  • Texans love UW Tight Ends. I'm jealous at a level - but still love Finley.
    The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

    • Dorin Dickerson has been high up on Mel Kiper's best available list since the start of today's drafting.
      One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

      • Yeah, corner appears to be picked over. What about Donovan Warren? Anybody know anything about him. Of the highest ranked guys left, he's one of the few that is a bigger corner.

              neal seems to have a pretty long injury history just like harrell did. he's also a pick for a position we don't really need, like JH was. I hope i'm wrong though
              Here's Neal's injury history:
              Redshirted with a knee injury.
              Missed 5 games with turf toe
              Played through a torn labrum.

              It's not anything exceptional. Big guys are going to get banged up. The fact that the guy would play like 80 plays a game at Purdue means that he's probably not that fragile.
              Just remember the rule that everybody knows. Two major injuries in college and you NEVER draft them.
              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                  I'd say CB or OLB. Also could use RB, QB, TE. Of course, they could really like somebody that isn't playing a position of need.

                  Dan Lefevour? Would be a nice project for MM..
                  I'm thinkin the same thing
                  Bedard is on twitter slamming Lefevour saying that he's glad he's dropped because his ego needs to be put in check. Saying stuff like he wouldn't throw at the combine and wouldn't talk to any team without going threw his agent or something like that.

                    I agree. Guy isn't a dunce, but pretty over-rated, IMHO.

                      Consider Holliday here ?

                        Read & React: Reacts quickly to throws in front of him, although his footwork is not always sound. Struggles to get to jump balls even when in ideal position. Could improve anticipating routes.

                        Man Coverage: Quick hip turn and feet to change direction but is not fluid in his movements. When he finds the ball, has the hand-eye coordination to make a play but doesn't have great hands. Comes out of his high, slow backpedal early and gets turned around to give up easy completions. Loses his balance when trying to plant, affecting his ability to close. Plays a lot of press-bail coverage, yet is inconsistent staying with quicker receivers downfield. Must work on getting his hands on the receiver within the five-yard area to knock them off their route.

                        Zone Coverage: Pounds and wraps up receivers making receptions in front of him. Jumps routes when quarterback locks onto a receiver. Jumps underneath routes to make tackles. Poor backpedal, allows receivers to eat up cushion.

                        Closing/Recovery: Physical closing on receivers. Takes wasted choppy steps coming out of his backpedal. Body control when closing in zone coverage is erratic. Has trouble finding the ball consistently and sometimes fails to get his head around. Can lose track of his man and will mug receivers when looking back to the quarterback.

                        Run Support: Works hard to get off tight end blocks on the edge when supporting the run. Is not strong enough to rip off consistently, put will attempt to force plays inside and reach the sideline. Backs typically don't elude him once in the grasp. Stays home against misdirection plays and cutbacks.

                        Tackling: Secure tackler in the open field who brings his hips and wraps with authority. Strong enough to knock the ball out of the receiver's hands during or after the catch is secured. Effective arm tackler but bends at the waist to tackle in space instead of dropping his hips, will miss tackles against NFL backs. Lunges and leaps at the feet of running backs when supporting the run, which is not acceptable at the next level.

                        Intangibles: Loves the game. Plays with passion and toughness. Directs other defensive backs into position. Father, Alvin, played football at New Mexico State, his godfather is former USC and Chicago Bears safety Mark Carrier, and cousin, Chuckie Miller, was a defensive back for UCLA, the Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions.

                            Too bad we couldn't package our 5th and 6th of one of the better CB's.

                            Still plenty of players left though; I just don't know which one to want anymore
                            How about RBs Dwyer or Dixon? Matt Tenant, C? Mitch Petrus, G? Shad Jones, S? Austen Lane, DE/OLB? Greg Hardey, DE? Arthur Moats, OLB? Trindon Holliday, WR/SP? Larry Asante, S? AJ Jefferson, CB? Brian Jackson, CB? Syd'Quan Thompson, CB?

                            Thanks for the list OS PA; I was just reading up and Moats is very intriguing as is Greg Hardy. Now that Schofield is gone no strong feelings. Would be excited about a kick return specialist or a pass rusher
                            I like the way you think.
                            Tennant and Moats are interesting
                            TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER
