2011 NFL Draft: Round 2/3, Texans with 42nd and 73rd picks/Thread(Reed/Harris)

[J_R]

Andy Dalton to Cincy

 

[JCTexan]

Andy Dalton to the Bengals.

 

[Dutchrudder]

The Bills secondary will be really good over the next couple years. Williams and Byrd will be a nice safety duo.

 

[Ndevine7]

Here comes Dalton...

gotta love that pick

 

[awtysst]

Andy Dalton!

 

[Allstar]

Well Ochocinco and and Palmer have to be happy campers now.

 

[Malloy]

All I see is the gf/wife/sister...

 

[wolf123]

With my pick... I pick Andy Daltons girlfriend!!

 

[JCTexan]

Is the clock now five minutes? I'm keeping track through the internet.

 

[awtysst]

I still have 7 left.

Akeem Ayers, OLB UCLA
Brooks Reed, OLB, Arizona
Justin Houston, OLB Georgia
Jabaal Sheard, OLB, Pittsburgh
Brandon Harris, CB Miami
Marvin Austin, NT North Carolina
Stephen Paea, NT, Oregon State

 

[The Pencil Neck]

You don't tell them to lose the game, you just sit your starters like the Colts did in 2010. Let them play the first series or quarter, then 'rest' them.

If you want to do that to rest up going into the playoffs, that's fine. You're telling your backups to go out there and win it and prove that they want a space on the team.

But if you do that when you're not making the playoffs, then you're sending a bad message to the players because you're telling your backups that you don't want them to play their best and try to win the game.

 

[awtysst]

I think its 7 for round 2 and then 5 from 3rd onwards.

 

[Malloy]

Git outa my head!

 

[Ndevine7]

I still have 7 left.

Akeem Ayers, OLB UCLA
Brooks Reed, OLB, Arizona
Justin Houston, OLB Georgia
Jabaal Sheard, OLB, Pittsburgh
Brandon Harris, CB Miami
Marvin Austin, NT North Carolina
Stephen Paea, NT, Oregon State

we have the exact same list idk if thats your order but id have reed over ayers

 

[Dutchrudder]

Is the clock now five minutes? I'm keeping track through the internet.

7 minutes in the 2nd, 5 minutes in the 3rd.

 

[Nawzer]

I have a feeling that the Texans will draft Daquan Bowers (sp?). He's a talented player and if we can get 3 or 4 years worth or good play out of him, it's worth the 2nd round pick.

Would not like that pick.

 

[Maddict5]

All I see is the gf/wife/sister...

so you give your sister a big smacker on the lips for 3-4 secs after good news?

 

[wolf123]

Trade!

 

[keyser]

Man, Bowers's knee must be really bad. I'd have thought some team would have at least taken a chance on him by this point. Any guesses where he ends up going? Are any teams set well enough to take a risk of a high pick being wasted?

 

[wolf123]

That depends on how HOT she is!!

 

[awtysst]

No order in my list, just a group.

 

[awtysst]

I don't think he is a 3-4 OLB. He is strictly a 4-3 in my eyes.

 

[beerlover]

Didn't you take Rahim Moore in our boards
7 round mock?

 

[wolf123]

Two girls in the draft room!?

 

[Dutchrudder]

If you want to do that to rest up going into the playoffs, that's fine. You're telling your backups to go out there and win it and prove that they want a space on the team.

But if you do that when you're not making the playoffs, then you're sending a bad message to the players because you're telling your backups that you don't want them to play their best and try to win the game.

I would think of it like the Rockets giving more playing time to rookies and new members of the team. Let your starters start and play minimally, but give the young guys opportunity to make big plays and prove they belong on the roster next year. They might win the game, but there's no point in letting guys like Schaub get lots of snaps and expose him to potential injury. We knew going into that game that we were eliminated from the playoffs, so we should be improving our chances for 2011 and beyond. Let Dan O get some snaps, god knows he needs more experience.

 

[J_R]

49ers select Colin C.

 

[awtysst]

They couldn't get Joe Montana here?!

NICE! Another Qb taken.

 

[fiasco west]

yes a run on QBs please!

 

[wolf123]

Poor raiders!! That was their favorite QB

 

[Rey]

Glad all these QB's are going.

 

[Ndevine7]

Didn't you take Rahim Moore in our boards
7 round mock?

Yea but since then i have changed my list and im not as high on Moore as i once was

 

[wolf123]

Cleveland will probably pick our rush LB.

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Now if someone could just tell my office to stop calling me because the draft is on, dammit.

 

[JCTexan]

Poor raiders!! That was their favorite QB

At least they wont have to travel far to watch him play.

 

[awtysst]

Cmon TE or WR!

 

[JCTexan]

Browns take Jabaal Sheard, DE, Pittsburgh.

 

[awtysst]

Booooooooo!!!!!!

 

[Malloy]

so you give your sister a big smacker on the lips for 3-4 secs after good news?

If she looked like that... why not

Actually I missed that part, I alt-tabbed back here to comment

 

[wolf123]

Boooo!!

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Well, there goes Sheard. He was one of my guys. I was hoping the Raiders were going to trade up and nab another QB.

 

[awtysst]

My wish group is getting decimated. Only 6 left.

Akeem Ayers, OLB UCLA
Brooks Reed, OLB, Arizona
Justin Houston, OLB Georgia
Brandon Harris, CB Miami
Marvin Austin, NT North Carolina
Stephen Paea, NT, Oregon State

 

[XI CMURDER IX]

Akeem Ayers, OLB UCLA

Justin Houston, OLB Georgia
Brandon Harris, CB Miami
Marvin Austin, NT North Carolina
Stephen Paea, NT, Oregon State

I have a feeling the Titans are going to get Paea

 

[JCTexan]

Does Arizona like Ryan Mallett enough to pick him here?

 

[Dutchrudder]

Good pick for the Browns. Sheard and Taylor will help revamp their front 7.

 

[wolf123]

My wish group is getting decimated. Only 6 left.

Akeem Ayers, OLB UCLA

4 more picks before we get a go at it, you'll get at least one if you're lucky

 

[beerlover]

Yea but since then i have changed my list and im not as high on Moore as i once was

Why? What has he done or not done? With Aaron off the board he is the top FS in the draft
