Who do the Texans take with the 26th pick in the 2012 Draft?

Doesn't it still go by record, or is the Super Bowl winner automatically last?

The Super Bowl winner is 32 and Super Bowl loser is 31.

The losers of the Conference Championship games select 29 and 30 based on record.

The losers of the Divisional playoff games select 25 -28 based record.

The losers of the Wild Card games select 21 - 24 based on record.

Teams that missed the the playoffs select 1 - 20 with worse record going first.

This assumes all 32 teams are eligible for a 1st round pick.
 
Per wiki, and yes it's right this time:
Teams that reached the playoffs the previous season are then slotted in the order in which they were eliminated as indicated in the table below. Within each tier, the slotting is determined as above (i.e. worst record picks first and the same tiebreakers apply).[57]

Non-playoff teams 1–20 (slotted by record)
Eliminated in Wild Card round 21–24
Eliminated in Divisional round 25–28
Eliminated in Conference Championships 29–30
Super Bowl losing team 31
Super Bowl champion 32
 
I hope they end up drafting these 3 of these 4 players even if they have to trade up to get them.

OL- Cordy Glenn, Brandon Washington.

DL - Josh Chapman

WR- Jordan White.
 
I did a poor job this season following the draft eligible players. Position-wise, I'm leaning towards the following (in no particular order):

OG/OT - I'm not entirely pleased with our pass pro on the right.
WR - Would love a studly #2 that soaks up knowledge from AJ.
CB - If a stud CB/DB is there, why not.
NT - I like Cody/Mitchell but if we can find the next Duane Brown at the NT position I'd like it.

As of now, I don't really think we have a DEFINITE NEED. I think there are areas where we can improve but I don't think we have a true legit weakness like we have in the past. I'm a firm believer in taking the best players available and getting the best talent for your team. That draft mindset paid off this season with all the injuries and new guys needing to step up.
 
Wolfe (JJ Watt clone)
Kuechly ( reminds me of zack Thomas )
Worthy ( a bigger Antonio Smith)
Those are my late first guys that you don't hear about much but are going to shoot up the draft board at the combine.
 
I think it all comes down to how Free Agency goes for us. We could potentially lose Myers, Brisiel and Mario, any of which will drastically change our needs. If Mario walks, OLB will need some depth, if we lose either olinemen we need to fill that hole ASAP. Once we know that we can really key in on who to pick. At this point I would go WRin the first assuming we retain those free agents.

Worthy would be a great pick for our 1 gap NT system. I wouldn't mind Brandon Thompson either, very similar to Worthy.

I'd love to get Kuechly but he will be long gone by the time we pick somewhere between 25 and 32, and I hope it's 32 :). Wolfe is flying under the radar right now but that will probably change after the Combine and Pro-Days. I'd love to get him too. He's listed as 6'5" and 302 lbs and has a "relentless motor." I think he would be a great fit at NT for us and let Mitchell slide over to DE and spot Smith and Watt.

Right now Wolfe is rated as a 2nd rounder but is climbing up the draft boards. The Texans would probably have to take him with their 1st pick because he won't be there for them in the 2nd. I just don't know if they will go defense in the 1st again with their need at WR. Smith/Kubes like to draft BPA at a position of need in the 1st. Brown and Cushing come to mind. A lot will depend on if Wade comes back as DC again and how much they want to draft on defense. I have a feeling this draft they go more heavily on offense since last year they focused on defense. JMO.
 
I would pay Brisiel and Myers because they are both good enough for the zone blocking scheme JMHO.
 
You heard it here first. Would mean Texans let Mario become a free agent, so they can re-sign Arian Foster to a multi-year million dollar contract.

Based upon today's results, the Texans will have the 26th selection in every round.
 
Depends on what we do with our FA's before the draft. If we re-sign Mario, I would not use the 1st rounder on the front 7. If we re-sign Myers, we don't need to take a lineman in the 1st either. I would go WR if we re-sign both those guys.

If we don't re-sign Mario, I would take a rush LB early, but still not in the 1st. If we don't re-sign Myers I would take an interior lineman in the 1st or 2nd round. Peter Konz is an option here in the 1st. I still think we should go WR regardless, but we could take one in the 2nd.

Alshon Jeffrey - WR, South Carolina
Kendall Wright - WR, Baylor
Peter Konz - C, Wisconsin
Billy Winn - DE, Boise State
Jerel Worthy - DT/DE, Michigan State
Mohamed Sanu - WR, Rutgers
 
Trade up 1st, 3rd, 6th

1. Alshon Jeffries
2. Cliff Harris
4. Chris Gallipso
5. Eric Page
7. Baptiste
 
Jordan White is my sleeper pick at WR this year. I'm a fan of Jones, but he could be had in the 2nd IMO.

And no way in hell I touch Cliff Harris. There are some guys who are not worth the headache regardless of talent. He's one of them.
 
I'm a risk taker.

If you miss he wont be worse than Jacoby.

If you hit, you get Boldin with better speed.

Risk/Reward

Tell me more about Harris?

Speeding tickets ? What 23 yr old hasn't driven too fast?

Smoking pot? LOL
 
We'll have FA prior to the draft this year .... No lockout so things go back to normal.

What they do in the draft is predicated by what they do in FA with their own players as well as shoring up WR and possibly RG.


I really wonder what they do with MW .... and how they get Foster taken care of. I could see a couple cuts freeing up a bit of space .... Leinart and J.Jones as I said weeks ago , that free's up ~$6m.

Gotta answer those questions before we can really guess where they go in the draft.

Think about it guys...... don't sign Mario, this becomes our top priority.

Forget about that sexy WR..... forget about that dominant OG....

Think DL....... again.

You also have to take into account the depth of the Draft. If we can get a WR in the second just as good as the guy we get at 26, but the only way we get a stud OG is to pull the trigger.... I want that OG.

It depends on how many of the top WR's are left on the board at the time and how many of the top OG's are left as well, but I agree with this sentiment.

1. Cordy Glen-OG
2. Marvin McNutt-WR or Tommy Streeter-WR

or

1. Dwight Jones-WR
2. Kevin Zeitler-OG

Cliff Harris is a CB in the mold of Deon Sanders.

An extraordinary talent, both at CB and at returner. He can blanket a man step for step with his elite agility, speed and acceleration, and can intercept passes with little difficulty.

However, he is like Sanders in the fact that he is not a willing tackler. And even when he does go in for the tackle, it is a very weak with poor form. As with other players who focus on getting interceptions, I have noticed that he sometimes gets caught looking in the backfield. He can be beat on double moves, PA, etc.

In terms of off the field issues, Harris was booted from the team due to accumulating multiple offenses throughout his career. The general pattern seems to be driving too fast (and not wearing a seat belt, and being uninsured), and marijuana.

In short, I still take him, so long as it is 4th round or lower. 4th round picks rarely amount to anything, and considering the Texans' needs, Harris is worth chancing a pick on.

No doubt in my mind that we will pick Mohamed Sanu with the 26th overall pick. He is 6-3, amazing hands, and loves to block down field. If he has a great 40 time at the combine we might miss out on him but other than that he is perfect along side AJ. With all that said the best part he is a classy guy who is very intelligent.

Kendall Wright, WR/KR, Baylor

WR2 and our new punt returner.

This time a million!!! I doubt he falls to us, but I've seen every one of his games and he's absolutely uncoverable.. Will test through the roof at the combine and would be perfect for us.

Guys like Sigmund Bloom and LZ have been saying that some teams do/will have Wright ahead of Blackmon on their boards. Lots can change between now and then, but it's not looking likely that he will be available anywhere near where we pick.
 
1. If David DeCastro fell because he was a guard , I'd pick him .

2. Kendall Wright ... proven WR and an explosive weapon .

I guess Jones or Sanu if these guys aren't there .

I'd be tempted to take Kevin Zeitler at 26 if one of the following WR's wasnt available - K.Wright , Dwight Jones or Alshon Jeffery.
I know some might think its a reach but he's the #2 OG on the board and projected to go no later than the top of round two.

A lot depends upon what they do in FA .... with MW and the WR position.

I would draft another shutdown CB and maybe two receivers.

Way easier said then done, especially from the 26th spot.

On another note, I'd rather go after a WR in rounds 2 or 3. If Mario goes depth will be needed at OLB and if by some miracle Upshaw gets past the Steelers I'd take him over any of the WRs of CBs who might still be on the board.

So you like Zeitler better than Decastro ? I think Brown , Myer , and Winston are really good . Briesel is not bad but the other two guys not so much . You get a top notch guard and it insures your running game . The Texans made to the 2nd round with a 3rd string QB because of the OL and Foster .

The Pats and Saints have proven your offensive weapons can come in the 6'6 variety . I would look to get more mismatches in the passing game .

That would be a miracle .... He might be gone in the top dozen picks.
