Well
I’m not sure I would like a pick that Pancakes agrees with
by theaxeeffect4311 on Apr 23, 2010 8:12 PM CDT up reply actions
O-line help
should be one of these picks who agrees?
If at first you don't succeed, draft, draft again
Ummmm....me
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
This is what I have now
1. Brandon Ghee – (12%) – CB – Wake Forest Move up/down Remove
2. J.D. Walton – (18%) – C – Baylor Move up/down Remove
3. Dominique Franks – (12%) – CB – Oklahoma Move up/down Remove
4. Akwasi Owusu-Ansah – (12%) – CB – Indiana (PA) Move up/down Remove
5. Cam Thomas – (29%) – DT – North Carolina Move up/down Remove
6. Navorro Bowman – (12%) – OLB – Penn State Move up/down Remove
7. Geno Atkins – (12%) – DT – Georgia Move up/down Remove
8. Eric Norwood – (12%) – OLB – South Carolina Move up/down Remove
9. Arthur Jones – (12%) – DT – Syracuse Move up/down Remove
10. Bruce Campbell – (12%) – OT – Maryland Move up/down Remove
11. Everson Griffen – (6%) – DE – Southern California Move up/down Remove
12. Mitch Petrus – (12%) – OG – Arkansas Move up/down Remove
13. Mike Johnson – (12%) – OG – Alabama Move up/down Remove
14. Jonathan Dwyer – (18%) – RB – Georgia Tech
(Obviously Dwyer isn’t going to be picked but in my mock on texanphils I don’t have an RB yet)

is my bet

so we will get in in 25 minutes

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

I saw that too. He’s actually like 290

215? No, can't be...must be 315

“Mitchell possesses a short, thick frame, but displays a good first step off the snap and gets into opposing linemen quickly. He plays with a natural pad level and does a nice job gaining leverage on contact and creating a decent initial surge. He exhibits a strong bull-rush and can initially overwhelm linemen one-on-one with the suddenness and body control to slip blocks vs. the pass game. But the harder he works his way into the backfield, the higher his pad level rises. Mitchell can easily be sealed/pushed away from the ball. He isn’t stout vs. the run game and lacks the ideal power in his lower half to sit into his stance and provide much of an anchor. He doesn’t use his hands well when protecting his legs inside and needs to win in the run game with his first step. Mitchell has the initial burst to get across the frame of opposing linemen but lacks the type of balance to fend off and beat blocks once someone gets into his frame. I like his initial burst and ability to rush the passer with power and suddenness, but he needs to add more power to his lower half if he ever hopes to become a starter. As of now, he looks like a rotation DT at the next level.”
Info on Mitchell
6’1’’, 294 pounds
Projected: 5-6
Had 12.5 tackles for a loss and 6.5 sacks last season

He went to North Shore HS

Just reported he ran a
4.7 40 ? I know that means dick for DT’s, but wow..
so we just drafted another Okoye basically
Be judgmental about the actions of the past, be hopeful about the actions of the future. -The Homers Creed
Ran a 4.75 at the Combine and put up 25 reps on the bench
Extremely quick 1st step and can clog running lanes while getting pressure up the field.
I would have preferred Atkins or Thomas, but Mitchell sounds good

How many
guys from Texas (the State) drafted so far? As usual (I believe), it looks like our state is leading in guys drafted.
Kiper and NFP
say the same thing: Situational DT…..pass rusher.
Let’s hope he has a motor.

playing for his hometown team should help his motor some

Hot damn.
Not a bad pick per se….it has been mocked…..but I dunno. I am not a fan of the small DTs.

That's cause he's awesome
He’s going to fit in great there. That offense could be sick

Shipley to Bengals
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
Shipley to Cincy?
OK, Ochocinco, Matt Jones, and Antonio Bryant. Does Cincy really need another WR?
Our football teams in Texas are like our people. The Texans are like the honest, hard-working, blue-collar men that earned what they had and built this state into the place it is. The Cowboys are like the politicians and tycoons that just act like buffoons and make everyone hate us. Essentially, Bob McNair=Stephen F. Austin, Jerry Jones=Sam Houston.
Since you only named one competent one there
I’d say yes

Rivers, could you see Mitchell being used as a DE?
I know he isn’t tall, but 4.7 is DE speed.
He's got the measureables for it
I don’t think we’ll need a 4th rush DE behind Williams, Barwin, Smith. I guess you could argue some versatility helps.

Everyone's saying he's a one gap penetrator

"Lord, beer me strength."
LZ
According to LZ’s top 100 list Mitchell was #93. Wonder if we should have waited for our next pick, which is, well, 93.
Yeah, have to think he'd be there at the 2nd 3rd round pick with a 5th round grade.
I’m fine with taking a player they like a round or two higher this late in the draft, but have to think he’d be there at 93…
He and Jordan can still live together

I still dont think that Holmgreen would make a difference to that cursed franchise.
And that’s too bad because I actually like Holmgreen.
If Brandon Ghee is sitting at 93...
the Texans better draft him. TOO GOOD to be sitting at 93.

Im just using the draft tracker now. Tired of pointless analysis by BIG TIME ESPN analysts.
Schefter was doing great.

@ HoustonTexans
The Texans traded the 93rd (3rd round) pick to the Chiefs in exchange for a 4th (102nd) and 5th (144th)
In exchange for the third-round pick, 93rd overall, the Texans got from the Chiefs a fourth-round pick (102nd overall) and a fifth (144).
It means they expect one of their guys to be there....

I’ll still say It’ll be Johnson and Johnson in round 4.

102, 118, 136, 187 (Samuel L. Jackson FTW), 197 and 227.
