    6'4 340lbs with 34 inch arms. I think teams are starting to value guards and right tackle prospects more than in previous years. Because of this, I think Ford goes top 20.

    I think our first round guys will come down to Andre Dillard, Dalton Risner, and Cody Ford. Most likely only 1 of those guys will be available at 23, and I think most likely it will be Risner.

    How do we feel about him? If we take Risner at 23 and Greg Little is available in the 3rd round, would you take him? His stock is seriously dropping.

    A good chance we may be able to snag one of those 2nd tier CBs in the 2nd round as the crop is pretty weak. However, we are in desperate need of speed in the secondary, it's something we've always lacked and there isn't much in this year's draft.

    Probably, but I wouldn't feel good about Little protecting Watson in his 1st game as a rookie.

    As far ad speed goes Baker did well in the 40 during the combine. How would the board feel getting him at #23 and focusing on linemen in the next 2 rounds since this is a pretty good draft for OL?

    Greedy did well in the 40 as well. How would you feel about getting him and 2 lineman?

    I’d be okay if Taylor, Dillard, Williams or Ford are all gone. Think any of those guys are as good OL prospects you can ask for at #23. Hard to pass that up IMO.

    I wouldn't be upset. Just not as big on Greedy as I am on Baker. Layne is still my top CB.

    I would put Risner in that group as well.

    if the thing about Baker's character is true, he's off my board

    That's the problem. How do you know it is true.

    Mine neither. But he seems like the type who would have a chip on his shoulder for dropping. I will take him in the 2nd.

    Dillard, Risner, Jamel, Greedy, Layne... Gimme 2 of those, if we have to trade both 2nds to move up in the 2nd to get 2 of those, I'm down. I like Baker and Murphy, but I want height and speed. I'm sick of low level WR's like Hilton and Agohlor just coming in and destroying us because they are straight up faster. Height will help when we cant contest balls and if we need help on a team with zero receivers but a tall tight end.

    Those guys over there at TDN said they have heard that since midseason last year and I am sure the Texans will call coaches, teammates, scouts, etc.

    But it's still all hear-say and perspective. I'm sure you will find others that will say wonderful things about him.

    1st round talent with off the field concerns. Would be nice to see us take a shot at a guy like that. I think we could use a big body guy like Williams in the WR room.

    A guy I liked was Lil’ Jordan Humphrey, I knew he was slow but I wasn’t expecting 4.79. If he’s there in the 5th, I would still jump all over it
