the ravens 3rd round pick(89th overall) and 6th round pick(173rd overall).

BSofA04 · 04-26-2008

F-ing stupid. Not a good selection at all....what a f-ing reach. Not liking this pick at all...just about all the peeps we wanted have gone to other teams.

Worst. draft. ever. I can't believe I waiting this long for this guy.

A 3rd and 6th. I was at least hoping for Mike Jenkins. Damnit Texans!

yes...im pissed that we took the EIGHTH BEST TACKLE over Cason and phillips. Im pissed mendenhall fell to us by some miracle and we threw him away for a 3rd and a 6th...and then BLEW a first round pick. Screw this. Screw Gibbs. This is a pathetic reach.

Mr. White · 04-26-2008

I'm seeing the logic here now.

He had a 2nd round grade, but we didn't have a 2nd round pick.

So we reached.

Feel free to root for other teams as well.

BSofA04 · 04-26-2008

Brown was a reach though....ALL THE LEGIT FIRST ROUND TACKLES WERE GONE....WE F-ING REACHED ON BROWN!

Less sacks? A better offense? Championships?

Football Futures write-up

Duane Brown OT 6’5 308 Virginia Tech
By: Robert Davis
Brown signed on with the Hokies as a tight end. He redshirted his first year in the program, then caught three passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in his first season on the field. He was moved to offensive tackle before the 2005 season, and moved into the starting lineup at right tackle. He’s been a starter at tackle since.

Brown is a very good athlete, and has a lot of upside because of his natural ability. He was a tight end just two years ago, so he has the natural athleticism, quickness, and lateral agility to be a quality pass protector in the NFL. Brown has been a solid performer on the field, but it is the upside that entices teams.

This is just his third season on the offensive line, so he is definitely a work in progress. He is relying on his talent and intensity right now because of his inexperience. He lacks consistency on the field, and may need time to develop before he steps on to the field. Brown will also need to continue to get stronger in the NFL to develop a more well rounded game.

Duane Brown has a lot of upside, and that may cause him to be taken earlier than his on field performance has shown to date. The natural gifts he has project very well to the left side in the NFL, and everyone is looking for a left tackle that can keep the quarterback standing.

^^^

Reminds me of the Spencer pick w/o the "big nasty" quality to it.

seriously, no one even knows anything about him but they complain. I mean, Spencer wasn't expected to do much but he was fine until he got injured. We just won't know until he plays. Look forward to Matt Forte in the 3rd unless we trade to get a pick in the second.

TexansSeminole · 04-26-2008

It's all about if this guy can come in and produce. If he can be an efficient LT of the future I am ok with the pick, if not I am mad that we passed on Mendenhall.

We may be able to get a good RB like Matt Forte in the 3rd round. Either way, we need a corner in our next 2 or 3 picks.

At least we traded down this time.

**Thorn** · 04-26-2008

Aw for Christs sakes. What happened to the old We Trust Rick Smith ****? Maybe this guy has something we aren’t looking at.

b0ng · 04-26-2008

This is probably one of those "Athletic quick fast" linemen. So basically I'm happy with it, because I wanted a lineman. It's not the name that I want, but all of you guys who are crying remember that the '06 and '07 drafts were awesome.

In Kubes we trust.
