Shaping up to be a Fletcher Cox opportunity! Denver and Houston have other needs.
We can finally allow Gerald Warren to finally retire with confidence.

 

[Irish Hooligan]

I will do it how we do it in the draft game since their are two picks ahead here is my list of 3 in order of want:

1. Fletcher Cox

2. Devon Still

3. Mark Barron

 

[Mogamedogz]

You can Eliminate Fletcher Cox as I will be selecting him for Houston.

Sorry guys.

A defensive lineman who can run! Oh my!! He's got my vote too. Then Still. Thinking we might sign Landry. Hope it's just for one year. Would take Barron out of the equation. Might be able to get Nick Perry or Andre Branch at 31. F. Cox and N. Perry would do wonders for our pass rush. Not perfect players. But, will get after the qb.

I'd love to hear your reasoning for Houston drafting another DE after already having JJ Watt and Antonio Smith.

Sorry guys.

Let me help you Mogamedogz... an impartial assessment of Houston's needs.

WalterFootball.com: 2012 NFL Offseason Page - Houston Texans - Team Needs, Season Preview, Free Agents, Salary Cap

looks like OL and WR to me.

 

[rookBoston]

OT Mike Adams - Ohio State
WR Stephen Hill - Georgia Tech

 

[Mogamedogz]

I'd love to hear your reasoning for Houston drafting another DE after already having JJ Watt and Antonio Smith.

1. He is the BPA on my big board
2. They run a defensive scheme in which he would likely thrive best in
3. You can never have enough talent on the D line (ask the Giants)
4. I can address other perceived team needs in later rounds where I don't feel the talent drop off is as steep.
5. The Texans have shown a willingness to go after higher ceiling/untapped potential guys in the past (see Barwin, Connor)
6. If you wanted to draft for Houston, you had a chance to volunteer. I mock as if I were making the decisions, not necessarily how I think they will (though I cant imagine them passing on Cox if the real draft plays out this way and he slips to 26).

Im aware of all of those sites. And im aware of their needs. But thanks.

But if you want another Connor Barwin pick, it would be Hill. Sky's the limit.

Ah, well, whatever. Warren will just have to stay un-retired for another year. Barron or Still will do for the Pats at 27.

lol Sorry man, I hate to ruin the party. I really do! But Fletcher is not making it to us (IMO).

 

[doesntmatter1]

Even though I am not the biggest fan of Jerel Worthy, I believe BB will love him if the draft fell in this order.

In the NFL draft he's not going to make it to 27 either. We'll have to trade up to get him if we want him that badly. And, I think that might be a decent idea.

I agree on both.

 

[Irish Hooligan]

One of the most maddening and difficult things was picking for the Patriots last year in the mock. It would have killed me if I wasn't bulletproof.

 

[I Augustus]

1) Devon Still DT
2) Mike Adams OT

Most likely this selection will be traded to Vikings ( Stephen Hill WR )

 

[jsull87]

I'd be selecting Devon Still for the pats

 

[alvinnf]

My pick would be Nick Perry from USC.

 

[VrabelJr]

I love Jerel Worthy and I hope BB does, too. He seems like a BB type of DT, handles the run as a first priority.
