2011 NFL Draft Thread - Round 2 v.Wrap-up

PrintHappy happy. Joy joy. That's how I would best describe my evening. And note the lack of the sarcasm font. I love the Brooks Reed pick, even if certain people, let's call them Rivers M - no, wait, that's too obvious - R. McCown - don't. I've long looked down upon taking Brandon Harris, but if we set expectations that he's a nickel CB and no more, the trade up for him was dastardly.
The Texans have gone all-in to improve the defense. We have a new scheme, we have at least three new names on defense, and we have, dare I say, a little hope we might not be the worst defense in NFL history in 2011. I still don't like the JJ Watt pick, but I can be a jerk that way. If we kick him inside to NT, I will be happy and do a little dance. Most of all, this is a team that's shaping up to be one that wants to get to the QB. If I had any feelings, I'd cry about right now.
This is your post Day 2 Open Thread for draft thoughts. Let it shine.

I can. People can say wade took over this draft, but I believe that 3 good minds collaborated into making a solid Texans draft.

3 good minds?
I dunno if I’d say that, but I am actually happy with who we got.
Yeah, I’m actually happy with the Texans draft. F*cking weird.

My expectation is now...
They’re going after a top cornerback and Glover Quin is our new free safety.
If they don’t draft a safety in round four, I’ll then have the expectation that they’re going after Eric Weddle as well.
I think they were a true winner on day two nabbing two talents who definitely improve the defense.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Free agency is a whole different beast though, and that worries me
We’ve just never been any good at it, and EVERYONE will be going after Scrabble and Weddle. We’re going to need one hell of a sales pitch to land either one of them, let alone both. But maybe, just maybe, this draft (and a shit ton of cash in a suitcase) will be enough to make someone like Nnamdi say……hmm, now it doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Scrabble and Dre are friends
and they can improve each others games…

KAreem isn't one of the best CBs in the league
so maybe this year if we get any offseason exercise he might just be better for lining up opposite Dre

I love the patience, or lack of patience, that the people here have.
Asomugha got owned his rookie year, and so did Revis.
I’m not saying Kareem will have their success, but he is not a bust.
He played under a DB coach that did not teach him any technique, and a DC that didn’t understand football.
Vance Joseph seems like a pretty good DB coach, and I’m sure Wade will improve Kareem.
This guy is very far from the bust label.

That'd be ideal.
As good as Asomugha is, you’ve gotta consider your odds of landing him. So while everybody is courting him, we might have less competition negotiating with Joseph. And we’ll also have more money leftover to spend on tattered hats and beard-dirt a free safety.
We're not going to get Scrabble.

I give us a solid A for far this draft.
Reed and Harris were brilliant, brilliant picks, and Watt was a very good one as well.
Would have been an A+ if we had traded back a little bit to get Watt, but I have no problem with taking him at 11.
If we get DeAndre McDaniel or Quinton Carter tomorrow, my draft grade will shoot up to an A+, regardless if we draft 3 TEs with our last 3 picks.

S, DT, WR, QB thats our last four picks
Posted this in another thread but thats how i see us wrapping things up. Not necessarily in that order but those positions. Now on to today’s picks. Lets just say they were awesome. Brooks Reed gives us that rush linebacker we needed who is yet another high motor kinda guy. Great pick-up. I thought the trade up for Brandon Harris was genius. Mayock kept saying there was an abyss after this guy and kept saying he should be gone. To give up nothing but a 5th to move up to get him, simply amazing. He is our nickel corner going forward and makes it so we don’t have to sit and watch the likes of Brice McCain get snaps any longer.
Grade for today: A
Who was the first to see a cow and think "I wonder what will happen if I squeeze these dangly things and drink whatever comes out?
I think it'll be SS, ILB, WR, P
Especially if Herzlich is still on the board in the 6th

No Fly Zone…I love it!
Great picks so far in this draft. It’s really great to have Wade on board. I hope we get a diamond in the rough WR tomorrow that takes pressure off ’Dre. We could also use a new Punter and KR/PR.
Deandre McDaniel
Thats who I want in the 4th. would be a good SS for us.

McDaniel is Bernard Pollard, though he can actually cover someone.

Lovin it
This draft has been wonderful so far. We grabbed a true 3-4 DE that can jump into the rotation with mario and antonio, and also allow flexibility with where we play mario. JJ can also move inside in nickel packages. The Brooks Reed pick was fantastic; fills a huge need and was great value at the same time. Trading up to get a great value with Harris was also a fantastic move. Our front 7 is looking good, got questions at nose, but I think okoye, mitchell, and Cody can manage there. Front 7, DE-Mario, DE-Antonio, Watt in the rotation, making sh@t happen, NT-? OLB-Brooks, ILB-Cushing, ILB-Mecco, OLB-Barwin. Looking good boys
As I've been saying a lot today
Let’s just hope DeMeco is at 100%
Don't get your hopes up.

Front 7????
Williams-Watt-Smith (with movement of Okoye in and out of rotation??)
Reed-Cushing-Meco (if healthy ?)- Barwin (here’s to hoping our two guys are good) (maybe rotation of moving Williams back and even Okoye???)
These are just thoughts do not flame me.. but it seems that Wade is having a lot of influence on this draft… I see at least an SS pick, a WR pick, and def. a Punter either as mr insignificant or UDFA. Interested to see where this goes!

Phillips might let Okoye roll for a season see if he can work him into the scheme, we would still need a UT for Nickel or any other 4 linemen front, and he with the right tutelage or even someone to help next to him other than SHAUN CODY i believe he might be able to prosper.

I still have my concerns about the lockout mess holding our progress back
But at least I’m feeling a hell of a lot better about our personnel situation now. I think Wade just may be able to pull off another one of his signature quick turn around jobs, assuming he can get this group together to start practicing soon.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Not really looking for a quick turn around.
If this defensive unit is close to average this coming season, i’ll be okay.
I want Wade to build a solid defense. And he’s getting there.

I'll be the first one to say this.
Brandon Harris might have a low ceiling, but he’ll be a great CB2. Doesn’t have speed and size to cover a WR2, but he can shut down 2nd tier WR’s and make the tackle.
Been a fan before the draft. Now that he’s a Texans, i’m an even bigger fan.
Might be the second best CB in Texan’s history barring injuries.
Oh, and he’s pretty good in run support too.

I have a hard time envisioning Reed ever becoming a double-digit sack guy. It worries me that he never dominated college competition. But hey… He looks OK on tape, so I’ll give him the benefit of doubt. More bodies to make the transition to 3-4 never hurts.
Remember,
Reed only transferred from a HB to an OLB/DE two years ago. He’s still got plenty of upside.

Not sure if this has been posted 15 million times already, but I love it…
From Chad Reuter’s Analysis of J.J. Watt
Intangibles: Excellent character and work ethic. Won the Lott IMPACT Award for integrity, maturity, performance, academics, community and tenacity among college defenders. Began the Justin J. Watt Foundation to help schools fund athletic programs, does quite a bit of community work. Academic All-Big Ten in 2009 and 2010. Brother Derek is scheduled to play football at UW in 2011.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1631198/jj-watt
This is on top of being a “High Motor Player” which is my favorite asset for a defensive player
One more thought on the subject...
whether you like or dislike Kubiak and Smith for there drafting abilities, the one thing they seem to do year in and year out is draft good character guys, guys that excel academically, team captains, etc…I dig that and I believe that will pay dividends for the franchise over the long haul

Safeties I like with a 4th round pick
Deunta Williams or Robert Sands
both big rangy athletes would be upgrades over Nolan and Barber.
I still would like to see a safety corps of one of these guys + Huff, Quin, and Nolan.
I think that would be a huge, but possible, upgrade over last year.

Perfect, perfect draft so far
I know it’s been said here already several times but I cannot express just how excited I am right now. I was so incredibly disheartened when last season ended and I still have a lingering sadness with the lockout and the legal bullshit going on right now. But this draft so far…my faith and excitement are peaking (along with my junk).
JJ Watt, physical freak, high motor, great character, and versatility to play anywhere along the line in the 3-4. For those who say it was too high/we had other options available, just watch him play and you’ll be convinced that he was BPA at a position of need.
Brooks Reed, I admit that I never watched him play but from everything I’ve read about him he has as much potential at the rush OLB position as anyone. I mean, imagine going from 0-10 yards in 1.54 seconds. Just take a stopwatch and see what you can do in that time and then imagine that he travels 30 feet in that amount of time. Shit, I can’t even grab the remote control on the next seat cushion in that time.
Harris, another guy I don’t know too much about but if his projected “ceiling” is as a great nickel corner that’s amazing value for a 3 and a 5. And who knows, he may end up being more than that, and I personally believe that he will be a #2 corner at some point down the line.
With all the holes that we had to fill on defense this staff did a great job of filling the biggest ones with the best players available to them and I could not be happier or more proud right now.
Now please, let the legal crap get resolved and let’s get to free agency. We need a true #1 corner (Nnamdi please? Or Taylor, Joseph), and get a safety (Danieal Manning?) and move Quin to safety and this will be a great defense on paper. I’m more confident than ever that this front office is willing and able to make big moves during free agency.
After so many months of football dejection I’m a happy man again, if only for a few nights.
Quinton Carter hopefully
