2009 NFL Draft Thread

Yep. His answers in the press conference are impressing me. He's got a quiet yet obvious cockiness. If his attitude is contagious, he could be a huge presence on that defense.

Yep...I'm one that didn't want Cushing, but so far I'm liking what I'm seeing and hearing from him. He seems to have a lot more passion, intelligence, and mental toughness than I realized. I'm starting to get excited about him playing next to Ryans.
 
It's TE James Casey. I like Casey, but wow we must feel confident about getting a RB really late. I guess Joel Dreesen just lost his job.
 
2 tight ends...what gives!!!!!

this is not a need position to take 2 on the same day....this draft is bafffling to say the least
 
so of a biatch!!!! man this ticks me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we allready have owen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


wth!!!!



we need a rb not te our 2nd 1 today wth!!!!

this draft grade = a f
 
Interesting (again). There were some article mentioning on his athleticism and how he could play multiple positions. We drafted Hill in the 4th round, so my guess is Casey is moved to a new position.
 
James Casey will play RB for us... Wow that pick was teh biggest surprise. Great value though. Imagine having Casey and Daniels on the field at the same time. Crazy stuff.

I can't find any of our old threads about the draft... did they get deleted?

I think Smith is picking players that they really like and have a fit on this team. Love the Caldwell pick. The Glover Quin pick reminds me of the Jacoby Jones pick. Not because of their play but with the draft. Right after we took Quin, then David Bruton, Chip Vaughn immediately got selected. They obviously like him more than the other safeties available or DJ Moore the CB. This wasn't a pick I was expecting but I'll trust their judgement over the others.

The TE pick makes me think he's going to block and catch in the redzone. Seems like a guy the liked and chose him over a need.

I was preferring Andre Brown and Chip Vaughn with our two 4ths.

from the Texans .com Video page.
Quin was a first-team All-Mountain West selection last season after compiling 53 tackles, 4.5 for loss, along with five interceptions and 11 pass breakups. At the combine, he ran a 4.5 40-yard dash, benched 225 pounds 22 times and recorded a 38-inch vertical jump. He was a three-year starter at cornerback for the Lobos but has been projected as a possible free safety in the NFL.

"They told me I was coming in as a corner," Quin said of his conversations with Texans coaches. "I'm looking to play the nickel corner and just keep practicing and try to move into the starting lineup."

A native of Summit, Miss., Quin was honorable mention all-conference his first two seasons at New Mexico and was credited with two picks and 20 pass breakups. He began his career at Southwest Mississippi Junior College, redshirting his first season with a broken right arm.

"I think that you can always improve your defense with corners," general manager Rick Smith said on Wednesday before the draft. "I think you’ve got to take corners all the time. You look at the two drafts that I’ve run so far, and I’m going to always take corners because I don’t think you can have enough guys that can cover and run and hit and do all those things that we ask them to do."

Love the pick! Hell Yeah get ATHLETES!

Pick up a BACKUP RB as an undrafted RB or pluck one of 10 that the Broncos will release. Still time left for a 10-12 carries a game guy in the later rounds
 
Casey was BPA. But it makes me wonder why when we have OD. I know Casey will want to be on the field.

We are going 5 TE sets!
