Can we draft a waterboy

Only if he has 4.3 speed.

[htownbrown]

He looks like a big boy.  Don't think you can just run this guy over on kickoffs.

We DO need to improve the K position.......but does this guy's stats indicate he's an improvement?  

.....we're not going to love everything any GM or coach does....

DJ said he thought he was the best kicker in the draft this year.

Edit: by a kicker

With that ass and legs maybe he could play a few downs at Nose Tackle in a pinch.

Texans draft the Texas A&M 12th Man Cullen Gillaspia. A&M holds tryouts every year of non-schollie students to see who has the right to wear #12 on the KO team. This young man won it 4 straight years and was finally given a scholarship because he excelled on those ST's. He actually played FB for them in Jumbo goalline short yardage situations. He has potential to make the Texans for his ST KO play alone. Many a game he was not only down there first, but also made the tackle for many a loss if they tried to run it out. Just a nice story of our  history of the 12th Man tradition coming to life and earning a draft pick in the 7th. There is a statue of the original 12th Man at the entrance of Kyle Field. Students stand the whole game to symbolize their willingness to come out of the stands to help the team just as he did in a bowl game in 1922 when the team had a lot of injuries before halftime. He donned a uniform and stood on the sidelines next to the coach ready to go in though he was not used.

No. 46 – CB Greedy Williams (LSU)

No. 119 – S Sheldrick Redwine (Miami)

No. 155 – LB Mack Wilson (Alabama)

No. 221 – CB Donnie Lewis (Tulane)

---------------------------------

7 rounds......we drafted 7 players.

Looking at the positions drafted, it's obvious that JD sees what we see.  He's throwing players at positions of need and we'll see what sticks.  -  With Ward being concussion prone, multiple CB's is a good idea.  On paper, I like the draft.  (especially our 1st pick......and our 3rd pick makes my think of Derrick And The Dominos:::::  Get your self a bottle of RED Wiiine )

Shores up a ton of depth...lots of competition. Pretty happy overall
