Fred Bennett Is The Newest Texan!

I really like this pick.  Bennett is a very big, fast CB who excels in coverage.  Apparent weakness against the run, but I'd sacrifice run support at CB if it brings a surplus of cover ability.  When you factor in the increasing talent and depth on the line and in the linebacking corps, it's even easier to justify rolling the dice on a cover corner.

I'm pumped about this one, and I imagine former Gamecock Dunta Robinson is too.

Re: Run Coverage
It'd be a nice shift for the Texans to have CBs who can cover so that their safeties, who are good run stoppers (Brown and Earl, specifically), could be a bit more aggressive without fear of Lee Evans streaking down the middle of the field unobstructed.

Completely Agree.
Given the fact that we've got two young first rounders on the line, and the def. ROY leading the linebacking corps---Our box=badass.

Everyone on defense needs to be willing to take on the run-but if there's any one I'm ok with doing a subpar job...it'd be the corners.

I'd have a whole different opinion if we drafted a safety with run defense issues.

Our day will come.
