the nfl should fine the patriots for changing their mind at the last minute. B.O.B should call the hoodie out in a press conference.
Probably good that they also picked up a petulant aging WR that's going to want 90 receptions this year. Sounds like a recipe for a really fun locker room.
Not sure that I can complain but it feels like Texans missed on a few targets - Chargers trading up 2 slots, trade with Pats getting pulled. Seems like they were hoping for a bigger round. Hopefully they add a ILB and TE in the next rounds...

They may have wanted the free safety the Packers just took versus there being a player the Pats couldn't pass up. Malcolm Brown is not a 3-4 DT in the Wilfork mold. He went to Texas to play in a 4-3.

Texans could have been targeting Stephone Anthony, and killed the trade after he was taken. Anthony is exactly the type of guy the Texans need, and apparently a bunch of teams had him as clear #1 @ inside backer after a great combine.
Where'd you hear that? I saw him ranked third or fourth nearly universally, but thought he'd be a good fit mid second round. He seems like a reach there to me, to be honest. I'd love to see a trade up for DGB, Kendricks or McKinney. I'd be thrilled with any of them.

Dre Johnson just wants to win...simple and plain. I'm as pissed as everyone else he decided to go to Indy, but ummm.....Luck is headed to best QB in the league status and Dre has NEVER had a QB of his caliber. My assumption is there will be NO boat rocking and just play from all parties. Indy D is GARBAGE and they know it, so they just stock piling for O. SOOO.....we need to stockpile for D(fence) #chess
Given their draft history maybe not. He could have also changed his outlook since coming out of Brenham.
