2013 Mocks and Needs

[HPF Bob]

I'm not disagreeing. A team that has good depth and the team has a few strong leaders that can keep a young player in line, can take that chance in the third round. I compare it to when Denver drafted Maurice Clarett. If you can accept that you might have just drafted a bust, you can take the gamble. Clarett did become a bust but he might also have been great.

Found another top 200 draft stock list: National Football Post

Using their rankings I could see the Texans having a draft like the following

1 Terrance Williams WR Baylor 6'2" 201
2 Shayne Skove ILB Stanford 6'1" 245
3a Bacarri Rambo FS Georgia 6' 206
3b Blidi Wrey-Wilson CB UConn 6' 190
4 John Jenkins NT Georgia 6'4" 363
5a Joseph Fauria TE UCLA 6'6" 255
5b La'Veon Bell RB Michigan St 6'2" 245

This would be a huge draft IMO. Williams is a solid 2 and a future 1, would give us a great young pair(added to Posey) of WR to help lengthen AJ career. Skove is a prototype for 3-4 ILB. Rambo is ball hawk, Wrey-Wilson is a raw prospect who has solid man coverage skills. Jenkins is a top 50 player shocked they have him this low, but he gives the Texans a presence in the middle like they have never had. Fauria has soft hands, is a huge target for the red zone, and a willing blocker. Bell is a power back who could be special with some coaching.

Good looking Draft there PK, except where's your RT ? Most everybody has us taking a tackle prospect in the first or second round to play on the right side.

This doesn't seem too realistic. Bell, in particular, shouldn't last until the fifth. He's a workhorse and a load although I think he's a step slow for the NFL, some of these guys still make it work.

I agree on the does not seem realistic, but hey it is someones list that looks like a national writer. I would be happy if our draft fell like this.

And for nunusguy, no I do not see us needing to go with a RT in early part of the draft, I think we are looking ok at RT, Newton has started to look pretty solid. And I also hope we resign Ryan Harris, though Andrew Gardner look ok in limited play. That would give us three decent tackles. More than most teams, and don't forget Mondek is still on the practice squad, if he is able to make the jump he has the potential to be a nice swing guy also. That is 5 OTs, and don't forget Brooks can play RT in a pinch. I don't see the Texans going tackle unless a really good one slides to them.

I am really having to rethink the OL after the game today...
