My top OL comes off the board to protect Phillip Rivers (who I despise). Hoped he would go to a team that I like. Now, my top guys are Obi Melifonwu, Davis Webb, Dan Feeney, Chris Wormley, Jordan Willis, Zach Cunningham, Chidobe Awuzie, Derek Rivers, Tyus Bowser, Taylor Moton, Ahkello Witherspoon, Bucky Hodges, Anthony Walker Jr, Cordrea Tankersley, Sydney Jones, Fabian Moreau, Alvin Kamara, and Dion Dawkins.

My Colts are coming up. I wish that I could select Obi Melifonwu instead of Hooker, but since we already have him, I would look at Raekwon McMillan, Dan Feeney, Jordan Willis, Chris Wormley, Chidobe Awuzie, Derek Rivers, Tyus Bowser, Taylor Moton, or Ahkello Witherspoon at pick #46.

Dang it!! I was hoping Adam Shaheen would be there for us, I really like this kid, reminds me a lot of Gronk.

I'm guessing Obi Melifonwu will be our pick if he's still there, I know the Texans where pretty high on him, Foreman, the RB out of Texas is my darkhorse. I'd be ecstatic with either one.

OT Dion Dawkins from Temple could be a possibility.

I was hoping we'd take Foreman in the 2nd, getting him in the 3rd was awesone. Hes's a load, can be an every down back that can handle any load. Too much Miller and Blue getting pushed back, Foreman is a definite improvement. Very nice draft so far, Cunningham in the 2nd was a steal, now Foreman in the 3rd

I can't complain so far about acquiring Watson, Cunningham or Foreman although I, like many, still wonder where help for the OL is coming from. Do you suppose the Texans are still counting on David Quessenberry to play tackle? He's still on the roster.

BTW, Foreman represents the first Texas Longhorn drafted by the Texans of any significance. There was the one guard Studdard but he was a free agent and a close friend of Kyle Shanahan. Otherwise, they've mostly shunned Longhorn players whether Austin was coming off good years or bad ones.

So, if I were Chris Ballard, My Colts would have Forrest Lamp and Obi Melifonwu. If I had to take Hooker, I would have 2 Ohio State Buckeyes, Hooker and McMillan.

The Texans are coming up and my draft board is similar to what I would like for My Colts. The cover ILB, the RG, the OLB, the DE, the RT, and the CB.

Raiders get Obi Melifonwu. Davis Webb is still available. Wow. The Texans select Zach Cunningham, Brian Cushing Cushing is at the end.

I have Davis Webb as my best available prospect. The Texans could have had him over Cunningham. The rest of My Guys are Dan Feeney, Jordan Willis, Chris Wormley, Chidobe Awuzie, Derek Rivers, Taylor Moton, Ahkello Witherspoon, and Bucky Hodges.

I am dumbfounded that Davis Webb is still available. After him, I still have Chris Wormley, Derek Rivers, Bucky Hodges, Anthony Walker Jr, Cordrea Tankersley, Fabian Moreau, Alex Anzalone, Montravius Adams, Carl Lawson, and Kareem Hunt.

Chris Wormley going to Ozzie Newsome. #74 overall and I had him ranked #22.

But Cunningham is also very highly regarded but still surprising given our needs in the OLine. When do we take a tackle, surely in third ?

Side note from last night.

Arizona had their #13 draft card filled out with Deshaun Watson's name on it...they were pissed when HOU traded ahead of them to get him.

Money talks, Brucie.

I've been meaning to ask about Newton. Has anyone heard anything one way or the other?

Our Oline isn't desperate is it, we have center coming back, not sure on Newton.

Anywsys, here is a review on our new ILB, Zach Cunningham, plays run, and pass.

Saints are/were supposedly dangling a #2 for next year to get into this round. I wonder how much thought they gave that.
