DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION NFL Draft: Day 2, Rounds 2-3 Thread

[West Philly Patriot]

Nix sinking like the titanic. A slow, 2 gapping, titanic.

 

[Brady6]

Did they just say Houston has traded up with Philly?

Yes

 

[DaBruinz]

Bears select Will Sutton - DT

 

[Galeb]

Trade garrapolo to the Texans for cj plus their 5th?

My gut is telling me that there may be a little bad blood brewing between Houston and NE. I wonder if there was a contingency like if Crapollo was off the board they'd trade for Mallet. They turned in 65 pretty damn fast compared to their first two picks.

Quite a few teams play the 4-3 under, including the Patriots and Seahawks..

Seahawks don't use the 4-3 under anymore, at all - they use multiple fronts including 6 man lines, the Patriots haven't used the 4-3 under in a while too - New England also have 2 NTs on the roster.

Thanks for the info.

For the record, that's the only reason the Sheli/Rivers trade worked.

 

[Rob0729]

McDougle was rated as an UDFA. Seems like a reach here.

After years of making fun of Belichick of "reaching" for players like this and now they think it is a steal because Idzik made the pick.

 

[DaBruinz]

Texans select Nix

 

[sb1]

Nix to Texans

 

[patchick]

It is funny watching the Jets fans in the crowd looking at each other wondering "Who in the hell is Dexter McDougal?"

Dexter McDougal is the guy the Jets picked to make Jimmy Garappolo look really, really good.

 

[Big-T]

Texans play a 3-4, so picking the nose fits and he's gone in an appropriate place in the draft.

 

[ashley]

There goes Nix to Houston....

 

[Brady6]

Watt, Clowney, and Nix. If they had a QB they'd be looking good in Houston.

 

[gtfanboy]

Houston keeps avoiding QB...maybe they really like Casey Keenum...

 

[DaBruinz]

Seahawks don't use the 4-3 under anymore, at all - they use multiple fronts including 6 man lines, the Patriots haven't used the 4-3 under in a while too - New England also have 2 NTs on the roster.

Pats used the 4-3 Under as their primary front last year. So did Seattle. This idea that they stopped shows you haven't been paying attention.

The Pats have ONE true NT in Wilfork. Neither Siliga, Vellano or Forston are NTs..

 

[Deus Irae]

Nix to Texans

If he can hold up on the line, that defense is going to be very interesting to watch.

 

[Gronkowski123]

houston having a good draft. they need a QB though. maybe murray. all time SEC passing leader

 

[DaBruinz]

Cardinals select Kareem Martin

 

[JackBauer]

Dat Cardinals defense.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Whatever Houston. Bunch of tankers.
