    About an hour to go. The East coasters never say Noon ET. They assume it. Arrogant pricks. It's like the world doesn't exist outside of their utopian hell on Earth.

    My top three (based on others as clueless as me) is:

    1. Adetomiwa Adebawore DL
    2. Kellee Ringo CB
    3. Blake Freeland OT


    I want 2 of these three with 4-104 and 4-105. Of course this is without any clue about team chemistry, the player's attitude, injury risk or the scheme fit.

    Later, with the 7-259, I want the player who is injured and out for 2023 (Vorhees) and see if we can stash him on some kind of reserve. I admit I don't know how it works in the NFL.

    Given the value left at the position, the Texans' needs and the players the Texans visited with, I hope one of these next two picks is going to be a defensive back. Given that all four players selected have been guys they met with, I have to think it'll be one of the guys on JR's list above. Maybe Rush or Antonio Johnson?

    Why did Ringo drop so bad from before the season to now?

    can’t be all Marvin Harrison Jr

    There's an Alabama linebacker still sitting there. Demeco loves those Alabama linebackers.

    I wouldn’t hate a similar trade for the Texans. Then package a couple of the 6th to move up for another 5th. Would leave us with 2 4ths, 2 5ths and one in the 6th and 7th.

    Funny that list is missing te Z. Kuntz.
    Obviously a typo.


    That's okay, pff has NT Brodric Martin on their best available list and he's ALREADY been drafted! (shame too I liked him as a DJ Reader type sleeper)
