Apparently it's Bruce Irvin
Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
I also find the receiver comment quite interesting.Surprise! Bruce Irvin in the first round? You might be thinking about e-mailing Woody Paige to tell him that he's right about me being a buffoon, but let me explain first. Michael Lombardi reported that some team flew Irvin to their facility in a helicopter and told him he'd be their first-round pick. I have some reason to believe that the Texans will pick Irvin here based on some other things I've heard today, so I guess I'm taking the bait.
What I do know for certain, per trusted sources, is that this pick will not be used on a receiver. It'll be the top rush linebacker or right tackle available on Houston's board.
You may have dreamed what will happen as it could well work just like that.Señor Stan;1942279 said:I had a dream last night that the Texans took Kendall Wright. Fleener dropped to the Colts and the ended up with him and Luck.
I'm going with Bruce Irvin, just for the hell of it. The helicopter story seemed pretty bizarre, and it would be hilarious to find out that the Texans were the one.Apparently it's Bruce Irvin
If anything screams 'Houston Texans,' it's such a flamboyant and self-important act as flying someone to the facility in a helicopter for an interview.I'm going with Bruce Irvin, just for the hell of it. The helicopter story seemed pretty bizarre, and it would be hilarious to find out that the Texans were the one.
Wright if he's on the board, if not Stephen Hill.
#26 Shea McClellin OLB
I am okay with any of these guys. And maybe Ruben Randle. But my preference is Wright. If he's not there than McClellin. If both are gone than Fleener.Fleener.
Lol at the jets taking a freakin' fullback in the 1st round....has to be 1 of the worst 1st round picks ever!!!
Same here Thorn! I leave it up to all these younger guys to do the research for me! They do a damn good job of it too!! The draft process is complicated to me, so I keep it simple. Keep enough names in my old brain to make it fun, and a little interesting at the draft party.
One of the FEW times I buy the local ragsheet is the day after draft day! They'll analyze all the TEXAN draft picks and I'll become acquainted with our new Texans!! Don't really matter to me who they are!!
Pretty much what I do as well. I also enjoy the youtube videos that get posted about each pick so I can see them in action and start getting excited about the upcoming season!Yep. One of the few times I'll actually read the Chronicle. I'll read what they have to say, read what everyone on this board is saying, and I'll also google our picks as well. I really want to learn who these new guys are. But as we so often find out, what we THINK they will do, and what they actually do can be much different.
I read that too.I read that Bruce Irvin ran the 3-cone faster than any DL at the combine this year. Food for thought.
That's my guess.Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford.
Yep, McClellin pick screams Texans. I'm OK with Irvin but would take Hill,Martin,McClellin,Fleener in that order ahead of Irvin.If we take Irvin over McClellin, I'll be pissed... I really hope Shea is there at 26, otherwise we should trade back.
Who/what's "the 6"?Wade Phillips ‏ @sonofbum
We we get to our pic we have already discussed which of the 6 we would prefer. There is also a chance that we could move back for more pics
That's pretty impressive...I'm not a draft guru so i have no clue who this guy is. Do his measurables match his game tape? If wade is eyeing this guy to be Demarcus Ware 2.0.......i'm all for that.I read that too.
Also (Irvin v D. Ware)
40 Time: 4.50 vs 4.56
20 Yrd Shuttle 4.03 vs 4.07
3 Cone Drill: 6.70 vs 6.85
broad jump: 10'03" vs 10'02"
Ware tested at 6'4 and 251
Irvin tested at 6'3 and 245
I could see Wade pulling some rope to get his D Ware in a Texans uni.
I just hope he wears #57 if we pick him.
I won't cry if Irvin is the guy.
There was a previous tweet from Wade that stated when they get to within six picks of the Texans position, they'll start discussing the 6 remaining players they like best - knowing with certainty that at least one of them will still be there when they pick.Who/what's "the 6"?
If we trade back, I'll be OK with Irvin, but he is not a 1st round pick IMO. Not really a high second either. I'd rather have Lavonte David or Ronnell Lewis late in the 2nd than Irivin in the top 40 as some are projecting. Here's his game against Clemson:Yep, McClellin pick screams Texans. I'm OK with Irvin but would take Hill,Martin,McClellin,Fleener in that order ahead of Irvin.
Arrested this past March the weekend after his pro day (March 16) for destruction of property and disorderly conduct after allegedly breaking a sign at a Jimmy John's sandwich shop in Morgantown. Ruled academically ineligible sophomore year of high school. Dropped out of school and struggled with off-the-field issues. Spent two years out of football and briefly spent time in juvenile detention center before earning GED in 2007. Grew up in Georgia in a rough neighborhood. Scouts will need to do some investigating on background. Attempted to walk on at Butler Community College in Kansas but didn't make the team and later enrolled at Mt San Antonio Community College. Played safety for one year them moved to defensive end to take advantage of ability to get to quarterback. De-committed from Tennessee and then Arizona State before settling on West Virginia. Some slight concerns about his ability to interpret and take coaching. Named team's rookie of the year in 2010.
I think the same thing. I keep hearing people downplay his measureables, so I can see him easily sliding and he would fit perfectly in this defense with Barwin and Reed.I'm gonna go with Courtney Upshaw. I think he's gonna be the guy that falls and the value at 26 for him would be too good to pass up IMO.
The first sentence, which has been discussed in dept just screams a private helicopter ride to Reliant to me.If we trade back, I'll be OK with Irvin, but he is not a 1st round pick IMO. Not really a high second either. I'd rather have Lavonte David or Ronnell Lewis late in the 2nd than Irivin in the top 40 as some are projecting. Here's his game against Clemson:

Intangibles according to ESPN:
Still not better than Tony Jaa
SCIENCE!!!!
that vertical is impressive..
This could be another thread by itself. I'm excited.So, what'll it be, 10PM tonight before we find out?
I'm quoting myself because I made these comments about Mercilous. I'm pretty shocked that he fell that far. Our D is going to be nasty next year.I seriousely doubt he gets past the Bears at #19. If he somehow lands at #26, I'll be doing backflips too but I really, really doubt he falls that far. Are you willing to trade up to #18 to grab him?
Good call Nero and Topher too.
nice!26. Whitney mercilus, olb, illinois
I never thought he would fall to us either. I think the shocker though had to be David Decastro falling all the way to the Steelers at 24. The other shocker was the Chiefs taking Poe at the 11 spot.I'm quoting myself because I made these comments about Mercilous. I'm pretty shocked that he fell that far. Our D is going to be nasty next year.
Now let's get some toys for Matt and the gang!
We have da' winner!!!26. Whitney Mercilus, OLB, Illinois
I hope you are more correct than your post.We have da' winner!!!
After further review.... the apostrophe still comes AFTER the "a".I hope you are more correct than your post.
lol, I wasn't talking about punctuation, my friend. Although I can now see how you got that. I am hoping you are more than just correct on Merci being a winner. My bad for confusing.After further review.... the apostrophe still comes AFTER the "a".
