Arian Foster and Duane Brown both tweet a lot.

Texans like WRs with size who can block. Pretty much not what Kendall Wright is. It's looking like Rueben Randle (LSU) or Stephen Hill (Georgia Tech) at 26 will likely be their selection if one drops. I'm trying to decide which one is better. Been watching videos on both and it's a tough call.

In the latest SI.com mock by Don Banks it's Rueben Randle to Houston. He has Wright gone at 22 to the Browns and Hill going early in round two.

26 WR Rueben Randle LSU Jr. 6-4 208 I had Randle to the Texans in my second mock of the year, back in late February, before the combine. Every old becomes new again at some point. Houston could surprise most everyone and not take a receiver in the first round, I suppose, but with Kendall Wright already gone and Stephen Hill short on track record, why not opt for a proven playmaker from a big-time program?



I really like what Randle can do with his size and speed. He seems the most versatile and the most likely to grasp Gary Kubiak's offense. But you have to wonder if a healthy Lestar Jean can already do the same things? Do the Texans really need to take a wide receiver in round one?

Dont really want him unless we can get him in the second round.

I'm actually liking Coby Fleener a lot too.

nvm you can have him in the 1st

I want Rueben Randle the most out of all the WRs who are late first rounders. He could really do well in the Texans offense.

If that's true I wouldn't touch him lol. But I doubt it is, unless some other sites are reporting it as well.

And go fuck yourself with Rueben Randle lol.

The NFL Draft is tomorrow, so here's a bump. Someone on NFL.com did a mock, which I like for the most part.

1st. Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
2nd. Alameda Ta'amu, NT, Washington
3rd. Casey Hayward, CB, Vanderbilt ~Hate this pick, I don't mind picking a CB in this draft, just too early IMO. Bruce Irvin was available here, I'd go with him.~
4th. Greg Childs, WR, Arkansas
4th. Nigel Bradham, LB, Florida State ~Meh pick, would probably go with DE depth~
5th. James Hanna, TE, Oklahoma ~Meh pick as well, doesn't have good stats, even playing in OU's spread offense with Landry~
6th. Vick Ballard, RB, Mississippi State
7th. Blair Walsh, K, Georgia

The off-season has been so boring. I'm ready to watch the draft tomorrow night. Is it just round one on ESPN?

Did you see Neil Rackers signed with the Redskins yesterday? Forgot to mention it earlier but that's a good thing considering he was useless kicking anything over 43 yards. He sort of bad mouthed the Texans management saying they promised him a long-term contract but only offered a low-ball one year deal. His miss in the playoff game against the Ravens was costly. Really changed the complexion of that game. Special Teams in general was a big weakness for the Texans last year.
