and a commercial break :(

Yes, 1:33
left on the clock

Oh, no they didn't! ESPN went BACK to commercial. :mad::mad::mad:

Trade??

Vikings?

Toby!!

We traded down! Vikings on the clock.

We may have dropped to #62.

And the Vikes are taking Gerhart!

Ok! We traded down and Gerhart is going to be their pick :(

We have GOT to PICK BEN TATE with our next pick.

Gonna be Toby, yeah. whoops, ur right. so we swapped 2nds, got their third. 62 and 93 now. and we had 81. I'm ok so far, deep draft right. wonder who we will take that we wanted all along now.

Good job throwing away Gerhart, Smithiak. Very disappointing.

Texans get 62 and 93 from Vikes.

Sweet.

I can live with that!

Hey, that's a decent pick up. I think we're going to draft Dixon.

Luv it! Plenty of RBs left and get an extra pick to get a OG, FS, or DT.

Or we'll just pick up another couple of UD FA's.

Sorry I'm bitter now. I'll get over it.

Sorry, but I'm glad we passed on Gerhart.

My revised draft board after trading down...
1 RB Ben Tate
2 OG John Jerry
3 FS Brandon Ghee
4 OG Jon Asamoah
5 RB Jonathan Dwyer
6 DT Geno Atkins

With their pick of the crop at RB (only McCluster taken after Best?), I wonder if the Texans wanted Mays? They moved down quite a bit, but I'll take that for #93... the depth around here looks okay from where I am sitting.

Rick Smith is a bigot, he obviously didn't want "Mr. TD" to be a white-guy.
On the other hand, it would have been a brilliant commercial move.
Right Bob ? Bob are you there ? Are you awake this evening ? Bob, did you get your meds today ?

Very nice! Thought they could have done that in the first and got there guy too. Now we can pick up Tate who o liked better anyway and the 2 3's can address the dt and og/fsneeds.

The TEXANS trade down!!!! Picking at #62 & we have #93 TOO!!!!!!! I'll take Ben Tate, John Gerry, and Geno Atkins; to go. :)

Well, I thought Toby Gerhart, the Heisman runnerup would have been the ideal pick. We will just have to wait and see how it works out, but if Gerhart is as good for the Vikes as he was for Stanford, I'm gonna be a helluva I told you so!!! And yeah, I'll probably get over it at some point.

We will draft Tate but not the one everyone is thinking about. We are getting Golden Tate. We need a solid #2 receiver capable of making big plays and makes defenses pay for double teaming Andre. Kevin Walter is not a #2 receiver IMO.

Sean Lee off the board for the Cowboys. That's a better pick than Dez Bryant in my opinion.

I just posted something similar awhile ago. Why not use him in a hybrid RB/WR role, ala Reggie Bush?

The guards keep falling. If we can still take Asamoah or Mike Johnson at #62, that's a good move.

Nobody's going to run through Ngata and Cody.

I'm not a big fan of Ray Lewis, but he's the reason B-more can draft questionable guys like Terrance Cody...he won't let him fail. I predict slaps to the back of the head if Lewis sees him with an extra porkchop at dinnertime.

Another trade

FOR BEN TATE!!!!!

We just traded up and took Ben Tate.

Got RB..now just need to give him some help.

Roy is a happy boy !!!

Excellent move, I like Tate a bunch. Big and fast.

I'm one happy TEXAN. :)

I want a Jersey, right now!!!! :D

I'll take that Tate, too. We gave up a 5th.

Well Tate was my 2nd choice, so I'm happier now. Plus, we didn't give up the 3rd from Minny to move back up.

Effectively, the Texans gave up a 5th round pick and acquired a 3rd round pick, while getting the running back they wanted. Very, very nice.

This.


Is.


Awesomeness.

I agree. If Tate was their guy, it was a good move. And obviously somebody else was looking there too because the Browns just traded up for Hardesty, so they probably wanted Tate and figured they had to snatch Hardesty before he went off the board too.

Lance Z was saying Hardesty was falling down boards because of injuries, so Ben Tate was THE running back in this draft in terms of value. :D

We also got another 3rd round pick :D

OG John Jerry
FS Brandon Ghee
OG Jon Asamoah
DT Geno Atkins
FS Morgan Burnett
CB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah
DE Daniel Te'o-Nesheim

Great move, again.

Ben Tate>Ryan Mathews IMO.

I love the fact we got another 3rd.

I liked the idea of getting Golden Tate as our #2 also.

I like it ! Tate & Slaton. Mr. Inside & Mr. Outside.
So what are we doing with our 2 3rd rounders now ?
