2010 Safeties

Do yall think Berry go top 5? I saw his plays through internet and boy I really like him.

Can we trade up and get him? Highly doubt will happen but, what we need to give up to draft player like Berry?

Go Texans!!!

I think there is a very high probability that Berry goes in the top five. If I had the #1 pick I would have no problem taking him there.

Safeties don't normally go that high in the first round but Berry is not a normal player.

Let's say we ended up between twenty to twenty fifth pick, what would be the cost for us? I know it is too early and it is depend upon trading partner but, I am just curious to know the cost of trading up that high. Pro bowl caliber + 1rd pick or 2 1st rd pick like 2010 and 2011? Just let me know your thoughts.

Go Texans!!!

if you have a top 5 pick and have to choose between Berry and Suh, i can't think of a better place to be.

what i'm saying is you guys should tank the season. yes, it's early, but still.
 
Good point, I never thought of the supplemental pick if we lose Dunta. You know Smithiak will pick a developmental player somewhere and waste an early pick, they do it every year.

You know one of Kubiaks son's plays Safety for Colorado St. Univ. and he's a senior this year, we might take him high in the draft as a developmental player. Scary thought huh?
Rumor is Mike Shannahan will hire Kube's kid as a WR coach for the Cowboys as soon as he graduates.:smiliedance:

These picks are known as compensatory picks not supplemental picks. Back on thread, I am still riding the Barry Church train. Good size, decent speed and can hit. He is still flying under the radar and if he can be had in later rds it will allow us to address O-Line, CB, RB or whatever earlier.

Walters has Texans getting Thomas # 20. As a red shirt soph. I have yet to see much of him though I try to watch every game. Your eval? I would expect him to stay in school based on Brown's history but if the kid can get a first round rating from NFl, he should come out.

I think 20 might be a little high, but I do like him as a prospect. He reminds me a lot of Donte Whitner(BUF), but with better instincts and ball skills. I've only seen 4 games this year, but he is always around the ball, jumping routes, and generally being disruptive.

At 5'10 200 he's not going to wow anybody with his size, but he has the strength and athletic ability to play SS, FS and CB effectively.

A Texas fan can probably give you more in depth info on his overall gameplay.
 
I think Tyler Sash would be the perfect ballhawk for this team :)

If you draftnicks are correct we could get him around the 3rd-4th round and use the early picks somewhere else, perhaps on a franchise RB, DT, or stud interior OL?

Yea, I'm not going to act like I've seen the guy play throughout his whole career, but what I have seen this year is great footwork.

When the ball is in the air he really gets into good position to make a play.

I either haven't seen him enough or can't remember what I have seen to grade him against the run.

From the little I've seen he's not really asked to defend the run in Texas' defensive scheme, but when he does come up and support he seems to be fairly effective, but not a force like Berry.

Thomas had a good game against KU. He was good in run support and was quick to flow to the ball on the speed option. His interception was a gift. The WR literally fell down 4 yards before. I don't know if he's first round material, but he is definitely a player. I was impressed overall.
 
Piggybacking off Bah.
