2013 NFL Draft: Battle Red Blog's Coverage

I'm sure you've had many a sleepless night, wondering how BRB will be handling the 2013 NFL Draft. You'll be able to sleep well at night, because I'm about to tell you what we'll be doing. Just in case, feel free to have a drink or two. I hear that helps you sleep too.

THURSDAY
6 a.m. CDT: We'll post a thread to start the countdown to the 2013 NFL Draft. The idea is for everyone to converse, speculate, and prepare for what is sure to be an eventful first round. Depending on how heavy the commenting gets, there could be another thread or three as the day progresses.

6:45 p.m. CDT: The first official open thread for the 2013 NFL Draft will post. This will be the place for you to share your hopes, dreams, and snide observations as the first round unfolds. With each team having up to ten minutes to make its pick, your Houston Texans will not go on the clock for a few hours (barring a trade up!). Thus, we'll probably have multiple open threads as the commenting picks up steam.

Time TBD: As soon as your Houston Texans make their first move of the 2013 NFL Draft, be it trade, pick, or whatever, we'll have a post up so everyone can share their reaction to whatever has happened.

Time TBD: After the reaction post, we'll get a more detailed post up that will examine the newest Texan in greater detail.

There will be another draft-related post or two sprinkled in before the draft starts, probably around 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. CDT on Thursday. I hope you'll find those entertaining as well.

FRIDAY
6 a.m. CDT: We'll have a post for everyone to opine on how the first round went down. It'll be Texans-centric, of course, but anything that happened in Round One will be fair game.

9 a.m. CDT: We'll post a thread to count down to the second and third rounds of the 2013 NFL Draft. It'll be a fine place to wax poetic about what the Texans did the night before and what you hope they'll do Friday night. Depending on how heavy the commenting gets, there could be another thread or three as the day progresses.

5:15 p.m. CDT: The first official open thread for the second and third rounds of the 2013 NFL Draft will post. Again, depending on the number of comments, we'll open additional threads as necessary.

Time TBD: As soon as your Houston Texans make their first move of the night, be it trade, pick, or whatever, we'll have a post up so everyone can share their reaction to whatever has happened. This will happen for each pick, so as of now, you can expect three reaction posts--one for the second round pick and two for the third round picks.

Time TBD: After the reaction posts, we'll get more detailed posts up that will examine the newest Texans in greater detail. Again, this will happen for each pick, so as of now, you can expect a quasi-detailed analysis of the Texans created in the second and third round late on Friday night.

SATURDAY
6 a.m. CDT: We'll post a thread to count down to the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. It'll be a fine place to share analysis about what the Texans have done in the first three rounds and what you hope they'll do on Saturday. Depending on how heavy the commenting gets, there could be another thread before the actual open thread for the draft publishes.

10:45 a.m. CDT: The first official open thread for the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft will post. This will be the place for you to commiserate with the rest of the draft junkies who refuse to tune out even after the "exciting rounds" are done. Although interest in the draft predictably wanes after Friday night, we may have multiple open threads as the day unfolds.

Time TBD: When your Houston Texans make their first move of the day, be it trade, pick, or whatever, we'll have a post up so everyone can share their reaction to whatever has happened. This will happen for each pick, so as of now, you can expect a reaction post once in the fourth, fifth, and seventh rounds. The sixth round? You get two (2!) such posts!

Time TBD: After the reaction post, we'll get a more detailed post up that will examine the newest Texan in greater detail. Again, this will happen for each pick, so as of now, you can expect quasi-detailed analyses of the multiple Texans created in the fourth through seventh rounds.

Time TBD: Once the 2013 NFL Draft is over, we'll have a final post that lists all the newest Texans. That'll be your spot to take a bigger picture look on the Texans' draft as a whole.

There could well be additional posts in there as events or mood dictate, but that's our working plan. Thoughts or concerns? Make them known in the Comments.
