Team Needs

[willspencer]

Let's get this thread going to talk about the biggest off-season needs for your team

I have half embraced the Texans since they became a team a few years back (mostly because my Raiders have sucked since 2003). But I was wondering if anyone else has thought that a offense is a bigger need than given? Schaub just had a career year, but he has no history of being healthy and just seems like a product in a great offensive system. I'm not saying that the Texans need a top drafted QB, but maybe an insurance policy in the mid-late rounds like John Skelton (although I think he will be a 3-4th rounder when it's said and done), Ryan Perriloux, or even (gulp) Colt McCoy.

I think that with a power runningback, a WR2 and maybe even a slot receiver the team becomes a 12-win team over the next two seasons. Let's pencil this draft out (give or take a lot of things obviously):

1st: Taylor Mays, S
2nd: Brandon LaFell, WR
3rd: Toby Gerhart, RB
4th: Freddie Barnes, WR,
5th: John Skelton,QB
6thA: Best DL/DB available
6thB: Best OL available
7th: Best DL/DB available

^Or some version of that^. I think this adds a ton of potential and firepower to the offense, it provides a major need in safety, and depth on the back end never hurts. Just an idea

are you happy with the DT's?

I think the position could be addressed but I'm not that worried about it. The team finished 11th best against the rush and while they were not great at sacks I think that the team has so much potential and talent in their line to take a DT early(without one falling). Shaun Cody isn't elite but he fills a hole and is ok. And Amobi Okoye is 22, has 3 years of experience under his belt and will be fine since he is still growing.

I guess I would rather see the team focus on extreme needs like their DB before the DT
