I don't know but the Patriots have been trading down for about 15 years it seems and apparently that's worked out.
My late night thoughts on first 2 days: #16 Kevin Johnson CB WF I wanted Cam Erving so bad Or Landon Collins If had to be CB would have taken J Collins LSU here Bad value ... others much later like Darby PJWill AlexCarter same level #52 Benardrick McKinney ILB MSST Love position but MUCH rather have Kendricks Need speed and coverage to pair w Cush Still not bad and should start yr1 Solid starter to replace Cush in yr or 2 #70 Jaelen Strong WR ASU LOVE THIS & called trade up 2nd yr in a row (Nix) Perfect Dre replacement and GREAT value Personal target of mine for awhile as trade down from #16 Will be a STAR Ceiling - Alshon Jeffrey Floor - Michael Floyd Overall these are exact 3 positions I wanted them to target top100 Taking Erving #16 would have made this perfect DAY3 Board Priority #1 - OLB Chickillo MIA Crawford CLEM Drew GEO #2 - C/G Matias/Jackson FSU Kouandijo ALA Douglas ASU #3 - FS Drummond MICH ST Jefferson UCLA Hackett/Carter TCU #4 - Slot WR Crowder DUKE Greene FSU Diggs MARY Goodley BAY My ideal Day3: 4 - Crowder WR3 5 - Chickillo SOLB 6 - Drummond FS 6 - Kouandijo OL 7 - Mike Davis RB
I think Lance is trying to be a positive mouth piece for the Texans so he can eventually replace pancakes...I mean I don't really blame him, but I take what he says about Texans with a grain of salt these days.
Some slot receivers , Kick returners and two good RB's left, though I guess we shouldn't project lower than maybe 150 And Shipley is not on the list, I'd like to draft him rather than fight for in as a FA. 12.

One, I don't think many people would call him a positive mouthpiece for the Texans considering his consistent takes on Rick smith needing to be fired and his using Russian propaganda skits to mock people who defend the Texans. But let's assume he is mr positive Texan, you think he wants to leave his job as a star radio host in Houston that gets spots on national radio and TV for his nfl coverage as well as a paid gig writing for the nfl to be a regular columnist in a dying media format?
I reLly like derron smith. A lot of mocks had him in the second and third. I wonder if there is something wrong with him. I'd b ecstatic to get him and I'd be willing to trade late picks next year to move up for him.
I say you take a chance on TJ Clemings and Jay Ajayi. Clemings will be a beast. Also wouldn't mind Crowder, Holliman, Kwon Alexander, Hayes Pulliard, or a late gamble on Ekpre-Olomu.
As a rice owls fan I watched Christian Covington (DE) perform very well. He tore up the A&M line that included Jake Matthews in 2013. He would be a great 6th or 7th pick
i'm pumped for the season to start already! 80 days til training camp. that's like what 66 more consecutive astros wins. =) we just need these guys to make through the season with only flesh wounds but no serious injuries.
Texans apparently preferred Lockett to Strong also. http://espn.go.com/blog/houston-tex...om-andre-johnson-era-in-aggressive-second-day
Screw the Jags for taking Greene. Not that many selections for slot wr's now. McBride and the Baylor WR, that's it.
