As nice as that is for the Texans their defensive backs are still abysmal. Pass rush doesn't get to the QB every play.Wow, Reed and Barwin on the same team...Some board members are gonna become Texans fans...
The Texans = AFC South
Honestly how many defensive backs does this team need? What is the current count?
McCourtey
Bodden
Arrington
Butler -failed second rounder
Whilite-failed second rounder
Wheately-oops he is already gone, failed third rounder
and now Dowling-an injuried soon to be failed second rounder
Chung
Merriweahter
Sanders
McGowan
Tate
plus the guy they took from Denver last year
and I know I'm missing a few.
Pass Rushers: None.

so, who is left for pass rushing OLBs/DEs? Any draftniks have a list??
you didn't want him? Who are you hoping for pass rush?(Honest question, not attacking you or anything).
So anyways Sheard and Reed go off the board early. I think we might look at Allen Bailey from the U now. It also wouldn't shock me to see us go with an OG here.
Putting pressure on the QB isnt important apparently
reed, barwin, watt, cushing. Im seeing a trend here

We don't need no stinkin pass rush.
Winners collect draft picks.
You can't have your pick and use it too.
Fair question, sir!!
I LOVE Brooks Reed...but I think he's a 5th Round talent and a VERY limited player.
As for who's gonna rush the passer, I share your concerns.
I just would've hated THAT move.
I'm still praying for KENRICK ELLIS, baby!! :rocker:
Wheatley was a second rounder and Wilhite was a 4th rounder. At least get your facts straight if you're going to complain about the pick.
Also, Wilhite hasn't failed...he's been a good slot corner for a 4th round pick. Butler hasn't yet either...last year he struggled at times, but was more often than not in good position. He just wasn't able to always make the correct play on the ball.
Dowling's pick allows the DBs to become more flexible, especially if he plays a similar role by switching between CB and S like Chung did last year. It will allow the team to disguise coverages and DB blitzes in addition to gputting another guy back there that can actually cover. It also covers your backside during the game if someone gets injured.
Of that list of DBs, McGowan is the one that I'd think of as the odd man out. He was hurt last year and fell out of favor the year before. Plus Chung, Page, Sanders, Merriweather, McCourty, Bodden, Arrington, Butler, and Wilhite all seem to have a role on the team.
