It’s that time of year where the draft season starts taking over and sets the tone for the upcoming 2013 season for the Houston Texans. With speculation and projections for the upcoming draft prospects it will be a long ride until late April and the 2013 NFL Draft. The Texans are picking 27th overall and have at least 10 picks in the draft, due to compensation picks from lost free agents. General Manager Rick Smith and the scouting department get to show what they are made of for three days in April, with majority of their work happening during the college season. We look at the “Rick Smith Era” with his draft picks since 2007, and see if we can get an idea where or what he might be looking at.   To understand the map the colored states are where the Texans have drafted players from. The Red indicates that only one player was taken from that state, the Blue indicates more than one player was taken and the number indicates how many players.   Quick Facts * 25 states are...

When the Houston Texans were sitting at 11-1 and looking ready to smash every expectation set for them before the season, I pictured that this season review would end up a lot differently than it will now. With the way the last six weeks of the 2012 campaign went, it was like a tale of two teams. But in being the same roster and the same team, Houston fizzled the last quarter of...

Via Patriots Life  |  January 19, 2013
All I heard leading up to both games verses the Houston Texans was how the Patriots had better fear JJ Watt and his ability to get after the QB and also to swat the ball down. That’s the main reason I’m so happy the Patriots pummeled the Texans so I didn’t have to hear such a fluff story again because the people at ESPN have nothing else to say. Leading up to this game the...
