1 Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida ( they claim this is new, but the explanations have not changed for weeks)
33 Carl Bradford, DE/OLB, Arizona State
Quote:
The Texans would kill two stones with one bird with this pick, as Emmitt would say. They need to upgrade their pass rush and find some help at inside linebacker. Carl Bradford would satisfy the former, which would allow Brooks Reed to move inside.

Pick change; previously Lamarcus Joyner, CB/S

As mentioned earlier, the right tackle position was a huge problem area for the Texans. They'll have to find an upgrade in Rounds 2-4.

97 Jaylen Watkins, CB, Florida

There are a few areas the Texans need to address outside of the quarterback position. They need to find a new right tackle, upgrade the outside linebacker position and acquire a better nickel.
Pick change; previously Trevor Reilly, DE/OLB

129 Storm Johnson, RB, Central Florida

The Texans will be searching for a backup running back this offseason with Ben Tate bound to sign elsewhere.
Pick change; previously Jerick McKinnon, RB

My alternative: Has a trade down with Cleveland:
4 Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
26 Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
33 Xavier Su'a-Filo, G, UCLA
65 Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson
97 Daniel McCullers, NT, Tennessee
129 Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia
OK I am having a little fun drafting Clemson's QB and WR and giving Hopkins some familiar faces to play with.
No way in hell do I do the mock I just did. What I really would be more inclined to do with a trade down.
4 Khalil Mack, DE/OLB, Buffalo
26 Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
33 Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Eastern Illinois
65 Cameron Fleming, OT, Stanford
97 Daniel McCullers, NT, Tennessee
129 Lamin Barrow, ILB, LSU
