Official 2010 NFL Draft Round 4, 5, 6 & 7 Thread

[nunusguy]

Trindon Holliday (born April 27, 1986) is a top-ranked American sprinter currently competing for Louisiana State University. He also plays running back and wide receiver for the LSU Tigers football team. He is regarded as one of the fastest players in football.[1]
He demonstrated his sprinting ability in the 100-meter dash at the 2007 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where he recorded 10.07 seconds in the final – ahead of Walter Dix and second only to Tyson Gay.[2] This qualified him for the 2007 World Championships in Athletics but he opted to not compete, preferring to begin the football season with the LSU Tigers.[3] He continued to race, however, and reached the semi-finals in the 100 m at the 2008 United States Olympic Trials the following year.[4] During the 2010 NFL Combine, ESPN reported that he ran a 4.22, which would have beaten Chris Johnson's NFL record fastest time of 4.24. However, NFL.com said he did not break the records, listing Holliday's times at 4.27 and 4.32.[5]

My guy is faster than your guy.
This is gonna be a fun pick to watch. I've seen this guy in big-time track meets. When they use the term "world-class sprinter", they mean that for real on this speed merchant.

This draft is the definition of why the texans are a mediocre football team that has no substantial identity. No sense of any real direction and in my opinion do a sub par job of identifying needs.

I absolutely hate the laissez faire attitude this team takes toward addressing the lines.

2006: Mario, Spencer, Winston
2007: Okoye, BFrye, Studdard
2008: DBrown, Okam
2009: Barwin, Caldwell
2010: Earl Mitchell, SSmith

okay so that's 3 1sts, 1 second, 4 3rds, 2 5th, 2 6ths

not to mention: trade for Chris Myers, signing of Antonio Smith, signing of Sean Cody, signing of Rashod Butler, signing of Wade Smith


I don't know about you, but it seems like they've been working at improving the lines to me.

I definitely don't agree. You look at how Smith maneuvered, and he covered every major need we had. CB, RB, DT, G and a free agent G... What did he miss? Also added more depth at TE, LB, CB, and found a kick returner that reminds me of JJ Moses...but faster and quicker.

All around great draft in my opinion.

I am so with you. We need to hire Gruden and draft OL OL DT DT way before you go with a ST guy from Miami, and then another ST guy from LSU. I like Holiday but that is a luxury and it points to Andre Davis being gone.

[painekiller]

Jeff Byers? Or Matthews?

[painekiller]

Or Lonyae Miller, or Warren is still on the board also.

While I respect your concern about our lines I don't get your suggestion that we don't address the lines in the draft...you may not like the picks but 3 of the last 5 1st rnd picks were lineman...a 2nd last year and a 3rd this year...not to mention Winston was a 3rd too

I remember last year a lot of eye rolling when glover was selected and he turned out to be an excellent pick

same with od

Either way, they got their top rated cb and their top rated rb...inarguably their two biggest holes...then grabbed a dt they clearly think is better than we do

it's make or break this year for this administration so they better be right on these picks, we'll find out in a few months

[painekiller]

BTW anyone else notice that Jags took my favorite late round guy Deji Karim.

[painekiller]

Another TE Dorin Dickerson from Pitt

[painekiller]

Wtf? ????????????

[TexanJedi]

He must have been a guy they had rated as going a couple of rounds earlier. TE city.

Unbelievable!! Has more upside than Graham, IMO.

They started off so well, then Jackson , Tate, Mitchell I can live with.

But then they take an ILB that is undersized, slow and can not cover. Then they take a H back type TE, then a nice pick, CB from Northwestern.

After that they took a solid OG who fits there system. A system that appears to be outdated with the influx of 3-4 NTs that can play.

Then we take a KR/PR so goodbye Andre Davis, Jacoby your on notice. And finally another Hback? I know we do not have any healthy TEs but you can get TE as UDFA all day long. Dickerson could be a matchup problem. But he is not a WR at all.

I will not question the talent of each player, I will how ever question the choice of positions that they took and where they took them. Marciano should not be allow in the draft room any more, they entire 3rd day other than Shelly, are ST only guys on this team.
