HOUSTON (CBS HOUSTON) – During Texans All Access on Texans Radio on SportsRadio 610 Bill O’Brien talked with Marc Vandermeer about the draft process, his new quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and the quarterback’s from last year’s roster.

“You have to get the young man in a room and interview him,” O’Brien said about judging which quarterbacks will be right for drafting. “Try to do the best you can decide whether this guy will be able to handle [being NFL quarterback] or not.”

The Texans are going to draft a quarterback at some point. O’Brien admitted that on Monday. But QB is not the only place the Texans need to improve in through the draft.

“We need more running backs,” O’Brien said. “Right now we don’t have enough. We’ll do a good job of drafting guys and making sure we have enough in the building when mini-camps start.”

The Texans traded away former starting quarterback Matt Schaub last week, shortly after signing Ryan Fitzpatrick to the roster. That leaves Fitzpatrick, T.J. Yates and Case Keenum on the Texans roster at quarterback heading toward the Draft in May.

“Everyone I’ve spoke to that coached [Fitzpatrick] has had good things to say about him,” O’Brien said of his newest QB. “We are really excited about having him on our roster and really excited about working with him in April.”

“I don’t see why we couldn’t have four guys, including a drafted quarterback, in our camp. Those guys have been told it’s a competition. They’ll get reps and everybody is there to compete. We are trying to put together a very competitive roster.

O’Brien is currently in Orlando for the owners meetings, but will be traveling to College Station for Johnny Manziel’s pro-day on Thursday.
