Texans' Projected Starters
Now that the draft is over, the Chronicle listed what it believed to be the Texans' depth chart in today's edition:
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/fb/texansfront/3831130.html
Here's my admittedly optimistic take on the starters come kick-off on September 10th against the Eagles:
OFFENSE
WR--Andre Johnson (given)
LT--Charles Spencer (a bit of a reach, but the thought of Seth "Swinging Gate" Wand starting again is too much to bear)
LG--Chester Pitts (finally gets to move back to guard, which everyone thinks is a much better fit than tackle)
C--Mike Flanagan (solid free agent acquisition)
RG--Steve McKinney (should be interesting to see how he does away from C)
RT--Eric Winston (will probably be Zach Wiegert, but I am officially driving the Winston bandwagon)
TE--Jeb Putzier (playing Mark Bruener is akin to displaying "It's a running play!" on the video screens)
WR--Eric Moulds (I'm positively giddy just typing that)
QB--David Carr (with VY in Tennessee, I pray for Kubiak's sake that this decision pans out)
RB--Domanick Davis (could anyone be any happier with Mario Williams' selection than this guy?)
FB--Jameel Cook (ummm...good?)
DEFENSE
LDE--Anthony Weaver (justify that $25 mil, Tony)
T--Seth Payne (with Travis Johnson waiting in the wings)
T--Robaire Smith (with Travis Johnson waiting in the wings)
RDE--Mario Williams (check that--Sam Bowie is probably happier than Domanick Davis about the Mario Williams pick)
OLB--DeMeco Ryans (could overshadow Super Mario as the best defensive rookie on the squad)
MLB--Sam Cowart (gotta have a savvy, crusty veteran in the linebacking corps)
OLB--Morlon Greenwood (look, I'm happy you're a U.S. citizen; how about you start tackling like one now?)
LCB--Dunta Robinson (if not for him, I would have thrown Molotov cocktails every time the defense took the field at Reliant last year)
RCB--DeMarcus Faggins (would've been nice to have another DB (Ko Simpson) here...what's that? We've got Phillip Buchanon? (Reaching for bleach to drink))
FS--C.C. Brown (should be an adventure)
SS--Glenn Earl (safeties are overrated anyway)

No, I don't want a rookie protecting Carr's weakside. But I want even less for Seth Wand to be charged with that task. In a perfect world, Spencer or Winston rises to the occasion and makes the job his own. Seeing as how this is the Texans, I fully expect Casserly will lure Boselli's corpse out of retirement with an $18 million signing bonus to anchor the left side of the line.
LT: Pitts
LG: Wand
C: Flanagan
RG: McKinney
RT: Wiegert
Unless Winston or Spencer move to guard, I'd be surprised to see either of them in the starting lineup for Game 1. By midseason, different story, but I imagine Kubiak's need to win immediately will prevent him from 'going young' right off of the bat.
