Building On the Texans Image

» Chron: Texans look to build on team image in NFL Draft (John McClain)

"Build on"??? The article sounds more like they're trying to reinvent.

I hate to be a total pessimist about the home team, but cheering on the Texans has about all the merits of cheering on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during their first two seasons in the league. When a guy named Sage Rosenfeld outperforms the guy you brought in to be the improvement over David Carr, you've seriously got a lot to wrap your mind around in order to grasp the futility of this endeavor.

With the 18th pick, my guess is that the player we pick up may not be a household name as collegiate left tackles and defensive ends sometime seem to be less than well-known. I'm a little biased by the way the 90s Oilers were built with O-line draft picks, but it looks like this team will be built with D-line picks.

Ah well ... at least we've got John Jenkins-style football to look forward to in 2009. Maybe.
