Default Last thought on the draft for the Texans in the 1st Round

"Next up is the 21st pick for Seattle, who has just paid their
QB, Russell Wilson, and traded away their DE, Frank Clark.
They could choose to protect Wilson with an offensive tackle,
or fortify the defense with an end like Montez Sweat. However,
the Seahawks are lacking in draft picks and have many holes to
fill. So, with that, the Packers give up the 30th pick and two
fourth-round picks to move up to the 21st. Who will the new
regime take? Could this be a weapon for Aaron Rodgers,
perhaps a blind-side protector at left tackle? The Packers select
... Darnell Savage. The Texans should have offered number 23
for a third- and a fourth-round pick, just to guarantee Andre
Dillard’s services, but they may be keeping their fingers
crossed that he continues to fall.
The Texans let out a huge sigh of relief. Potentially, the
Packers could have traded up ahead of Houston at number 23
to take one of the best offensive linemen in the draft. However,
the Packers were more concerned about the Eagles taking
Darnell Savage before he fell to number 30.
The Eagles trade up with the Ravens, giving up a fourth
and sixth rounder in the process. The experts claim that the
Eagles are wanting to find their running back, but the offensive
tackle could be in play here. Taylor and Dillard are the two top
LTs available. Now that Savage is off the board, perhaps the
Eagles are looking for help at defensive back. With the number
22 pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select
… Andre Dillard.
The Texans are up next at number 23, and they should be
disappointed that Dillard is off the board right now. However,
Jawaan Taylor and Cody Ford are still available for the taking.
My top picks on the big board are Jawaan Taylor, Deandre
Baker, Greedy Williams, Byron Murphy, Montez Sweat, D.K.
Metcalf, and Cody Ford. The Texans should take Taylor, but I
could also understand taking a CB at this spot. Again, it is a
punch in the gut for the Texans to see Dillard drafted one pick
before they were on the spot. The Houston Texans select Tytus
Howard from Alabama State. He is 6’5”, 322 pounds, and
showed well at the Senior Bowl. He has potential, but I
considered him a second-round draft pick. I find it very
interesting that Jawaan Taylor is still on the board at this point,
when he was considered a top-three OT in this draft. Yet the
tackle from Alabama State is drafted before Taylor, who
played in the SEC."
