How do we save Rivers, Mathews, and get back in the play offs next year?

Those issues are all manageable as long as they don't use five of their six picks in the top three rounds over the next two years on one player.

Which begs the question, what were they thinking dumping Winston

Didn't want to pay him. Not like he's been that great anyway.

And Houston has no reason to move all the way up, let alone trade all those picks/players for a guy like Lotuleilei or Hankins (who is vastly overrated anyway)

He's not great, but he's better than what they have this season.

They let Winston walk because they knew that all they needed was a nose tackle. They have no other needs. They're going to trade us their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 2014 2nd, and 2014 3rd for Lotulelei and he's going to play NT, RT, and a little receiver.

Dont forget a little safety!

If we were picking 5th, we would be the ones getting taken advantage of.
Pick # 5 = 1700 pts
Pick # 32 = 590 pts
net points =1110
points their # 64 = 270
net points 840
points their # 96 = 116
net points = 724
points they gave for Ben Jones =104
net points = 620
2014 second # 64 = 270
net points = 350
2014 third = pick #116
net points = 234
I don't care who they pick with the # 5 pick. I do know we need 5 picks in the first 3 rounds to get back to being a play off caliber team quick. I really don’t care who we trade with as long as we get a player of need and 5 picks in the first 3 rounds.

This makes sense.

I think we finally agree.

JJ Watt does not need a NT next to him. He is having the most dominating season I have ever seen from a 5 tech in a 3-4. More dominating than Bruce Smith.

They let Winston walk to free up room for Foster eventually, from what I have read.

Let an old man dream, if we could have had a J.J. Watt with our 06 team it would have been unbelievable, DE J.J watt and Castillo, NT Jamal Williams OLB Merriman and Phillips ( Foley if he hadn't got shot ). Wade would of had sweet dreams and all opponents would have had nightmares.
