Good odds he’ll go mid 2nd round

That seems high for a RB recovering from a knee injury. Hopefully, it is true.

Could have stayed at 23 and had Brian Thomas instead of Diggs...  Not loving that trade back and swap now.

all of this

CTJ says both LSU receivers suck, so yay that Brian Thomas went to Jags?

Extending Mixon and reducing Diggs’s contract both seem like poor decisions

Ultimate question will be would you rather have Thomas or Diggs AND whoever we take at #42….

Diggs helps you win more this year, which appears to be a priority 

There's four "first rounders" with red flags who went undrafted in Cooper DeJean, Jer'Zhan Newton, Adonai Mitchell, and Kool-Aid McKinstry. Teams might not have some or all of them on their boards at all. I wonder if Houston does? 

There's several centers who I don't think Houston would take, so root for those guys to go off the board early (Jackson Powers-Johnson and Zach Frazier)

Here's DJ's best available 

24    Cooper DeJean
25    Jer'Zhan Newton
27    Adonai Mitchell
28    Kool-Aid McKinstry
29    Edgerrin Cooper
30    Ladd McConkey
32    Ennis Rakestraw Jr
34    Zach Frazier
38    Braden Fiske
41    Payton Wilson
42    Keon Coleman
43    Junior Colson
44    Malachi Corley
45    Marshawn Kneeland
 

The top guys who visited who are still on the board

Edgerrin Cooper

Ennis Trakestraw Jr

Payton Wilson

Marshawn Kneeland

Kignsley Suamataia

Javon Bullard

Michael Hall Jr

I think they'd go Rakestraw over Sainristil. Hall Jr at #59 would be a home run 

 

I watched the Bleacher Report livestream coverage with CJ and Micah Parsons for the entire draft. Way better experience than ESPN or NFL network IMO. You get commentary from two current players who are football junkies that provide a refreshing perspective. And there was only 1 analyst giving his thoughts on each pick. 

1. CJ LOVES Ricky Pearsall. Visibly upset when SF took him. Said Pearsall was his 2nd favorite WR in this draft after Marvin Harrison, Jr. 

2. You can tell he wants the Texans to take Michael Hall Jr. 

3. He was understandably very annoyed that KC got Xavier Worthy.

This is the exact type of thinking that leads front offices to choose Treylon Burks over AJ Brown.

I thought last night made our trade down look even better.  Tons of talent at need positions still left.

Brown was young.  Diggs is old.

Can I hope someone takes Ennis Rakestraw Jr before the Texans pick?

These two picking their favorites at each position and talking about how the play will go down is very entertaining. Also it lets you see how smart CJ really is as a QB and play designer, and he's only 22. 

 

 

I could watch those two go back and forth all day. Love his football IQ at such a young age. I'd love to see his reaction to Worthy being drafted by the Chiefs. 

Zierlein has the Texans taking CB Sainristil at 42, DT Hall AT 59 and USC safety Calen Bullock at 86. 

Diggs and Anderson were better than anyone taken in the first last nigh

LOL, he looks legitimately pissed off.

Kid sounds super-sharp. This Oiler fan may have to give a shit about Houston football again

Jump on, man. Finally time to give a shit about Houston pro football again. 

 

If we could give up no more than one of the 4th rounders and end up with DeJean, Newton, or Kool Aid that would be a phenomenal stroke of fortune. Grab the top DT/CB left with the other 2nd rounder, BPA in the 3rd (ideally an interior OL or a S) and that’s a hell of a night….

I think the aggy LB is a real possibility at 42. He’s damn good and seems like a Demeco type player. Could help with special teams as well.

I would sure take him.

Sucks that Dejean and Kool Aid went right ahead of us.

Nickel back at the very least.

Slot corner. Will start over Desmond King

id like to draft him

I don’t think I like how this draft is going

AD to division rival Indy, Worthy to AFC favorite KC and we picked a DB that runs in the 4.6s. I trust Demeco, but would love to be more excited with our next pick. 

Caserio uses game film to determine speed. Don’t freak out about the combine time. This guy is going to be a fan favorite.

I remember everyone bagging on Joe Haden for being too slow.

Looks like DT is off the table for this round; could pick up Lassiter’s teammate Bullard or the guy from Utah to round out the secondary. Couple of well-regarded LBs available also…

GB picked the S right ahead of us. I’m thinking LB here

I didn’t want OL early. Looks like Tytus’ time is up.

Edited by Macklemore

Will never be mad with OL draft picks. Fisher is young and a little raw, he provides depth if LT or Tytus get banged up.

Unless it’s Kenyon Green.

They just restructured his contract. There would be a pretty big cap hit for the next couple of years. Last year should have taught you that OL depth is crucial.

Think it just means they don’t trust him to make it through a season.

John Harris said that he likes Fisher better than Alt.
