    Surprised this thread hasn't been made yet.

    Having a bit of a RB conundrum this week. Pick one for me to start. (PPR)

    David Montgomery @ :Raiders:

    Melvin Gordon vs. :Broncos:

    Wayne Gallman vs. :Vikings:

    Edit: Walterfootball has Montgomery ranked the highest, but I'm leaning Gallman for some reason. Also want to see what Gordon looks like in-game for a week before starting him.

    Former Titans and Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth posted on Instagram that his kidneys have failed him, and he is in dire need of a transplant donor.

    Haynesworth badly needs someone to donate a kidney after his finally failed him on July 7. He's been battling kidney disease for a few years now, and it's just the latest in unfortunate medical events for the big man. He suffered a brain aneurysm a few years back. Haynesworth is just 38 years old and last played in 2011. It's too soon for his body to be breaking down like this. "If you are interested in giving this precious gift, please call Vanderbilt at 615-936-0695 and hit option 2," Haynesworth wrote. "GOD BLESS. Thank you for your prayers." We hope Haynesworth gets the help he badly needs.

    This means one of two things...

    1. Texans value a former member of their scouting department Mike Maccagnan more than Gaine. Also been linked to Joe Douglas, Will McClay, Nick Caserio, and Monti Ossenfort.

    2. This is a full-blown power play for Bill O'Brien to assume control as head coach and GM ala Bill Belichick.

    Either way, the timing is dogshit terrible and I'm leaning toward it being the latter more than the former. (Which I am not a fan of) I actually thought Gaine was a good GM and did well with the hand he was dealt. (I liked him over Rick Smith)

    It's just the evidence shows that O'Brien clearly doesn't get along with his GMs, and quite frankly I don't think he's a good enough coach to make these demands...

    Obviously you can't predict the future, but this is why teams are usually hesitant to pay RBs. Even the elite ones, because it's such a high injury risk position that really wears down the body.

    Hopefully Gurley doesn't just completely fall off a cliff any time soon and the Rams can get the most of that contract extension, so it's a win-win for both parties.

    Seeing all those big names tumbling down the board was something else. Then the Eagles traded and I'm like Oh no...not Dillard.

    But I'm thinking, well, Murphy and Taylor are still there so no biggie.

    They took Dillard and we took Howard. Phark.

    All I can say is he better work out or Gaine is gonna look like an idiot.

    I liked the Scharping, Omenuhi pick and also Gillaspia, but thought he coulda fallen off to UDFA.

    It's sad when you are reduced to being excited about Higdon and Dixon.

    Back to the drawing board.

    A lot of pundits are panning the Texans draft, so I'm convinced this might be their best draft ever! :yao:

    In all seriousness, yeah it sucked to see the Iggles snipe Dillard one pick before the Texans, but supposedly the Ravens called the Texans to counter and they refused.

    Everyone is going to say the Texans panicked/reached on Howard, and that may be true. Who knows? People said the same in '08 when they drafted Duane Brown. At the end of the day I'm just glad they addressed their biggest needs with four of their seven picks. (OT and CB)

    Warring seems like an athletic freak that had to be a BPA pick in the 3rd, considering they drafted two TEs last year. When they drafted Omenihu in the 5th, my jaw dropped. I honestly thought he had already been taken on Day 2. He should push for d-line rotational snaps even in his rookie year.

    I understand the Gillaspia pick as well. O'Brien's old-school pound the rock offense hasn't been the same since Jay Prosch was released. Plus he'll largely contribute on STs. Seems like Bryan Braman 2.0.

    Long story short, I just want to see these guys on the field before I or the media condemn them. From a positional needs perspective, Gaine hit 'em all in my opinion.

    I see two scenarios for my Texans...

    1. Trade up: If they do this, it will be for one of the three top o-linemen. (Taylor, Dillard, Williams)

    2. Stay put: At #23 the hope is probably that Ford falls into their lap. (possible, but not likely) If he's gone it's probably going to be either Bradbury or Risner. Lindstrom could be a darkhorse pick.

    Cornerback is another huge need for this team, but I feel like there's still going to be a lot of value at that position in the 2nd round.
