Official 2012 NFL Draft Round 4-7 Thread

Yes, this thread will be more thrilling than mowing your lawn today.

I'm going to spend today on the road rather than stress out with draft picks. The Texans always go in directions I don't consider after the first round so there's no point waiting for guys to fall to us because the Texans aren't interested in those guys anyway.

I'll check back after I return home late afternoon.

Just to keep everyone on pins and needles and add to the excitement, maybe today's the day we get a king's ransom in a Jacoby Jones trade.

C Ben Jones Georgia

[Warren]

6-2, 304
4-year starter
Smart, scrappy, hard worker
Good fit for a zone scheme
"a poor man's Jeff Saturday"

With them drafting this center (and potential guard), maybe they are gonna play the big guy from Miami, OH @ RT ?

[Nconroe]

Well, we needed depth behind Chris Meyers. Ben should be ok for fourth round.

"Ben Jones is on the ground too much. He's a good player, but he's not as athletic as you would like. He got knocked around a lot at the Senior Bowl... He has short arms. He played overweight because the new strength coach wanted him bigger. His ideal weight, where he could bend, is around 300. I thought he was a late-rounder personally."
