I say a RB. A guy who can be paired with Duane Brown, see what he can do with another rookie behind him

Thanks for your support! 🍺😎👍
I think we go CB and RB in round 3. Although I could definately see us taking that DE Brian Robinson to bang that pass rusher hole then hit whichever CB/RB that we didn't take in 3 in round 4.
Steve Slayton would be a natural fit being a very under rated prospect at this point![]()

Isn't he kinda small?
Ray Rice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charles Godfrey!!
Actually, I don't know anything about the guy except that he has a Texans tattoo on his hand.
Whoever they take I'm going to support though.
We'll see. When do we pick?
Does anyone know anything about Kevin Smith RB/South Florida. He is still available.
So what are our remaining picks overall?
I know we have
2 - 3rd rounders
4th round
5th round
2 - 6th rounders
7th round
Anyone know the overall numbers on those off the top of your head?

They can take a RB in round 6 or 7, or even pick up an undrafted free agent after the draft, just like they did with Chris Taylor a couple years ago.
technically the Ravens did.When I look at this, I really like what Rick Smith did with our #1. Not only did he basically get a rookie LT and a starting center by obtaining another 6th, but he also took away one of our division rivals picks.
Same here, although I was reminded that Godfrey has a Texans' tatoo on his hand. That makes me want to somehow end up with him!The only running back out there with 3rd round talent is Kevin Smith out of UCF. I watched a few UCF games this year and this guy is the real deal. I doubt hell be available at 79.
Available cornerbacks are:
Justin King - Penn St.
Reggie Smith - Oklahoma
Tyvon Branch - Uconn
Charles Godfrey - Iowa
I know Reggie Smith can play but other then that I dont know much about these guys.
There's also Adibi, and a few other OLBs. I think OLB might be a position where there's good value in the 3rd, so while I think that CB, RB, and DE might be bigger needs (in that order), I'd be OK with going for a LB.There are several good outside linebackers available including Dan Connor from Penn State and Erin Henderson from Maryland.
I was a big fan of Steve Justice, and there's a chance he lasts until our 4th round pick. But, I think using our 6th on Myers probably eliminated that option. Plus, after the Brown pick, I hesitate guessing anything that Gibbs will do on the OL.Also, dont be suprised if we take a center with the 89th pick of even the 4th round pick. There are a couple of good centers projected for the 3rd round.
Considering we have something like 8 safeties, including Demps (nearly a lock to start) and last year's 5th round pick, I kind of doubt we go for a safety, unless it's a late round pick for special teams.The only safety I like on the board right now is Thomas McCload. All the rest appear to better suited for SS and we have plenty of those.
CB and DE
I read somewhere that with Gibbs' system, there is a luxury in picking RB's late as they focus on picking talent with certain cut styles that lend to the system well. And another side of me would like to see AG earn the overpayment given for him to come to Houston. He's still a great RB. One of these seasons, the injury plague will pass... It HAS to.
Although.... I would love to have a Jersey with the word 'Booty' on the back, but we obviously have the QB spot locked down.
My shopping list for tomorrow (in no particular order):
Cliff Avril
Darrell Robertson
Chris Ellis
Dan Connor
Xavier Adibi
Erin Henderson
Geno Hayes (after the fourth)
Charles Godfrey
Justin King
Tyvon Branch
Antwuan Molden
Pat Sims
Marcus Harrison
Reggie Smith
Kevin Smith
Jamaal Charles
Steve Slaton (after the third)
Early Doucet (after the third, along with all the other WRs)
Mario Manningham (what the heck?)
Earl Bennett
Roy Schuening
Carl Nicks
Jeremy Zuttah
