I'm not in the war room, barrett, but I'd say the Texan brass blinked a little when Bridgewater went one pick before their pick and Garropolo went 2 picks before their pick...

Maybe you have information to the contrary?

I never saw anything that indicates we had any interest in Bridgewater. It seems of the 3, he was the least likely. Sure, they could have hid their interest, but sitting at 33 shows a lack of interest in Bridgewater more than it does getting "scooped." I am sure the Texans knew a trade up was in play for half a dozen teams from picks 23-32, and yet they sat and watched. That does not look like a team that got scooped. It looks like a team that didn't want Teddy Bridgewater.

If he had lasted to 33 do you think we would have picked him? I think we would have traded down with someone who wanted him.

Now we have drafted a NT and QB, I'd like to get an ILB. Jordan Tripp would be nice or even Avery Williamson or Ronald Powell. Just saying.

Can't believe DT Caraun Reid is still on the board.

Thanks for the info, Warren. I stand corrected.

Me too, Popanot

Rick Smith made a fairly strong hint in a Q-&-A the other day that Reed is now likely to go inside next to Cushing since we've now got JD & Mercilus at OLB.
OK so I'm wondering about O'brien's possible interest in a slot receiver in the Texans remaining picks, a subject/position he's been known to talk about.

Okay, with that in mind

WR Michael Campanaro Wake Forest 5' 9" 192 4.46 6.77 4.01 39 20 10' 2"

What about another RB or TE?

RB Lache Seastrunk Baylor
RB Tyler Gaffney Stanford
TE Arthur Lynch Georgia
RB David Fluellen Toledo
RB George Atkinson Notre Dame

Miami took my Bulldog TE. Really happy we got Feidorowicz now.

After the second day of practice this week, O'Brien said, after seeing receivers on the squad we already have several WR who can play the slot.

Any thoughts on getting another Big DT for Romeo?

NT Anthony Johnson LSU 6' 2 1/2" 308
NT Zack Kerr Delaware 6' 1 3/8" 326


My board is bare of any DBs.

OLB James Gayle Virgina Tech 6' 3 3/4" 259
OLB Devon Kennard USC 6' 3" 249
OLB Howard Jones Shepard 6' 2 1/2" 235
NT Zack Kerr Delaware 6' 1 3/8" 326
OT James Hurst North Carolina 6'5" 296

I like that, too, since we don't know how healthy Nix is going to be. But right now the secondary looks pretty rough.

It was initially a joke. Did you not see the groaning in this forum when we got "scooped"?

Got it. .

RB or CB. You can never have too many guys competing for a CB spot.

100% agree.

I was hoping Ed Reynolds would continue to fall to us in the 6th, but eagles just took him in the 5th, great value.

I want a db, rb, og, or lb here.

[Arky]

Murray (Chiefs) and McCarron (Bengals) go back-to-back @ 5.23 and 5.24.....
