Texans 2008 NFL Draft

[Brando]

wow Talib

 

[GuerillaBlack]

So?
Talib
Lawerence Jackson
Felix Jones
Dan Conner

Any of those would be nice

Talib is gone.

 

[kastofsna]

NICE pick.

 

[Mike Kerns]

Isnt he like a 12 time pot smoker?

 

[Porky]

If Duane Brown is our pick at 26, I will be (somewhat) disappointed.

You shouldn't be. I had him rated JUST under Chris Williams on Porky's big board (hey if Kiper has one, why can't I?)

He is IDEALLY suited for the zone scheme. He is a bit raw so might need a little more time to develop, but he has tremendous upside especially on this team with this coach. Considering the other picks aquired with it, that is a grand slam homerun in my book.

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Aqib Talib! YTF is happy now.

Redskins take Devin Thomas?

 

[Marcus]

Because he's so slow that even Terry Schiavo thinks he's a stiff.

 

[Pantherstang84]

There goes Talib and General McLain's "expert" pick.

 

[HoustonFrog]

Cowboys are going to get some great value at 22.

 

[awtysst]

Good CB but red flags. If he keeps his nose clean good pick but...

 

[Polo]

Dan Connor! Thats our guy!

 

[Maddict5]

would've preferred the carolina trade but i assume they didnt call

 

[AnthonyE]

We get basically a 3rd round pick to drop down 8 spots.

Somethings wrong with that trade.

 

[The1ApplePie]

Anyone think its Sam Baker at 26?

EDIT: Wow that was a suprise. I thought TB would definately go Jenkins at that spot. So...anyone think its Jenkins or Baker at 26?

I'm a USC fan but good god I hope not

 

[mussop]

The new big board.

1. Rashard Mendenhall

Ray Rice
Matt Forte

 

[Hook'er]

Because we are going to draft Cason!

 

[Texanmike02]

OK so here's the question. If you were a diehard don't trade sage fan? Would you have just traded Sage for a 3rd and a 6th? Or maybe for a second? Then take Mendenhal?

Mike

 

[Brando]

Cowboys are going to get some great value at 22.

Do you think they will draft Mendenhall to pair with Barber?

 

[ObsiWan]

TB takes Talib. Interesting. Good fit in the Tampa-2.

agreed.
R. Barber can school the youngun on the pro game.

 

[Mr PC]

Panthers got raped by the Eagles.

Im surprised the Bucs chose Talib instead of Jenkins. Maybe the Texans will get lucky and Jenkins will fall to 26

 

[texasguy346]

Jenkins or Flowers at 26.

 

[Htownsportsfan]

Washington needs a big #1 receiver!

Dallas will take Mendenhall?


Pitt could take a RB to split with Forster!

TN Needs a receiver, if Jenikins or Flowers are there and we picked up extra picks great trade.

 

[ObsiWan]

Do you think they will draft Mendenhall to pair with Barber?

I'm hoping they still go with Felix Jones

 

[GuerillaBlack]

Do you think they will draft Mendenhall to pair with Barber?

Jerrah likes Felix Jones (Arkansas connection). Both Felix and Mendenhall (probably Seattle) will be gone.

 

[Maddict5]

calais, merling or thomas here

 

[Brando]

I'm hoping they still go with Felix Jones

They may with Jones connection to Arkansas.

 

[Mr PC]

would've preferred the carolina trade but i assume they didnt call

yeah what the hell? How come we couldnt get their 2nd and 1st rounder?

 

[ObsiWan]

'skins ought to pick defense

 

[keyser]

At 26, I'd like
- Mendenhall or Jenkins if they fall (not likely)
- Cason
- Another trade down...

I wonder if there's any way we can end up with two picks in the early 2nd. My dream (even before the draft) was to get Cason and one of the "other" OTs: Baker, Collins, or Cherilus (now gone).

 

[HoustonFrog]

Do you think they will draft Mendenhall to pair with Barber?

I'd love that. If not they have their pick of WRs right now. I don't like the CBs left. WR also depends if they are going to pick up a vet or trade one of the #1s for a vet.

 

[Honoring Earl 34]

Because he's so slow that even Terry Schiavo thinks he's a stiff.

Well ... there goes the karma .

 

[beerlover]

the Texans looked content after the trade, maybe their not yet done trading back? or the guy they covet is still on the board @ #26 Brandon Flowers

 

[ObsiWan]

Like the pirate with the ship's wheel on his zipper said
"its drivin' me nuts!"

 

[Porky]

Anyone think its Sam Baker at 26?

EDIT: Wow that was a suprise. I thought TB would definately go Jenkins at that spot. So...anyone think its Jenkins or Baker at 26?

Possible, but my money is on Duane Brown. I think he is a much better fit in the ZBS myself. But, I trust the Texans on this one. These guys know what they are doing!

 

[TexansSeminole]

I think Rick Smith has his eyes on a set corner and he thinks he will be available at 26. He made a great trade just to watch only 8 prospects to go by.

 

[Nawzer]

What about Kenny Phillips? Maybe this is the year they solve that hole.

 

[Porky]

What about Kenny Phillips? Maybe this is the year they solve that hole.

Can't rule it out but I doubt it. To me a safety is a luxury pick that high, especially with no #2.

It's a LT or CB, I would bet the bank on it.

 

[The Pencil Neck]

We get basically a 3rd round pick to drop down 8 spots.

Somethings wrong with that trade.

Why? Pointwise, it adds up. It's 200 points to go from 18 to 26.

A mid 3rd rounder is 200 points. So, we got a little extra.

Great trade.

 

[Hutch13]

Atlanta on the clock?

 

[D-ReK]

Redskins trade to Falcons. Hmmm.

 

[bah007]

Atlanta trades up for Mendenhall?

 

[Mailman]

Can't rule it out but I doubt it. To me a safety is a luxury pick that high, especially with no #2.

It's a LT or CB, I would bet the bank on it.

I agree.

 

[ObsiWan]

What about Kenny Phillips? Maybe this is the year they solve that hole.

Kenny Phillips would be a decent value at #26 don't you think?

 

[Maddict5]

jenkins?

 

[Mailman]

Atlanta trades up for Mendenhall?

Brohm. They have Turner, why would you take Mendenhall?

 

[Hutch13]

Atlanta trades up for Mendenhall?

Linemen? Sam Baker?

 

[mattschaub#8]

i think we get mandanhall =]

 

[Rex King]

Im surprised the Bucs chose Talib instead of Jenkins.

Better fit for cover-2.

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Atlanta trades up for Mendenhall?

With all the money they've paid to Turner?

No.

 

[Hutch13]

Falcons select Sam Baker. Called it.
