I think it's moving along so wel because everybody had a team that they did research on before the Combine.

This is the best MB mock that I've participated in. Thanks everybody for putting forth the effort to know your teams and making your picks in a timely fashion.

That's the difficulty of the decision, isn't it? If Myers or Brisiel are gone the pick here is Konz (imo). If both are re-signed then the pick is Worthy or a WR (Randle or Hill). It looks like the consensus right now is Konz. Any objections before I make it official?

I'm against the Konz pick...I just watched some more clips of him and I'm not impressed...I'd much rather have Randle who looks like he will be a solid pro for years.

[WolverineFan]

Pretty much comes down to whichever you think is a bigger need. If we lose Myers or Brisiel then OL is a bigger need than WR, in part because WR is deeper and a quality prospect could be acquired in the 2nd round.

If you believe we re-sign both OL guys then Randle should be the pick. If you think we don't then Konz should be the pick and take a WR in the 2nd.

[MistaRed]

My choice for the Texans is Mark Barron.

[kiwitexansfan]

Mark Barron would be a horrible pick.

Manning and Quin are good enough to get it done.

I am ok with Konz.

I would be looking at Perry just because pass rushers are king in the 3-4.

I think that we assume that Briesel or Myers is leaving, that we can't trust Caldwell and make Konz official.

We can get a decent WR later.

I'm voting for Perry (no not that one). It never hurts to have a bunch of good pass-rushers.

That may be true if you like Konz...I don't, so I don't care what the bigger need is...I wouldn't take him..

I think Zeitler is a better interior lineman (but Konz has more versatility), but he's off the board already...

With the 26th pick the Houston Texans select...



Peter Konz, OL, Wisconsin.

Not sure this would be a popular pick come draft day, even if we lose Myers and/or Briesel.

But you build from the inside out to win championships.

Konz warms the cackles on my neck.

[Wolf6151]

I'd prefer Stephen Hill but I have no problem with Peter Konz as long as he can play OG as well.

[Shaft75]

So how did we come to the conclusion of drafting Konz? Is there a head count or what?

I thought everyone was pretty mixed on this. Shouldn't every owner get a chance to bring their input before we make it official?

A poll that stays open for 12 hours, all MB voters can vote?

Konz
Randle
Perry
Barron

as options....

Well come draft day Duane Brown and J.J. Watt were both booed by many Texans fans. OL picks are never the "sexy" choice but they are the most important unit on a roster IMO. If we lose Myers we need to add a talented guy in the middle to replace him.

I think a mazimum of 10 options can be used...might as well use them all..

Someone make a poll with the top couple names- Barron, Konz, Randle, Perry.

Add in Hill and I'm good with that. You should start it up Kiwi.
