I will be there with a friend of mine. I'll probably head up there around 4:30 and try to be there around 5ish. I just hope it'll be entertaining enough to make me sit all the way til the 9pm area to see the Texans pick.
I don't think Earl Thomas will be there, but he'd be nice. With him and Pollard in the back there, we would be set.
Will someone who has ESPN Insider paste Mel Kiper and Todd McShay's mock drafts in this thread? I like to follow along as the picks are announced and track how the so called "experts" are doing, however I can't seem to find the ESPN Insider protected info on the interweb. Thanks!
I can't stand Kiper. He's a know it all. Kinda similar to Bilas in this regard. I love it when Kiper and Mcshay go at it.
Just like last year I noticed there is a picture of Mario on the stage at Radio City Music Hall. When the draft pick has his picture taken with Goodell, Mario will be in the background.
If kyle wilson or dan williams is there along with spiller, i would take those 2 in front of him. Their run issues are line problems vs rb problems. Defensively, they need playmakers. We watched how a playmaker like cushing and when pollard entered how much better the defense performed. Wilson is the truth and so is wilson. This is a deep draft for dt's though, so a guy like linvale joseph in the 2nd rd can offset getting williams. Missing on kyle wilson and we're talking ghee. Miss on spiller, we're talking ben tate whom i love anyway.
Me and Moes agree completely, but it is a draft so who knows what kind of craziness will occur; I'll be watching!
I'm going to vomit if the Texans draft a tight end. We have plenty on the roster already, no need for more. Mike Mayock will release his mock draft at 6:15 on NFL Network. His is the one I like to follow. Last year he got 10 out of the 32 correct. That's considered pretty good. Compare that to Kiper who got 8 correct and McShay who got something like 5 or 6 correct. I mentioned in the offseason thread last week that I think the Texans will pick between 8:35 and 8:50 tonight. My prediction is at 8:42pm. I'm giving myself plus/minus ~7 minutes buffer.
Matthews looks solid. He is comparable to a L.T. in punch it in ability coming out out college, but not game breaking quick, but a good balance of good enough speed, power and excellent change of direction ability (field vision)...A good corner can be gotten on day 2...It's a tough choice though...If Haden or Thomas is avail. on day 1, how could you pass? Should be fun to see this unfold...
Adam_Schefter: Can't decide if it's real -- guess we'll see soon enough -- but there are people who believe Cleveland will take CB Kyle Wilson at No. 7.
Mort from ESPN just said the Eggles are trying to jump from #24 to #12. Also they're trying to trade the pick they got from the Skins.
Man there is SO much action on Tebow right now that the Texans should listen to offers BIG TIME from teams trying to move into the bottom half of the 1st rd.
