Official 2010 NFL Draft Round 2 & 3 Thread

[Keith]

My Peter King impression:
I think I think everyone expects the Texans to draft a running back on Friday, probably even as high as the second round.

I am hoping they go DT, and then RB. I would hope they go Houston or Joseph in the 2nd. But I don't think the 4 RBs that make sense make it to our 3rd round pick. So I have no clue how to handle this.

2011 #2 to the Raiders for McFadden? jk

If we don't draft one, I have a feeling there are going to be a few decent RBs on the waiver wire or available for cheap trade after the draft. Maybe Portis, McGahee, LJ, Lynch??? They might not be ideal, but should be able to carry us for a year.

I want Taylor Mays.

Price would be a good tackle, but don't think he'll last long. Charles Brown has dropped some as he may not be big enough to play OT...he might make a good ZRB OG. I think the Texans may wait till the 3rd for the RB.

The general thinks the pick will be Gerhart or Tate. He hopes Houston falls to our 3rd, but if not he thinks it will be a DT or FS in the 3rd round.

The RBs I see as available in the 2nd that we might be interested in are Toby Gerhart, Ben Tate, Jonathan Dwyer, and Montario Hardesty. Lance Z says that Hardesty has a medical issue and could fall to the 5th. So he maybe off the board.

The internet gurus, who are proving once again to know nothing, have Gerhart and Tate as late 3rds and early 4th rounders. I have thought for weeks that there will be a run on the RBs in the 2nd.

IMO the OL is the issue not the RB, but in the opinion of most experts, few of these guys (OL) are NFL ready, and a RB can run just about anytime, so the Texans will take a player that can contribute today over a guy with a higher and longer upside. Again.

BTW I am not upset with Jackson, I have the 3 CBs after Harden all about the same, some like Coke some like Pepsi and some like Dr Pepper. I am upset with the draft management, it seems we do not have the team that can get moves made. Look at Parchell's in Miami, look at the new team in Denver, look at the Cowboy's, they all move to gather picks and grab their guy.

Let the draft fall to you and you end taking a guy that no one else would have taken for 5 to 8 picks later.

Yes, and those trades were going on all around our position so you can't say we didn't have the opportunity.

From Bush's interview they seem to be prepared to take the highest rated player available for a need position. When their RB got taken (possibly Matthews) they reverted to defense.

Still sour grapes, huh PK? Judging by last year the Texans draft room isn't doing too bad.
