150 Jeff Owens DT Georgia
187 Kam Chancellor S Virginia Tech
197 Adam Ulatoski OT Texas
227 Kevin Matthews OC Texas A&M
Anytime we can get Dan Williams and Devin McCourty without any trades, I'm a little skeptical. Sort of like when we were drafting Williams and Weatherspoon. However, I'll play along and see what my draft board yields...

20. DT Dan Williams
51. CB Devin McCourty
81. OG John Jerry
118. RB Ben Tate

At this point, I could care less what happens. I'm so freakin' happy I must be dreaming.

150. DE Daniel Te'o-Nesheim
187. CB Alterraun Verner
197. S Robert Johnson
227. RB Andre Anderson

Who knew that the way to improve the running game included adding Ben & Jerry

I can see it now! We'll call it the ice cream offense and our new cheer will be "You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!!!"

Sporting News has a 7 round Mock

they have us taking

1. CJ Spiller RB
Texans officials would be giddy if Spiller were to slip this far and would waste no time drafting him. Fresno State RB Ryan Mathews is the fallback option.
2. Perrish Cox CB
The Texans need a cornerback after losing Dunta Robinson. Cox likely would have been a first-round pick if not for concerns about his off-field behavior.
3. Linval Joseph DT
4. Darrell Stuckey S
5. Zane Beadles G
6. John Estes C
6. Cory Jackson FB
7. Trindon Holliday WR

My Cherry Pick is:

20 C.J. Spiller RB Clemson unless I can trade down, not many option here.
51 Kareem Jackson CB
81 Linval Joseph DT East Carolina
118 Ben Tate RB Auburn
150 Torrell Troup DT UCF
187 Akwasi Owusu-Ansah S Indiana (PA)
197 Andre Anderson RB Tulane
227 John Skelton QB Fordham

This is one of the worse draft boards I have seen. IMO No way Skelton is a 7th rounder, the late 1st sucks and the early 2nd is loaded. Dan Williams is there 85 best player....
John Skelton QB Fordham

I agree, but that is what makes it a horse race. We will know shortly !!

Using the original Draftsite.com mock which appears to be updated to include recent trades, shows the Texans with:

1. 20: Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
2. 51: Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
3. 81: Dexter McCluster, RB, Ole Miss
4. 118: Mitch Petrus, OG, Arkansas
5. 150: Andre Roberts, WR, The Citadel
6. 187: Kam Chancellor, S, Virginia Tech (fulfilling our Va Tech draft quota)
6. 197: Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky
7. 227: Zac Robinson, QB, Oklahoma St.

Not having done as much study as usual, here's my cherry pick:

1. 20: Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno St.
2. 51: Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama
3. 81: Mike Johnson, OG, Alabama
4. 118: Perrish Cox, CB, Oklahoma St. (bet he goes earlier than this)
5. 150: Corey Peters, DT, Kentucky
6. 187: Andre Dixon, RB, Connecticut
6. 197: Justin Cole, DE, San Jose St.
7. 227: Kevin Matthews, C, Texas A&M

6. 197: Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky
7. 227: Zac Robinson, QB, Oklahoma St.

Would you be willing to trade out of the 1st for say Denver's #43 and #45? We than can go
43 Devin McCourty CB Rutgers
45 Nate Allen S South Florida
51 Linval Joseph* DT East Carolina
81 Lamarr Houston DT Texas
118 Ben Tate RB Auborn

Defense goes off the chart, your back end gets a lot tougher and your DL jumps up in it's ability to move the pocket, and disrupt the run. OL is a still an issue, unless you go early.

And/or would you be willing to trade next years 1st for Philly's 2nd round pick # 37 and select someone like Jonathan Dwyer RB Georgia Tech, who is rumored to be on the Texans radar?

I used walterfootball.com since they updated their mock today(4/15) and extented it to 6 rounds. They have us taking:

20. Earl Thomas FS (don't think he'll be around)
51. Ben Tate RB ( look familiar)
81. Amari Spievey CB
118. D'Anthony Smith DT
150. Blair White WR
187. Patrick Stoudamire CB
197. Alex Daniels DE

In this scenario I have the Texans trading their 20th pick for Cleveland's 2nd (38) and two out of their three third rounders (71 and 85). Holmgren knows how to be successful in this league and keep draft analysts guessing. He does it again this year by selecting Clausen at 7 without a doubt, but then the obvious qusetion becomes -who's he gonna throw it to? That's where we come in and select Demaryius Thomas for them, a potential number one. This also helps Kubiak/Smith immensely, he knows the quality depth this draft has in the early to middle rounds. Everyone wins with this trade. I have us selecting:

38. Kareem Jackson CB
51. Lamarr Houston DT
71. Jamar Chaney OLB
81. Amari Spievey CB
85. Jonathan Dwyer RB
118. Myron Lewis FS
150. Trindon Holliday PR/RB
187. Sergio Render OG
197. Alex Daniels DE

Since I've sworn to take Ben Tate at #51 regardless of who is available, this is what I got.

20 LB Sean Weatherspoon
51 RB Ben Tate
81 OG John Jerry
118 DT Lamarr Houston
150 CB Alterraun Verner
187 DT Earl Mitchell
197 S Robert Johnson
227 CB Crezdon Butler

I think I'm ready for the draft to start. I'm still waiting to see where Jason Campbell and Albert Haynesworth are traded. I think that the Jags will complete a trade with the Eagles so Phi can draft Earl Thomas to fill the void left behind from Brian Dawkins. The Jags can then select Tebow at #24.
