I'm in agreement with most of what I have read here. If I became the GM for the Texans and wanted to hire some advisors, I would have to take a serious look at some of the people who post here. From my perspective, the 2 QBs who I would move up to #10 to draft are Goff or Wentz. However, it seems plausible that neither will be available. Lynch reminds me of the guy we have on the roster already, Savage. Cook is a hothead that likes himself too much. Not sure why he didn't want to play in Mobile, but he comes off as the kind of kid to be the next Ryan Leaf. So, the guy I want to draft is Dak Prescott. The question becomes when do I pull the trigger. At #22, I want the biggest impact player at a position of need. That points me to TE Hunter Henry. This Offense needs a TE in the mold of Rob Gronkowski, and since that is nearly impossible to find, you get the closest facsimile. In the 2nd round, I take a good hard look at RB Kenneth Dixon and hope Prescott is still available when I pick in the 3rd round. I'm not comparing Dixon to LT or Marshall Faulk, but to me he is a Matt Forte clone. You could have your every-down RB, or wait and select a 3rd down back like Kenyan Drake (who improves the Special Teams) or Aaron Green and then sign a UDFA like Auburn RB Peyton Barber or USC RB Tre Madden to be the short-yardage guy. I'm pleased with the development of Jaelen Strong, but wouldn't be opposed to adding another WR like Mich St Aaron Burbridge or SE Missouri St Paul McRoberts. Depending on what is available, I might draft 2 QBs if Jacoby Brisset of NC St was still there in the 6th round just to stash on the Practice Squad.

The QB position must be addressed. Hoyer must go and Savage must stay. If I don't trade up for Goff/Wentz, I inquire about the packages needed to trade for Jimmy Garoppolo of the Patriots or Ryan Nassib of the Giants. If those prices are too high, I sign Drew Stanton. He is serviceable and is the bridge until Prescott is ready and insurance if Savage is not.
