The Texans will have either the 19th or 20th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. Will depend on a coin flip with the Atlanta Falcons

Yeh I was hoping for somewhere around 14 or 15 for trade down possibiities. Its still possible but I think thats less likely now.
 
You can get a good starters at that position in the draft in both the 1st and 2nd rounds, if you pick a "need" position. I'm sure there'll be a good CD/safety or a lineman avaliable for that pick who could start and help.
 
Our 1st pick we need a Bonified Lockdown CB

i would like dunta to stay but he will prob be asking way more for what hes worth

How is the CB class looking this year ????

Haden looks like a top 10 pick, and then you're looking at marginal 1st round talents. I'm sure somebody will blaze a fast 40 and move up, but it's not because they played exceptionally well.

I think we need a fleet-footed, ball-hawking FS. I'd rather not go into next year having to pick from an aging Ferguson, an injury-prone Barber, or a too slow Busing to get our starting FS.

I'd rather use the 1st day picks on a FS and/or a stud interior lineman (offensive or defensive, we could use upgrades in the middle of both) and either make do with the younguns we have at CB or try and grab one with a 2nd day pick.

While a stud CB would be sweet, I think we're fixed better there than at FS or DT/C/OG.

I disagree. We've got Eugene Wilson under contract for another 2 yrs. at FS and though an upgrade would be nice it's not our highest priority. A stud
OG would really be nice as well and is a distinct possibility but good OG's can be had in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. If Dunta leaves then CB instantly becomes our highest priority. None of the younguns we've currently got on roster is ready to be a true #1 CB, Dunta is the best we've got and he's marginal as a #1 CB. I'd like to see the Texans trade down if possible to the mid-late 20's and then pick one of the following players.

Trevard Lindley or Patrick Robinson-CB
Mike Iupati-OG
Dan Williams-DT
 
Some guys to look at that I've been paying attention to that could potentially be our first round selection.

*Personally I don't see us going offense with our first round selection.*

Donovan Warren: CB, Michigan
Patrick Robinson: CB, Florida State
Ras-I Dowling: CB/FS, Virginia
Earl Thomas: FS, Texas (I doubt he will be available at #19 or #20)
Taylor Mays: FS, USC (I'm not really big on him, but some people are)
Brian Price: DT, UCLA

^ Check these guys out, they're who are on my radar.
 
This year is deep for DT, but if Earl Thomas is on the board (unlikely) by the time we pick, I don't see us passing him up. He loves studying football and would be an excellent fit for us.

This guy recently caught my attention as a possible value pick in later rounds. John Estes from Hawaii.
 
I think Taylor Mays is going to be a HUGE bust. He'll be another big hitter who can't cover. I hope we do not draft that guy.

You know what? Admittedly, I didn't know much about him last season when he was the rave of draft mocks. I made it a point to look out for him this season. Like you, color me unimpressed. It might've just been the small sample of the couple games I watched, but there wasn't much of anything about him that was worthy of a 1st round pick.

I bet Oakland takes him as their first pick.
 
Not big on Mays myself. There is nothing that he provides that Pollard doesn't. Maybe someone else will bite and Thomas will drop -- I think it is unlikely that all 3 top safeties are taken before our pick.
 
after seeing what Pollard did for this defense, I'd like to see a safety in the 1st round (of course if one of the top ones are there).. Wilson would be nice to have back, but the other guys .. please no more ...
 
If earl drops down to us i think we have to take him but if he is taken before our pick i think we scout the dt with price and dan williams and also the cb with warren and dowling

Trade down and pick Berry.
Mays will probably be available around 19 or 20
Click to expand...

Berry will most likely be gone top 10 and Mays sucks. Mays is the most over rated player in this draft. His best chance at becoming a succcesfull NFL player is a position change to OLB where his combination of size and speed can be better utilized and his lack of coverage skills can be masked IMO. I wouldnt draft him in the top 2 rounds.


I think our first round pick has to start. So

C.J. Spiller RB Clemson
Rolando McClain LB Alabama
Jonathan Dwyer RB Georgia Tech
Trent Williams OT Oklahoma
Mike Iupati OG Idaho
Earl Thomas FS Texas
Dan Williams DT Tennessee

Are my 1st round hopefulls. All would be good value at #20.

IMO Rolando McClain will be gone way before 20 and also where would he play he is an ILB and id rather have Demeco. I guess you could try and change him to OLB but id rather go Earl if available or Dan. G in the first round is reaching IMO becuase you can get similar ones in the 3rd and 4th round. I think we need defensive help alot more then offensive so searl or dan would be my pick. Brian Price DT at UCLA is another possibilty

Any of the players I mentioned could be gone. Rolondo is so good IMO you draft him if he is the BPA and find a way to make it work.

Guard would be a reach in the first round if it was anyone else other than Iupati. He is an incredible prospect that is so good he will get talked up as a OT at the combine.

Also Im not so sure that getting defensive help outways getting the running game going again. We can win with the defense as is. We cant win with the running game as is.

i think that our running backs are not the problem. Ive been a slaton fan since his days as a mountaineer and i know that he will be able to over come this fumbling problem. He had a monster year his first year whats to stop him from doing it agian. Foster can also be that short yardage back Chris Brown never was. IMO FS or DT is what our defense needs
 
I dont understand the people who want Spiller or Best. We have a player like that, Slaton. The Texans lack a power runner. Gerhart, Matthews, Dwyer. Those kind of guys.

I'm a big fan of what SS did his rookie year, but I have thoughts od DD(W) on my mind. He did squat this year and, regardless,
this is a "what have you done for me lately" league. Was he hiding nerve damage all season, or what? In the end I really don't care, because his lack of production and fumbles cost the Texans dearly. I wish SS the speediest of recoveries and a return to his 2008 form, but I hope the Texans don't bank on it. Foster showed glimpses, but lots of RB's have shown us greatness in short spurts. If the running game means to us what Kubes tells us it does, quit trying to find another Terrel Davis and spend the high draft pick it sometimes takes to get a premier RB. An upgrade at C wouldn't hurt my feelings either, just not in the 1st round.

I wouldnt draft a C until at least the 3rd i dont see any Mangolds or Macks in this draft. Maybe its cause i have always been a Steve Slaton fan, but i think him and foster could be a good tandem together. I think our defensive needs are much more important then our offensive needs(except the interior line which can be reguarded to in the 2nd to 4th rounds)

I hope SS and AF ARE a dynamic duo and run all over the NFL next year. I also hope the Texans exercise proper judgment and target RB and IOL appropriately in te offseason. They were both sore spots this season, whether due to injury, bad play or both. C just happens to be the biggest OL deficiency I see, so far.
 
For the first time ever, I think we can truly go best player available. We can get by at any position without an upgrade, but any position outside of QB could use an upgrade. Stud WR on the board? Take him. Stud linebacker? Get him. Stud Corner, OL, DL, Safety? We could use help at all of those postions. Obviously our areas where we need help most are OL, DL, Secondary, and RB, but they are all serviceable as is.

It is because we were "forced" to take need positions that we missed out on guys like Revis and Willis for Okoye. The next year our "need" for a LT had us miss on guys like Felix Jones and Chris Johnson. In 2009, we got really lucky that our need corresponded to one of the very best guys in the draft.

I really hope that our guys just pick the best players on the board every round.

I read on Daniel Jeremiah's twitter page that Mays doesn't ever wrap up, he just hits. He said Berry is way more valuable.
 
How many picks do we get this year? I know we have all our early rounds. Any late round extras? Did we get a late-round pick for trading TJ to the Chargers?

Extra 6th for TJ. There is a possibility it goes to a 5th with certain playing time.

so:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
6.
7.
 
There is a fair number of football "experts" saying that Earl Thomas is better suited as a SS in the NFL. If thats so, it is quite possible that we would pass on him if he is available. It is also quite possible that he is gone by our pick, with Pitt a couple picks ahead of us and in need of a safety.

Ras-I Downling ends up being our pick in a number of mocks, since he could play either CB or FS. Anybody know anything about this kid?

Anybody who says that is not a football expert and they are flat out wrong.

I'm not always right when it comes to prospect evaluation but I pride myself on my ability to evaluate DBs. I've missed before but I've nailed pretty much all of them in the last few years. Thomas will be either a CB or a FS.

Sounds like he would fit in just fine for our team then.
