Official 2016 NFL Draft - Round 4-7 Thread

[Roy P]

The Texans pick is coming up....I really like Kenneth Dixon, even with Lamar Miller on the squad. Westerman seems redundant with Nick Martin here. Dak Prescott is probably not the selection, though I would be all in. The TE Jerell Adams or even OG Connor McGovern would make sense.

[Roy P]

They select Tyler Ervin at #119.
Using my draft board, I would have drafted these guys for the Texans:
#21 WR Josh Doctson
#50 DE Bronson Kaufusi
#85 TE Nick Vannett
#119 RB Kenneth Dixon

[HPF Bob]

Dang it. We passed on a chance to upgrade at WR.

[Nconroe]

Another fast guy at RB, Tyler Irving, low 40 yd dash at 4.24.

Flexible at positions including special teams.

Any super fast safety or CB left on the board?

Scratching my head over this Morrison pick for the Colts and how in the hell Kenneth Dixon is still available. He is going to be a steal in this draft.Then Ted Thompson takes another one of MY GUYS for the Packers. I would rather have Blake Martinez over Antonio Morrison 7 days a week. Just noticed that Thompson took Kyler Fackrell too in the 3rd round when Shilique Calhoun was off the board for the Colts, Fackrell would have been nice to have instead of La'Raven Clark.

My other nemesis, Ozzie Newsome takes my running back Kenneth Dixon.

And the Cowboys steal my QB Dak Prescott @ #135.

[Nconroe]

I don't like Cowboys, but I like that QB pick.

[popanot]

The Irving pick is a real head scratcher for me. Not that he's a bad player, but we just drafted Miller, who I think can play some RB if need be. That along with having Hunt. I just think we had a bigger need than another RB, especially one that high.

[Roy P]

Tyler Ervin is a small gadget player. Trindon Holiday or Darren Sproles? Who knows, but he does have return ability which is something that I believe that they were looking for. Same thing with Braxton Miller. Personally, I would have rather had Kenneth Dixon as a potential player who might have to start if Lamar Miller goes down with an injury. The backup RB should have the ability to keep the same offensive philosophy of running the ball and not have to resort to Wildcat packages or bubble screens. It would also keep Miller fresh by being able to split carries. Ervin will have a specific role on Special teams and a 3rd down back coming out of the backfield for passes.

At his size, Ervin looks more like a slot receiver than a running back. Spartans coaches got him the ball in the backfield regularly the past two years, however, and it paid dividends as he led the team in rushing in 2014 (888 yards, four scores) and 2015 (1,469 yards, 13 touchdowns). Ervin's likely to play a rusher/receiver/returner role in the Dexter McCluster mold on Sundays, as he caught 73 passes for 642 yards the past two seasons in addition to his rushing work. His ability as a kick returner (2,374 career yardage, three scores) should also earn him credit among scouts.

Good deal, he returns kicks.
