The Texans have re-signed Charlie Anderson to a 1-year contract. He played in 13 games last season for the Texans and he made 16 tackles and defensed 1 pass. Over his three year NFL career he has played in 44 games and he has made 47 tackles, defensed 3 passes and recovered 2 fumbles (one of which he returned 60 yards for a TD). Anderson is a decent reserve linebacker and special teams player.
The Texans have re-signed Shante Orr to a 1-year contract. He played in all 16 games last season for the Texans and he made 32 tackles, had 1.5 sacks, defensed a pass and recovered a fumble. He is a solid reserve linebacker for the Texans and this was a good signing.
I have conducted a complete 7 round draft for every team in the NFL. If you want to see what I have projected for any other team in the NFL, click on the team name in the right hand margin and go to the team’s Draft Report page if you don’t see the article on the front page of the site. This was a lot of work so I hope you enjoy it.
The Texans will be looking at their board for best value and that will lead them to draft these players later this month:
1. (10) Leon Hall, CB, Michigan
3. (73) Chansi Stuckey, WR, Clemson
4. (107) Kevin Kolb, QB, Houston
5. (144) Adam Koets, OT, Oregon State
6. (183) Dan Santucci, OG, Notre Dame
7. (218) David Bale, WR, New Hampshire
Leon Hall and Chansi Stuckey should be starters from Day #1 for the Texans. The pick of Kolb helps guard against Matt Schaub not being the real deal.
The Texans have signed WR Andre Davis to a 1-year contract. He played in all 16 games for the Buffalo Bills last season and he caught 2 passes for 13 yards (6.5 avg). He also returned 6 kickoffs for 99 yards (16.5 avg). He will provide the Texans with a #4 or #5 WR that can help out on special teams.
