New Walter's mock
15 Ronald Darby, CB, Florida State The Texans wanted to address cornerback depth in the previous offseason, but never got around to it. Perhaps they will this spring after seeing how poorly their corners performed this season. Pick change; previously P.J. Williams, CB 50 Benardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State The Texans really need help in the interior of their defense, as Brian Cushing is not expected back with the team next year. Pick change; previously Sammie Coates, WR 81 Ray Drew, DE/DT, Georgia The Texans have struggled against the run this year because they miss Antonio Smith, whom they failed to replace this past offseason. Here's an upgrade who will make their defensive front even more formidable. Pick change; previously Sean Hickey, OT I like a CB in the 1st, and would like an SEC ILB in the 2nd round. I do not agree that we are weak against the run currently at DE. I am also looking forward to Nix's return next off season. But I am not sure the guys we have are what RAC would ideally have on defense.

Another Walter Mock
16 Landon Collins, S, Alabama Landon Collins slips a bit out of circumstance in this update, but the Texans won't complain too much. They have some issues at safety that they need to address. Former second-rounder D.J. Swearinger has not lived up to expectations. Pick change; previously Ronald Darby, CB 51 Benardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State The Texans really need help in the interior of their defense, as Brian Cushing is not expected back with the team next year. 82 Josh Harper, WR, Fresno State It's unknown how much longer Andre Johnson will last, but the Texans could look into adding a future No. 2 wideout across from DeAndre Hopkins. Pick change; previously Ray Drew, DE/DT

I would not bring back Cushing (even though he's one of my all time favorites), but I had not heard it was likely the Texans wouldn't bring him back.

I'm really excited about this. Why, the last time the Texans had the #16 pick they made off with Travis Johnson!
What a complete joke this team is. Yes, Casserly, I know. But let's get back to reality today. Two playoff wins in thirteen years. This is 100% on the owner. He is a fkwit. His son is worse. We are going to have to live with Cal McDickwit for another, hell, lifetime. Sure, BOB seems to break the mold of previous Texans head coaches by not being a total dickwit but with these clowns at the controls that will get us only so far. |

They made off with Travis Johnson after trading out of the spot to take LB Derrick Johnson. Still wince over that one.

I was literally jumping up and down when it became clear that Derrick Johnson would be available. Then the Texans went and did what they did and I sat back down in total disbelief. You know, honestly, things haven't been quite the same between the team and me since. Hell, I used to travel significant distances to watch PRESEASON games. And now I haven't attended a game of any kind in years. I might just go to the game in Miami next year, though, depending on when it is.

Neither of these QBs looks very good in this semi final. Mariotta looks about like what I see when I watch my local HS team (Manvel), except he's bigger with a bigger arm. I think in the whole 1st half he has attempted to make an on time pass in the pocket to a receiver more than 5 yards downfield about 3 times. It's a junior high offense.
I'd go with Winston if I was picking between the two. I've seen more guys grow up in the NFL than I've seen guys learn to be QBs. Last edited by barrett; 01-01-2015 at 05:51 PM. |

BTW, what choice was Cushing? Wasn't he mid-first a few years back?

No matter Cushing health, the team needs to draft another ILB in the top three rounds.

Yeah, Cushing isn't really the one to cut. You could try to ask him to restructure his base, which I think is $4 million in 2015, but there are many other spots on the roster more easily addressed financially than Cushing this season. He signed like a 6-yr extension two years ago, so he's probably here not just for 2015 but for 2016 as well.

a new drafttek mock 2.18.15

As for the CB, not sure BOB will go for a CB who shy's away from tackling.

One thing you have to agree is that the Texans have never been into drafting local fan favorites from college. Even Case Keenum was a UDFA, not a draft choice. We passed on big-name Aggies and Longhorns several times over the years.

In 2004 they took Sloan Thomas WR Texas BTW Casserly's drafts really sucked In 2007 Kasey Studdard OG Texas In 2008 Frank Okam DT Texas In 2009 James Casey TE Rice In 2011 Cheta Ozougwu DE Rice In 2012 Randy Bullock K Texas A&M So not many local kids, and sadly even less memorable local kids. This was more interesting to me: Position Picks 1st Round Quarterback 6 1 Running Back 7 0 Fullback 1 0 Wide Receiver 9 2 Tight End 6 0 Offensive Tackle 7 1 Offensive Guard 6 0 Center 4 0 Defensive End 7 3 Defensive Tackle 8 2 Linebacker 10 2 Cornerback 11 2 Safety 9 0 Kicker 1 0 Punter 0 0 Very little offense has been drafted in the 1st by this team 4/9 (O/D) Edit note *** Sorry this is hard to read, it is all lined up until I hit save.

I think those were all last-day choices though. Clearly "We have to get to Peyton Manning" has been the draft's overall meme all these years.

DraftSite.com has this 7 round mock.
16 Malcom Brown DT Texas 6' 3" 325 51 Jalen Collins* CB LSU 6' 0" 195 82 Rob Havenstein OT Wisconsin 6' 7" 330 113 Deontay Greenberry* WR Houston 6' 2" 200 144 Arie Kouandijo OG Alabama 6' 5" 320 179 Shaquille Riddick OLB West Virginia 6' 5" 245 210 Xzavier Dickson ILB Alabama 6' 2" 265 The teams FA loses and signing will have an impact on this mock. My take: 16 Melvin Gordon* RB Wisconsin 6' 1" 205 51 Alex Carter* CB Stanford 6' 0" 195 82 Clive Walford TE Miami 6' 4" 255 113 Donovan Smith* OT Penn State 6' 6" 340 144 Mike Hull ILB Penn State 6' 0" 230 179 Adrian Amos S Penn State 6' 0" 215 210 Darren Waller WR Georgia Tech 6' 6" 240 Why not a Penn St heavy draft? I am kidding about that, but the position groups might be close, and I would not be shocked if they drafted 2 TEs. I am interested in getting faster on offense, thus Gordon the kid can fly. I am not feeling any of the QBs projected to be available to them.Would not be upset if they signed Jerry Lovelocke QB Prairie View A&M as an UDFA.
