What about baby Gronk from K State as a hybrid FB / TE (H-Back)? I honestly just want a Gronk on the team. I know we don't use the position. Otherwise I'm cool w/ the Kicker

I think we have too many New England wannabe references on the team already. I pass on another.
 
What do y'all think about Kalan Reed?

Kalan Reed, CB, Southern Miss
Incredibly smooth mover at cornerback, fits the size profile most teams are looking for. Can play in any scheme and make plays on the ball. Had excellent tape this year and our third-highest coverage grade in the draft class.

Can't have too many corners & should be good for special teams.

lol, you totally left me out. Am I chopped liver over here? I feel like Rodney Dangerfield.
 
I was going to nominate Fairbairn for our second fifth. For now switch my vote to Simmons- we have to get a safety. Next pick put me down for Fairbain
 
I like the UCLA Kicker a lot and I would be totally down for that pick if Simmons weren't still on the board.

He's the top graded player by a full round still left on my board and we could use an additional Safety, especially one with his skill set.

Put me down for Simmons.
 
updated (correctly, I hope) ...

Ka'imi Fairbairn - 6 (Lucky, steelbtexan, TexansFTW, infantrycak, Shishkabob, PapaL)
Justin Simmons - 4 (WolverineFan, beerlover, JB, bah 007)
Aaron Burbridge - 1 (TexansSeminole)
DeAndre Houston-Carson - 1 (Mollywhopper)
Kalan Reed - 1 (thunderkyss)

Here's the tally I have so far (mussop had Simmons and Dean Lowry listed):

WR Aaron Burbridge (1) - TexansSeminole
CB Kalan Reed (1) - thunderkyss
S DeAndre Houston-Carson (1) - Mollywhopper
S Justin Simmons (5) - bah007, beerlover, JB, mussop?, WolverineFan
K Ka'imi Fairbain (6) - infantrycak, Lucky, PapaL, Shishkabob, steelbtexan, TexansFTW
 
How much time do we have left? I'm not familiar with Simmons. Going to look him up right quick. I can be swayed.

I say we have until 9 am. That's using the two hour clock but that should be enough considering the pick went up for discussion at the end of the clock last night.
 
My top guys haven't been mentioned.
Kenny Lawler, WR
Connor McGovern G
Jason Fanaika DE

Having picked up Fuller and the next up being close, I'll go with McGovern as my pick for the Texans. OL depth is never a bad thing.

I'd have gone with kicker if we hadn't just signed Novak who has been solid if not spectacular.
 
After reading this LINK, I'd like to switch my vote to Simmons. I so want someone that can cover a TE. Even a half assed attempt would be better than what we've had. Hopefully the K can be addressed later or via FA competition.

alright guys the 5 or so of us that are left start a new draft. We each take 6 teams, a couple of us take 7. lol This has been fun, but not that fun
 
Of immediate interest to me is whether we reflect the trade on the 190th pick. Is is now Tennessee's and JBs or still Los Angeles' and mine? If we are consistent, it should be JB's and I'm finished with this draft with no picks left for LOS ANGELES.

ps That's not an angry "I'm Finished!" but a pragmatic "I'm finished."

No good way to indicate tone without spelling it out.
 
Just for fun, according to this mock...

Titans Get:
Laquon Treadwell
Connor Cook
Jaylon Smith
Jeremy Cash
2017 1st
2017 3rd

Rams Get:
Laremy Tunsil
Jerrell Adams
6 (#177)

are the Titans already getting worried about Mariota? I dont see why they take Cook when they could help give Mariota weapons on offense or bolster their defense

This trade shouldn't affect our draft whatsoever.

This trade will have a ripple affect & not for the better for divisional foes.

Are you suggesting Texans, should act like an ostrich & just stick their head in the sand?

Ala 2013, just take top prospect without any knack to work other teams out of their picks, yeah How's that working for ya:barman:

How's paying attention to the subject working for you?

No I am only using our mock draft results. In this mock, the Rams drafted Treadwell, Cook, Smith, and Cash with the picks that were traded.

Just an exercise to see the caliber of players the Titans will be acquiring in the real draft with their new assets.

:facepalm:

He's just showing us which players were taken at those picks in our draft. Surely it would have fell differently had the Titans made the deal before we started.


Then again, I'd take Cook over Mariota... so there's that.
 
Mussop- Vikings are on the clock

What time does he have to make his pick?

I like Tavon Young CB Temple

Guy will be a really good nickle type CB who has a chance to develop into a Captain Munnerlyn type CB.
