have done well in recent years stacking their team silly with DEs that get after the QB. Just bc we went out and got antonio smith doesnt mean we can’t continue to improve our pass rush. that’s why I voted for robert ayers

and if Stafford falls past the Lions, it can’t hurt our chances.

I voted Clay3. If we didn’t have injury issues at OLB I would want us to take MJ or Knowshon. But we do, so lets solidify an important part of our defense and give Bush some more assets with which to assert his world domination.

Peria Jerry. Other than age, I have read nothing but good things about his play. Seems like a solid choice and would definitely make the d line better. I especially like the high motor.

I’d be happy with something along the lines of:
15 for Det..s 2nd and 3rd
15 for 2 Giants 2nd’s
15 for Tampas 1st (19) and 2010 2nd Rd selection (I think they are going to bomb this year)

It wouldn’t be sexy but I’d love to move down into position to get Wood/Unger/Mack at value. I want to win now…but I have most admired Smithiaks dicipline for steady solid growth…I want a long-lasting competitive team and think (if Gibbs wants…we should get a versitile stud on the line while we’ve got a chance for our draftees to benefit from his coaching.) I also want the extra push in the red zone on those 4th & 1 situations (for our 17th ranked offense). I’d also like to see a Michael Johnson or Percy Harvin (fresh off the herb) drop to us in the second and force us to make some tough decisions regarding playmakers. While I want to address obvious holes in our defense…I’m a little concerned about handing over the entire draft to a Defensive staff that is still learning what its current tools are and hasn’t proven itself in its ability to develop talent like the Offense has. I am really hoping for multiple picks down to maximize our 2nd-4th round talent!

I found his name looking at a positional draft chart…he’s WAY down the prospect list…but on paper…he stands way out in terms of measureables.

Northwestern State WR Dudley Guice
6-foot-3 wt. 210 pounds. 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds, three-cone drill was 6.61 seconds and his short shuttle was 4.01 seconds and a 39" vertical and a 10’05" broad jump. I googled him and saw a little clip, but he only played in 3 games last year. Anyone who thinks these kind of things are intersting, let me know what you think…I wonder if he has legit upside or if he’s hopeless as a 7th or undrafted.

Someone that shouldn’t slip down to us does (i.e., Michael Jenkins).

With Malcolm Jenkins gone, I’d trade—up or down.
Up if Raji drops in the 7 plus range and costs a first plus third or less. However, I don’t think Raji will fall, so I voted for trade down.
I think choosing specific teams is a bit of an exercise in throwing darts in a dark room because we have no idea what they are actually thinking, just what the media and fans want them to think, but it appears value wise something could be conceivable to drop real late into the first and add a second. So, I’d want something not to just swap picks but add a pick in the second range (Three Second Rounders Please Post).

At this point all those picks seem fairly interchangeable, so I’d go for Laurinaitis, one of the centers, or Sean Smith first and then look at the same (Laurinaitis gone) maybe adding Brace, Sintim, and some other safeties with the two second rounders.

I’m trading up aggressively. I think we could get a deal done to trade up by trading our 1st rounder and possibly one our 4th rounders, if not a 4th a 3rd for sure. Getting that extra pick from Minnesota afforded us w/ some flexibility and I’ll be pissed if the Texans don’t use it to get a superior athlete and rush end of this year’s draft IF he’s available. Matthews is not the complete deal, he is not a “for sure” guy, nor does his limited playing time suggest it. Orakpo, however, seems like he is. This is working under the assumption that he’s available til that position. Clint Sintim in round #2 to play SLB would mean we nabbed Orakpo and Sintim in rds #1 and #2, if we stayed pat we’d probably do something like Matthews and Chung….eeeeehhhh option #1 is better.

What the Texans should do is if Mark Sanchez is still on the board (and if the Lions don’t draft Stafford), package our 15th overall pick along with a 3rd or 4th rounder for their 2nd round selection this year and their first round selection next year. After doing this, we should draft Eric Berry from Tennessee and Taylor Mays from USC next year. With the second rounder, we can do a number of things, such as go D-Line with Tyson Jackson (if he falls), Evander Hood, or Fili Moala or Linebacker with James Laurinaitis.

Then it would have been a landslide. I was torn between the 2, but I chose taking Matthews as I think he is going to evolve into a special player. Evolve is probably not the word I want, because I think the evolution will take place in his rookie campaign. Looking at video and seeing his 10 yard split, I love his closing ability. We don’t have anyone who can close like that and also has the power to finish. I truly believe that he will be equally adept at blitzing and covering.

I like Orakpoe. He was a beast against the best in school. Has the talent to be de/lb. No doubt with doubles going to MARIO he will be disruptive helping the linebackers & secondary.

i like maclin
