Official 2011 NFL Draft Round 2 & 3 Thread

[popanot]

What I would do is move up to get Aaron Williams. What they'll probably do is stand pat and take Kyle Rudolph or someone to backup our ILB's or something.

[nunusguy]

They gotta get a pass-rusher with their next pick, and at the very least 2 of them with the remaining picks they have tonight and tomorrow. I'd be really surprised if they went to a position besides OLB, even corner, with their 2nd round pick ? All indications are the Texans want to get a vet corner,
and I'm thinking that the Texans have enough "inside-info" about when FA will open up and are confidant they can their man whoever that may be ?

[WMH]

If Williams is gone, wouldn't mind seeing a Brooks Reed, Justin Houston, or Rahim Moore.
Need a S and an OLB today, IMO.

Day 3 CB's would be fine. That spot should be addressed in FA too, whenever that starts.

With Watt on board, we need an edge rusher to get back there and cause some troubles. A legitimate pass rush will work WONDERS for our secondary.

[Blitzwood]

I think in the second I'd have to go OLB. If we wait until the third most of the quality OLB are gone. With Watt being as slow as he is, we'll need some speed, maybe:

A. Ayers
J. Houston
B Reed
J Sheard
Marvin Austin


3rd round

Brandon Harris
Curtis Brown
Ras I Dowling
A Black
B Burton
N.Irving
C Matthews
B Carter
L. Hankerson
B Harris
K. Shepperd
A. Dent
Martin Parker
Jarvis Jenkins
J Casey
Drake Nevis

[Nconroe]

There seems to be quite a few good OLB, CB remaining.

Wonder if they might now trade down to get an extra 2nd or 3rd round pick?

[WMH]

PFT 2nd Rd. Mock has us taking Ayers.
Dowling, Houston, Paea, Harris, Moch were still on thier board, but taken in the 2nd.

So, since our beloved Texans follow Mocks so closely.......
We will take none of these guys.

Okay, we drafted Watt so the Bowers pick might be a waste and he may be off the board by the time we draft. Yet, if he's still there when we pick, I'd be inclined to take him anyway. Then again, I don't know the prognosis on his medical chart and it has to be bad if nobody drafted him in the first round. So, here is the rest of my best....

1 OLB Brooks Reed Arizona 6'3" 263 4.65
2 OLB Justin Houston Georgia 6'3" 270 4.62
3 OLB Jabaal Sheard Pittsburgh 6'3" 264 4.68
4 ILB Chris Carter Fresno St 6'1" 248 4.58
5 CB Curtis Brown Texas 6'0" 185 4.51
6 CB Brandon Harris Miami 5'10" 191 4.46
7 S Aaron Williams Texas 6'0" 204 4.55
8 CB Ras-I-Dowling Virginia 6'1" 198 4.4
9 OLB Sam Acho Texas 6'2" 260 4.67
10 ILB Martez Wilson Illinois 6'4" 250 4.42
11 ILB Bruce Carter North Carolina 6'2" 241 4.57
12 DT Kenrick Ellis Hampton 6'5" 346 5.19
13 S Rahim Moore UCLA 6'0" 202 4.58
14 CB Davon House New Mexico St 6'1" 200 4.44

25 CB Rashad Carmichael Va Tech 5'10" 182 4.38
26 LB Colin McCarthy Miami 6'1" 238 4.59

I really couldn't let this go...as much as I would not have selected Watt at #11, you can't say that he's 'slow' and then turn around and say we need some 'speed' with Akeem Ayers!

Watt is 6'5" 290lbs and ran a 4.81 - 40 and a 6.88 -Cone.
Ayers is 6'3" 254lbs and ran a 4.81 - 40 and did not register one of the fastest times in the Cone so it wasn't reported.

The 2 guys I'd like at OLB, Brooks Reed was clocked at 7.11 and Justin Houston turned in a 6.95 in their 3-Cone drill, so Watt did better than those guys in terms of quickness. Even the much-heralded Von Miller scored a 6.7 at the much lighter weight of 246lbs. So, Watt is NOT slow.

Just found out that Ayers ran a 7.52 in his Cone drill. Not worried about him going to the Titans.

[Roy P]

Brooks Reed, Justin Houston, Chris Carter, Curtis Brown, Brandon Harris, Sam Acho, Martez Wilson, Kenrick Ellis, or Rahim Moore. I'd be happy with Davon House or Jarvis Jenkins too.

Please.....come on Texans.

[Arky]

Redskins take Jarvis Jenkins @ #41. Texans up next....

I'll take Brooks Reed for $100, Alex....

Thank you Wade, may I have another!

[Blitzwood]

What did we give up?

[Roy P]

If we walk away with a NT like Kenrick Ellis and a FS like Mark Legree, I'll give this draft an A+
