I thought the AFC was the better conference and, yet, here they are with the first overall pick then picks 4-12.

Hey! I'm now "training camp fodder", which I guess is better than being a training camp mudder.

Dang it! There goes Stewart... Sorry, I just can't take this POS Texans RB situation any longer!!!!

Jaguars sure gave a lot there. From an AFC South perspective, I like that trade.

Jags must have thought there was a steep drop off after Harvey and decided they couldn't take the chance of missing on him. It does look like a panic buy.

Dang! There went the guy with the cervix! I was hoping he'd fall to us.

Mendenhall still on the board (likely going here to the Lions). Albert still on the board as are most of the CBs.

If I'm Smith, I'm checking the phone lines for any trade down offers.

Texans would cream their pants if Albert or DRC were left on the board when they pick.

HPF Bob · #7 04-26-2008, 04:45 PM

The Chefs make a trade up. For whom, I wonder?

They took Prince Albert. Rats!

I don't think we are looking at the other two OTs slated to go high- they are RT material.

So, I think we are left with Mendenhall or a corner.

The Cardinals still have Edgerrin so I don't think they are looking at RB and I think the Lions knew this.

EndZoneSeats · #9 04-26-2008, 04:49 PM

Worst case scenario: Mendenhall and DRC with the next two picks. What, then, for the Texans?

popanot · #10 04-26-2008, 04:44 PM

If the Lions pass on Mendenhall, the only team keeping from him from us is the Cardinals. Oh, that and the Texans' boneheadedness about plugging in crappy RBs.

popanot · #11 04-26-2008, 04:50 PM

Ok, Alberts is gone and we're 2 picks away... I can see it now... Mendenhall to AZ and DRC to Detroit. Sigh...

Or vice-versa. Come on, Texans... Trade with AZ and get Mendenhall!!!!

EndZoneSeats · #13 04-26-2008, 04:53 PM

My guess would be Duane Brown if no trade down.

HPF Bob · #14 04-26-2008, 04:32 PM

Getting down towards our pick (currently at 14).

Will the Texans try to move up?

Mendenhall is still on the board as are all the corners except McKelvin and all the OTs except Long and Clady.

About as we expected...
