13. How do you rate incoming talent at that level?

A Coach that has a good eye for talent can get teams to perform. Houston won’t have first and second round picks this year due to O’Brien’s mistakes, but many of the greatest players in NFL history were not first or second rounders. Houston has some incumbent talent, JC Watt is not what he used to be, but he is still a formidable defensive player, if the coach get a couple young players to go with him and bring in a couple veterans on one year deal, then a defense that was weak becomes formidable - plus, Houston has one of the best defensive coordinators (though hit and miss as a head coach) in the business coming in as it’s defensive coordinator.

In addition, there really is a pretty razor thin difference between incoming NFL players, those men are the cream of the players who played in college. A good eye can spot the guy who isn’t a high draft pick, but has the physical abilities and, most importantly, the mental construction to turn into a potent NFL player really fast with the right coaching.
