Official 2015 NFL Draft - Round 2 & 3 Thread

[Keith]

Top of the board seems to set up with some nice trade up options. Gregory fell out of the first round, as did the safety Collins, some decent WRs like Strong & DGB, LB Harold, plus TE Maxx Williams.

OK so who was the target at 32? The rumor was we wanted to trade back into the 1st round and grab NE pick at 32, who was the target and is he still there?

Was it Gregory? Was it Dorsett? Was it Brown?

Is the guy still on the board and do they try to get move up tonight to 33-35 range?

The news broke when the Colts were on the clock IIRC.

If we wait until 51 my targets are now a)Chris Conley, WR, Georgia, b) Devin Funchess, WR/TE, Michigan, c) Jaquiski Tartt, S, Samford.

610 sports radio with Mike Melster & Seth Payne (former Texans NT), say it was the guy that Indy took with their first round pick. Thy say the trade was predicated on Dorsett being on the board when the Pats were picking, but of course he wasn't so the deal was set aside. So FWIW, that's what the 610 crew is claiming.

Probably just as well that the Texans didn't make that trade. They would have had to give up too much to move up that high - likely a 2nd and 3rd or a 2nd and next year's 2nd.

The rumor is the Texans twice tried to trade back into the first round. First time they were after Bud Dupree, then the second time was for Dorsett.

If so, then it makes me wonder how much the team is interested in guys like Gregory, Strong, and DGB. There's just so many good options to start the 2nd round, I hope they don't get too antsy. Trading up for Dorsett is not something I would have been thrilled with, and I am sure the price to move up for Dupree was cost prohibitive.

I would have been very excited with getting Dorsett. I liked the young man immensely. Take the top off defense type speed, a true slot guy, and great hands.

I don't understand the Colts not going OL or front 7 in defense. When is Dorsett going to play for them?

But if you hit on someone in the 1st, you have that 5th year option. That could be a fairly substantial money/cap saver.

picks 51 and 82 coming up tonight if no trades.

if possible rumored trades were for OLB and WR, then perhaps those are positions we might target today.

just depends on many things, how the draft will flow.

And I like the CB we picked in the first round. Does make sense in a passing league and our division.
