2012 Texans Talk Mock Draft

[Brandon420tx]

It doesn't, but Arizona is supposed to be in the worst cap situation out of the entire league, They're rumored to be extremely over the cap which means they can't sign Manning without clearing a crap ton.

I overstated that if they could sign Manning and fit him in the cap we should be able to sign Myers and Brisiel (Mario is still iffy to me). It also means we could theoretically sign Mario too, at the cost of many players getting cut, which I don't want, but its possible

OMG...please not in here guys...

This is like the only safe haven from the "Mario to walk or not to walk" talk...

They are in a bad cap situation but they can rectify that easily by cutting their LT Levi Brown. That move alone would clear up $16.5 mil. They've been trying to get him to restructure but he won't so they will likely cut him.

I see the correlation there, but the Texans don't have one guy they can cut that will free up that kind of money. Arizona is just avoiding it right now because they're trying to get a new deal done before the deadline. I expect them to cut him soon, along with a few other overpaid vets, and they will go hard after Manning and Wayne.

With the 57th pick the Denver Broncos select...



Lamar Miller, RB, Miami

Scouting Report:
Balanced athlete with dynamic start/stop ability and smooth change-of-direction skills to stay patient before bursting upfield. Has very good vision and cutback ability, doing a nice job finding the running lanes. Follows his blocks and stays patient behind the line of scrimmage. Accelerates and gets to top speed quickly when he sees daylight. Has nimble feet to make defenders miss and shows an extra gear to run away from them as well. Very good at forcing defenders to take poor angles with his lateral quickness and natural burst. Fast through the hole and a home run threat. Looks most comfortable on the outside and in space.

Damn, I was hoping he would fall to my next pick...

Great value here though, and fills a need.

Lets see what bah does here. Alameda Ta'amu is still available. Just sayin.

Could do worse than that guy.

Although, bah does like to do his own thing

[Dutchrudder]

I say we setup another vote for the fun of it. Who are the top 5-7 players people would vote for in the Texans spot? (not taking anything away from Bah007's selection)

So far I got:

Alameda Ta'amu NT 6'2½" 341 Washington
Ronnell Lewis OLB 6'2" 245 Oklahoma
Brandon Boykin CB 5'9¼" 183 Georgia
Dwayne Allen TE 6'4½" 255 Clemson
Brandon Thompson DT 6'2" 311 Clemson (for 3-4 DE spot)
Mike Martin NT 6'1 306 Michigan
Isaiah Pead RB 5'9⅞" 193 Cincinnati
Shea McLellin OLB 6'3 260 Boise State
Ben Jones C 6'2⅝" 303 Georgia

I know it is a man crush, but Mike Martin (NT, Michigan) has to be in the discussion. I like him better than Ta'amu. I really like Lewis though.

[Rey]

Add Pead or Doug Martin, and Ben Jones (C, Georgia) to the list...

[Blake]

Following our blue-prints, we are going to take another white DE in round 2.

Shea McClellin, DE, Boise State

No offense, but I think it is at least a round too early for Pead and also the RB position. Plus, I believe there is a much better RB on the board still.

[Rey]

Based on how smoothly this draft has gone I think we'd have been ok allowing a few trades...

I think if we do another one we should at least allow the Texans to trade.

What running backs left on the board are "much better" than Pead or Doug Martin?

I am not saying that the Texans have to take RB here, but you asked for suggestions and since a poll can include 10 options I figured I throw in a couple of guys that can be returners/RB's.

If you didn't really want open suggestions you should have given your criteria and then I would have known not to suggest a RB....


















Just yankin your chain a bit main...It's all good...
