2015 Mocks

[HPF Bob]

This pretty much nails what and who I want from this draft. Of course, it presumes these trades would be made and these players would be available but this pretty much sums up what I would do with the Texans' 2015 draft:

1. Traded 1-16 to Arizona for 1-24, 2-23 and 4-24.
2. Traded 4-17, 5-16 and 6-19 to Green Bay for 3-30.

24 - (from ARZ) R1P24 WR JAELEN STRONG ARIZONA STATE 6-2, 217
Dropping on some boards but still my pick as an AJ replacement. I think this makes a trade-down credible and sets up the rest of the draft.
51 - R2P19 ILB BENARDRICK MCKINNEY MISSISSIPPI STATE 6-4, 246
Would be okay here with Anthony or Perryman though McKinney is my guy.
55 - (from ARZ) R2P23 OLB LORENZO MAULDIN LOUISVILLE 6-4, 259
College DE with OLB experience. Can pass rush or play over the TE.
82 - R3P18 CB-FS ERIC ROWE UTAH 6-1, 205
Houston product who makes perfect safety/slot corner combo. Not likely to actually be available in the mid-3rd. Opinions vary.
94 (from GB) - R3P30 TE JESSE JAMES PENN STATE 6-7, 261
Huge target that O'Brien knows well. Ran 4.69 at Pro Day. Capable blocker.
123 (from ARZ) - R4P24 C ANDY GALLIK BOSTON COLLEGE 6-2, 306
We need to take a center here and several will work out ok. Finney, Dismukes, Mason, all could work here.
175 (comp) - R5P39 DT JOEY MBU HOUSTON 6-3, 313
Either Mbu or Derrick Lott works for me as Wilfork's backup. Flip a coin.
211 (comp) - R6P35 WR-KR TY MONTGOMERY STANFORD 6-0, 221
Either Montgomery or Antwan Goodley is my 4th WR/ KR. Flip a coin.
216 (comp) - R6P40 DE RAY DREW GEORGIA 6-4, 265
Raw but has potential to be effective DE or slim down to a 3-4 LB. Deion Barnes works here too.
235 - R7P18 G-C MILES DIEFFENBACH PENN STATE 6-4, 301
Bench depth for guard and center. Tough kid. O'Brien connection.
