Simon replacement?

 

[Scooter]

Rangy ILB, near tops on my priority list for way too many years. No interceptions is a concern, as is a weaker lower body when asked to fight with bigger tightends, but I'm pretty excited about this pick.

The rest of the draft needs to be entirely on the offensive line. Heck I would just dismiss next year's draft entirely and keep trading up for the best offensive line prospects we can land.

 

[jshabang]

We just drafted Cush replacement!!!! Put this guy next to McKinney in the middle to cover and sideline to sideline !!! I love this pick

 

[texan279]

Texans must feel really good about Kendall Lamm

Was just about to ask will there be any good o line talent left when we pick in the 3rd?

 

[TxnsJuggernaut]

There won't be squat left for our offensive line

 

[mussop]

There is still FA out there and there is lots of good RT prospects in this draft

 

[Mollywhopper]

Cunningham was too good to pass up, but RT is a black hole ... but maybe Garcia later, 'cause Cunningham ...

but RT now, maybe..

Ugh, love this sh*t.

 

[ObsiWan]

First OL guy since pick #2 in this round.

 

[TexansSeminole]

Simon replacement?

Cushing replacement. Cushing and his bloated salary on notice.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut]

When is our next pick?

 

[Honoring Earl 34]

I heard he's way to quiet . Yup ... there is a huge issue with The silence of the Lamm .

 

[mussop]

They will find a way to get him on the field

 

[Brisco_County]

Cunningham's fulfilling a weakness that the Patriots painfully exploited in our last game.

Kelcy also .

 

[beerlover]

We got a badass Lb that can cover!!

If he can cover how is it, that he has no interceptions?

This post should get 20 likes.

He look's a little light in the britches

 

[thunderkyss]

Drew Pearson.... I love it

 

[PapaL]

If he could catch he'd play on offense.

 

[Texansphan]

Great pick here. Didn't realize ZC was still on the dang board!
This is a real steal and a need.
He was projected to go at 25 on cbssports.com a couple weeks ago.

Maybe Qb's didn't throw his way often and he broke up passes as opposed to intercepting them.

 

[Bulls on Parade]

Zach Cunningham was a tackling machine in the SEC.
Everybody had first-round grades on him: Elite player.

How did he fall to the Texans in round two? We should all be thrilled. Although I do feel it's a sad day that we're talking about Brian Cushing's eventual replacement.

 

[Texansphan]

Writing on the wall for Cush? Or is this a depth pick?

I've wondered that all along since end of season.

All I have heard is how this years offensive line class was not very deep.

 

[paycheck71]

That Drew Peason intro of the Cowboys pick was awesome

 

[Honoring Earl 34]

He look's a little light in the britches

'
15 reps on the bench so he'll get some lead in his pencil .

 

[thunderkyss]

Mayock has him as the 4th best LB in this class.

ESPN notification said that the Texans brass said they are going to list him as a OLBer to replace Simon.

Can't wait to see what Vrabel does with a kid with his range.

 

[jradMIT]

You dont pass on a Cunningham at the end of the 2nd. There will be tackles into the fourth, there won't be a Cunningham.

I'd put about another 15-20 pounds on him.

I can see why he didn't lift much though with those long arms

 

[beerlover]

I'm ok if Vrabel says ok but sheesh you move up to take a QB in first round, have a chance to get a stud thug RT and pass.

 

[Bulls on Parade]

Fine by me. The kid is so talented I'd imagine he can play any linebacker spot. We already have three of the best pass rushers in the league (best trio in the game) with J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus. Our front seven is stacked!!!!

 

[Lucky]

Can Cunningham play in the base defense? If so, can Cushing move outside? So much nickel defense played that Cunningham will be on the field a lot whether he starts in the base or not.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut]

When is our next pick?)

 

[Bulls on Parade]

Yeah, it's scary to think about how dominating our defense may be for the next few years. We won't be giving up many points per game.

 

[bah007]

Cunningham could play WILL. Could also play SAM on passing downs.

Cushing could play outside situationally IMO.

Absolutely, yes.

Drew Pearson.... I love it

As anti-cowboy as I am, I must admit.....i loved it.

So, is Cunningham a 3-4 OLB or ILB?

p.s. really like the Cowboys draft so far

 

[jradMIT]

There went Moton.

Kind of what I thought.

Can do either really.

Not for top of the first round picks. the rest is about the same as most drafts

 

[The1ApplePie]

How is it possible for an offensive line draft to be this bad?

 

[amazing80]

Clowney Reader Watt
Mercilus Cushing McKinney Cunningham

Our new front 7?

 

[texan279]

I'm liking what the Browns have done in free agency and the draft...definitely putting some pieces together...

I'd like to try and add depth or upgrade the NT spot, but other than that I'm ecstatic about our front 7.

It would be funny if their Week 1 starter at quarterback in 2017 is going to be Brock Osweiler. I'm not sure Cody Kessler or DeShone Kizer are any better right now. Both have a lot of learning to do and neither is ready to be a full-time starter in the pros. A young quarterback starting on a very bad team is a bad recipe for disaster.
