To be honest I do not know.   Basically the only thing that is know about this years NFL Draft is that nobody really wants to be in the top 5.  Yes Miami did sign Jake Long to a contract, but all things considered, Long was the safest choice.  He has the three things that NFL offensive linemen need, 1) Experience, 2) Skill, 3) Work ethic.  If he can make the transition to the NFL he will be one of the top left tackles in the league for 10-15 years baring injuries.  After that the teams have more needs than they have draft picks, St. Louis, is rebuilding both lines, Atlanta needs help all over the place, with the possible exception of RB and LB.  The Raiders, well suffice it to say untill Al (the mad scientist) Davis exits the pictures they are a 100% crapshoot.  I could go on and on with each team, but I don't care, nor do I really have the time.  So on to the Texans, who after nearly three hours will hand a card up for the commissioner for their pick which will be the lowest they have ever drafted in the team's history. 

With that being said, it would not surprise me if the Texans, traded down a couple of times and picked up additional 3rd or 4th round picks.  Simply because, while this draft is lacking is superstar talent, it does have what I would call extraordinary depth especially at several positons, and the things that the Texans need are where the depth is.  As I sit and evaluate the roster as it is right now the things that stand out are:

• depth at LB
• depth at both S and CB
• youth on OL (LT to be specific)
• and a RB that fits the blocking scheme that Alex Gibbs is installing.

Now I am not sold on any of the RB's in draft that are listed as first round talent, as being good fits for the Gibbs zone blocking scheme.  You need a back that can read the line find the seam and make one cut and get positive yardage.  Backs like Mike Hart, Kevin Smith and Matt Forte come to mind.   That being said here is the way I see the Texans drafing  round, position only, simply because there are to many possible options.

• Round 1 - CB or LT
• Round 3 DB or RB
• Round 4 RB or DB (safety)
• Round 5 OL or LB
• Round 7 LB/RB/DB someone who has potential and will play special teams.

Again this is simply my guess, and since norcalfella's NFL mock draft looks like it is not going to get off the ground, it looks like my evaluation of draft talent will have to wait till after the event at which time I will also grade last years draft class.
