After clearing waivers after camp, Morris was added back to the Texans reserve injured list.
SOTT Draft Profile: Brock Osweiler
The next few weeks here on State of the Texans we will be doing some draft profiles of some particular players who could possibly fit into the Texans plans.

In this installment we look at the first quarterback of our series, Arizona State’s Junior signal caller Brock Osweiler. At 6’7″ and 242 lbs. he fits the bill for the big tall quarterback that NFL teams look for. Hampered by a mid foot sprain…
26/58 in Texans Favor
With so much hype with the Houston Texans draft spot and what direction they could go, we are here to ease your minds to show you there have been some quality picks since 2002 in the #26 and #58 draft spots. Currently they are the first two round spots the Texans currently hold in the NFL draft, but that could change on draft day. We look at, since the Texans have been in the league, the players picked at those draft spots. What we found were Super Bowl Champion players (who are all important pieces of their respective team), Pro Bowl players, big…

We are not going to try to piece together scouting reports, but we enlist help of bloggers who actually cover the respective player and their school. In this draft profile we look at N.C.

Texans Draft Map: The Rick Smith Era
With the NFL Draft closing in, we decided to look at where General Manager, Rick Smith looks for his draft picks.

You will see a break down of where the draft pick came from (The state where the school is located) and we put together some interesting facts about Smith’s draft picks. Maybe we can get some clues where some of the picks…
