2009 Texans Talk Member Mock Draft

[Blake]

Via PM HOU-TEX and the Miami Dolphins select: Rashad Johnson, S, Alabama

[The Pencil Neck]

Sorry, guys. Didn't realize I was up.

I'll have my pick in a few minutes.

I've got some hard choices to make.

[The Pencil Neck]

With the 45 pick, the New York Giants take:



Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers

With Toomer probably retiring and who knows what happening with Burress, this is a huge need position. I have other defensive needs to take care of but I couldn't pass up Wells in the first and I can't pass up Britt here.

[LORK 88]

The Houston Texans select: PATRICK CHUNG, SS, OREGON



An athletic, hard hitting safety who plays a lot bigger than his size is. He loves to hit and play an in-the-box style of game, but can also drop back into coverage and make plays. He's a good compliment to go next to Eugene Wilson as both give us athleticism that we've never had at the safety positions. This was an easy pick, there's no way he should of lasted this long but I won't complain.

I have been thinking lately that we should wait until the second round to get a DE. Look at this mock, Paul Kruger DE Utah, Robert Ayers DE Tennessee, Connor Barwin DE Cincinati, Cody Brown DE Connecticut are all still available in the second round at our pick. Is there that big of a a difference in E Brown and Barwin or Cody Brown? Kruger and Ayers seem more like ends we would be looking for than any of those guys. Plus Matt Shaughnessy could be available later if we wanted to trade down again.

So far
1.) E Brown DE Florisa ST
2.) Patrick Chung SS Oregon

Not that I dont like them but I would rather have taken Brandon Pettigrew TE or Jeremy Maclin, WR or LeSean McCoy, RB or James Laurinaitis, LB or Peria Jerry, DT or Max Unger, C in the first round and taken Kruger or Ayers in the second.

IMO we would get better production out of any combination that I listed over Brown and Chung.

I like this kid a lot, but not sure if I like him for the Texans. I want someone who is a ball hawk in coverage, and I just did not see that in him. Saw a lot of other strengths, which you have mentioned.

During the season I agree, but during the practices of the senior bowl they had him doing coverages and it is one reason his stock was/is rising.

Chung is a little stiff in the hips, I think he struggles in coverage plus he gambles, relies on angles lacks make-up speed. competitive adds toughness better sutied to SS than FS. Dominique Barber is a similar player already made the roster as a 6th rd. pick

And if memory serves me not many were happy with that pick at the time.

Its tough drafting for the Texans because everyone wants something else.

I think Brown was a good first round pick, its just crazy when a good DE like Paul Kruger is available for us in the 2nd. I probably would have taken Sean Smith over Chung though.

I would be ecstatic if a player like Rey, Orakpo or Jenkins dropped to us in the first, and got Paul Kruger in the 2nd. Tack on walterfootball.com's 3rd and 4th round picks for us and I would be in heaven.

lets take a look - http://www.texanstalk.com/forums/arc...p/t-49804.html

rmartin65 not a big fan

No! This is the first pick I truly dislike. Should have gone after a pass rusher, there wont be many in the 7th. Maybe none.

or J-Russ

Not happy with this. How many strong safety do we need?

but some thought different like WesmanTexanfan

I like this pick, if he is half as intense as his bro he'll be knockin the ball out of many hands....

Kastofsna

a 6th rounder who's a good athlete with decent upside. pretty much all you can ask for in this round.

or if your implying myself

forget about timed speed he keeps the play in front reads then quick to react. I think he is a Rhodes pick. oh yeah tough as hell a converted hockey player

[Blake]

The New England Patriots Select: Coye Francies, CB, San Jose State

[JCTexan]

The San Diego Chargers select Ron Brace, DT, Boston College.

DT is the most important position in the 3-4 defense. DT's usually take some time to groom, & Jamal Williams might only have two years left in him. So Brace will likely have time to develope while he learns under Williams.

[Blake]

The draft is up to date HERE or in my signature.

[Specnatz]

With the 49th pick the Chicago Bears select:

Josh Freeman QB Kansas St. 6'6 238 Jr.


No explanation needed really, the Bears have had crappy to just not screwing it up play for a very very long time. Is Freeman a can't miss QB prospect? No but he is already #2 on the depth chart and he has yet to sign his contract.

[threetoedpete]

I think you guys have done a very fine job with this mock.

[bah007]

In an ironic twist of fate, first round pick Jeremy Maclin will be reunited with a former teammate.

Tampa Bay was hoping that Josh Freeman would fall to their pick only to have him snatched up when he was one pick away.

With the #50 overall pick, the Tampa Bay Bucs select.....

Evander Hood - DT, Missouri


Hood has a quick first step for a DT and as he proved at the Senior Bowl practices, he is very skilled at hand fighting in the trenches and easily slips off one-on-one blocks. He also possesses the killer instinct and nonstop motor that can turn a good player into a great one.

He has powerful legs but doesn't use enough leverage at times. With some solid coaching, he can provide a solid push in the middle of the line for the Bucs.
