Official 2012 NFL Draft Round 2-3 Thread

[Keith]

...the search for Jacoby's replacement continues...

[WMH]

I'm seeing one of following for us in the 2nd:
Sanu - WR - Rutgers
Quick - WR - App St.
Massie - OT - Ole Piss
Adams - OT - OH St.

Hill has the measureables but my gut tells me Randle is going to be a better all-around WR and is a better fit for this team. I'm hoping they can somehow snag him, but they'll have to move up to get him. No way I wanted Fleener at #26, but he'd be intriguing in this offense and I might move up a few picks to get him if he starts to drop. I have a feeling he'll go to the Colts, though, since he's Luck's buddy and they have zero legit TE's on roster. If it's WR, I assume Jeffery, Sanu and Quick will all be there. Massie is intriguing. I don't think they touch Adams.

You could be entirely wrong about Hill. I think he will be a monster in a year or so. Randle may do well also.

Never said Hill will be a bust. I like him and he may very well have a nice career. I just think that Hill will be a straight-line speed threat, whereas, Randle will be a better all-around (blocking, slot, middle and deep) threat and fits better with what this team needs from a #2. JMHO. It's sort of the Mike Wallace vs. Antonio Brown syndrome. They're both great players, and one team might prefer Wallace's straight-line speed and another team might prefer Brown's all-around style. I think the Texans need a Brown-type WR as opposed to a Wallace-type WR (atlthough, I'll take anything to upgrade what we have now).

I'm listening to 610 AM radio right now and FWIW John McClain, a guest on the show, just said very confidantly that the Texans WOULD NOT take a WR UNTIL the 3rd round. I for one will be surprised if that scenario plays out, but we'll see?

[popanot]

I think I'd go CB or OL if Round 2 went this way:

I'd probably take Trumaine Johnson or Josh Robinson over Sanu.

[Warren]

Jeff Fisher slammed his glasses and "uttered a one-syllable expletive" when the Jags jumped up to take Blackmon in front of them, so it looks highly likely that one of those receivers comes off the board at #33.

[popanot]

Well, Quick was kind of unexpected so that drops down a couple of our guys.

[popanot]

Upshaw looks more like a 3-4 DE than a LB.

Attn: Texans secondary. Your division now includes Justin Blackmon, Kendall Wright and Coby Fleener. Prepare accordingly.

@LaCanfora breaking Commish's request and tweeting upcoming pick well in advance of draft show. Bills - Cordy Glenn

[popanot]

He says Dolphins - Jonathan Martin

Hill to Jets

[Warren]

Here go the OTs.

[popanot]

Let's jump into that STL or PHI slot and take Randle.

[HPF Bob]

There went Glenn and Martin, the two I hoped would fall to us. Schwartz was already taken. Will it be Massie? Sanders? Potter?

There goes Hill to the Jets. Randle is still on the board.

[popanot]

CHI drafts Jeffery. Come on go up and get Randle!

SD is gonna grab him.......

[HPF Bob]

So, who's going to be the retired Texan when it's our turn? Domanick Davis? Aaron Glenn? Most of the guys they bring up are short so the Commish doesn't look like a dwarf.

I'm thinking Davis, or whatever he goes by now. They've all been good (or better) retired players who were drafted by the team whose pick they're announcing. For the Texans that's a very short list to choose from. Chester Pitts is still active, isn't he? I doubt they'd pick him anyway since he was very outspoken about Goodell during the lockout.
