Official TexansTalk NFL 2010 Mock Draft

[Texan4Ever]

With the 22nd overall pick the New England Patriots select....

Brandon Graham, OLB from Michigan





The Patriots aren't known for taking 3-4 OLBs in the first round but Graham changes that. He has the quickness and speeding rushing ability not seen since Dwight Freeney was drafted back in 2002. The Steelers took LaMarr Woodley from Michigan and were able to successfully convert him into a 3-4 OLB, so Graham should be able to do the same as he is MORE talented then Woodley (no disrespect to him either).

I think Mays is about right in where he was taken, huge talent, questionable production.... although I blame the lack of talent around him for the down year.

I'd love to hear what Cushing thinks of him as a prospect.

Graham is great value for the Patriots here.

Here's a tidbit from Cush's blog.

My former SC teammate Taylor Mays has been under the microscope lately since the Combine. All I can tell you is he’s a hard worker, a solid kid who wants to play football. Whatever his time was in the 40, he’s a guy who could catch anyone on the football field. I saw him plenty of times, if anyone on the other team got loose, he was the last line of defense and always made the tackle. There’s absolutely no question that I would be thrilled to have him on our team.

Anyone have an nfl prospect list in excel format?

You guys are KILLING ME HERE.

I was planning on taking Kyle Wilson with this pick.

I'm working on it. Hold on for a little bit.

Not yet. It's too soon and I've been too busy recently to put one together.

Good enough for me..... draft him.

[The Pencil Neck]

This was really tough on me.

One of the Packer's needs is a change-up type of back to go with Grant. But, according to Packer fans, this is a fairly low priority to them.

Their offensive line was CRAP last year. They need a left tackle.

So.

With the 23rd pick, the Green Bay Packers select:



Bruce Campbell, LT, Maryland Terrapins.

bust.

[The Pencil Neck]

This pretty much gives the Eagles Westbrook's replacement.

I have been waiting for this day to enjoy a private laugh publicly, for that I thank you.

I can understand an upside pick but I don't like prospects which explode into the national spotlight in shorts.

No RBs taken in the first 22 picks? That won't happen in real life. There'll be an RB or two taken before us at 20. Not that I care, because I want another defensive player in the 1st round anyway.

He's raw but he's an athletic freak.

He's had a history of injury and he could well be a bust.

The Packers run a zone blocking scheme and need athletic linemen. And this guy is that.

But the odds are, he's gone in the top 15 picks. So this is a value pick.

Last happened in 2004, Stephen Jackson 24th

[TexCanada]

So Spiller to the Eagles then? They have some fantastic playmakers on that team if it happens.

I'll bet money it doesn't happen this year. But hey, you never know. If it does, maybe there'll be a hot RB waiting for us in the 2nd round.

Just protecting the integrity of my fellow fake GMs work. I believe we take Matthews at 20.

Our secondary has been inconsistent, at best, for the past few years. Now that D-Rob's gone it leaves the Texans little choice but to make CB a priority in the first couple of rounds unless they pull one out of their arse within the next month.

All that said.....let the barrage of HOU-TEX beatings begin

With the 20th pick of the 2010 NFL Draft the Houston Texans select:

Kyle Wilson CB, Boise State

Sometimes a need at one position can be overlooked in favor of tremendous talent at another position. Our gaping hole at CB can't be overlooked in favor of tremendous talent elsewhere. We have no #1CB or anyone that's even close. This pick fills our biggest need and was an outstanding choice. A good RB (Ben Tate) can easily be had in the 2nd or 3rd round.
