3rd round pick (68th overall) WR DeVier Posey

[Texansfan713]

Reach IMO

According to Shefter , we are trying to trade Jacoby.

As I said in another thread... smooth, great routes, attacks the ball. During his shortened Senior year he started to flash consistent hands and YAC ability as well. His "character" concerns stem from taking tattoos.

I don't see Dre Kirkpatrick being hit with character concerns even though it's pretty obvious his family took money and bought a brand new Cadillac CTS.



This was before his Junior year, BTW.

I don't see how we didn't pick Sanu, but on the radio they said this was Kubiak's 'guy' and they wernt passing him up. Jacoby will be gone and Lestar and Posey will behind Walter

When Brandon Thompson, Mohamed Sanu, and Bobby Massie were all available, then this was a bad pick.

I don't like the pick, but I think we can all agree that he could be had later is a baseless assertion. We don't know that. We know how teams have their boards. We can point to the big boards out there but time and time again we see people going before they were projected and others much later. Bobby Massie, projected as a late 1st or high 2nd rounder, is still on the board. We simply don't know.

The "pundits" really just start to fall into line with what everyone else thinks. Teams actually rate them the way they think because they just don't know what other teams will do. And you don't want to lose your guy because someone else saw what you did.

Again I don't like the pick, and I really don't like that the reports are that it was Kubiak alone pushing for him, but past that I really can't say anything.

I'm listening to his 610 interview right now... this is fascinating. The kid is really impressing me right now. Hopefully his play on the field is as good as his interviewing skills/personality.

I've been searching for an hour and haven't found much to like about this pick, except that apparently he might be a decent blocker and has some skills downfield if he actually catches a ball (aka Jacoby). Plenty of scuttlebutt about him being a 2nd rounder if he had played more than 2 games this year, but A&M was looking at Fuller, Judie, and Gray as 1st, 2nd rounders coming into this year and we know how that turned out.

That better be one hell of a 4th rounder as the value gap between Randle and this guy seems to be massive and that's saying a lot since I didn't like him either. The guy reads like a nightmare with serious concerns about his ability to separate, slow off the line, plays scared - gator arms, in addition to the character concerns (which are more than tattoo's folks - he took even more cash AFTER the initial scandal and drew 5 more games for essentially thumbing his nose at the NCAA - fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!).

Most concerning is reading about the Senior Bowl where he gave the impression that if you don't put it exactly in his breadbasket he can't adjust, doesn't use his hands, and often just quits on balls. Sounds like Jeff Fuller without the production or upside. Also sounds like a terrible fit for Schaub who's accuracy slipped a bit last year and can be a bit tempermental when receivers make him look bad. There have been far too many situations in the past 2 seasons where Schaub hit receivers in the hands with balls in critical situations and the receivers couldn't make a play and this sounds like more of the same unreliable crap without even the upside of him being a burner. Again, I can almost live with a boom or bust pick like this with one of the 3 4th rounders, but what the heck was the hurry so high in the 3rd?

This is EXACTLY why Kubiak's role in the draft was being minimized. Just when we are remaking the team with tough, proven, high motor players who also bring leadership, Kubiak reaches for a guy that clearly already has the makings of a guy who could be a paycheck player, has all but been called out as a wuss, and seems like a QBs worst nightmare instead of a security blanket.

My wish at this point is that we grab a reliable slot receiver with speed (aka Chris Givens) in the 4th to balance this reach.

Interesting to see the Texans reach a little for Posey. He is a good talent, but I think he would be available in the 4th round. Not sure how he is that much better than similar sized receivers McNutt or Toon, either.

They could have taken DT like Brandon Thompson in the 3rd and still got a similar WR in the 4th, so its kind of a head scratcher.

This dude is way better than Sanu. A few draft pundits fell in love with him because he has a great body and looks good in pads and was productive. But he didn't have any catches over 20 yards... all year. He's slow, stiff and isn't a natural receiver. He's gonna flame out in a few years.

He reminds me of a faster Kevin Walter. I really like this pick.
