My Guys 2016

The idea behind My Guys was that I would come up with a small list of guys who could provide value and fill needs for the Texans roster compiled of players who I believe would translate to the NFL and be core players fitting our system. Then what happens is I get questioned why I don't have such a player on my list and what about this other guy. This year players like Ezekiel Elliott, Dereck Henry, Paxton Lynch, Corey Coleman, Will Fuller; to name a few were brought to my attention for being omissions. So, I figure out where I might place them into my board if they were to fall. I also have a philosophy much like Drew Boylhart of TheHuddleReport.com - where I evaluate the talent. Then consider the media, hype, mock drafts, politics, and external factors that may differentiate between the Talent Board and the Value Board. In this class I am not ecstatic about the Tight Ends, but I believe that this roster needs to upgrade. So the TE position is probably overvalued. Henry isn't a all-around TE, but his ability to catch the ball gives him value. Nick Vannett is probably the most complete, but I am not sold on the pass catching skills. Ryan Kelly iz one of my favorite players who I see going in the 2nd round in many mock drafts. Darron Lee is my prototype of what I want from the ILB position instead of Cushing. I'm not sure that the Texans would buy into my thought process. Conklin is the best OT who I project might be available for the Texans at #22. He could be insurance for Duane Brown and start at RT. Other OT prospects like Ifedi or Spriggs will experience growing pains. I would prefer a player who contributed right now like Doctson or Shepard.

I'm hoping we get Ryan Allen also but 22 is probably too high for him so I am trying to trade down and still take him at the bottom of the 1st or early 2nd. However, if I see a good LT or edge rusher or Reggie Ragland falling to 22, I might pull the trigger on that person and grab a center later if Allen is not there.

I usually see Allen on the boards somewhere between 25 and 50.

You may have seen this, there is a list of most of the draft picks Texans have interviewed and worked out .

And Pro Days Texans attended. Might be interesting.

Very helpful. Sounds like due diligence mostly but when you see a name you haven't heard of and then they all the sudden they choose that guy in the sixth round and you ask "Who the hell is...?", you can go back and see that they met with the guy during private workouts or pro days.
