Official 2013 NFL Draft - Round 1 Thread

I am hoping for a trade down out of the 1st round, would like to grab an extra 3rd round pick for the drop back.

Whomever the Texans take, I expect it will be someone I didn't want. That's usually the way this works.

I hope we go defense.

So I guess this means we go offense....

I hope we don't get someone that sucks.

Looking back at past Drafts, I remember when the Texans drafted Brown & Cushing & JJ, I was somewhat disappointed in each instance, yet I liked and was excited about the choice to draft Amobi Okoye at the time. So anyway, by now I've learned not to read too much into my own initial personal feelings about the pick on Draft day.

Possibilities...WR Justin Hunter, ILB Manti Teo, OT Manelik Watson, QB EJ Mauel, TE Zach Ertz, DT Kawan Short, CB Marcus Trufant, OT Tyron Armstead

DL in the first, WR in the second.

I do remember we passed up Derrick Johnson to draft Travis Johnson and we passed up Patrick Willis to draft Okoye. I really wanted both of those guys. Duane Brown seemed like a reach when he was taken and it seemed most of us were looking at a speed rusher from North Carolina instead of Watt.

When we drafted Kareem Jackson, I wanted a CB and he was supposedly the best on the board even though I wasn't all that solid about him. I recall half the guys wanted Clay Matthews instead of his USC teammate Cushing. Looks like you couldn't have gone wrong with either.

Yup, I wanted Derrick Johnson, Patrick Willis, and Clay Matthews. Thanks for reminding me.
