Fanspeak 2018 Texans Pre-Combine Mocks
I am doing two mocks to begin with - one without trades and one trading for a second-rounder as I suspect we will do with one of our two 2019 second-rounders combined with one of our 2018 thirds.
CBS.com board 3/3 with no trades (board made on 2/28): 68: R3P4 G-C BILLY PRICE OHIO ST. 80: R3P16 TE DALLAS GOEDERT S. DAK. ST. 98: R3P34 OT GERON CHRISTIAN LOUISVILLE 103: R4P3 CB MIKE HUGHES UCF 177: R6P3 LB JOSEY JEWELL IOWA 211: R6P37 DL ZAYCOVEN HENDERSON TEXAS A&M 214: R6P40 S SEAN CHANDLER TEMPLE 222: R7P4 QB LUKE FALK WASH. STATE Notes: With speculation that Fiedorowicz will retire due to concussions, a TE became a necessity. The rest of the early rounds were fresh bodies for the OL and help for the defense. Falk was simply too high a value not to take a chance on in the seventh round. If nothing else, the kid can air it out after playing in a Mike Leach offense with great success. To be honest, I am not keyed into late-round options yet so these were guys rated best at their positions when our turns came up. The second go-round is with the Fanspeak draft board (made 2/27) and, before the draft, I've arranged a trade: TRADE PARTNER: NEW YORK JETS SENT: ROUND: 3 PICK: 4 ROUND: 6 PICK: 37 FUTURE ROUND 2 PICK RECEIVED: ROUND: 2 PICK: 17 Later, I converted my fourth round pick into two of them: TRADE PARTNER: GREEN BAY PACKERS SENT: ROUND: 4 PICK: 3 RECEIVED: ROUND: 4 PICK: 14 ROUND: 4 PICK: 33 The results: 49: R2P17 G WILL HERNANDEZ UTEP 80: R3P16 TE MARK ANDREWS OKLAHOMA 98: R3P34 OT GERON CHRISTIAN LOUISVILLE 114: R4P14 S QUIN BLANDING VIRGINIA 133: R4P33 RB KALEN BALLAGE ARIZONA STATE 177: R6P3 LB DAVIN BELLAMY GEORGIA 214: R6P40 EDGE JACOB PUGH FLORIDA STATE 222: R7P4 P MICHAEL DICKSON TEXAS Notes: Hernandez has been spoken of as a low first-rounder. Andrews is a Jason Witten-type that gets deep. Ballage is an all-purpose back who has opened eyes at the combine. Dickson is a Ray Guy Award winner that can push Shane Lechler into a well-earned retirement. |

Not bad. Of course, the Jets are now out of the 2nd round trading with the Colts..... Who knows what else will happen pre-draft..
Just a tough draft year for the Texans. If they don't make any moves it'll be kinda boring. If they do make some moves, they'll have to pay (obviously)...... |

The Texans may not have many high draft picks they could use in a trade to move up higher but they certainly have several very attractive players they could trade if they wanted to move higher in this Draft ? I don't expect the Texans to trade a key player but like I said we know nothing about how Gain will run his first Draft. |
