[Official] Texans Draft Day Thread

Gordon is a stud and you know it. Everyone drops passes.

Yes, but no one drops them like Gordon.

 

Ideally hope the team can trade back a few spots and still pick up either Nix, Tuitt, or Hagemann

 

I like. Get the NT. Take the space eater.

 

There is a potential issue with Nix only being a two down player but I think he can get on the field on 3rd downs. He has enough from the 1 gap to push the pocket and if he gets 1 on 1s it will be a big problem for QBs.

Mercilus Nix Watt Clowney

Dirty front four on 3rd downs. Oof

 

Agreed.
You have your 3 . . . in your three four
and all of them under 27 [how old is watt?]

Lance seems to think that Romeo will play a lot of nickel, which means no NT on the field. 33 may be too high to spend on a guy who won't be on the field that much.

 

Omg...... Please.

Earl Mitchell was a large reason the Texans defense was BAD!!!

 

Nix will be a big time bust. Don't understand the hype at all. Won't last 3 years in the league with how out of shape he is.

 

If we really are only going to play 30% of the time in base packages, NT would be a rough sell at 33, especially one with knee problems.

 

Nix wasn't good against good o lines. Oklahoma handled him easily last year.

 

Fair point. Isn't Nix supposed to be fairly versatile and able fit in many schemes? Even some 4-3 fronts benefit from a space eater who commands the double.

Don't know details about the prospects, but I like the idea of taking a NT.

 

Drafting a nose tackles that plays less than 50% of snaps is a terrible value pick

 

I thought Nix's drop from the first round was due to knee issues or something.

And I think they just reported that Cleveland knew that Gordon would be suspended for at least part of the season 2 weeks before the draft and still didn't draft Watkins with their first pick.

 

No, the stupid fans that judge player talent on combines rather than years of actual performance on the field.

 

Following English grammar rules, I don't think your sentence said what you wanted it to say.

 

If LaCanfora is right this time it will be the first time.

 

It's Jimmy G!!!!
