he is a jaguar now. please tell me we r gonna look for undrafted free agent rb. arian foster still there. big guy. we only need him for 10 carries a game. i pray kubiaks faith is not in chris brown.

I can’t believe the Jags got Jennings. That pisses me off so much. They were smart enough to realize they needed a compliment to MJD and they got a great one in Jennings. God damnit.

all three teams in our division went out and got quality running backs that we have to smack down. mario versus monroe, whatcha think?

a B+….

I understand the TE picks so im fine with that….thought matthews instead of cushing so took a lil off that…no trades upsetted me…and then of course no jennings and jennings going to JAX…so gave it a B+….LOVE THE CASEY AND BARWIN PICKS!!!

Now i hope we go out and sign:
QB – Harell or Daniels
RB – Ian Johnson or Foster
WR – COSBY!

Harrell because only God knows about are starting qb. i like foster, or morlon lucky. cosby i feel bad for. he had bill cosby with him and his name didnt get called. he would be a good back up in houston.

i cant find film on brice mccain. i found an interview where he said he ran a 4.19 forty. i like jacoby jones but he fumbles too much. is brice his replacement?

big guy

wisconsin

i like arian foster. bout 215, quick, strong. add 10 more pounds and he could be a monster.

But in our culture of immediate gratification it’s impossible not to do.

I don’t know too much about Cushing, which means I don’t really have a reaction one way or another about him being picked, other than the fact that he looked like a total douche on the cover of SI this week. I do know that people around these parts whose opinions I respect such as MDC, Riott and TransientTexan are not happy with the pick, which means something. I also know that Smithiak have generally drafted very well, and I put a lot of credence in their evaluation skills.

I admit I’d never heard of Barwin prior to our picking him, and I must admit I was hot to draft E Brown or Michael Johnson, but it the more I know about Barwin the more I like him.

As for the rest of the guys, I’m glad we took an O-lineman in the third and pleased that we solidified our defensive backfield. I must confess to being a bit surprised we didn’t take a back, however.

All in all, the only difference between this year’s draft and last year’s — imo — is that most of us hate the guy we picked first this year. Other than that it looks like the usual smart Smithiak draft.

Which means that HairHead will give it somewhere between a B and C. Of course, he goes that for every team every year.

someone said they heard something about boldin visiting houston….anything got anything frmo that?

i wish i was at that interview when he said if a rb was there he would of got him. i would like to smack him, just once or twice. if the any of the teams in our division beat us with the help of thier new rb’s im gonna cry. i think they are gonna give chris brown a chance to prove himself.

After thinking about all the picks, I think the Texans had a very solid overall draft. There weren’t really any sexy picks but the front office picked up a number of players who fit well, address areas of need, and bring a lot of versatility to the team. You can never know immediately how well a draft turned out, but my immediate grade would be a B- with the big problem obviously being the lack of a big RB.

Biggest surprise for me was the lack of a RB selected. As previously stated, I too am a bit miffed that we passed on Rashad Jennings in the 7th round. I can only hope we have a plan there, because Chris Brown cannot be relied upon. He may play this season, but it is much too risky to count on him being RB2. I fully understand that the blockers are much more important to the running game than the backs, and picking up a large body in Antoine Caldwell in the 3rd round was an excellent move. That being said, our history of success with 4th thru 7th round D-Backs is still waiting to be written. We have selected many, but have yet to find a player, unless Dominique Barber pans out. Petey and CC were 6th rounders, and while both played for a while, they did not have what I would call success. Other picks have been Glenn Earl, Brandon Harrison & Vontez Duff. I guess my point is that if Jennings turns out to be a player for the Jags and Troy Nolan and Brice McCain turn out like all the others before them, we missed an opportunity for a young RB2.

I don’t like the Cush pick. I think his chance of tragic failure is greater than so many other players we could have had at 15. I hope I am dead wrong about him.

I like the Connor Barwin pick a lot. I am equally surprised that the physical freak Michael Johnson fell all the way to #70.

Even after picking Hill, Casey was just too good to pass up. As Chris has ably stated, He will replace multiple players and has so much versatility that he will be an asset for years.

I give Smithiak a B for now, but that grade could move either up or down depending on the production of Mr Cushing. Now go sign a couple of RB’s.

is the idea that all tight ends have evolved into one super tight end with a superior genetic code. That superior TE has arrived.

I didn’t like the pick when I first saw it yesterday but, I like his attitude about the amount of work he needs to put in. If that is more than just talk he could be good. On the other hand I am just not a fan of the SC group in general so we will see.

The Flip side of that is I think Casey was the still of the draft, he is a hoss! I think they may want him doing a little RB, or LB work he is the perfect build for a OLB.

i saw on another site that we might of got arian foster as a undrafted free agent or that its in the works. this guy looks good on video, i think.

did he sign anywhere
