What to expect from the cornerbacks drafted into the AFC South, from Nate Dunlevy of Bleacher Report.

Houston Texans

Moving on from Neil Rackers, the Texans signed veteran kicker Shayne Graham to compete with draft pick Randy Bullock, says John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. He’s been with four teams the past two seasons and clearly the hope would be that the rookie can seize the job.

Wade Phillips is optimistic about the pass rush the Texans will field this fall, says McClain.

Who is the Texans’ No. 2 receiver? Nate Dunlevy of Bleacher Report considers the question.

Indianapolis Colts

Andrew Luck isn’t going to be able to use Jim Irsay’s plane to help him get together with other Colts before the class of 2012 is finished at Stanford, says Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star.

The Colts will return to Anderson University for training camp, with players reporting July 28, says the Star.

What the Colts need to accomplish in 2012 to consider the season a success, from Dunlevy. I’m big on his first point, developing a defensive identity.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Jordan Palmer is in line to be the Jaguars’ No. 3 quarterback, says Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union. Palmer was one of the players the team signed after a minicamp included a bunch of tryout guys.

The Jets, Lions and Titans have expressed interest in recently released cornerback Drew Coleman, according to Kimberley Martin of Newsday. Rex Ryan acknowledged the Jets would look at Coleman, who played well for them before he moved on to Jacksonville.

Tennessee Titans

Running through the post-draft roster and assessing if the Titans got better, stayed the same or got worse through free agency and the draft with Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean.

Wyatt takes a closer look at fifth-round tight end Taylor Thompson.

Three Titans who should be extended in the opinion of Zach Law from Bleacher Report. I’d hold off on Jared Cook.

Houston Texans

General manager Rick Smith’s expecting a top pick who impacts the team, says Dale Robertson of the Houston Chronicle. Robertson interpreted Smith’s comments as suggesting offensive line or linebacker as the most likely first-round leanings.

Houston perspective on Andrew Luck, whose dad, Oliver Luck, was an Oilers quarterback, from John McClain of the Chronicle.

Kicker Neil Rackers left the Texans for Washington, says Mark Berman of Fox 26. Rackers said the Texans didn’t make a big push for him.

Indianapolis Colts

GM Ryan Grigson finally said publicly that Luck is the Colts’ man. Now can the quarterback pry No. 12 from Quan Cosby? Mike Chappell’s story from the Indianapolis Star.

Luck is ready for the NFL and the Colts, says Bob Kravitz of the Star in this video.

Indianapolis needs play-making linebackers and Chappell previews the position in this draft.

Chuck Pagano loves the enthusiasm at minicamp, says Chappell.

Jacksonville Jaguars

General manager Gene Smith has built a reputation as one of the staunchest NFL decision-makers with regard to character issues, says Gene Frenette.

Former Jaguars receivers coach Ted Monken went on to become offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State and tells Frenette why Justin Blackmon would be a great fit for the Jaguars. Odds seem slim that the receiver is still available at No. 7.

The Jaguars' draft strategy needs to change and produce some skill-position players who can help score points, says Nate Dunlevy of Bleacher Report.

Tennessee Titans

Every time the Titans pick, general manager Ruston Webster will be looking at a group of six players from the Titans' board, says Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean.

Whatever cornerback the Titans add in whatever round, he’ll need to be a versatile player, says John Glennon of The Tennessean.

Once again, Matt Hasselbeck is ready to defend his job, says David Climer of The Tennessean.

When he talked Tuesday about what the Texans need out of the upcoming draft, Houston general manager Rick Smith identified offensive line, receiver and linebacker.

And when he talked about areas of depth in the upcoming draft, he hit the same three spots.

“I think we talked about the wide receiver position, they have some depth there,” he said at Houston’s pre-draft press conference. “I think there is some depth along the offensive line. I think linebacker is another position (with depth). So there are a few positions that have a little bit more depth than maybe others. All in all, I think this is a quality draft.”

It’s convenient when needs and draft strengths intersect.

For the Texans’ sake, I hope that’s happening.

A couple other notes out of Smith’s conversation with the media:

More on linebacker need for a team heading into Year 2 of using a 3-4 defense: “One thing about this defense is you need linebackers. You need depth at linebacker. You need as many guys as you can find that can rush the passer that are athletic. It helps you on special teams. I do believe that our special teams units were improved last year and part of that is a function of a 3-4 defense as one of the byproducts of the system. We’ll continue to bolster those groups and continue to try to find players that fit that system and can come in and help us.”

On feeling any pull to draft for offense early because the team has drafted a defender first each of the past three years and in eight of the past nine: “We rank it the way that this year is, and I think if you’re influenced by anything that you’ve done in the past relative to that type of conversation, I think you might make a mistake because it might influence you in a way that you ought not to be influenced.”

On the possibility of re-signing kicker Neil Rackers, who’s visited Washington: “We’re very interested in bringing Neil back and talking to his representatives about bringing him back.”

Houston Texans

An NFL Network list of the top Heisman Trophy winners in the NFL ranked Tim Tebow over Earl Campbell, says Nick Matthews of the Houston Chronicle.

Free-agent kicker Neil Rackers met with the Redskins, says John McClain of the Chronicle.

Texans TV rounded up a big gang for a thorough video discussion about what the Texans might do in the 2012 draft.

Indianapolis Colts

Rate the Colts' need of a receiver for Andrew Luck as high, says Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star.

Chappell’s looking forward to seeing Chuck Pagano lead a voluntary minicamp that kicks off today.

Luck will visit with David Letterman on draft day.

A trading card company has filed suit against Luck, says Matthews.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union sets up the Jaguars' draft room, running through who’s at the main table. Shad Khan has room for family members at the team’s primary table. I don’t know how many owners have family members with them in such a setting. But I know how many should: none.

More on how it’s likely to be difficult, or impossible, to trade out of No. 7, from Ganguli.

Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com rates Melvin Ingram as the best pass-rusher in the draft. That’d make him ideal for the Jaguars if he’s there at No. 7.

Tennessee Titans

Matt Hasselbeck and Jake Locker are ready to compete for the Titans’ starting quarterback job, says Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean.

The Tennessean’s multimedia draft preview looks at every possible pick at No. 20.

Wyatt reviews the Titans’ roster, position-by-position, with what they’ve got and what they need.

Kevin in Houston writes: Why is it taking so long to sign Chris Meyers, Mike Brisiel, Joel Dreessen and Neil Rackers? It's fairly clear the Texans were not going to be able to sign/afford Mario Williams. Did this not clear up enough room to get some of these key players back? It just feels like the Texans just don't care.

Paul Kuharsky: Teams don’t operate on fans’ timetables.

The Texans have re-signed Arian Foster and Chris Myers now. Brisiel, Dreessen and Rackers are nice pieces, but hardly urgent. So you let them see the market. If they hit the lottery, you say congrats. If they don’t, you wind up in a favorable position to get them back.

Why make the jump to “they don’t care?” Why wouldn’t they care?

Chris in Washington, D.C., writes: Your Tennessee bias has been on astounding display over the past week. Could you make it any clearer that you hope Peyton goes there? Last I checked, this is an AFC South blog, not a Titans blog. You should write accordingly. As a journalist, I don't have a whole lot of respect for your coverage right now. Or maybe ESPN "bloggers" should be held to a lesser standard?

Paul Kuharsky: Peyton Manning is the biggest story in sports right now. He’s not considering playing for Jacksonville or Houston. The Colts cut him, so any post about his potential landing spot is of interest to Indianapolis. I’d be writing a great deal about him even if one of his primary suitors was not in the division. But it is.

I’ve written about the goings on with other teams.

None, right now, have nearly as much going on as the Titans do.

That’s how it works -- the biggest story and most active team gets the most attention. When the Texans were in the playoffs, it was them. When the Colts were deciding on Manning, it was them. As the Titans court Manning, it’s them.

Bo from Spearfish writes: With Jax signing a decent WR (Robinson) and Mincey to stay at DE, what’s their first-round priority? CB? Or do they protect Gabbert with an OL pick. I personally would still prefer another set of hands opposite Robinson.

Paul Kuharsky: You can’t force a priority on a first-round pick, but they still need a big time pass-rusher and a corner. But wide receiver trumps all in my eyes, especially if Laurent Robinson is all they do in free agency.

Scott in Missoula, Mont., writes: Winston Justice? Really? Why in the world would the Colts take an overpaid, backup OT and give up their position in the sixth round, disregarding for a moment the fact they have Anthony Castonzo and Ben Ijalana, instead of trying to court Evan Mathis, Ben Grubbs and/or Chris Myers, who are proven upper-echelon offensive linemen? Seems like the only positive move Ryan Grigson has had thus far is keeping Reggie Wayne to be Andrew Luck's #1 WR. Your thoughts?

Paul Kuharsky: I think we give Winston a chance, just like we give Grigson and all the newcomers a chance. Ijalana’s hardly a sure thing himself. Grubbs and Myers were pretty costly and the Colts don’t have much money. And swapping sixth-rounders with Philly for Justice was hardly any cost at all.

Barry in Indy writes: I see where some teams offered a 1st or 2nd round tender offer to their FAs. Do you know if the Colts did this with Pierre Garcon? At this point, the Colts need all the draft picks they can get. Thanks in advance!

Paul Kuharsky: Tender offers are for restricted free agents. Teams are able to retain them with a tender offer, which gives them the right to match any offer sheet they might sign or get the draft pick attached to the tender as payback for not matching.

Teams have no power to attach anything to unrestricted free agents. The only thing they stand to get back later is a compensatory draft pick, third round or later, if the sum of their free-agent losses outweighs the sum of their gains. And those come in the draft the following year.

Michael from Cypress, Texas writes: No disrespect to Manning, but I think he'd be a great QB coach at Houston. Can you imagine TJ Yates and Matt Schaub getting tips from Peyton?

Paul Kuharsky: Actually I can’t imagine it at all. Why would he want to do that? He’s going to make a ton of money playing and has a chance to try to win another Super Bowl.

That’s a relief.

The Houston Texans head into the 2012 league year with several difficult choices. But they’ve taken care of one major player, agreeing on a five-year contract with running back Arian Foster, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle and ESPN's Adam Schefter.

That means the team won’t have to use the franchise tag on Foster, who would have been a restricted free agent who could have been lost to an offer sheet at the cost of a first-round pick.

The franchise still has a big list of pending free agents, including outside linebacker Mario Williams, center Chris Myers, guard Mike Brisiel, tight end Joel Dreessen and kicker Neil Rackers.

If the team can’t reach a deal with Williams, he’ll hit the market as the biggest defensive free agent. They cannot afford to use the franchise tag on him as it would be more than $22 million.

The franchise tag number for offensive linemen is the same for tackles, guards and centers — an unreasonably large grouping. The team likely can’t clear roughly $9.5 million to tag Myers either, and a long-term deal for him should now be the priority.

We don’t know Foster’s numbers yet on the five-year deal, but he was due a giant raise after playing as the biggest value in the league the past two seasons. He made $525,000 last season.

Early thoughts on the Texans scheduled to become unrestricted free agents come March 13, with thanks to Mac’s Football Blog, where you can find complete team-by-team lists that include exclusive rights and restricted free agents.

Running back Derrick Ward -- A third-stringer who has good experience and could be important if Arian Foster is lured away with an offer sheet as a restricted free agent.

Tight end Joel Dreessen -- Though largely underrated from the outside, he’s been a nice contributor and certainly has value for the Texans.

OG Mike Brisiel -- A solid starter they’d surely like to keep in order for their very good offensive line to remain intact.

C Chris Myers -- A very valuable cog in the machine and a great system fit, he may have been the best center in the NFL in 2011.

Wide receiver Bryant Johnson -- He was a non-factor as the team’s fourth receiver and they need to upgrade the spot.

Linebacker Tim Dobbins -- Played well when he got on the field, but may find better opportunity elsewhere.

Outside linebacker/defensive end Mario Williams -- If the Texans can’t lock him up before March 13, he will become the biggest prize of the free-agent class. It would be a huge accomplishment to find a way to re-sign him.

Cornerback Jason Allen -- He’s been a virtual “co-starter” with Kareem Jackson and has typically outplayed him. But based on this list, he’s not close to a priority.

Kicker Neil Rackers -- Rackers has been a steady guy for the Texans, who surely would like to keep him rather than shopping for a replacement.

Also UFAs:

• QB Jake Delhomme
• QB Jeff Garcia
• OG Kasey Studdard
• DT Tim Bulman
• S Dominique Barber

Fan results are in for the NFL’s popularity contest -- I mean Pro Bowl fan voting.

Without any ado, here are AFC South players who finished in the top 5:

Running backs: 1) Arian Foster; 2) Maurice Jones-Drew.

Fullbacks: 4) James Casey.

Tight ends: 3) Owen Daniels.

Centers: 5) Jeff Saturday.

Defensive ends: 2) Dwight Freeney; 4) Robert Mathis; 5) Antonio Smith.

Inside linebacker: 2) Pat Angerer; 5) Brian Cushing.

Free safety: 4) Antoine Bethea.

Kicker: 5) Neil Rackers.

That’s it. That’s the list.

Angerer did very well on a team with the worst record in the NFL. He's the surprise here, and worthy of his standing.

Fan voting counts a third toward the creation of the Pro Bowl teams, as does the vote of coaches and players.

Results come out Tuesday and we will cover it thoroughly.

Reading the coverage ...

Houston Texans

The loss to Carolina might have been a wake-up call, and it will be good for the Texans to play again quickly on Thursday night in Indianapolis, says John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.

Gary Kubiak is concerned about Neil Rackers’ recent misses, says McClain.

Jeremy Shockey is clueless about the Texans’ patriotism, says McClain. McClain's never seen a team do so much for the military.

Indianapolis Colts

After a 13-game losing streak, the Colts are now looking to win a second game in a row, says Mike Chappell.

Donald Brown is breaking out, the Colts lined up with Mike Murphy’s numerical formula and Bill Polian wants young playmakers, says Phil Richards.

Nate Dunlevy of 18to88.com has crunched the numbers and says if the Colts are 2-14 and tied with St. Louis and/or Minnesota for the NFL’s worst record, Indy can’t lose the tiebreaker for the No. 1 pick.

Bartending will be in high demand for Indianapolis’ Super Bowl, says Dana Hunsinger Benbow.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Even fellow players on the defense don’t always know who’s lining up in the defensive backfield for the Jaguars at this point, writes Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union.

Late on this one, but it’s significant: Shahid Khan said he’s willing to pay what it takes to lure the right guy to Jacksonville as the Jaguars’ next coach, says Vito Stellino of the Times-Union.

Tennessee Titans

As long as Matt Hasselbeck is healthy, he’ll remain the starter, says Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean.

Chris Johnson came out of the Colts’ game with an injured ankle but it won’t keep him out of the lineup, says Wyatt.

My anti-Pro Bowl stance has been spelled out in this space multiple times, and I’ve avoided updates on fan voting until now.

But since fan voting ends soon, I figured I’d offer a look of where AFC South players stand. Titans fans will be unhappy as they have no one in the top five anywhere. But who's deserving, really?

Here's everyone from the division who ranks in the top five at his position:

• Running back: 1. Arian Foster; 2. Maurice Jones-Drew.
• Fullback: 5. James Casey.
• Tight end: 3. Owen Daniels.
• Center: 5. Jeff Saturday.
• Defensive end: 2. Dwight Freeney; 3. Robert Mathis; 4. Antonio Smith.
• Inside linebacker: 2. Pat Angerer; 4. Brian Cushing.
• Free safety: 4. Antoine Bethea.
• Kicker: 4. Neil Rackers; 5. Josh Scobee.

Fan voting counts for one third of the results and runs through Dec. 19. Player voting and coach voting comes later and holds similar weight.

Ultimately remember this: With the Super Bowl participants uninvolved in the game and injured guys and superstars dropping out, a whole bunch of guys who are hardly all-stars will be part of it.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jaguars blew a great chance to take control of their game against the Texans in the first half, but perhaps an injury to Matt Leinart creates the possibility of a rare comeback.

Houston’s top-ranked defense hardly looks worthy of the standing.

At the half, it’s 20-10 Texans.

Jacksonville put together an excellent second-quarter drive with consecutive plays of 31 yards, 25 yards and 14 yards. But a wide open Marcedes Lewis dropped a touchdown pass from Blaine Gabbert and the Jaguars had to settle for a 10-7 lead off a field goal.

Things went south from there.

• A 42-yard punt return from Jacoby Jones put the Texans in great field position and set up a 2-yard Leinart to Joel Dreessen touchdown pass.
• Gabbert forced a deep ball up the right side where three defenders were around Jason Hill. Johnathan Joseph’s 29-yard return set up a Neil Rackers 53-yard field goal.
• Josh Scobee missed a 55-yard field goal wide right with 1:45 left in the first half.
• Jeremy Mincey knocked Leinart out of the game, at least temporarily. The Texans have not officially disclosed what the injury is, but it looked to be his throwing shoulder. T.J. Yates took over for the remainder of the final drive, which produced a 33-yard Rackers field goal and the 10-point halftime lead.

Long distance field-goal attempts are finding their way through the uprights at a fantastic rate.

Mark Simon of ESPN Stats & Information says overall field-goal attempts are being converted at nearly 86 percent, which would break the season record of 84.5 in 2008.

The NFL success rate on field-goal attempts of 40 to 49 yards this season is 78.0 percent, a rate that would be better than the current mark of 74.5 percent set in 2008.

And the success rate on kicks of 50 yards or more is 71.4 percent.

According to Simon, if kickers maintain their current success rate and pace (45 field goals of 50+ yards in 116 games), it’s possible for there to be 100 field goals made from at least 50 yards this season. The current pace would produce 99. That would shatter the current mark of 66 makes from 50-plus yards set in 2008.

The AFC South fraternity of kickers is doing its part to contribute to the big numbers.

• Jacksonville’s Josh Scobee is 9-for-9 on attempts of 40 yards or longer (including 5-for-5 from 50-plus)
• Tennessee’s Rob Bironas is 4-for-5 from 40 yards or longer (including 2-for-3 from 50-plus)
• Indianapolis’ Adam Vinatieri is 4-for-6 from 40 or longer (including 2-for-3 from 50-plus)
• Houston’s Neil Rackers is 2-for-4 (including 1-for-1 from 50-plus)

That’s 19-for-24 combined, a rate of 79.2.

Not too shabby.

Simon said historically percentages don't drop off, though I would think some cold-weather games would make it more difficult to maintain the pace. But only six of the AFC South's remaining 33 games look to have a chance of being played in real winter weather.

Reading the coverage ...

Houston Texans

Antonio Smith, Neil Rackers and Matt Leinart see similarities between the Texans and the 2008 Super Bowl Cardinals. Jeffrey Martin of the Houston Chronicles explains. Says Rackers: "We have a quarterback [Matt Schaub] that leads by example, which is something we had in Arizona. And we have a lot of young guys, similar to Arizona, that were really good, but didn't quite know how good they can be. The talent on this team is amazing."

Indianapolis Colts

The Colts are enduring the longest dry spell in takeaways in franchise history. Much of the problem is that a slew of young guys in the secondary are still getting accustomed to the speed of the NFL, say Mike Chappell and Phil Richards. "Right now we're not playing as fast as we need to play against the caliber of opposition that we're playing against. We're a step behind," defensive coordinator Larry Coyer said.

Jacksonville Jaguars

As the Jaguars (2-5) and Texans (4-3) jostle for position in the AFC South in Houston, the game will feature two top-10 defenses, one year removed from when they were two of the worst in the NFL. Jacksonville hopes to duplicate what it did against the Ravens, says Tania Ganguli of the Times-Union. "That's not a fluke," defensive tackle Terrance Knighton said. "We expect the same results when we go to Houston."

Tennessee Titans

Jason Jones’ move from tackle to end hasn’t paid off yet for the Titans' defense. “You’re using to being banged on,” defensive line coach Tracy Rocker told John Glennon of The Tennessean. “But now it’s about learning to turn the corner and rush off the edge instead of everything happening so quickly in the pocket.” Confession from me: I’m wondering if the move was a mistake.

FALLING

1. Matt Turk, Jacksonville Jaguars punter: The Jaguars pride themselves on having a good special-teams unit. They were without one of their premier special-teamers, Kassim Osgood, in Carolina; another standout, Montell Owens, probably will be on the injury report this week. The thinking was they’d help Turk look good. But through three games he has a 33.4-yard net punt average and has given up touchbacks on four of his 10 punts. Coach Jack Del Rio said it hasn't been good enough, and if it doesn’t get better, the Jaguars could ponder an alternative.

2. Red zone offense, Houston Texans: That killer instinct I’ve written about repeatedly always comes into question when the Texans settle for field goals. They moved the ball great in New Orleans but stalled when they got close, and then called on Neil Rackers too often. The good news is, no team has been inside the 20 more than Houston (16 trips). But five touchdowns for a .313 percentage in the red zone puts them 30th in the NFL. With their offense, that’s just not sufficient. (It could be worse, though. The Jaguars are dead last in red zone efficiency. They’ve been in the red zone a grand total of one time, when they kicked a field goal.)

3. Quarterback accuracy, Indianapolis Colts: Kerry Collins and Curtis Painter combined to hit on just 18 of 40 passes in the Colts’ loss to Pittsburgh. Each missed open guys at crucial moments. The stat sheet says Reggie Wayne was targeted 13 times, which is as it should be. But he caught only three passes for 24 yards, which is something we can really second-guess. Painter missed a wide open Pierre Garcon on a play that could have changed the game. We’re not going to get anything close to Peyton Manning out of these guys. But whoever is under center needs to get the ball in the hands of Wayne, Austin Collie, Dallas Clark and Garcon.

RISING

1. Pat Angerer, Indianapolis Colts linebacker: In a game in which the Colts' defense really woke up and made things work, Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis led the line and harassed Ben Roethlisberger. Angerer keyed the second level. Game statisticians credited him with 21 tackles, twice as many as anyone else in the game. And he added one on special teams for good measure. He was constantly around the ball, and he wasn’t collecting “cheap” tackles by jumping in late or from behind.

2. James Casey, Houston Texans fullback: It’s still early to rate the tight end-turned-fullback as a run-blocker. But getting him on the field gives the Texans another high-quality pass-catcher. The Saints struggled to cover him, leaving him alone on a 62-yard reception. And his diving 26-yard touchdown catch was just beautiful. Casey finished with five catches for 126 yards, just two fewer than the best receiver in the NFL, Andre Johnson. Casey is a matchup issue for everyone the Texans will face. Treat him like a fullback and opponents may suffer for it when he motions out and runs routes like a receiver.

3. Jurrell Casey, Tennessee Titans defensive tackle: He can rush the passer better, but the rookie is a big piece of a defense that currently holds the No. 1 ranking in the NFL. He was one of the guys who stopped Willis McGahee in a fourth-quarter goal-line stand against Denver. As a run-stopper, he’s an influential guy who has potential to get even better as he gets more comfortable and confident.

NEW ORLEANS -- Thoughts on the Texans’ loss to the Saints at the Superdome.

What it means: The Texans reverted to their old ways, failing to put away an opponent when they were playing well enough to do just that. They gave the Saints life and watched an offense even better than theirs take advantage of the opportunity. They’ll say it was just one failure against one very good team at one very tough venue, but it’s hard not to take it as symbolic. At 2-1, Houston’s got the same record as Tennessee atop the AFC South.

Fast, fast, fast: The Texans nearly matched the Saints’ furious pace but ultimately could not keep up. They gave up the lead three times in the second half and could only take it back twice. A Matt Schaub interception helped turn the tide. He took a sack on third-and-15 at the very end as well.

If there is a silver lining: I think the Saints are going to win their second Super Bowl in three seasons. If they are one of the NFC’s best teams, ultimately there will be no shame in having lost to them at their building. But it’s still going to sting to the Texans as one that got away.

Too much: Neil Rackers saw far too much action, booting four field goals. If the Texans were more effective with their scoring chances, they’d have put the game out of range.

Injury concern: He returned to action, but a second-half right leg injury to Mario Williams could be a concern going forward. He flexed the knee over and over on the sideline before he returned to action.

What’s next: The Texans host Pittsburgh at Reliant Stadium and get to see for themselves if the Steelers are aging. They’ll get a measuring stick on the Steelers tonight when they play the Colts.
