We need to beat Andrew Luck and the Colts twice a year. We can't do it without special players on defense.
J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and Brian Cushing would be an amazing trio to build a dominating defense around.
We're 0-12 all time at Indianapolis as well. That's just sad to me. We need to go in there and kick their ass!!!!!





We can draft the best available quarterback at pick number 33 (first pick in second round).
I don't care who it is but we need to rally behind that guy and support him 100 %, IMO.

One month and five days to go until the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft on May 8

I just don't think anyone QB is worth the #33 pick, which is really a late 1st pick.

Don't like Zach Mettenberger. I probably wouldn't mind Carr with our 3rd pick, but he's likely to be gone by then. AJ McCarron isn't bad, but he seems douchey(have you seen his chest tattoo?).\

If we're going with Clowney or Mack with our #1 pick, we might as well go all out on defense.

NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock says South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney has more natural physical talent than anyone who's ever played defensive end.

Bill O'Brien knows quarterback play very well. I'm confident he can groom a second or third-round quarterback into something special. I actually think Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to be our Week 1 starter in 2014. He has the intelligence to grasp what O'Brien wants rather quickly. Whoever we draft isn't going to be thrown to the wolves and start right away. They will have the opportunity to sit and learn.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Texans select Jadeveon Clowney number one overall and then follow that up with a big nose tackle in round two. May as well fill two huge holes on defense and make life easier for J.J. Watt who won't have to shed through two blockers on almost every play. Then go with a quarterback with the first pick in the third round like AJ McCarron. I'm pretty sure he'll still be on the board at pick #65. But I think if Jimmy Garoppolo is available at pick #33 it's a no brainer to take him.

I still actually think Mack could be a dark horse selection for the Texans. We surprised everyone in 2006 by taking Mario Williams over Vince Young and Reggie Bush. I'd prefer Clowney, though.

Interesting to hear Bill O'Brien talking about the many quarterbacks in this draft. Starting at the 2:20 to 2:51 mark.



Bill O'Brien is a good coach. Just a matter of getting lucky in the draft and picking the right players. And also key players staying healthy in 2014.
