Official 2016 NFL Draft - Round 2 & 3 Thread

[Keith]

So the Texans found a much needed pass catcher in the first round. What are they looking for on Day 2? Some help on the OL and DL? Perhaps a TE? Who's the best available?

Texans start the day with pick #52 overall in the second round and pick #85 overall in the third round.

1st round talent still available:
WR Michael Thomas Ohio St
NT Jarran Reed Alabama
DE Bronson Kaufusi BYU
WR Sterling Shepard Oklahoma
DE Kevin Dodd Clemson
DE Carl Nassib Penn St
OT Jason Spriggs Indiana
NT A'Shawn Robinson Alabama

Players I gave a 2nd round grade:
RB Kenneth Dixon La Tech
RB Derrick Henry Alabama
TE Hunter Henry Arkansas
TE Austin Hooper Stanford
TE Nick Vannett Ohio St
LBO Shilique Calhoun Michigan St
NT Maliek Collins Nebraska
NT Javon Hargrave S.Carolina St.
NT Hassan Ridgeway Texas
S Sean Davis Maryland

Jason Spriggs intriguing me.

DE Bronson Kaufusi BYU 6' 6" 285 1.69 4.87 7.03 4.25 30" 9' 3" 25 9 3/4" 34 1/2"
DE Kevin Dodd Clemson 6' 5" 277 1.69 4.86 7.18 4.44 30.5" 9'2" DNP 10" 34"
DE Carl Nassib Penn St 6' 6 7/8" 277 1.62 4.84 7.27 4.37 28.5" 9' 6" 21 10 3/8" 34 1/2"

I don't need a WR now that Fuller is on board. I see plenty of 300lbs DTs who can be groomed to replace Wilfork. I can get a TE in the 3rd or 4th. There are only 3 players who can provide some pass rush from the DE position that Crick's departure demands to be filled.

My next 3 rounds....
52: R2P21 DE BRONSON KAUFUSI BRIGHAM YOUNG
85: R3P22 TE NICK VANNETT OHIO STATE
119: R4P21 DT MALIEK COLLINS NEBRASKA

Being able to select M. Collins in the 4th round allows me to pass on Reed and Robinson in the 2nd round. I have big faith in Kaufusi and would take him @ #52 to replace Crick. Vannett can block and be an upgrade at TE, so I can pass on Henry and Hooper in the 2nd round.

Kevin Dodd to the Titans.....Leaving Kaufusi and Nassib.

Traded up again, this time with the Falcons to #50. Gave up their sixth round pick.

Take Nick Martin, center from Notre Dame.
