NFL Draft Thread

Kiper and McShay just gave him a so-so review, so he will probably have an amazing carreer.

I like what the Texans are doing..

 

[dillohorn]

Foreman should have came back.

Correct.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Very pleased with what Houston has done as well. Got their QB, upgraded at ILB (been badly needed) and got good value, and got Foreman to pair up with Lamar Miller and again got good value.

Still need to find some secondary help and a RT. They got multiple picks tomorrow. Solid draft so far.

They seemed to have a lot of negative chatter, only strengthens Foreman! Not sure what his deficits are watching him running over, through, and around defenses for 185 yards/game.
Only wish I could watch it on the 40 acres for one more year.

I'm impressed with the Texans. The QB's that I believe are going to be franchise QB's are Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. Now they have Watson and Donta.

They said that he put up his numbers against bad defenses and only caught 13 passes. They weren't so negative, more hohum about it.

Godell is GROSS! Not only is he a terrible commissioner, but he's a booger wiper offer. Probably does it for fun,

Did Roger Goodell wipe a booger on the girl who announced the Bears' draft pick?

It certainly looks like it!

I get what you are saying, but the bulk of the commentary was not positive. Curious how many passes Earl caught his senior year, or Ricky for that matter. Ricky hit the screen at times I believe? I'll have to research.

On their first pick on day 3 the Texans fill another need by drafting a tackle in Bucknell's Julie'n Davenport.

Texans love Clemson players. Take Carlos Watkins to go along with Watson, Hopkins, and Reader.

 

[Oldmanastro]

I'm a Cowboy fan but I'll be rooting for Foreman down in Houston.

I actually love the Texans. Don't understand the forced rivalry with the Boys.

Goes back to Oilers days in '70's. If you were a Oilers fan, you very much disliked the Cowboys. Cowboys always seemed to look down at the Oilers.

O'Brien must have a good relationship with Dabo

They look down on Houston too. Nothing has changed there.

Houston wraps up the draft by picking C/G Kyle Fuller out of Baylor. That is Baylor's 1st and likely only player drafted this year.

KD Cannon, Rick Seals Jones, Speedy Noil all undrafed. NFL is a brutal beast, I'm sure they will get shots as UDFA

They all either left early or were booted from their teams correct?

I wasn't born for another 19 years. I was thirteen when the Texans came into existence and thought it was awesome that Houston was getting a 2nd team. Always quite enjoyed visiting Houston as well. Just weird, I don't hold any resentment towards any Houston teams outside of the Rockets maybe. Always kind of liked the Texans and I was a big fan of Biggio as a kid so I pulled for the Astros as my secondary team. It wasn't until here lately when the Stros started finding success again that I've felt any kind of rivalry there either. 

Hate the Spurs though.

Tyrone Swoopes signs with Seattle.
