When
you grade the Texans you have to look at
more than just this day. You have
to factor in that the Texans essentially
got quarterback Matt Schaub in this
draft and then got the top defensive
tackle with the No. 10 overall pick, and
got some athletes and developmental
players to go along with Schaub and
Okoye. That's a nice draft.
The Texans
are
continuing
to build
the defense
the right
way, from
the front
line back. Okoye
should
be
a disruptive
force and
get
consistent
penetration
to free up
Mario
Williams.
Young, big
and
lightening
quick it's
amazing to
think he is
only 19 and
was a 4 year
college
starter.
Overall
Value: 2 Pick Value: 2
Bust factor: 4

video breakdown of Amobi
Okoye
----->
Not blazing
speed (4.48)
but very
sound
fundamentally.
Always in
position to
make a play
on the ball.
He has good
size and
could push
for a nickel
job as a
rookie. A
real steal
at this
point.
A pretty
strong guy
who was a
one-year
starter at
Virginia
Tech. You
just have to
have these
guys around
to develop.
Offensive
line just
you have to
take your
shots and
hope for the
best.
