All the talk of quarterback I just wanted to point out this is a very good running back draft and I don't see the Texans leaving this draft without one. I noticed Storm Johnson while watching tape on Bortles. He's listed at 6'0 ft 215 lbs. I don't know his 40 time but he has on field speed. Really agile, can bang through the line, and has good receiving skills. He had 16 carries for 64 yards and a TD and 4 receptions for 41 yards against North Carolina ranked #12 at the time. 18 carries for 109 yards and a TD and 4 receptions for 79 yards and a TD against Louisville who was ranked #8. 20 carries for 124 yards and 3 TDs against #6 ranked Baylor (not particularly known for their defense though). 17 carries for 117 yards and a TD and 1 reception for 4 yards and a TD against Penn State. 28 carries for 127 yards against Houston. He's ran against some good teams this year. Could be a nice late round pick and good backup and future replacement for Foster.

I love Jeremy... But he looks like he can go in the 2nd or 3rd round to me. But I wouldn't be mad if they drafted a running back that early if it was him.
I forgot. Dude has been in trouble with the law a couple of times. He may not go in the 2nd or 3rd. And you know the Texans...
He seems to be trying to straighten things out, I wouldn't hold it against him. True, true but I wonder if BOB will have the Belicheck approach. Like when he threatened Corey Dillon that he would bury him if he f***ed up lol
Plea bargaining out of being a registered sex offender is a scarlet letter in my book. Some stains don't come out. A forcible sex act is one of those.
I'm sorry for derailing. Back on topic, all I've seen is YouTube, but I like what I saw of the bowling ball from Towson St., Terrence West. He actually looks a little bit like a poor man's Carlos Hyde, and you can probably pick him up 3 rounds later. I really don't care for Sims from West Virginia. He couldn't run through a wet paper towel. Every arm tackle drops him. No yards after contact at all.
I wouldn't mind Bishop Sankey from Washington or Lache Seastrunk from Baylor. I'll post highlights later.
I don't think the Texans can afford to pick up a RB until maybe the 5th round (depending on what they know about Foster) QB OT LB A bigger cover guy Really there will be so many serviceable FA's and undrafted RB's around. Maybe you could get De'Anthony Thomas as you speed/change of pace back and use him in the kicking game
I like what I saw of Seastrunk. Mocks I've seen lately have him in the third round. I agree, though, that we could easily wait until the fourth or fifth round at least.
