Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

So, How's Your 1st Round Mock Draft Looking?

"Hey Buddy...You think you can beat my first round Mock Draft?" Go For It!

With the 2010 NFL Draft kicking off tomorrow evening, most everyone is putting out their final Mock Drafts today. I finished mine up a couple of nights ago and would be interested in seeing what everyone else has on theirs.

There is a nifty click and drag 1st round Mock Draft creator on the worldwide leader's website that I used, and after you submit your picks, it compares it with Sportsnation's and Todd McShay's picks. Then it gives you a link to share your results with everyone.

In case you were wondering, I picked CB Kyle Wilson with the Texans' first round pick. I just can't see the team drafting RB Ryan Mathews with a corner of Wilson's quality still on the board. I have everyone's man-crush Earl Thomas going to the Niners at #17.  Unlike Pancakes, who has Houston taking Ryan Mathews with Earl still on the board...

I don't claim to know every team's needs, so I fully admit to completely guessing on some most of these picks. But you can see my full first round mock right here. I think I'll get about 13 right. But I wouldn't put money on it.

Feel free to post your 1st round Mock in the comments below. Or, if you'd rather just put your full draft picks for the Texans, do so.

One more day, people! Then we get to bitch about who we should have taken...

I'm sticking with my predictions/wants as I stated back in January

The Texans will make the playoffs despite their difficult schedule and they will draft as such, I hope…

Draft Game:
1st Round: ballhawking Safety
2nd Round: swift but large Offensive Guard
3rd Round: the best Defensive Tackle still available

I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?

by zala on Apr 21, 2010 11:52 PM CDT up reply actions  

One thing I know...

The Texans do NOT take Ryan Matthews in the first round or any round.

1) Look at last year around this time. The talk was all ‘Clay Matthews’ this and ‘Clay Matthews’ that. Then what did they do? Draft Brian Cushing. They go with BPA in the 1st round even with trying to fill a need. There will be at least one of the top tier guys that will somehow fall to the Texans. Someone nobody (but maybe McShay?) is predicting.
2) Matthews may actually be taken before the Texans selection at #20. If this happens, it is a win-win as far as I’m concerned.
3) I would not be surprised if they do go RB in the 1st round. It won’t be Matthews, though, and that doesn’t leave many others to look at. I think they have to either trade down or not go with RB until the 2nd round.

by Fuzion on Apr 21, 2010 11:12 AM CDT reply actions  

Agree

The year before, Duane Brown came out of nowhere after we traded down a couple of times. I have the same expectations this year. In fact, I have a bet with Kerns and LanceZ for beers and nachos that, if Mathews is there at 20, we don’t take him. No way he’s our pick.

Speaking of Youtube vids

I really like Robert Johnson on video. And, I do remember watching him last season. If I remember a player like that, I think that says something. I’m not good with names or faces. So, I’m bringing him up here in the draft thread because, no matter where the Texans take him, I don’t consider it to be a reach, unless it can be proved that no one else wanted him and based on his visits, I think he is wanted. Did I say they would take him?

Mock

I don’t see the 9ers taking both Haden and Earl with their 13 and 17 picks. Just seems unlikely to me. I feel that they will address the O side of the ball with one of those picks. So hopefully that means Earl has a shot of falling to us….

It's not completely unlikely...

if there’s no Spiller, I can see them waiting to get offense in round 2. The need on the OL…is only at RT (assuming they do sign Pitts…which they’re the favorites in that race) which they can pick up in round 2.

No way Thomas falls to those with burnt orange glasses.

I think thats A good draft and could be accurate, except I believe with all the hype on Roosevelt he will be grabbed at the end of the 5th early 6th round. Kyle Wilson will be gone by the time you pick but Jackson could be A good pick up( A little early), but solid player.Nate is great in the 2nd and Houston is an underrated DT who is flying under the radar.Arenas would be good if hes available, I believe he will go earlier, but you can always hope. Webb in the 6th Rd will ba A practice squad guy for A year before he gets up to NFL speed, but I like his intangibles. Overall BigHD has it down good research on your behalf.

Just a thought...

Tate or Gerhart would be a solid RB pick-up in the 2nd round or 3rd rounds. I still think we should package something to move up from the 4th into the 3rd to get an extra selection that round. We could have a solid secondary player, OL, DL, and RB the way the depth is in the 2nd-4th rounds. I also wouldn’t mind looking at Mulckeroy in the 5th just to cover our butts at LB since Cushing & Ryans could get banged up a bit this year with our schedule the way it is.

I agree with Myron Rolle leaving his team for thr Rhodes Scholar, and scouts are using that against him saying he abandoned his team or his heart is not in the game. Do people realize what an honor it is for a student to get the scholarship, more then that A football player. Screw U to all the scouts that believe football over academics. Myron Rolle is an extremellly intelligent player who sacrificed money over education, since he will drop in the draft, which will give him a smaller contract. I like my Safety to be the QB of the defense, or your MLB, but in this case Myron could be A great safety, or at least he was penciled in as one of the top Safeties before last year.

Parcells actually has a record of going LB in the first round

It wouldn’t surprise me if he went JPP or Derrick Morgan. He’s pretty good at evaluating that hybrid DE/OLB to find one that works.

OLB

is also a huge need for that team.

As is FS (released Wilson) and RB (aging Ricky, possibly suspended/aging/broken down Brown)

Pretty much have needs all over

they should be set up to take one of the top talents: Earl Thomas, JPP (seems like a Parcells guy), Dan Williams, or even Spiller

Who You Don't Want

I am sceptical about Bruce Campbell, sure he can run a fast 40, but when do you need your tackle to be 40 yards down field.I like to know about his upper body strength, foot work,and strong hands. I would not touch Tim Tebow he reminds me of former NFL QB’S from Nebreska.(like Eric Crouch, Turner Gil, and Tommie Frazier).But. I believe he will hold the cllip board for the Jacksonville Jaguars who need him to sell some seats or they could be the L.A. Jags.

that's what I don't get

Oddly, I like my tackles to be able to block.

A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

What if they drated Bruce Campbell to play DT???

He already fits the F position and I think he played DE in high school. Of course, I could be making that part up as we are a day away from the draft and who knows how many scouting reports I have read.

by theaxeeffect4311 on Apr 21, 2010 2:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

If he can play DT, that would be interesting

I wouldn’t draft him, but that idea is interesting

I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.

Just listened to Kyle Wilson

Another thing I like about him is he seems like an intelligent, well-rounded person. I think he will fit in famously with the Texans….

It is nice

I was expecting to not understand half of it. i.e. Chris Johnson.

If you get 13 right...

…it will be one of the best mock drafts ever. Good ones get about 7 right!

So my saying I'm going 100% gets no cred?

It gets as much cred as

all of the Houston sports teams minus the Dynamo.

I like the McClain pick to the Chiefs

but I can’t see Okung being the second OT taken. And I have to think that if Okung is available for the Chiefs, they go for him.

I can see all those picks happening. I just kind of hope they don’t (like Titans getting Haden).

by theaxeeffect4311 on Apr 21, 2010 6:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

That's where Mocking the Draft comes in handy...

Apparently, the Redskins like Trent Williams. Makes sense…Williams is athletic and they’re gonna go to ZBS.

The Chiefs don’t need an OT…but maybe an OG. They need FS, OLB, ILB, NT….and positional depth (plus their fans believe) suggests they go McClain.

Will I be right? Doubt it, but it at least shares views from all those fans.

by TexansDC on Apr 21, 2010 7:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

I hereby guarantee the Redskins take Trent Williams.

I don’t think Okung is their kind of lineman. If I’m wrong, I’ll… I dunno, make a $50 donation to the charity of choice of the first person to disagree with me and make a similar bet.

by socctty on Apr 21, 2010 7:31 PM CDT up reply actions  

McClain makes sense in the "KC went crazy @ #3 overall last year" sense

So does JPP. That guy could either be the next Mario Williams or a grease-fire. I really like all your picks – I think it does the best job of reflecting where the teams are looking. But I don’t see Buffalo taking Clausen…

by socctty on Apr 21, 2010 7:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

Argh misread

Still, don’t see JAX taking Clausen. I think Garrard gets a bad rap. He’s not going to end up in Canton but I think he’s a Top-12 QB.

by socctty on Apr 21, 2010 7:40 PM CDT up reply actions  

Garrard Is Top 12? Really?

Not to call you out, but who’s your top 12?

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

by Tim on Apr 21, 2010 8:04 PM CDT up reply actions  

I said that from the cuff, but...

Manning, Brady, Brees, Rapelisberger, Rodgers, Schaub, Romo, McNabb, Ryan, Cutler, Palmer, Flacco, Garrard.

OK, 13. He’s in that mix of young players who we probably haven’t seen enough of yet and older QB who had great potential but are a solid B on their best days now (Palmer). Surely, he could get blown away by the Ryan/Cutler/Flacco/Henne/Kolb group in the coming years.

Anyway, my point is he’s not a glaring hole in the Jags’ line-up. They’ve got a lot more problems to address before they start throwing David Garrard out.

by socctty on Apr 21, 2010 8:17 PM CDT up reply actions  

Bigger Problems Than Garrard

Definitely agreed on that. I’d probably think more of Garrard if not for his ridiculous contract. I thought it was a bad move then, and I still think it was a bad move, even though Garrard hasn’t been horrific.

I agree that Garrard isn't that bad

but that bandwagon’s picking up steam at BCC.

thanks - missed the ESPN draft pick contest before that

He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
