NIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was mentioned here, above
SO, great value as they get him later
And a position of need

Texans front 7 on defense now includes JJ Watt, Clowney, Cushing and Nix

Me likey

(on the other hand, we have no QB, so they will have to hold teams to 10 points or less)

I am now hoping DT NIX falls to Houston

83. Houston: Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame: Nix is the drop of the draft here, considering that many expected him to go as early as the first round. He's big, athletic and powerful, but has struggled with his weight at times, has lacked consistency, and underwent season-ending knee surgery. Considering the tools, he's a gamble worth taking though here at 83. GRADE: A-

Texans arguably have so far drafted

Best player overall

Best OG

Best NT (for the 3-4)

Best blocking TE

QBs still available --  AJ McCarron, Zach Mettenberger, Tom Savage, Logan Thomas and Aaron Murray 

Bill O'Brien is considered a QB guru so it will be interesting to see who he likes today

At RB, I like the guy from BC - Andre Williams - he can beast

Jerry Jones: Manziel “is a celebrity. He’s Elvis Presley†and too big a distraction to be a backup

http://sportsblogs.star-telegram.com/cowboys/2014/05/jerry-jones-manziel-is-a-celebrity-hes-elvis-presley-and-too-big-a-distraction-to-be-a-backup-.html

Owner Jerry Jones continues to maintain that the Cowboys spent little time considering Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday.

 Jones said the decision to pass on Manziel and choose Notre Dame tackle Zach Martin with the 16th overall pick had everything to do with the presence of quarterback Tony Romo already on the roster.

Manziel was the higher ranked player on the Cowboys draft board when they took Martin, Jones said. 

 Jones wants it clear that he thinks Manziel will be a great player in the NFL and while the Cowboys did let the prospect of taking him cross their mind, the spectacle the Manziel hype in Dallas was just as big a deterrent as the presence of Romo.

 Jones actually echoed Manziel, who said "I don't know if the world could have handled that, honestly." Jones said the media explosion would have been out of control, also causing an unwanted quarterback controversy.

 "The one sure thing was that if he were a Cowboy this morning, it was going to absolutely be not only everything and what he is in the NFL and what have you, but there was no question it was going to be Romo and him in some form or fashion in every conversation," Jones said. "There was no way it couldn't have been that.

"Of course, as far as their ability to practice, come to meetings, be team players and what have you, I really know Romo too well, and look at his situation, and that would have worked. That was something to think about but not necessarily to worry about.

"At the end of the day, where we are is that there's no way we're not going to be without Romo for the next four, five, six, whatever you want to say years."
