Anthony Hill Is The Newest Texan?

I knew this before now, but it's more than official: I have absolutely no idea what the Texans will do from pick to pick. Anthony Hill?

Well, at least he's a native son. We can build on this!

I Wish

A man can dream.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

I did stay up all saturday night drinking and I haven’t yet gone to sleep, but I am still confused. Can anyone make sense of this? I understand we need blocking in the red zone, but wouldn’t it be better to draft an RB first?

No RB

Makes sense if the Texans have decided Gartrell (or someone else who they can get later) is their guy. I don’t have a problem not drafting a RB yet.

What the hell was the point of signing Dreesen?

If we were so set on drafting a backup TE anyway???

I Can't Answer That

I’m guessing it’s because they think Hill is an upgrade over Dreessen…an upgrade they didn’t think they’d be in a position to get?

People keep saying this

And I understand the point, but Dreesen was re-signed before we knew we would get a replacement in the draft.

The real question is “Does it really cost us anything to cut Dreesen?”. That is of course worst case, if we can’t get a late pick as a trade.

So you're saying that now I have to think of some witty Sig that will be applicable across all the SBN sites? Go Texan Horn Stros!

Blocking TE

“Although Hill is extremely limited as an athlete his value comes from his ability as an inline blocker. In fact, he’s our top-rated rblocking tight end. He possesses brute strength at the point of attack and can push defenders off the ball.”
