Linebacker Zac Diles was the Texans' leading tackler last season when he suffered a season-ending leg injury in practice on Nov. 5. A seventh-round draft pick in 2007, Diles was the Texans' starting strongside linebacker before his injury. When asked how his recovery is coming along, he responded, "It’s coming along really well. I went to the doctor on Monday and got cleared to participate in all the offseason drills, and it’s going along good. This was my first week out there running with the fellas and everything, so it was good to be back." Source: houstontexans.com
So Diles and Adibi are healthy now,and we picked up Cato June and Buster Davis. And the Texans used a 1st round pick on that position (cushing). Obviously the Texans need depth at OLB in case of injuries again, but a 1st round pick should be for a need not depth. Like S, CB, or #2 WR, or even another RB for Slaton which wasn't adressed in the draft at all. Everybody wants to fire Kubiak if we dont make the playoffs, but GM Rick Smith Should be the 1st to go.
