Nice list and thank you for spending the time to compile the rankings. I like most of rankings, but I know you will be adjusting this as we get closer to the draft.

[Roy P]

As I am reviewing tape, mocking, comparing Combine measurables the list will get tweaked. I may warm up to the idea of adding players to the list or removing if I don't like the perceived value. Currently I am considering Darron Lee and Jaylon Smith. Yet, not sure I want to draft an ILB to replace Cushing with a 1st round pick. Now, if one of them runs a 4.47 and Benches 30 times, I might change my mind. I am all over the place on Dak Prescott. I wouldn't be opposed to taking him at #22, but if I'm the only one who feels like that and I could get him in the 3rd round after selecting the best TE and RB to go with him, that would be foolish. So, I need to establish his value. I also need to determine if Lynch or Cook would be an upgrade over Savage next season.

When I looked at your list I was surprised you had Dak at 26. IMO the QB positions is so important, and we need a solid guy at that position. So if you think Dak is the guy, you have to rate him above some of the other positions/players you have ranked above him.

And as you state, if you (or the Texans) are the only team ranking him that high, who are you missing out on?

I am torn also. One thing I do know right now, I am not on the Hackenberg in the 2nd round bandwagon. If he falls far enough maybe, but the young man has showed very little the last two years. And I am tired of seeing mocks with him in the 2nd and Ezekiel Elliott in the 1st.

I notice you don't have Ezekiel Elliott on your list, what are your misgivings with him?

[Roy P]

I'm probably going to rank Dak Prescott high enough to select in the 2nd round. The problem is that I really want to take Kenneth Dixon too. I'm not sure that I can have both. I don't like the idea of drafting a RB in the 1st round unless his name is Adrian Peterson. I got burned on Melvin Gordon last year. The only reason I'm willing to spend a 2nd round pick on Dixon is because he has the size and speed to be an every-down back and he can catch passes out of the backfield. If I don't get him, I'll need to draft 2 RBs to replace Arian Foster. Maybe Aaron Green and Jonathan Williams. I don't have Elliott or Henry on my list because I feel like they are overweight and overvalued. Coming from those offenses behind those Offensive Lines, they had huge holes to run through. Hard to scout the vision and shiftiness of a RB who has 4 yards before a defender is close to tackle him.

I say this every year it seems, but if I could trade down and pick up another 3rd and 4th round pick I would be very happy.

I agree with trying to get both these guys.

My problem is in knowing this is a deep defensive draft and we are needing to go offense. The deepest are is DL especially 1st round DL.

There are NT and DE types that would help the defense out.
