    I would love Berry also, but i'm not sure he will be available either, but that gives us an opportunity to sign Dontari Poe, who would be a huge upgrade next to Casey and in turn his push in the middle improves the pass rush considerably

    Cb- we are the worst in the nfl, this is the most important possition to work on. We need to add 3-4 new guys in this group alone: 1st or 2nd rounder, a #1, a guy to compete hard for #2 and a guy to push all our cbs.
    S- we are very average. Byard is young so are looking good there, but ss is a position we should look to add elite talent only.
    Olb- we are older, but pretty dang good. Maybe add 1 young guy to spell rak and morgan, if dodd isn't that guy.
    Ilb- we are slightly below average. We need to add elite talent or a project that can be starter by mid season.
    Dl- we are solid. We really only need to add a little depth or a project player.

    In short our dl and olbs are the only places we have high end talent. We must add good players in our secondary and at ilb. Good news is, the draft looks to be heavy in those areas and the fa pool isn't to bad either.

    Yes.

    Who are you a fan of? Any cb's you think are worth top 5 pick?

    Idk who would be worthy of that just yet, I basically just started looking over the top 5 CBs today, so there is work to be done to see what the overall talent is at the position.

    Adoree Jackson really stood out tho, I'd like to see more than what draftbreakdown offers

    Impending free agent CB A.J. Bouye said he wants to re-sign with the Texans.

    Bouye, 25, opened the summer as the Texans' No. 4 corner but elevated his play to the point he was Houston's top corner by season's end. He was Pro Football Focus' No. 6 cover corner out of 120 qualifiers, allowing just two touchdowns and breaking up 11 passes. With youth on his side, Bouye is arguably the top impending free agent corner set to hit the market.

    What was his QB rating against when the QB threw his way?

    Jackson stands out because of his elite athleticism. But he's raw as a CB. You'll see him make a great break on a pattern and arrive with the ball and break it up. Then you'll see him bite hard on a slugo when he has no help and give up an easy td.

    Watching him try and press Ross in the Washington game was interesting til Ross faked him so badly he tripped over his own feet trying to change directions with Ross and fell down. Easiest TD Ross ever caught. I don't think he played Ross in close man again without a S over top!

    The awesome athleticism is there. He just doesn't have good technique and they seem to play a lot of bump looks and then back him 8-10 yards off in zone or cover 0 or 3.

    Like Peppers, having them do so much hurts their technique going to the next level!!!

    I keep seeing many say that our outside LB's and DL are great and don't need an upgrade. I tend to agree with that but keep remembering our inability to get to the QB in many of our games. Are we being homers and over valuing what we have or what is the deal?
