it seems Matthews’ stock is rising, [...]

[You can track confirmed and reported incoming free agent signings in the Offseason Central box above.] I’m crazy-busy today, so I can’t go deep on this right now – but thanks to the many of you that commented/emailed/alerted me to the Texans’ signing of ex-Lions DT Shaun Cody. The signing has been reported in numerous [...]

Before you “no early or mid-round offensive players” erupt, please hear me out, and follow my logic. While working on my latest upcoming seven-round Texans mock, I ran into a bit of a road block in the third round. There are a lot of guys I like in the third… but there’s too much talent [...]

[EDITOR'S NOTE] In keeping with my promise to post guest articles/mock drafts, here’s another one – this time from reader KD. He’s got a different take on things, and while I disagree with a lot of the logic here, I always said I didn’t have to agree with a guest post, as long as it’s [...]

Er, more like the “comment bag.” Vivek writes: You’ve gotten me intrigued with your Oher talk… any chance you could expand on it a little with a post? Or have you already said all that needs to be said? Looking at team needs, it seems like there’s a reasonable chance he slips to us depending [...]
