"Houston defensive coordinator Wade Phillips says his renovation of the Texans' defense begins with the draft. The Texans took Wisconsin defensive end J.J. Watt with the 11th overall pick Thursday night, and Phillips said the team won't stop there as they try to bolster a unit that ranked 30th in yards allowed last season. "We still need some more defensive players," Phillips said. "'What's best for the team is what's best for me' - I don't mean that. I think it's clear that we need a lot of defense in this draft." Phillips is hoping that the 6-foot-5, 290-pound Watt develops into a solid complement for Mario Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in 2006 and Houston's all-time sacks leader. Watt made 43 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, including 111/2 sacks, in 26 games at Wisconsin. A former tight end, Watt transferred there after playing one season at Central Michigan. He entered the draft after two seasons with the Badgers. Watt knows, as a first-round pick, that he'll be expected to contribute immediately. "No one has higher expectations for me than I do," Watt said in a conference call on Thursday night. "I am going to come in and give it everything I have, and at the end of the day, I hope it helps the team win football games because, that is what it's all about.""
