Houston Texans 2016 NFL Draft Discussion

Braddock likes this guy too

Blue, Hilliard, Ervin

What's the point?

sigh.

 

Blue straight up sucks

Ervin can also return punts and kicks so you have flexibility there between him and Braxton miller.

I

 

Agreed blue has no break away speed but grimes reminds me of foster he just doesn't get enough chances

 

The next Darren Sproles!

 

The Jags are going all defense, we're going all offense.

 

Special Teams player.

4.41 40

Speed Kills

At his size, Ervin looks more like a slot receiver than a running back. Spartans coaches got him the ball in the backfield regularly the past two years, however, and it paid dividends as he led the team in rushing in 2014 (888 yards, four scores) and 2015 (1,469 yards, 13 touchdowns). Ervin's likely to play a rusher/receiver/returner role in the Dexter McCluster mold on Sundays, as he caught 73 passes for 642 yards the past two seasons in addition to his rushing work. His ability as a kick returner (2,374 career yardage, three scores) should also earn him credit among scouts.

 

When you're going for the home run; more often than not you're sticking out.

 

Thought they would go LB or TE, but I like all the playmakers

 

Texans now the fastest team in the league at the skill positions lol.

Imagine running a gadget play with Braxton Miller taking a snap with Ervin split out into the slot with fuller and Hopkins on the outside with Lamar Miller lined up next to Miller.

Triple option lol

Apparently he can catch too, Osweiler will have a TON of weapons, if he sucks, he REALLY sucks. I don't think any QB was put in a better position to succeed before.

They need speed on defense too. The whole "we need speed" started when the Texans defense couldn't catch any of the Dolphins offense. They need speed at LB, safety, and CB.

 

I can seen being confused by the pick but not using Alfred blue Hilliard or grimes as a reason to pass a guy with elite burst and home run hitting speed

 

Texans should never go scoreless.

 

I do agree with this. Troubled that we haven't any players to this defense

 

Billings to the Bengals

 

We needed another runner. The backs we had last year were trash.

 

There goes billings. Great pick for cincy

 

Maybe we use cap space to get some defensive helol after cuts
