How Houston Texans draft strategy may borrow page from DeMeco's glory days

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans garnered a lot of attention this week when asked about the team's approach to the Draft on The Rich Eisen Show. What was surprising about his answer is that he didn't mention any of the QBs in this year's draft.
Ryans said the Texans have a QB on the roster, and they need to add to that position, but his comments got us wondering.
DeMeco was a big part of the most impressive Texans rebuild to date. In 2006, the Texans drafted Mario Williams, DeMeco Ryans, Eric Winston, and Owen Daniels among others, changing the trajectory of the team.
The Texans waited until 2007 to trade for Matt Schaub, after David Carr flamed out in 2006. With that in mind, could Ryans be looking at this rebuild as a blueprint he can use over the next two years?
Plus, would ownership be okay with passing on QB with no face of the franchise to speak of?
