NFL Draft 2010: Day 2

Actually, I am warming up to a receiver here. Not a lot of players at need positions, maybe draft a guy to really make this O dangerous. I like Decker because of his blocking ability.
 
i actually think we may reach somewhat and take johnson here. he has a decent shot at starting at fs for us
 
Bummer. I was really hoping the Broncos would go weird--er, I mean against the conventional wisdom--again and leave Walton on the board.
 
Local kid, Earl Mitchell(who?).

Edit: Had 48 TLKS, 12.5 TFL, 6.5 sacks last year. He weighs 296lbs, looks like a 3-tech.
 
No!! A 5th round pick on my board, and at least that on all the internet boards. Guys, I cant take this anymore. I am checking off the boards for the night.

Have a good time, and above all, Go Texans!
 
Current DTs on the Texans roster:

95 Cody, Shaun DT 6-4 310
97 Okam, Frank DT 6-5 338
91 Okoye, Amobi DT 6-2 296
66 Robinson, D. DT 6-3 320


** EDIT: ESPN shows him as 296, not 215. Never mind
 
Pass rush: At least moderate initial quickness and can get skinny to slide through the gap and disrupt the play immediately. Quick, active hands to battle inside. Flashes a good swim and rip move, but needs to use each more often. Relies too much on a marginally effective bull rush. Has a second burst to close when he has a lane, but tires quickly. Struggles to change direction and too often can be eluded for a defensive tackle with his size and relative athleticism.

Run defense: Flashes a quick burst laterally to penetrate. Good balance in tight quarters and feel to handle the trap block. Plays stouter than his frame would indicate due to good use of leverage and leg drive, but is never going to be a true run-stuffer. Hustles laterally in pursuit.

Explosion: Can surprise the guard with his initial burst to slip through the gap. Quick, active hands and good upper body strength to knock the offensive lineman back off the snap.

Strength: Good leg drive to lock out and anchor, though he lacks the bulk to hold up to double-teams. Can push offensive guards into the pocket to create a disruption in the running game. Good strength for the drag-down tackle while still engaged with the blocker.

Tackling: Classic catch and drag-down tackler. Has a burst to close and flashes some pop when given space to gain momentum. Provides good effort laterally, but isn’t able to stalk the ball-carrier, showing only marginal body control.

Intangibles: Caught 13 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns in 2006-07 as a part-time starting H-back. Missed the 2009 game against Washington due to a freak injury to his eye after it was hit by the corner of a door. Highly respected by fans, teammates and the coaching staff. Voted a 2009 team captain. Struggled with academics early in his career, but was named a winner of the National Academic Momentum Award which is presented by the Scholar-Baller Program in conjunction with the National Consortium for Academics and Sports. High-effort player with some legitimate upside as a relative neophyte at the position.
