We're pleased to have acquired him. The reason we targeted him on the first day of free agency was because we thought he was a good young talent.

We had made progress in each of our first three years, and we had a better team coming back this year. But the injuries to key people have really hurt.

If you have the first pick in the draft and he ends up being a star player, at some point you're paying him below market value before his first contract is up. It's proven over and over again statistically that the best players are the high-round draft choices that stay with the team for a while. Obviously, you need a core of star players.

Davis, through hard work, has improved his play from the first day he arrived with the Texans, and we feel confident he will continue to flourish in the years to come.

We need a lot of things. I think we've got a nucleus. I don't think we're as bad as our record, but we're not a playoff team. We can make a jump here if things are hit right between free agency and the draft.
