MM is a gamer
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
Dale Robertson of the Comicle just referenced
At the combine, Tate posted a so-called "speed score" — which adjusts a player’s 40-yard-dash time for his weight — that was superior (114.2) to those of higher picks Ryan Matthews (111.2), Jahvid Best (111.2) and C.J. Spiller (107.5).
Tate has more weightspeed than Spiller AND Mathews.

Earl Mitchell
I was just reading up on him. NFL.com still has him listed at 215 LBs which I know is wrong. Also saw they said he has potential as a lead blocker in goal line situations! Hmmmm….
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?

What do you all think about Myron Rolle?
Hard worker (friggin Rhodes Scholar), good person, 1-2 round rating last draft.
Would you like him here?
One of my favorite players in the draft
I will be very disappointed if the Texans don’t take him

I've asked this before but don't know if someone answered
Where was he projected if he entered the draft last year?
www.TheDreamShake.com Co-Founder and Writer
1st to 2nd
but I dunno if he’s a target due to him being a strong safety and the Texans needing a free safety.

And I like Pollard a lot, but just seems like nothing wrong with depth. In the late 4th pick or the 5th

Sharpton. From NFLdraftscout.com
The Falcons held a personal workout for Miami linebacker Darryl Sharpton, who is 5-foot-11 3/8 and 236 pounds. He’s a run-and-hit, undersized linebacker. He’s projected to go in the fourth or fifth round.
Sharpton has the game typical of linebackers from the “U” — speed, versatility and explosive hitting. He was well known for his work in the classroom as on the gridiron. Recruited by many of the top football programs across the country, Sharpton also turned down the likes of Stanford, Boston College and Brown University to remain in his home state.
Read & React: Reacts aggressively to attack the line of scrimmage to stop the run, but is fooled by play-action. Lags when diagnosing the action, bouncing laterally before making the correct read and flowing to the ball. While slow to diagnose, Sharpton does have an explosive burst and very good acceleration to close.
Run defense: Inconsistent diagnosing the action, but has an explosive burst to close once he locates the football. Questionable angles to the ball, but has very good speed for the inside linebacker position and can get away with taking poor angles. Not as fast on the field as he is in workouts, though he can beat the back to the sideline and catch ballcarriers from behind. Undersized and lacks the explosive upper-body strength and use of hands to take on and discard blocks from offensive linemen and is too often engulfed by bigger blockers in close quarters. Relies on his good lateral agility to elude blocks, but will pick a side and attempt to fight through blocks, exposing cutback lanes. Doesn’t have the balance to break down in space to make tackles against elusive backs. Doesn’t protect his knees well enough for a player with his experience.
Pass defense: Inconsistent diagnosing the action. Bites hard on play-action and can be beaten over the top despite being faster than his opponent. Struggles changing direction, further limiting his effectiveness in man coverage. Gains good depth on his drops, but relies on reading the eyes of the quarterback rather than displaying a good feel for coverage. Had only one career INT.
Tackling: A big hitter, but fails to wrap up too often, allowing stronger and more balanced ballcarriers opportunities to run through his tackle attempts. Improved in this area as a senior but still has a tendency to leave his feet and lunge. Good chase linebacker with rare acceleration for the position. Potential to be a special teams standout because of his straight-line speed and explosive hitting ability.
Pass Rush/Blitz: Times the blitz well and can close quickly when given a lane. Shows good lateral agility, including a legitimate jump-cut to elude blockers. Lacks an array of pass-rush moves, but explodes into blockers and can drive them back with a good bull rush due to strength, aggression and natural leverage advantage. Good strength for the pull-down tackle.
Intangibles: Took on more of a leadership role as a senior, devoting much more time to the film room. Struggled early in his career with a variety of knee and ankle injuries. Graduated from high school as part of the prestigious International Baccalaureate program. Also recruited by Boston College, Stanford and Brown University. Earned his degree in finance and entrepreneurship. Nephew of the Reverend Al Sharpton.
Die hard Texan fan from the heart of Denmark!
I just realised
Muckelroy and Eric Norwood are both still on the board. wtf I would have taken both of them of this guy.

What he brings: There’s a lot to like about Sharpton’s toughness and motor. He has to work on his ability to read keys, diagnose plays and locate the ball. He has the potential to become an effective reserve and special teams player.

Just your average, run of the mill hardcore casual Texans fan.
Easy
We don’t need a back-up MLB or a 5th or 6th TE.
We need guards and safeties.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Twitter callouts
happen all the time. It all ends with them saying “you dont kno a dam thing bout futball!”
It’s great.
none of us know shit, thats why we r fans

He's a fine player
but we just signed a 4th TE yesterday. We now have 5? It’s kind of a joke.
We need a G, C, and FS…..and we went ILB and TE…..if this were round 6, I’d be happy. But it’s round 4 and there’s still good talent on the board.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Maybe they'll trade up to grab Johnson
I think I can forgive all as long as they get Johnson

reading about this guy
i kinda like the pick, he sounds like a huge ass wide reciever, nice weapon for schaub . Im thinking kubiac is under the impression, when healthy, and our free agent signing our line is good
"When you can add a TE who can block and catch....you're adding to what we already have at the position"
The TE Coach
“You can never have enough good TEs.”
"Lord, beer me strength."
Reporter: Can he be a back-up FB?
“No, he’s a TE. Strictly a TE.”
Reporter: What do you do when they’re all healthy?
“Let them compete.”
"Lord, beer me strength."
ah yes
because TE is the offensive equivalent to CB

As for the ILB?
He’ll be a back-up, special teamer, and may compete with Zac Diles.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I think his skillset works in well with the Texans weak siders.
Not the guy I would’ve picked but I trust them.

The ILB coach at least makes sense
He may compete with Diles, they only have 6 LBs on the roster……
The TE coach sounds blunderful.
"Lord, beer me strength."
By the way
New thread will be up at the conclusion of Round 4, in case anyone was wondering.

thanks for th heads up
Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.
must be nice getting value in the fourth.....

I guess they like Sharpton better at OLB

in Smithiak i trust...
other than that TE option, i dont care at this point how great he is, we do NOT need another TE

so long bun...
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
Its not THAT bad
You will feel dirty afterwords though
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
Damnit
what’s with this fourth round. Watch Robert Johnson go next

I'm looking at Cincy right now
not as bad as Dallas but still, we could have had him.

nah man we have Eugene Wilson
no need to draft an S..
/sarcasm
by leacheatsbabies on Apr 24, 2010 10:41 AM CDT up reply actions
Eugene Wilson is good
Although injury prone

don't forget old
Look at it this way, if he was not already a Texan and out on the free agent field, the Texans would run away from him….damn, this is a draft need!
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
He isn't that old
We still need safety depth, but I just tend to stand up fo EW against those who thinks he is no good.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
Let's see if he is on the field or on IR by the 5th game of the season...
my money is IR and we will be wondering who we can pick up for depth…like last year??? remember? Busing?

I THINK THEYRE FULL OF SHIT
and OD has the knees of a 70 year old man once took a look after the injury, only thing that makes sense is if they are doubting his ability to return until mid-season
Maybe this draft isn't as deep as we thought..
well atleast according to our trusty FO
by leacheatsbabies on Apr 24, 2010 10:43 AM CDT reply actions
But my draft expertise tells me these guys should be higher on their board
(yeah, maybe we are getting worked up over nothing.)

So Johnson and Petrus are still available?

I think Seattle has had one of the best drafts so far, with cleveland

I'll continue to beat the Robert Johnson drum
until they pass on him again and confirm that he bombed the interview.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I'm going Petrus still
at least we can go Darren Sharper in FA. Who is the best OG available? Pitts?

I want pitts back
he was a solid guy every time

No doubt I want him back too
but microfracture surgery is not a quick recovery

Well i want a safety but a ballhawking saftey
Donovan Warren can play CB and S so maybe
living the Texas dream
that's true
there is still Warren and Franks. So we can still grab some guys

haha
LanceZ thought we had draftet both Moeaki and Graham at TE.
Die hard Texan fan from the heart of Denmark!
Sharper
Schefter is saying lots of teams showing interest in Darrne Sharper. Wonder if we are one of them.
We better
if we are not going to draft one that is
