BOOOOOOOO!!!
A statement to the players of the Jazz and Mavericks: Please stop flopping all over the court.
Pollard will clue him in - not to worry
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
hes the most nfl ready CB in this draft
kiper has him ranked 2nd behind Haden
hes not flashy but he can do it all
play zone changes directions effortlessly with very fluid hips.. plays man reads the QBs eyes which leads to making plays which the texans have said they will get an impact player in the first round and he started i think 4 yrs at Alabama
hes under the radat but the best possible fit, hes a safe sure pick thats not flashy but VERY productive like an OL, jus takes care of business
Didn't start 4 years
But he did start something like 12 of 13 games as a freshman, and 38 in a row or something like that, so he brings some durability to the table too. I’m trying really hard to hate this pick because they always pan out better when I do, but I’m having a hard time – this guy is going to be solid.

I don't really understand why you'd be for Wilson and not be okay with Jackson
The Texans have great evaluators, and they play the same position.
I mean I can understand the preference, but worse than Mathews?

I'm not thrilled, given our choices, but I'm perfectly fine with it.
As I would have been if you had told me yesterday that we’d take Jackson. It was someone I was fully prepared for us to get.
Yep
I basically predicted this in our 2nd round pick in the SBN mock.

I saw him projected as a top-40 talent.
I don’t know why everyone seems so shocked. I guess taking someone @ 20 when they are “top-40” can be upsetting, but it’s far enough away from the top pick that you can varying opinions on players.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the Texans wanted to trade down, but couldn’t get enough compensation to alleviate their fears that they would miss out on Jackson.
What a waste.
I hate this pick. I REALLY hate this pick.
here’s hoping to me being completely wrong.

My thoughts exactly.
If I remember right, Houston doesn’t ask for a lot of man to man coverage do they? The analysis I read says this guy goes sideline to sideline well, which is what Houston needs, not a man to man cover.
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
remember that the "experts"
are only right like 18% of the time. so the fact that he went somewhere different than expected means nothing. mocks don’t match teams boards. the end.

1 of top 2-3 CBs remaining on everyone’s board….obviously top on Smithiak’s board

Just a bit confused why they’d go him over McCourty, Wilson, or Williams.
But you know what? In Smithiak I Trust.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
good pick.
i was thinking wilson as well, but if smithiak has taught us anything, it’s that they are all about due diligence.

How about we trade a second/third(or fourth) round pick so we can get Dwill
A statement to the players of the Jazz and Mavericks: Please stop flopping all over the court.
Well
it’s been a common theme in Smithiak land to pick a player at a position of need, just grabbing one of the better ones as opposed to the best one (remmeber all the LB talk last year, Cushing wasn’t seen as the best rookie LB)
They’ve had a decent return on that idea, so let’s see how it goes.
Cushing was supposed to go at #15
Jackson would have fallen to round 2

by TexasHoosier on Apr 22, 2010 8:49 PM CDT up reply actions
i know!!
y do people feel he would’ve fallen?? apparently the jets were interested in jackson over both mccourty and wilson. Bellicheck picked McCourty over WIlson, i think it’s obvious Wilson wasn’t as highly ranked as we thoght he was, at least not in the minds of scouts and teams who actually scheme for these players to have a position on the field. Jackson was a STUD pickup by the Texans, i’ve been in love w/ him since the beginning of the college season.
You're making it out as if he was going to be there at 50.
I’ve seen him go in 30-40% of the mocks in the first round.
See: Campbell Draft Value Theory.
The reason Cushing was supposed to go at 15 was because that's where we picked.
If we hadn’t taken him, he probably falls to Green Bay (at 23?).

Nope...NEVER
That honor belonged completely to Aaron Curry.
Cushing was never graded above Curry pre-draft.

You're right
I was thinking about the LB’s that had a shot at making it to us.

Tebow would go to Denver?? You don’t know how these scouts/GM’s think. He could have been off the board right after we passed on him (Jackson).

Movethesticks.com just owned that pick and so did Nolan Nawrocki
yeah well
who is to say they didn’t try to trade down and couldn’t get a deal, so they went ahead and picked the guy they wanted? nothing wrong with that
they turned in the pick real quickly
if they were trying to trade down it prolly would have taken longer

I think a possible idea that COULD happen is:
We trade our second and third(or fourth) to get Dan Williams. I said this before but i think it may happen. Because we now do not need a CB in rounds 2 or 3.

Tweet Reaction - We did good?
RT @JeromeSolomon: Nothing wrong with Kareem Jackson pick for Texans. A scout told me he should be most consistent CB in draft.
Texans go Kareem Jackson. Talk about a perfect fit for their defense. Scheme @ Alabama uses the same terminology as Houston’s D.#NFLDraft
"Lord, beer me strength."
The latter was from Michael Smith
and he did mock Jackson to us 3 weeks ago.
"Lord, beer me strength."
So they use the same terminology?
Awesome, at least he won’t be part of the 75% of Houston’s population that needs to learn a 2nd language.
Just your average, run of the mill hardcore casual Texans fan.
I Trust Smithiak
McCourty, Wilson, and Jackson are all said to be really close talent wise.. and I really didn’t trust Wilson too much. I think Jackson can definitely do well, and I’m somewhere between happy and neutral with this pick.. not that I don’t like him, it’s just that we didn’t have too many choices..
Bulaga looks like a Packer.

As for the reach comments
given how unpredictable this draft has gone…..you’d better take your guy when you get the chance.
By all accounts…this was Houston’s guy.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I think you all get too invested in this.
Why get all upset? For what? To say that you knew better than Smithiak in the off chance this blows up in their faces? How’d that work out for you with Mario Williams and Brian Cushing?
You have to live with it now anyway; look on the bright side.

Kareems a great pick, hes not flashy and ‘sexy’ like the other guys but last time i checked he was a starter on the most punishing defense in College and a starter on a champion

The thing about Alabama players...
It’s worked 2 times for us: Caldwell, Ryans…
I’m feeling a lot better about this pick.

Caldwell is a little early to call a "hit"
Looks like he’s going to be playing on opening day, though.
He didn't embarrass himself on the OL last season...
so he’s more hit than say…..Chris Myers.
"Lord, beer me strength."
All I can say is
Wilson – WAC
Mccourty – Big East
Jackson – SEC
He will be our CB1 as a rookie
by leacheatsbabies on Apr 22, 2010 8:53 PM CDT reply actions
NFL.com's CB ratings
Haden – 8.6
Wilson – 8.4
Jackson – 8.3
McCourty – 8.0
I think Jackson was above Wilson the entire time on our board cause of the scheme he ran at Bama. He is the same size as Wilson, is faster than Wilson, and comes from the SEC.

what "scheme"?
a base 4-3? mostly man coverage except for zone against passing teams? Wilson and Mccourty played in the same type of systems.
I’m not saying playin in the SEC is the reason we took him but Jackson was more competitive against much better competition and thats something that was highly considered.

Defensive scheme. Everyone uses one. Even us.
SEC better talent? Eh. WAC plays against spread offenses…..pass heavy…..meaning tons of CB tape to watch.

Scheme makes the transition easier
seeing as you know how they will perform in your defense.

You can teach scheme
But if the Texans rated Wilson and Jackson the same, Jackson knowing the scheme pushes him above because you then dont have to teach and it saves time while making Jackson’s transition easier.

Reposted from other thread
Scouts Inc. on Kareem Jackson:
Scouts Inc. Pros: Excellent at anticipating routes and can keep eyes on quarterback without losing track of receiver. Mid-points high-low routes in zone coverage. Appears comfortable lining up close to the line of scrimmage. Squeezes receivers to the sideline. Aggressive and not afraid to jump up. Plays with a swagger. Fluid hips and can change directions quickly. Quick feet and can stick with receivers coming out of breaks, Plays under control, keeps feet under him and doesn’t waste any motion.
Scouts Inc. Cons: Fails to wrap up but gets ball carrier to ground more times than not. Can get caught trying to make a play on the ball when should wrap receiver up for short gain but rarely. Takes too long to shed blocks.

I'd love mount cody
but he doesn’t fit what Bill Kollar has demonstrated that he wants in a DL.
I said it briefly in some other thread, but I think the only way we ever take a true NT is if that NT is able to penetrate and get after the quarterback first, and happens to have amazing assmass as a secondary quality, not a primary quality.
Unfortunately for those of us who want a true NT, that kind of player is hard to find, so in order to get a player like that, we will likely have to pick high in the first round (or have DWill fall to us in the second round.)

LOOOOOOOOOOOVE this pick.
People are overanalyzing this, the reality is Kareem Jackson is quite possibly the biggest darkhorse of this draft. I’ve said this ALL along. I think he’s the best corner of this draft, he’s a high character guy, has a nack for intercepting the ball, plays physical, fast, well-coached, seen the best competition on a day-day basis. big, long arms. I think he is VERY underrated. I’m so happy the Texans didn’t get impatient and scared when the Chargers traded to get Matthews, they stayed solid, and picked up my bhoi Kareem. LOOOVE this pick. Texans draft history is excellent in the Smithiak regime, i don’t understand why people are taking Kiper and online mock drafts to guage a player’s value/skill. Jackson is BEAUTIFUL. lol, tyson alu alu…. McCoy > Tebow.

dan williams, i think we value lamarr houston better b/c he can rush the passer. We already have a decent run defense, so some “stuffer” isn’t necessary especially since Okoye is holdin down the front as far as the run is concerned. DWill isn’t an interior defensive lineman, i don’t understand why people “want him” so bad. he doesn’t fit our system, so why draft him? LMAO loving clausen not getting picked…
Pass on Houston.
Luckily….RB almost has to be the pick in round 2. Let’s go Ben Tate!

because a guy like williams requires double teams
At least in theory a hog NT frees up Okoye/3 technique to penetrate and cause havoc. Okoye’s improved against the run’ but he’s not great against the run….good against the run is just the default quote for a d-lineman who don’t have a lot of sacks. See Anthony Weaver.

disagree
i think he’s the BEST corner in the draft. although ur point is duly noted, the smithiak regime knows alot more about how they want tihs team to play football and what players fit their system. that’s why it ticks me off when people get ticked at the Texans not picking “highly ranked players.” that’s just dumb, Jackson is a long, lanky, well-coached corner who isn’t afraid to play the run game: fits our system. Wilson is scared to tackle. Dwyer is not a Texan type RB. Tate and Hardesty fit, and one of them will be Texans. Man, i luv the Kareem pick….STEEAAAL of the draft, no joke.
Didn't LZ say that Hardesty was going to fall to the 5th?
He’s not infallible or anything, but if Hardesty has injury issues that are going to push him down, I’d rather draft someone else.

ditto
Their past 2 drafts include the likes of players like: Suh, Stafford, Best, Pettigrew, and Delmas. Lions are building a winner in Detroit, no doubt.
I think Jackson isn’t a bad pick. he fits right in with what Bush is doing with the defense making it more physical. people who go after tackles. Kyle Wilson is a great coverage guy and would of been great but it didnt happen. now lets hope for a good DT in the Second and RB in the third.
Espn says
What he brings: We believe Jackson may be the best pure cover corner in this year’s draft. Jackson has tremendous feet, balance, anticipation and route-recognition skills when out on an island. He has an advantage in that he should be able to make a smooth transition to the NFL level coming out of a Nick Saban-coached defense.
How he fits: The loss of Dunta Robinson to Atlanta is a big blow and the Texans desperately needed a shutdown corner, so this pick is no surprise. Glover Quinn stepped up solidly as a rookie last season and Jacques Reeves will continue to play, but Jackson could very well provide the Texans with ability to take away half the field.
With that said I like the pick
If at first you don't succeed, draft, draft again
Loss of Dunta
a big blow? What games did these guys watch last year?
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid

maybe they would draft Mays at FS to just destroy whoever goes for the ball
It’s not like we always need him to go for the ball. If he can bust a few WRs’ ribs, I can deal with that. Besides that opens the opportunity for Pollard to grab some deflection INTs

Draft overview:
Best Draft thus far: Seattle- They drafted a good heir to Walter Jones and they put a great play maker in Earl Thomas in that defense.
Worst Draft thus far: Denver Broncos. Thomas is a good WR, but Dez does not have that much baggage as people say he does. And the Tebow pick was hysterical. One of the worst I’ve seen this decade.
A statement to the players of the Jazz and Mavericks: Please stop flopping all over the court.
by Rockets 4 Life on Apr 22, 2010 10:08 PM CDT reply actions
I think
people are underestimating Tebow. He’s going to be a lot better than people may imagine.
Better?
Maybe, but to give up 3 picks in this year’s draft for him? That’s a bit much.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I think McDaniels couldn't bring himself to back down once he started bidding against the Bills.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
ya,
but they have tons of picks to move up and down, and quite possibly they were positioning themselves to get him in the 1st place. I think they must’ve gotten scared that they were behind NE. McDaniels comes from that lineage so maybe he had a sixth sense that bellicheck was drafting him. I LOVE when teams take a shot on a guy that they love. People can hate on tebow all they want, but Denver’s got some balls to say, “F**K Brandon Marshall, we’re gonna get Demar. Thomas cuz i’m building my team. And Brady Quinn and Kyle Orton need to fight for their spots against Tebow.” i love it. He went 8-8 last year w/ a defense ranked dead last a year before, and after trading their franchise qb for some scrub Chicago was happy to get rid of. Now, he drafts Tebow to spit in Bellicheck’s face and have everyone in the nation talk about him drafting Tebow?? LMAO! AWWWEESOOMMEEE. i love it.
mcadaniels
is NOT an idiot. He’s young, cocky, and brilliant: in the mold of Bellicheck. They’re winning that division next year, i promise you they are.
I think he'll get fired before he wins a division.
That team looks a lot worse.
Thomas was a horrible pick…Tebow may be a good pick in 2-3 years if he has time to learn.
"Lord, beer me strength."
i think
he has a longer leash than we think. He’s a prodigy. People are forgetting that he is the manufacturer of the NFL’s most prolific offense in history. He needs time to build HIS team, w/ HIS QB, and HIS offensive talent. I don’t understand why people are hating on this man when in ONE year, he scraps the “franchise QB” and goes from the worst defense: dead last 2 yrs ago, and turns them around to an 8-8 record? They finished 1 game behind us. The only difference b/w this team and last year’s is Thomas over Marshall. Marshall was out regardless. McDaniels has 4-5 years, he will compete and win this division next year. The man is brilliant and bold. Many people thought Rex Ryan was an idiot to take Sanchez (not me, i wish we got him to be honest). Sometimes, bad franchises need to be willing to make bold moves to ellicit change. If I was a Denver fan, I am STOKED to see this product next year…there’s value in that.
The defense was good
because of coordinator Mike Nolan who is now in Miami. Everyone took them lightly, they surprised…got some lucky bounces…..and overperformed, imo.
He may have a longer leash, but I think that team goes 5-11. Playing the AFC South will not be kind to Denver’s record. Right now, I would put them last in the AFC West. I just don’t see any plan whatsoever….except chase all the talent out of Denver and reach for some mega-projects – the QB who needs to learn how to throw and the WR who needs to learn how to do a lot (According to draft analysis).
You wish we got Sanchez when we had Schaub? LOLWUT? Seriously?
"Lord, beer me strength."
well,
the sanchez pick was in the assumption that schaub wasn’t a completely healthy qb going into last season. last year was his 1st full 16 game season. I think asking for a qb last year was fair considering what little we knew about schaub’s durability (and mobility). Obviously, now, we’re set for some time w/ Schaub. “super projects.” Demar. Thomas was expected to go in the 1st round, Denver needs a WR. They clearly weren’t going to pick Dez, or else, they would’ve just signed a diva like Brandon Marshall who was well proven beforehand. This team is changing their identity, and I think (looking at this in a completely Denver fan and owner perspective), McDaniels should be given 4-5 years to do so. Sure, we can sit here and say, “on paper, this team doesn’t look good RIGHT NOW.” but we’re forgetting they have Eddie Royal, would McDaniels trade Marshall and draft a speed demon like Thomas if he wasn’t confident that Royal could handle the load as a primary receiver? No, he’s far smarter than that, as much as we might want to disagree, he is. Is Tebow a project? OF COURSE. that’s why he has 2 veteran qb’s ahead of him: Orton has proven he’s a capable starter, and Brady is a solid backup option w/ limited upside as well. Tebow was drafted to be the QB of the future. is it wrong to draft a project? why? vy was drafted #3, freeman was drafted #16 last year, and next year’s crop includes Locker and Keenum who are both long term projects respectively. Tebow is a Heisman winner, decorated collegiate athlete, athletically gifted, knows how to lead, win, and is willing and passionate to be coached…what’s so wrong w/ picking him in the 1st when there’s NO rush to play him immediately b/c u have 2 capable qb’s ahead of him? Ya, he’s a project and they planned the pick PERFECTLY via moves in the offseason. same w/ Thomas…he’s not going to be expected to be the #1 next year, cuz Royal and Stokley are already there. If I’m a Denver fan, I’m patiently waiting this one out FILLED w/ excitement.
It's not wrong to draft projects
It’s just…well, will he see out these projects? And as far as capable goes…Brady Quinn isn’t capable. He’s not much better than JaMarcus. You also say there’s no rush….but we’ve seen the script before: 1st round QB + Struggling team = Cries for the rookie. I dunno, I don’t see patience and NFL going hand in hand…but, it’ll be interesting to see what happens….
I have a bunch of Bronco fans….their reactions vary from wanting Shanny back, to confusion of the severe kind, to waiting and seeing what’ll happen.
I dunno, it’ll be interesting….but I’ll take the “W” we’ll be given.
"Lord, beer me strength."
lol "W"
man, i understand ur reservation, but I think the Broncos were well aware what they were getting and the investment they were making when they signed on w/ McDaniels. He got rid of Cutler for a REASON, Marshall too. He’s coming in to clear house of all troublemakers, divas, and guys who he feels do not fit his system. People are mistaken if they feel this team is devoid of talent, they aren’t. Quinn is an NFL qb w/ experience. Maybe I overrated him by saying he’s “capable,” but surely, you can fill the Tebow void w/ Orton and Quinn for at least 2 years as w/ Rodgers and Kolb. Noone in Denver is expecting Tebow to be game ready by this year, probably not even next year, but that’s fine considering they have options at the QB position. Is it a risk? OF COURSE. but is there rationale, reasoning, and a plan set in place? imo, yes.
The way McDaniels is picking and the way Denver is letting him go at it (and considering he was a huge improvement last year), tells me, they’re loving the publicity, notariety, and bold splashes McDaniels is willing to make to establish the identity of HIS club w/ HIS roster. Of course Denver fans rxns are mixed from confused, cluless, angry, to ecstatic, the texans were 9-7 last year, lost their franchise corner, drafted one in the 1st round, and we have the EXACT same response. People gonna talk and hate, but I just LOVE when teams make these giant statements in the draft, and I’m liking McDaniels. He’s got the makings of a mastermind coach, I think people are letting "rankings, and ‘expert opinions’ " blur them from his resume, lineage, and boldness. If given the chance, I’m thinking he knows EXACTLY what it takes to bring Denver to prominence.
I think he could be successful in a "Vince Young" sort of way.
Even if there are cries for the rookie… He’s got a defense that aught to still be decent at the very least, an excellent offensive line, and Knowshon Moreno.
He won’t have to do a whole lot. I think it’s a shit pick, but in all honesty I’d probably rather have Tebow than Clausen. He’s going to work his ass off every single day, that’s for sure.
I agree on that
I would take Tebow over any other QB in this draft except Bradford…
Does it mean I love Tebow? Or think that this class of QBs are weak? That’s another discussion all its own.
"Lord, beer me strength."
that's
what people said last year when cutler was gone.

Not true.
I don’t know why everyone is completely writing off slaton. He had injury problems last year(why he coughed up fumbles), and our interior o-line was the worst in the league last year. I love Okoye, but he has had 3 years and he has not had a good one(rookie year was fairly good, but not great), and slaton had an amazing one in his rookie year. When healthy, Slaton is a damn good running back(assuming we dont start kasey studdard, chris myers, or chris white next year). I know Brian Price’s stock has fallen, but if there is no clear pick there, then i would not mind Price. He obviously has the talent and can be a pretty good pass rusher up the middle, he just needs to get his weight issues under control.

People arent writing off Slaton
We just have no idea what he will be after the injury. A neck/nerve injury as bad as his was is rare and we have no basis to set our expectations by. We dont know when he will even be fully healthy.
Okoye is still only 22 and since he got here we have switched D’s on him. He is a brilliant guy but he is still developing as a player. Give the guy one more year since he is NOW the age of most of the draftees.

by TexasHoosier on Apr 22, 2010 10:39 PM CDT up reply actions
agreed
i don’t know why everyone is bailing out on Okoye? He’s very young, and Kubiak was well aware that when drafting him he would be a late developer. He’s super young, and ultra brilliant. The guy works his ass off, he has the makings to be great, and should be given the chance to do so.
Drafting a pass-rushing DT doesn't spell the end for Okoye.
Let’s assume that Shaun Cody is mediocre against the run and below-average at rushing the passer. If they were to find a DT who was also mediocre against the run (or who could at least develop into that), and excellent at rushing the QB up the middle… Well, you could plug him in next to Okoye to theoretically improve the defense.
Doesn’t have to be a NT (and as we’ve seen, in the Texans/Kollar’s scheme, it’s probably not going to be).
I'm not writing off Slaton
But we need another pack to pair with him. Personally I think that guy might be Foster, but look at what the Ravens have done with 3 backs. Smithiak is obviously ok with their line right now wiht Briesel coming back and the signing of smith. Hopefully we get a DT in the 3rd and go for O-line and safety depth in the rest of the draft.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
Ignore my comment.
I want Ben Tate. Slaton can start out the season and if he is not good, we will put in Tate and move Slaton to 3rd down(he can be one of the best, if not the best 3rd down back in the league).

We could have gotten an extra draft pick if we traded down a little bit. Jackson was high on our board and not higher than mccourty or wilson on other boards. hes not a reach at 20, but we could have traded down a pick or two(or three) and get an extra 4th, 5th round pick.

They are kind of similar.
But Okoye as of right now, is only a run stopper. He is good at it too. He did not rack up TFL’s but he consistently pushed his man back or got penetration. Now Houston is similar, but i think he has a quicker first step, and has a relentless pass rush.

PFW's Nawrocki on KJax...
20 (20) Houston: CB Kareem Jackson, Alabama
The Texans needed a big, physical cornerback to replace the departed Dunta Robinson, and Jackson fits the bill. He will enter training camp with the expectation to start and should not have any problems after playing every coverage for Nick Saban at Alabama. He is quick to support the run, plays smart and very seldom gets beat, with deceptive functional playing speed given his smooth stride.
Frank Bush

National Fooball Post on our pick...
The Texans needed to find a cornerback to replace Dunta Robinson and Jackson fills the void. However, I don’t know how you can go with Jackson over a guy like Kyle Wilson at this stage. He is a technically sound player who can tackle and find the football down the field. But isn’t the big time man-to-man corner that Wilson is.
Maybe they don't realize how much buttery-soft zone we play.

Alabama
produces pro-ready players. I understand the rationale behind the pick. Texans are looking to find STARTERS in the 1st, not developmental projects, not “upside” guys, but guys who have been coached and styled to play NFL level football. Cushing, Duane, and Kareem are testaments to this strategy. Jacoby and Slaton were 3rd rounders: guys w/ sick speed and measurables that can excite a fanbase. I LOOOOVE how the Texans draft, I’m on board 100%.
