2012 Texans Talk Mock Draft

[Shaft75]

With pick #156 in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select:

DeQuan Menzie, CB Alabama



Starting to be slim pickings at the CB position. But the Eagles are happy to have a versatile DB from the best defense in the nation. We need some help at FS, so we'll give him a shot, but he can also play some nickel while he gets adjusted to the pro level. He held is own pretty well in the SEC, so we think that can translate into being a solid pro, just like Kareem... never mind.

1 - Luke Kuechly MLB Boston College
2a - Harrison Smith S Notre Dame
2b - Brock Osweiler QB Arizona State
3 - Keenan Robinson OLB Texas
4a - Brandon Mosley OT Auburn
4b - Brian Quick WR Appalachian State
5 - DeQuan Menzie CB Alabama

The Jets are really happy to get what might become the second of two starting safeties to be drafted in this draft and to get him in the 5th round.

Although this player missed all of 2011 with an injury, his physical talents combined with good football brain puts him in good stead for a career in the NFL.

6'3" 216lbs
4.38 in the 40
24 reps of the bench press
10’4″ broad jump
35.5″ vertical jump

Transtioning from CB to safety from Oregon State.

BRANDON HARDIN

He was on my radar, great pick.

Hardin can cover the TE being a former CB. He has great size for the S position. Haardin has the ability to become a starter. That's most you can ask for at this point in the mock.

Strengthening the middle of the Jets pass defense was a huge factor in my drafting.

Martin, Cole and now Hardin can all add value against Gronkandez.

The Tennessee Titans select...

Trenton Robinson - Safety - Michigan State

Fast and physical with a nose for the ball. 8 interceptions in the past 2 years. Had a good showing a the Senior Bowl and Combine. Team Captain for the Spartans. Value and need meet for the Titans...

Good value here, and terrific value to the Bengals given his diversity to play different positions in Zimmer's multi look defense.



1st - Kevin Zeitler, Wisconsin, OG
1st - Dont'a Hightower, Alabama, LB
2nd - David Wilson, Virginia Tech, RB
3rd - Leonard Johnson, Iowa State, CB

For some reason I thought Randall was gone already

I believe I threw his name out there for a possible Raiders pick. But he was not selected. 4 people picked Fangupo.

So I take it we aren't updating the draft order based on the official NFL order released? Cause the Broncos owe the Browns their 5th for Brady Quinn, and the Browns owe the Vikings their 6th for Jayme Mitchell. And there are lots of other trades that happened to change other picks.

Just more work for me. If someone wants picks updated they can PM me.

So the Browns get the Bronco's 153rd pick? And the Browns lose the 161st pick to Minnesota?

I don't see the point in changing it now, we're in the 5th round. Guys have been drafting based on what picks they have available the whole time. Change up the next couple of rounds and I doubt they'll be pleased about it.

Only scenario I see that happening is if we do another mock after this with all the updated picks.

I kind of agree with Wolverine here, but if we did do another mock, I would want to do all the picks, including comp picks. Next year, we really need to hold off until we know the full order and have a week of free agency finished. It kills drafts to look back and see how you could have addressed needs had we waited just a week.

[Blake]

Its whatev. Im fine capping this draft whenever everyone else is. Then we can do our quick mock with a handful of participants.

Do you think we will have enough time to finish the mock if we wait until the compensatory picks are announced. I do, if we shorten up the 1st rd to 6 hrs. Everybody seems to be quick with the 1-3rd picks, then it slows down some.

Or you've got guys like T-Killer. LOL

Bengals are quietly having a heck of a draft.

Loved the Titans pick too. Robinson is a player.

Wow, I totally forgot about Dwight Jones. 5th round seems like a good spot for him after his interviews went poorly.
