    You can spoiler it next time

    or whip out some html instead of the IMG bbcode tag

    1) Houston Texans
    » Round 1: (No. 21 overall) Will Fuller, WR.
    » Round 2: (50) Nick Martin, OG.
    » Round 3: (85) Braxton Miller, WR.
    » Round 4: (119) Tyler Ervin, RB.
    » Round 5: (159) K.J. Dillon, S; (166) D.J. Reader, NT.

    Hats off to Rick Smith and Bill O'Brien for supplying their new franchise quarterback (free-agent addition Brock Osweiler) with enough weapons for him to succeed as a playmaker. The Texans upgraded their speed and big-play potential on the perimeter with the additions of Will Fuller and Braxton Miller. Each pass catcher displays the burst and acceleration to run past defenders on vertical routes, yet both are also crafty catch-and-run specialists capable of turning short passes into big gains. Tyler Ervin gives the team another explosive weapon out of the backfield and adds some sizzle to the return game. On defense, the Texans picked up a pair of intriguing prospects (K.J. Dillon and D.J. Reader) with the potential to carve out roles as rotational players. GRADE: A+

    First A+ I've seen.

    Not only was it an A+, but there was only one other A+, the Jags. Honestly, as much as I hate to admit it, our division did have the best draft of all divisions IMO.

    One thing I didnt like, in his grading of the Broncos draft (an A- I believe he said) he talked about Paxton Lynch as an UPGRADE to Bosweiler.. I really hope that is not the case and Elway just starts laughing behind his desk.

    Not only an A+, but the best draft, with Jacksonville at 2.

    Really, optimism and doing research is the best part of this time of season. We had a great draft as far as we know. Don't be a jackhole.

    What good are report cards until your kids get a job in the real world, how good will your marriage be until you spend at least a few years living together first.

    These guys have a history and body of work to examine, just don't get your point.

    The Titans could have walked away with the Laremy Tunsil and Jaylon Smith with their first two picks and still had all those picks from trading back.

    Conklin and Dodd might be really good, but Tunsil and Smith could have been superstars.

    I'd be so pissed if I was a Titans fan

    I'm sorry. It still stings a bit. Not as much as before. I just gotta say one more time. They really should have picked Doctson. That one pick would have given them an A.

    That is all.
