Getting Closer to Draft Weekend Mock

[bikerack]

Here is the one I just did...made one small trade (moving further back in the 3rd to pick up a 4th).

23: R1P23 DL RASHAN GARY MICHIGAN - BPA. He's consistently ranked in the top 10 prospects for the draft and I wasn't going to pass him up. He can play both interior and edge DL.

54: R2P22 OT GREG LITTLE OLE MISS - Turns out passing on OL and CB in the 1st doesn't hurt too much this time. I also agree that Little's college experience in the SEC is a plus.

55: R2P23 CB TRAYVON MULLEN CLEMSON - One of the 2nd tier CBs from a top program lasts until the end of the 2nd.

93: R3P29 S TAYLOR RAPP WASHINGTON - Very versatile safety. UW utilized him all over the field.

105: R4P3 RB DARRELL HENDERSON MEMPHIS - Unless it is all smoke, the Texans haven't been hiding the fact that they are interested in drafting a RB. They've also met with Henderson a couple of times.

161: R5P23 G BEN POWERS OKLAHOMA - Best OG available at this point in the mock. 6'4" and 315+

195: R6P22 WR HUNTER RENFROW CLEMSON - like everyone else, I like him

220: R7P6 CB IMAN MARSHALL USC - best DB available but insert whoever would make the best special teamer here.

I used the newly-published "On the Clock Composite" board. I can seemingly always trade down from 2-23 to 2-26 and pick up Dallas' 4-26 which gives us a choice in every round. Otherwise, I made no trades:

23: R1P23 OT CODY FORD, OKLAHOMA

I actually had a wealth of OL choices, which is unusual. Even though Andre Dillard is my OT preference, I chose Cody Ford because he has LT potential but is more versatile.

54: R2P22 OT KALEB MCGARY, WASHINGTON

McGary is a LT prospect who has been sneaking into the bottom of the first round in some mocks. Either way, the LT issue should now be considered resolved.

58: R2P26 CB JUSTIN LAYNE, MICHIGAN ST.

JoeJuan was still available but I like Layne better.

86: R3P22 TE JACE STERNBERGER, TEXAS A&M

Sternberger has deep-middle potential. I was disappointed with the choices here.

128: R4P26 WR HUNTER RENFROW, CLEMSON

No need to go over this again.

161: R5P23 RB MYLES GASKIN, WASHINGTON

I felt safe when the fifth round started but there was a "run" and I missed out on Love and my other choice, Benny Snell. Gaskin was the last guy I like at that point.

195: R6P22 LB JOSIAH TAUAEFA, UT-SAN ANTONIO

All-around athlete who should be great at special teams, if nothing else.

220: R7P6 DL RICKY WALKER, VIRGINIA TECH

Finally, some added beef for the d-line.

A solid OL prospect that should be a long term starter, but I see him as more of a OG. Now the Texans could use a couple of studs in the middle, and Ford and Ranking on paper look like fixes for both guards. and I think you might have fixed the OLT with your next pick

i do not think I am the DB expert, so I'm game for anyone who is an upgrade.

161: R5P23 RB MYLES GASKIN, WASHINGTON

I felt safe when the fifth round started but there was a "run" and I missed out on Love and my other choice, Benny Snell. Gaskin was the last guy I like at that point. That is why I tend to take Love before the 5th round, I don't see him making it to the Texans 5th round pick. Then I worry I need a healthy body to fill in.

I like seeing the different options.
