    I'll take it (as long as they go offense for the 2nd pick)

    Watt and Reed say hi.

    16 sacks and 9 forced fumbles. I'll take it. Obviously a BPA pick as it should be.

    Yeah, all of our defensive picks last year sure turned our team into ****. This kid is legit and we need depth on the d-line and line backer after losing Mario and Demeco. Happy camper.

    Would have preferred for them to select a starter with their 1st rounder...

    Got to say, I LOVE this pick. Never, ever, ever can have too many pass rushers. And this is a passing league now. Mercilus is good. Our defense is going to be sick.

    Really interested now to see who they will select in the second round. I hope they go OL or WR.

    GREAT PICK!!!!!

    Mercilus, Barwin, and Reed will become our 3-4 version of the Giants' pass rush. We're SO LUCKY to have this guy slip to us!

    Nothing dominates in this league more than a pass rush.

    high motor guy. Exactly what I heard the Texans wanted when I listened to the Texans' scout on the flight to Indy when they were going to the combine.

    Yeah, I liked it. This is drafting to reinforce a position of relative strength when there should have been other better options.
