I do question if Spievey drops to the 4th, I think he is a 3rd rounder, but with all the risers someone has to drop. Newhouse is starting to get some buzz, so we maybe out of luck there also. McFaden is going jump up the boards after running a 4.40 at his proday. He measured in at 5-11 and 181, taller and heavier than thought. He is the guy missed by the combine invites that get drafted in the middle rounds.

1. S Earl Thomas 5'10" 195 4.44 Texas 2. CB Brandon Ghee 6'0" 191 4.45 Wake Forest 3. RB Ben Tate 5'11" 218 4.43 Auburn 4. DT Linval Joseph 6'5" 328 5.12 East Carolina 5. CB AJ Jefferson 6'0" 193 4.49 Fresno St. 6. RB Lonyae Miller 5'11" 220 4.52 Fresno St. 6. DT Jay Ross 6'3" 317 5.15 East Carolina 7.

Agreed Draftsite.com's list is off on a few guys, IMO.

Mock Draft #22 Mar 26th, DraftTek
They have us taking: 1 20 Kyle Wilson Boise State CB 2 51 John Jerry Mississippi OG 3 81 Taylor Price WRF Ohio 4 118 Ben Tate RBF Auburn 5 150 C.J. Wilson DE43 East Carolina 6 187 Myron Rolle FS Florida State 6 197 Nate Collins DT43 Virginia 7 227 Adrian Tracy OLB43 William & Mary Nutty 3rd and 5th., I don't see that at all unless someone is traded or .... My cherry pick 1A 20 Earl Thomas Texas FS 51 Jon Asamoah OG Iowa 81 Mitch Petrus OG Arkansas 118 Ben Tate RBF Auburn 150 Myron Lewis, CB Vanderbilt 187 Lonyae Miller RBF Fresno State 197 Donovan Warren CB Michigan 227 Deji Karim Southern Illinois RB/KR Brown Petrus Caldwell Asamoah Winston would be the projected 2011 OL Lewis and Warren provide more depth and ST guys who should push for playing time as they learn the pro game. RB,RB,RB,RB Bob McNair gets his wish with solid depth. Karim might be a huge homerun watch the video My cherry pick 1B 20 Mike Iupati Idaho OG 51 Tyson Alualu DT43 California 81 Syd'Quan Thompson CB California 118 Ben Tate RBF Auburn 150 Marshall Newhouse OG TCU 187 Robert Johnson FS Utah 197 Donovan Warren CB Michigan 227 Jameson Konz Kent State FB/WR/H-Back

Using Drafttek's 3/26:
What Smithiak will probably do- 20. Kyle Wilson, CB (knee jerk reaction after letting Dunta walk) 51. Nate Allen, FS (Smithiak have been studing Super Bowl film on how to defeat the Colts) 81. Toby Gerhart, RB (Gerhart gives our running game a pulse after McNair does some arm-twisting) 118. Arthur Jones, DT (Okoye feels the heat after the Texans find Jones at 118) 150. Myron Lewis, CB (Smithiak feels Lewis can start down the road) 187. Jeff Byers, OL (3 year starter at LG at USC) 197. Stevenson Sylvester, OLB (Diles' competition in the offseason) 227. Leigh Tiffin, K My Cherry picks: 20. Earl Thomas, FS 51. Lamar Houston, DT 81. Ben Tate, RB 118. Jamar Chaney, OLB 150. Walter McFadden, CB 187. Joshua Moore, CB 197. Nick Stringer, OT/OG 227. Jacob Ramsey, RB |

My Cherry picks 1b:
20. Kyle Wilson, CB 51. Jahvid Best, RB 81. Reshad Jones, FS 118. Amari Spievey, CB 150. Kavell Conner, OLB 187. Charles Scott, RB 197. Nate Collins, DT 227. Sergio Render, OG |

I also realized a mistake Warren was picked before I grabbed him, so he was replaced by Jay Ross, a solid DT from East Carolina. I still have RBs A, B and C in this mock. Depth and more Depth. Tate and Miller are solid, Karim is a fire plug and can return kicks The OL changes Brown Smith Caldwell Asamoah Winston

We have put a lot of time and draft picks into the OL, DL, & DB's in past years. I only hope we get it right this time.

March 30th
#20 S Earl Thomas 5'10" 195 4.44 Texas
#51 RB Ben Tate 5'11" 218 4.43 Auburn #81 DT Geno Atkins 6'2" 293 4.86 Georgia #118 OG Marshall Newhouse 6'3" 326 5.00 TCU #150 CB AJ Jefferson 6'0" 193 4.49 Fresno St. #187 CB Kevin Thomas 6'0" 192 4.41 USC #197 LB Simoni Lawrence 6'1" 232 4.59 Minnesota #227 DT Jay Ross 6'3" 317 5.15 East Carolina Earl Thomas covers up a lot of mistakes in the Secondary. Ben Tate is my favorite All-Around RB. Geno Atkins can get in the backfield and blow up plays. Marshall has the combination between Size/Athleticism as well as being a relative "bargain" in the 4th round. Jefferson & Thomas have size and athleticism - but they will need some coaching. Lawrence is my prototypical WILL and since I didn't draft 'Spoon, I'll take a flyer here late. Ross is a big body to take on double teams, but he has some moves to get in the QB's face. I'm pretty happy with this draft.

Would Atkins play along side Okoye or instead of him?

They would rotate, keeping both of them fresh. Atkins has better penetration than Okoye in my opinion. Perhaps we could get some looks at a 3-4 defense where Okoye-Atkins-Williams have hands in the dirt with 4 "LBs" Barwin - Ryans - Lawrence - Cushing (Lawrence played some SS so it's almost like being in Nickle). Then the Secondary would look like Reeves - Thomas - Jefferson - Quinn. At least that is one combination of several I'd like to be able to throw out on the field during passing situations.

That is interesting. The league is obviously tilting toward 3-4 anyway and IMO the Texans are in a position to also move to a 3-4 if they had a nose tackle. I was watching NFL.com and they were talking about nose tackles, even Cam Thomas and Torrell Troupe flying up the draft. They even put Mount Cody at the bottom of the 1st, perhaps.
We don't really have a NT (maybe DRob-2). Atkins or Ross could be one, I suppose. Does it take special skills to be a NT rather than a DT? I wonder if Kubiak/Bush would entertain that notion? I guess that would change our draft strategy somewhat, maybe an additional LB. |
