DeAndre Hopkins - Houston's first round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft

Anyone who thinks Patterson is going to be better then Hopkins doesn't watch football. This was a great pick.

 

I think the best case scenario being Roddy White and the worst case being Brandon Lloyd sounds about right.

 

The play around 3:10 of this video tells me all I need to know about Hopkins' speed. He is going to be just fine.

 

I hate when people do the "If you don't agree with my opinion then you don't watch the sport" thing.

 

A 4.41 40 sounds fast enough to me. What's with the jail picture, and "I have killed two people" tear drop tattoos?

 

Nothing, he's a classy kid. Came from very humble beginnings -- his father died when he was a toddler, his mother was viciously assaulted 10 years later, leaving her disabled, and his cousin, also a Clemson player and his role model, had a failed suicide attempt. Also, he asked to be baptized in front of his teammates last year, and served as Sammy Watkins' mentor following his arrest.

He had nothing to do with the hotel scandal. He left hours before his roommate, and has told officials to look at the security tape to confirm his innocence. He's a stand-up guy, by all accounts.

 

This pick is great...




(J/K I actually like the pick =P)

 

0:42... DAMN.

 

Is the Clemson QB on the board? He looks good

 

Actually they do back up his theory. Actually his theory could be said about every receiver/QB. I can't think of any WR that catches over half his receptions past 15 yards.

 

Tajh Boyd -- returned for his senior year at Clemson. He's the defending ACC Player of the Year and will be at the front of the Heisman race this season.

Still need to pick up a speedster, unless we are relying on LeStar for that.

But DeAndre looks ready to contribute right away. He can block!

 

I LOL'd.

I hope we nickname him "scat".

 

Stool?

 

Looks like a promising player from that science vid.

Great pick Mauri!

 

Love this pick...feels like EVERYONE wanted the Texans to draft another receiver and they finally pulled the trigger.

To those ragging on his speed, I'd rather guys like Boldin who aren't true burners but are consistent and come down with the football. Arian Foster had a terrible 40 time but seemed to carve out a decent career running the football. It sucks sometimes to see him run through the tackles only to get caught 40 yards downfield but another RB would've never made it through the tackles to begin with....

 

Is anyone actually ragging on his speed?

 

F*** YOU, dear sir.

Here's proof you're a liar:

Come up with better arguments than that one.

 

That's still a guys name. LeShawn, LeMichael...

Unless you were going for the first male pro cheerleader then you're okay
