The Texans are in high demand for a DT to play 3-4 Nose Tackle (preferably over 300lbs, and has good power moves and block shedding), a 3-4 DE (preferably over 280lbs with good power moves and block shedding), an Inside Linebacker (a guy who can block shed is preferred), a Safety (preferably a Free Safety who can tackle and has good zone coverage capabilities) and a Right Tackle or Right Guard (with high impact block and run blocking capabilities)!
A number two WR is also not out of the question either
Expendable players include:
DE Antonio Smith (Run Stuffer, can play both 4-3 or 3-4)
OLB Connor Barwin (Much better suited to be a pass rushing DE)
ILB DeMeco Ryans (Franchise middle linebacker)
RG Antonie Caldwell (young run blocker)
RG Mike Briesel (solid guard)
HB Steve Slaton (speedy 3rd down back, receiving threat)
HB Ben Tate (B Potential, could progress into a workhorse)
HB Derrick Ward (solid 3rd down option)
TE Joel Dreesen (solid pass cather/number 2 TE)
TE James Casey (Potentially a future starter, good pass catcher)
QB Matt Leinart (Good Short, Medium, Play Action passer)
CB Jason Allen (6'1'', decent speed, man cov, and press, rates well as a safety, good hit power for a corner)
CB Sherrick McManis (Zone coverage corner, 84 Zone, could serve as depth at Safety)
CB Brice McCain (95 Speed, solid depth as the nickel or dime corner)
DT Shaun Cody (solid 4-3 DT)
FS Danieal Manning (96 Spd, nuff said)
Other players can be discussed...
