    Don't really agree with the specialist call. The Texans don't seem all that high on Griffin or Anderson so thinking he'll be our TE2 this season with a decent shot Akins at being your starter. Ervin, for all intent and purpose, was drafted to be our KR. Not a smart pick in the 3rd round with having just brought in Miller.

    Griffin has a concussion history.....not as bad as CJ.....but he has had a few. They are covering their bases.

    I don' like where he was picked. He would have gone in the 6th or possibly undrafted.

    Ehh doubtful. Just because most of the sites weren’t on him doesn’t mean teams didn’t think highly on him. He didn’t run his 40 but looks like he has 4.6 speed. I probably would’ve preferred Mark Andrews but gotta trust the scouts here. Most likely he’s the best receiving threat we’ve had in years from the go. Will be another nice weapon for DW4. He’s 26 but also doesn’t have the wear and tear that other guys do.

    I'll admit. I www skeptical about this pick. I'm not ready to "eat crow" yet but I'm getting my utensils.
