NFL Draft 2010: Day 3

El Tejano

El Tejano

Hall of Fame
Who's left and who do we take?

I would like Matt Tenant C Boston College, or Reshad Jones FS/SS George with our first 4th rounder.

Then we can go with Marshall Newhouse G TCU, Lagarrett Blount RB Oregon, the Hernandez kid TE from Florida, or even Akwasi Owusu-Ansah CB IPA with our late 4th rounder.

Brandon Deaderick DT Alabama, Justin Woodall S Alabama, David Pender CB Purdue, Garrett Graham TE Wisconsin in the 5th

Lamarcus Coker RB Hampton, Myron Rolle S Florida St. with our first 6th

John Skelton QB Fordham, with our last 6th or 7th pick.
 
I would like to spend our two 4th's on Haynesworth

I don't get the fascination with Haynesworth. He does not play full seasons, takes plays off, and unless he is playing for a 1 year contract he is not that special. Do we really want a guy who may give us 12 games a year?
 
I'd love for us to pick up some interior OL here. I'd like to get either Reshad Jones or Robert Johnson but I wonder if we need to nab the FS with our 1st or 2nd pick in the 4th.

There're just so many options still available.

Agreed

Even with his warts Big Al would still be the best DT in Texans history.

That tells you the Texans cant pick a DT to save their lives. Give me a proven Big Al over a Smithiak DT draft pick any day and twice on Sunday.
 
AOA, Tennant, Petrus, Campbell, Rolle, R. Jones, R. Johnson...lots of guys. We will get players in the next three picks that will make the roster IMO.

30. C.J. Wilson, DE, East Carolina
31. Jason Fox, OT, Miami (FL)
32. Mike Williams, WR, Syracuse
 
Like the write on Miami's OT, John Fox:

Strengths:
A large frame with long arms --- Very Athletic --- Nimble Feet --- Able to slide and mirror --- Good balance and agility --- Technically sound and understands positioning, angles and leverage --- Mobile with the ability to work in space and get to the second level --- Flashes a nasty temperament --- Smart with nice awareness and instincts --- Offers some versatility --- Hard Worker --- Has a lot of high-quality experience.

Weaknesses:
Just average bulk --- Must get stronger --- Is not real powerful --- Not overly stout at the point of attack --- Won't get a huge push in the run game --- Lacks a violent initial punch --- Some health / durability issues.

Notes:
Was a four-year starter for the Hurricanes --- Named 1st Team All-ACC in 2009 --- Served as a team captain --- Also played tight end in high school --- Missed one game in 2006 with a dislocated elbow --- Missed one game in 2008 with a sprained ankle --- 2009 season was cut short by an irregular heartbeat and a knee injury that required surgery --- Is capable of playing tackle, guard or perhaps even center --- Profiles as a potential starter at the next level and best fit will likely come in a zone blocking scheme --- Similar in many ways to former 'Cane Eric Winston.

sounds like a Smith/Kubiak type of pick. Seems like he should've gone higher. Health concerns making him fall?
 
Greg Hardy is intriguing to me as a later pick. He has 1st or 2nd Round talent but has had some injury problems. If he can stay healthy he could be a steal. Of course, I know that is a big IF.

well more than one way to skin a cat fish.

With Alan Faneca being shopped and likely to be cut, Ducasse could be plugged in readily at the left guard position and help establish a more powerful ground attack. Ducasse has long arms, good feet and power in his body and can move defenders off the line of scrimmage. He could be groomed inside for a year and eventually replace Damien Woody.

St. Louis has already snagged an OT
Minnesota's line is solid already
Tampa might grab him, but if not....

...do we take Campbell??
 
Dominique Franks
Perrish Cox
Arthur Jones
Geno Atkins
Jonathon Dwyer
AOA
Matt Tennant
Kam Chancellor
Donovan Warren
Mitch Petrus

Here is my list of players to go get this round.

I know we'd be doubling up in some areas but you know, throw it at the wall and see if it sticks.
 
Well 4th round you can start looking at projects, so Campbell comes into the equation.

If we can get a S who can play in this round and then get a upside pick to develop I think we'd have done good.
 
I'd like to add debth to the O-line and FS or CB positions if the right guys are avaliable.

I'm really hoping we pick up either perrish or Warren with our first pick then trade our 5th and 6th for a mid 4th . If we do that to me our draft will be a well played draft by me. But what do u know I'm no draft expert.
 
I´d be really fine with Campbell! That dude is an atheltic freak and was projected as a potential first round pick... I guess he has some issues, and might be a project, but I think you can take a little gamble with a 4th.

DB would be another position I´d adress here. A lot of CBs are said to be potential safeties, so I´d just take the best DB available here... several interesting guys like Franks, AOA or Warren are still on the board.

Perhaps a Center like Tennant later?
 
Man, every time someone mentions Bruce Campbell all I can think of is the Evil Dead movies. LOL

Maybe if we can tie a chain saw to his arm he'd clear a nice hole for Slate 'n Tate.
 
Some guys who have been linked to the Texans:

Robert Johnson - FS - Utah
Robert McClain - CB - UConn
Erik Cook - C- New Mexico
LaMarcus Coker - RB - Hampton

Cook (whose brother Ryan in a NFL lineman) is an interesting prospect in that he has played all 3 o-line spots. At 6'6", Erik might be too tall to play Center in the NFL. But, he would be valuable backup, with his versatility.

One guy I like later in the draft is Oklahoma's Brian Jackson. Like Eugene Wilson, he is a college CB who's lack of top speed will likely force a move to FS. I think Jackson is another guy who's versatility would serve well on a 53 man roster.

The higher the number the better I am assuming....

Although not sure what is up with Tennant getting such a low number.

Griffen finally goes. I feel kind of bad for these guys who thought they might go on day 1 and drop into the 4th...
 
Jason Fox, Adam Ulatoski, Mitch Petrus
Jonathan Dwyer, Charles Scott
Jay Ross, Geno Atkins
AOA, Brian Jackson
Aaron Hernandez, Kerry Meier

Lets see what the Texans do here. That 3rd round pick really shook me (and the second thing was just ok), they need to have a good day to make up for it.
