Your 2008 NFL Draft LIVE Thread! [Day Two]
Let's keep it going with Day Two discussion in this thread.
I gotta believe that running back and cornerback are going to get heavy consideration with the next couple picks. I've kinda had my eye on Kevin Smith. |

I'm looking at Carl Nicks (not going to happen after reaching for Duane Brown), Cliff Avril (doubtful with Shaun Thompson), Dre Moore, Andre Caldwell, Marcus Howard (see Avril), Jeremy Thompson, Jeremy Zuttah (see Nicks), Charles Godfrey, Quentin Demps, Antwaun Molden, and Tashard Choice.
I'd probably take Dre Moore (I've been saying that all along) but wouldn't mind Jeremy Thompson. However, the Texans are probably going to take Godfrey or Molden. That wouldn't be too bad, in my opinion. |

Day 2 starts off with a bang with 2 3rd round picks. I like Kevin Smith's running style and durability. I also kind of like Tashard Choice in the later rounds. Both backs fit the Texans' running style pretty well.
IMO, nobody really stands out from the CB class. It's a bit of a crapshoot between guys like Justin King, Charles Godfrey and Antwaun Molden. They're all good prospects, but who knows how they'll develop. I think it's a good time to find a good pass rusher to compliment Mario. I like Chris Ellis with either picks in the 3rd round assuming he doesn't have any medical red flags. Also, if he isn't picked by the time Texans pick, Dan Connor would be a great value pick. |

Luckily, we have an extra 3rd round pick from the Ravens, so Jeremy Thompson is too tempting to let slide @ #79. If you put Thompson on the DL with TJ, Amobi, and Mario - we might not have to blitz and could play more Zone coverage. I'm shocked that Connor is still on the board. Somebody is going to be VERY happy when they are able to draft him tomorrow. I'd guess St. Louis, Detroit, Atlanta, New England, Baltimore, Kansas City, or San Francisco is going to get a steal. |

I'm talking about Chaun Thompson. Are you talking about Jeremy? He's an every down DE. Last edited by Roy P; 04-26-2008 at 09:45 PM. |

oh... I forgot to add, I would love to take a look at Frank Okam in the 3rd round. I know we have already drafted 2 DTs in the 1st round in the past, but his combination of size and athleticism doesn't come around very often. I think he has the versatility to play both 1 or 2-gap at the DT. Considering our LBs are a bit on the smallish side, it might be a good idea to have that big 2-gap guy that can engage 2 blockers at a time.

I don't know how good he'd be at run support on 1st and 2nd down. Did he play LB at all in college?

I think we are getting confused between the OLB we have Chaun Thompson and the DE I want Jeremy Thompson.

How do you think Chris Ellis compares with Jeremy Thompson? I like Chris Ellis's numbers in college, and he looks like he has a good motor. |

I like your other possibilities, but put me down as "not a Dan Conner fan". I've never been impressed with the guy.

Crapjackers. Lions traded up to take Smith with the first pick on Day Two.

Aw hell. And there goes Godfrey to the Panthers.

There goes my RB, Kevin Smith. Can't wait to see a gimp Chris Brown, a gimp Chris Taylor, a gimp grandpa Ahmad Green, a fat snail Dayne (yes, he'll probably end up on the roster knowing how the coaches - for some strange reason - love the guy), and a midget Darius Walker running behind this 'project' OL. Should be another a fun year for Schaub.
Oh well... Maybe the Texans will finally appease the Orangebloods and draft Charles. |

There goes Charles to KC. Unbelievable how some teams see the value in having two good, young RBs on the roster while we just fill the position with fodder. Go ahead, give me the Broncos example and I'll tell you the last time they won a Superbowl they had a HOFer at RB. In addition, they're constantly looking for replacements. That should tell you the theory is flawed.

Jeremy Thompson has a motor, better size to play DE, is strong against the run, plays disciplined, and could develop into a better pass-rusher. |

Antwaun Molden - CB. Seems to be a pretty solid pick based on his measureables.

Was at Toledo before transferring to Eastern Kentucky. Great athlete -- 23 reps and sub-4.4 40 at the combine -- long arms, can jump, solid tackler. Raw and may lack instincts..
