    23 offensive players taken. Good for Texans if targeting defenders.

    So many good players left. Texans have to trade up. DeJean, Newton, Cooper, Mckinstry, etc...

    The one thing I will say about AD Mitchell, after watching every snap at UT and a bunch at Bama...

    He will for fight for and mostly catch damn near everything he gets his hands on.

    I think we can sit tight and still get one of them. But I get it, go get the guy you want

    Not night and day cos they're born on the same day.

    Here we go:

    BTJ
    Pros - dunks on people with his leap, TD+ a game, high catch rate, almost 50% on contested balls, big wing span
    Cons - not great in zone, route tree work in progress (note, not raw)

    Mitchell
    Pros - good at getting open in space, TD+ a game, big explosive games (especially against KU, KSU, OKST), good hands (low drop rate 4.5%)
    Cons - wasted movements on his routes (overcomplicates it), poor yardage per game 845 over 14 games, injury history, low production for his background as a high recruit

    But he practiced against the Iowa offense, that's gotta be great NFL training

    I doubt DeJean, Mckinstry, or Newton will be there at 42....but who knows. Edjerrin Cooper probably will.

    Geez, cj FAWNING over Pearsall..

    They just asked Micah and cj during the live stream reactions who had the best first round:
    Micah - “bears”
    Cj - “chiefs getting worthy when they know how to make him successful… but I gotta go niners man, Pearsall”

    Can you post your Stroud scouting report from last year?

    Who do you hate this draft? That’s who I want the Texans to take.

    I'm impressed that CJ knows who Johnny Pearsall (the pioneer of Miami Soul music) was.

    Who are you? Have we talked before?

    I missed on Stroud. Not many other misses out there kiddo. I admitted it and moved on. I have no idea who you are, so move around

    If there are so many good players left, why should we trade up?

    If we can get DeJean...it would immediately make the 2ndary better. He can take over the cover safety and we won't get burn from that position like last season. Hope the Texans trade up to get him.

    Who would you take at 42, with so many good players?

    I see that you're doubling down on your drafttime persona from last season.

    It was a great look then, I'm sure it'll work even better now.
