Quote:Houston had a very solid draft. I am admittedly not a huge fan of Clowney, and think he won't live up to the hype. I do think he will be good though. He won't be the next Reggie White IMO. However Sua'Filo (sp) in the second is a huge pick, and the DT that they took is a steal as well.

 

Without the QB, they may not have all the pieces in place, but they got some solid talent, and had the Jags taken those same players, we would all probably be dancing in the streets.

 

I wanted Greg Robinson. But I was happy they didn't take a QB. I don't know what to think about Clowney... so far he seems like a nice enough guy, funny, & "smart" (for an athlete). He says all the right things in the media... so far, does all the right things at practice. I like that he's not a quite guy like Mario, more extroverted, less passive. Might turn into a leader on our defense (along with Watt & Cushing). 

 

Su'a-Filo made the draft for me. I had been wanting to get rid of Wade Smith going on three years now. Making the Pro Bowl in 2012 was a joke. I had much rather had the best OG in the draft than the 8th best OT. 

 

Nix... yeah, I wanted a big Gronk type TE, didn't even know about Fiedorowicz, I was thinking Niklas but he was already gone. I wasn't upset with the Fiedo pick (because I know I don't know as much about these players), but the scouting reports sounded like exactly what I was hoping for (not that I think he'll be Gronk, just that he adds that dimension to our offense, heck, I like Zach Potter so far). But to end up getting Nix anyway? The Texans knocked the draft out of the park.... imho.

 

The QB situation isn't pretty. I'm hoping OB starts Case Keenum. institutes the AirRaid offense. Playing the Jags twice a year, maybe he can recapture some of that UH magic.
