Thanks. And it's like another fellow Aggie back, Mike Goodson, being stuck behind 2 interchangeable backs. Goodson is finally out from under Stewart and Williams, but now is stuck behind McFadden. Currently the only other RB on the Texans' roster is Javarris Williams, who hasn't carried the ball since 2009 and has a career statline of 6 carries for 6 yards. They have inquired about bringing Derrick Ward back, but only as a mentor. So even then, they would have a pretty shallow backfield depth wise. Gray would be a potential true backup to Foster, rather than a different style like Tate. So if Foster goes down, Gray assumes a similar role in a rotation with Tate. He's got good hands a 3rd back, not that Foster would be taken off the field for him, and can contribute as a returner.
Dwight Jones right now is a 5th round draft pick, his stock has fallen a lot. Many people have called him very lazy and doesnt possess a good work ethic plus he had a bad Senior Bowl, so many people are down on him. He certainly has potential and his skill set isnt too far off from what was once projected but like I said he is a 5th round prospect at this point. Not saying it was a bad pick btw, because I was strongly considering him, but I have many questions about him and it made me balk at drafting the kid.
I see what you mean. To add, hes a good prospect to groom for a few years to become Fosters permanent backup since I am assuming after 2013 (if he keeps up what he's doing) Tate will be looking for a nice chunk of change. Planning for the future is always smart, especially for a team this young.
Two of my sleepers of the board in Rishaw and Hicks although I don't see the Steelers going with Johnson due to his character issues. That being said CA of PA is in their backyard so they have the ability to do the research on him probably more so then any other franchise. Hicks is an interesting story, I thought the Jets drafted a guy a few years ago that went to school in Canada by way of a US school. Was he a running back maybe?
Yep, I can't see them keeping him with Foster's contract. I'm still not fully convinced they have fully ruled out trading him. It's easy to say it now, but what if come draft day Tate is needed as tradebait to move up to select someone the Texans really want? I'd put it under 10% possibility, but you never know who is lying and who is being honest publicly. And it's not like you have to have completely different styles in a rotation, the 49ers have twice drafted similar skillset backs to Frank Gore in Glen Coffee and Kendall Hunter.
I would offer but I think they'll come up early in the morning on the left coast so I'd just be like one of those other guys. I'll tell you what, I'll take the Jags and PM you the pick tonight before I end the night.
Yeah there were a couple of guys at positions not exactly a need for the Saints that I almost went with, but Judie in that spot was too good of a value.
You can do the Cards or send someone their board. I just wanted to get those picks in rather than wait. No problem with that, I am making a bit too many of these picks lol. Wanna finish up my Jags board up though.
I don't really see rishaw's problems dismaying the steelers. Like you said he is I. The steelers backyard and I'm sure if they are interested they will do their homework. When it comes to guys with character issues in college, I'm much much more wary of guys who play high profile positions rather than a not so glamorous one like guard. That's just me though.

Guys.... JohnnythaJet, Bakermaker & Green Hurricane have my Rams & Eagles' Boards. I'll be back around 6 PM Sat Night. I'll check the forum around 6 AM Sat morning.
Good pick CodeGreen. Hilton was that WR I was referring to. Think he can be a 4th round WR. Good grab late in round 5.
WW can vouch, everytime I sent him my board from round 3 on Hilton was on it, was really hoping he'd have fallen a few more picks.
I love that Hilton pick, he's a heck of a player. If I hadn't taken Wright with my earlier WR pick with Cinci he'd be a Bengal right now. Needed someone to play outside, whereas he and Wright both would be slot guys in 3 wr sets. Good work Code.
I should be around for a little while so I can help out as need be. I'm gonna try and catch up with the team selections as I think we may have a few guys making picks for teams they are not the GM of.
