    Pancakes doesn't even follow football. He decides to root for people based on who the sad homer commentators on his laughable blog want. Gotta pander to those hit counts.

    Interesting pick in Blue. If they did their homework on him, he could be a steal as a smashback for goalline or 3rd and short.

    By Brian McDonald --

    The Houston Texans scratched another need off the board with the selection of defensive end Jeoffrey Pagan from Alabama with the first pick in Round 6.

    At first glance the pick seems like a reach; CBS Sports has Pagan ranked as the 266th best overall prospect. There are only 256 picks in this year's draft so that puts Pagan in the range of being an undrafted free agent.

    Jeoffrey Pagan does fit the size requirement of most teams for a 3-4 defensive end at 6'3'' and 310 pounds as Rob Rang of CBS Sports points out.

    Built like a Coke machine - wide and heavy - and is just as difficult to move. Anchors well at the point of attack due to size and strength. Pops the offensive lineman with a strong initial punch and shows good patience to wait for the running back to come to him, before forcefully ripping free. Active hands and shows surprising burst to close when he gets a free lane.

    Nolan Nawrocki of NFL.com points out some of the weaknesses that led to Pagan being rated as a late round prospect to possibly an undrafted free agent.

    Thick, tight hips -- cannot work the edges. Gets blown off the ball by double teams. Needs to play with better extension, refine his hand use, develop counters and quicken his shed timing. Heavy-legged when required to redirect. Limited pass-rush value. Only a one-year starter. Average production -- did not make splash plays.

    Pagan fits a need but that's only if he gets on the field. As a sixth round pick that's doubtful. Personally I thought there were other prospects available at need positions that I would have rather seen them select like Storm Johnson or Christian Jones.

    Grade: C

    What'll be funny is if both of those guys are there when the Texans pick again.

    The good news about the Titans getting Mettenburger and Lewan is that the next time Mettenburger gets into trouble with sexual battery, Lewan can threaten to rape the victim unless she drops the charges......the Titans are such a great character franchise.

    6'2 220lbs. Oh mama he's a big back. I'm imagining more two back formations with him. Besides Savage I'm very satisfied with this draft

    This might be the heaviest draft class in the history of draft classes.
