Maybe I should adopt a second team like everyone else, you know, increase my odds some.

I liked the Colts when we had Eric Dickerson.....before the Texans had a Franchise. I can't help it if they are in the same division. Since I live here, they are my favorite team when they don't play my Colts.

[Roy P]

The Seahawks give up the farm to trade up for Tyler Lockett. He might be worth it.

[Roy P]

OLB Eli Harold Virginia
WR Jaelen Strong Az State
OT T.J. Clemmings Pittsburgh
WR Rashad Greene Fla State
QB Bryce Petty Baylor
DE Henry Anderson Stanford
OLB Owamagbe Odighizuwa UCLA
NT Grady Jarrett Clemson
DE Xavier Cooper Wash State
RB David Johnson N. Iowa
FS Alex Carter Stanford
RB Jay Ajayi Boise St


My board when the Texans select Jaelen Strong. I'm pleased with this.

[Arky]

Texans on the clock - trade-up!

Texans take Jaelen Strong!

[chuck]

That's a Strong pick!

You're from Kentucky, right? I figured Indy was the closest team to where you grew up save the Tacks but that you had too much self-respect to be a Tennessee fan.

Posey to the Jets? I guess now we'll find out if he can actually play. I suspect he can. There must have been some sort of attitude issue with him.

Posey + 5th + 7th

The Texans are clearly targeting certain players in this draft and not waiting for the draft to come to them. Might only end up 5 or 6 players this draft. I'm not going to be surprised to see them trade into the 4th RD somehow to get another guy they want (hopefully Duke Johnson).

Pretty sure they would have to dig into '16 picks to do so. I think they've only got comp picks left.

Yeah, there wasn't a team in Tennessee when I was growing up. It was either the Colts or Bungles.

[chuck]

Uh-oh. According to what I read Strong isn't twitchy.

[painekiller]

I like the Strong pick. Shocked he was still on the board.

[Roy P]

Tevin Coleman and Owamagbe Odighizuwa off the board. I would rather have David Johnson and Anthony Chickillo. I am flabbergasted that Eli Harold is still available.

[Roy P]

Saints take Grayson as the #3 QB. Thank you, Jesus! Bryce Petty is still available.

[chuck]

If anyone had Grayson as the first QB off the board you are good.

[chuck]

And by first of course I mean first other than the consensus top-two.

Maybe Trader Rick can dangle Cushing and a five gallon tub of topical steroids and get us back in this thing.

Late to the party, but my two cents:

McKinney: They've been looking for another ILB on the cheap since DeMeco Ryans got hurt -- Sharpton was a 4th rounder, got Dent for TJ Yates, who they were going to cut anyway. Most likely a role player at first (even if he starts, since he will probably be coming out in nickel and dime situations) and insurance for Cushing.

Strong: If they'd taken him in the 1st most wouldn't have considered it a reach, or at least not a major one. Now the biggest WR on the team.

I'm glad they got something for Posey since they seemed to have no real interest in playing him.
