Sweet trade up to get a first round talent this far down.


They will have a hell of a front seven.



They might go 0-16 and only give up 160 points all year .... losting 10-6 / 10-3 every damn week. :corrosion:
 
I honestly can't see how anyone could dislike this pick. We have a huge hole at NT, and Nix is a top 5 talent (in the NFL) at the position. Concerns over his weight and medical history knocked him down draft boards, but if he can stay healthy, it is a great, great pick. If not, then it is just a middle third.
 
I love it. This draft is looking like a jewel of a draft.

Can't wait to see all them in action.
 
damn, Nix cost us the 4.1 and 5.1 picks. We got our comp pick in the 4th, then it's on to the 6 round.
 
I guess we are rolling with Fitzpatrick, Keenum and Yates. Welcome to Suckville Texans fans. If they trade for Mallet we have become the version of the Chiefs Kansas City just flushed. Bellichek retread QBs do not have a very good track record.
 
If I was his agent I'd immediately go to Corpus and find the Whataburger marketing manager and get my gig on.
 
Finally! Big man in the middle. Makes it easier to live with the te pick earlier. Good draft so far.
 
They must have really wanted Nix to give up the 4.1 and 5.1 picks. I am hopeful he's worth it. I know I would've have taken him with the 3.1 pick.

You don't think the Mallet deal hasn't already been done?
 
1. Best pass rusher & most transcendent talent in the draft
2. Best interior lineman in the draft
3. Best all-around TE in the draft
4. Best true NT in the draft

:cowboy1:

83 (175) > 101 (96) + 135 (38.5) = 134.5

Looks like they did more than fine by the chart.

Don't get me wrong, I WANTED this guy, and I'm happy as hell right now. I guess we'll be watching Fitzbeard this year. I can live with that if we get a good QB next year, we weren't going to the playoffs this year anyway.

Damn, this is going to be one hell of a defense.
 
We gave up 4.1? Ouch. Unless Murray/Mettenberger/McCarron last until that other 4th round pick, looks like that's it or we trade for Mallett. ****.

I think they are well aware of the QB situation and have plan .
 
Stating the obvious, this coaching staff likes Big and Physical. TE pick now looks pretty good. Hopefully these boys can play but on paper this draft looks pretty studly.
4.1 and 5.1 seems a bit steep except at pick 83 for Nix, this will either be an awesome pick or dreadful. Big physical defense.
Offense will be run oriented, hopefully Foster is healthy and ready. I'd expect a RB in the 6th round.
QB next year unless Brady II drops from the sky in the 6th round.

Good thing about not picking until late in the 4th round will be that we can sleep in late tomorrow.

13 points a game from the offense might be enough to win 10 games the way this defense is shaping up.


Crick - Nix - Watt

Mercilus - Cushing - Reed - Clowney

KJax JJo

Swearinger - Clemons


That looks like a solid defense to me .... Now they need to find some depth and a 3rd corner.

EDIT - forgot they let Manning walk.

Still need a 3rd corner & another DE.

Per your words the chart is stupid. Why compare value if you dont value the chart?

Quote it because I have never said the chart is stupid.

I was tempted to say your "analysis" of prior trades with the chart was stupid but refrained.

All it cost them was a 5th round pick.. Don't even look at the 4.1 pick.. Since they essentially just swapped that pick with the eagle's mid 3rd rounder.

False logic. You consider everything on both sides of the equation.

It's a trade of x for y & z
