Matt Schaub is primed for a big year with the Texans, and you should be able to pick him up late enough in the draft that he will be a real steal.

Last season, Schaub was projected as a quarterback with some good upside. His numbers still do not reflect what he is capable of should he and Johnson both stay healthy. They have a few young wide-outs and a solid tight end for him to throw to. In addition, the emergence of Steve Slaton at the running back position is going to pay big dividends. I expect the Texans to be a solid team this year, with a rock solid offense.

Take Schaub as a back up for potential trade bait later in the season, or draft him with a couple other low profile quarterbacks later in the draft. He may not be a top tier quarterback, but come the end of the season, he’ll have put up some good numbers. I’m looking for 3500 yards and 20-25 touchdowns, with some upside from those projections should he and Johnson both stay healthy all season.
