2009 Texans Talk Member Mock Draft - Page 16 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

Texan in Japan · 02-07-2009

Sorry, folks I'm in Washington State at Ft Lewis going through Combat Skills Training, but...

With their first pick (#23) the New England Patriots select James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State

Texan JBZ · 02-07-2009

With the 24th pick, the Atlanta Falcons select BRIAN CUSHING, OLB, USC.

Explanation: I really had my eyes set on Brandon Pettigrew with this selection, but for some strange reason the Jets selected a TE in the 1st for the second year in a row. Go figure. Pettigrew would have solidified the offensive side of the ball for the Falcons for a decade and give QB Matt Ryan prolific weapons all over the field. I also thought about selecting Peria Jerry at this pick seeing that Grady Jackson isn't getting any younger. But Cushing makes the most sense. The Falcons are not bringing back UFA LB Michael Boley. Boley played out of position at the Sam LB position last year and his production fell off dramactically. Cushing gives the Falcons a perfect fit for that position, and gives the Falcons a strong core of LBs with Curtis Lofton and the underrated Keith Brooking. Look for the Falcons to go after a DT in the 2nd.

Good pick! I could really see him as a fit there.

Blake · 02-08-2009

HOU-TEX, TexansSeminole and TimeKiller are up next.

Thanks! I like JL for several teams, but he seems to be the versatile kind of LB that the Patriots love. With Mayo last year and Lauriniatis this year, the Pats will have gone a long way to refreshing their LBing corps.

Ole Miss Texan · 02-08-2009

With Laurinaitis, I see a real blue collar hard working team player. I think he should do well in a 3-4 system like New England (and just seems like a Bellichek kinda guy). Good time to select him, especially for a playoff calibre team like NE. Should be a late first rounder or maybe an early 2nd rounder at worst, imo. Nice selection.

Wow, there were some awful picks there. Well, not awful I guess. Just some I really disagree with.

Nope. You were right the first time. Some of those are just plain awful.

You two want to share with us what picks you disagree on? Not that I disagree that there are some awful picks in that mock. I disagree with the Wells pick & the Freeman pick to name a couple. How about you guys?

The obvious. Houston Texans select Beenie Wells.

Those 2, and Detroit picking Delmas at 20. Raji to the Jags is interesting, but not necessarily bad. And I am not high on Oher.

TexansSeminole · 02-09-2009

Just prior to the Miami Dolphins pick we have learned of a trade between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals will lose:
#38 : 520 points
#70 : 240 points
Total : 760 points

The Ravens will lose:
#26 : 700 points
#122 : 50 points
Total: 750 points

After Hou-Tex picks imatexan will be on the clock.

**HOU-TEX** · 02-09-2009

I'm here. Give me a few minutes to gather this weekends info.

TimeKiller · 02-09-2009

:twiddles thumbs:

I should've gotten a team with a higher pick....this is mega-boring hahah....I can only imagine the paper-flying, phone-screaming, utter sense of chaos in the half hour surrounding a teams' pick.

**HOU-TEX** · 02-09-2009

Whoops!

**HOU-TEX** · 02-09-2009

With the 25th pick of the 2009 NFL draft, the Miami Doplhins select: Alex Mack , C out of Cal.

OK, there was a serious run of LB's over the weekend. I was really hoping Laurinaitis would keep falling.

My plan would be to move the smaller and often over-powered Satele to G. Mack has the size and power to take on the larger NT's.

Other players that were considered were: Alphonso Smith (CB), Larry English (DE/OLB) and Darrius Heyward-Bey (WR)

My apologies for the hold up.

My goodness, I would love to be a fly on that wall just seeing what all goes down. I'm sure there's a healthy dose of some curse words flying around as well.

Oooh, surprise pick by the Dolphins!

TimeKiller · 02-09-2009

Fly on the wall yes...

Particpant? Man, I don't know...it would be a crazy opportunity/experience but one that I would be hesitant to go through with...

WolverineFan · 02-09-2009

Great pick by the Dolphins. Mack, IMO, is the most polished and experienced O-Lineman in the draft this year.
