Cause I'm Bored A : Pre All Star Games Mock
17 Carson Wentz QB North Dakota State Sr 6-5 231 (trade up)
52 Kenneth Dixon RB Louisiana Tech Sr 5-10 212 84 (given up in the trade up) 116 Tyler Higbee TE Western Kentucky rSr 6-5 233 148 Jayron Kearse SS Clemson Jr 6-4 220 180 Demarcus Ayers WR Houston Jr 5-10 190 Offense heavy. And I don't want to trade up in the 1st, but that is the hand currently laid in front of me. Until we have a better idea of the QB rankings, this is my guess. This will change a lot between now and April.

Perhaps due to trades we will gain a fith rounder for Keshawn Martin, and two seventh rounders - one for Case Keenum to Rams and one for Fitzpatric to Jets.
But loose a sixth for Mallett from Boston and a seventh from Denver for Chris Clark. So that is likely a total of 8 picks this year. maybe. likely no compensatory this year. Right now I'm thinking no trade up required for QB, but as you mentioned , lots of time till draft actually takes place. Just me, I'd probably target a TE before a RB which means I think some upside to running backs we have now. A 6'4" safety to keep up with the big TE's like Gronk sounds reasonable. |

I think playing time incentives Fitz achieved bumped the 7th up to a 6th.

Draftek is now showing Texans with two in fifth, one in sixth, and none in 7th.

Time for a new mock:
22 Vernon Butler DT Louisiana Tech Sr 6-4 325 52 Kenneth Dixon RB Louisiana Tech Sr 5-10 215 85 Dak Prescott QB Mississippi State rSr 6-2 226 116 Cole Toner OT Harvard Sr 6-5 305 146 Jayron Kearse SS Clemson Jr 6-4 220 154 Graham Glasgow OG Michigan rSr 6-6 306 177 Temarrick Hemingway TE South Carolina State rSr 6-5 245 Butler is athletic and large, takes advantage of Wilfork to teach him the ropes. Dixon is a versatile back that can run between the tackles or split out and run routes. Prescott is a project that has leadership skills and has become a solid passer. Toner had a solid Senior Bowl, and showing the skills to stonewall guys from the big schools. Kearse brings the size for the SS position, is also a ball hawk. Glasgow can play center or guard, well coached in college. Hemingway is a big bodied split out TE.

I like it. No real surprise, we often like the same type of players, PK. It's still early, but do you like Vernon Butler more than Jarran Reed or do you believe that Reed is off the board by #22? I am also a fan of Kearse and am eager to compare his measurables to Miles Killebrew

As for Reed v Butler. I used the cbssports.com rating of the players, and I try not to grab players after their slotting. CBS has Reed as #21, so in my mock he would be gone. But I am not sure which guy I would rank ahead of the other all things being equal. Butler looks more fluid and does not move like a 325lb guy. Granted Reed's highlights are against guys more skilled than Butler has played. I would love to be able to go back and watch the Senior Bowl Practices again.

Offensive Draft (Different names to watch)
22 Corey Coleman WR Baylor rJr 5-10 190 52 Nick Martin C Notre Dame rSr 6-4 296 2-3 85 Tyler Higbee TE Western Kentucky rSr 6-5 233 116 Cardale Jones QB Ohio State rJr 6-5 250 146 Aaron Green RB TCU rSr 5-11 203 154 Tom Hackett P Utah Sr 5-11 195 177 Ka'imi Fairbairn K UCLA Sr 6-0 183 Defensive Draft ( new names to watch) 22 Austin Johnson DT Penn State rJr 6-4 323 52 Carl Nassib DE Penn State rSr 6-7 273 85 Scooby Wright III ILB Arizona Jr 6-0 246 116 Cyrus Jones CB Alabama Sr 5-10 196 146 Hassan Ridgeway DT Texas rJr 6-3 320 154 Tyvis Powell FS Ohio State rJr 6-3 209 177 Anthony Zettel DE Penn State rSr 6-4 273 Just some names to watch, that may or may not be on your radars. BTW if Nassib can play 3-4DE and replace Crick, the Front 7 would clobber other teams OLs. Watt - Wilfork/Johnson - Nassib with Merercilus - McKinney - Cushing - Clowney

Cooper can return punts and has size. (I don't like how he carries the ball like a bread loaf away from his body). Miles Killebrew is a solid thumper at SS. Are you really willing to wait until the 4th for Prescott? Henry Krieger Coble video This coaching staff does like them some boys from Iowa. We both have Green. My question is can he return punts and can he also play some in the slot? He will be a matchup problem with LBs not being able to cover him. Beavers looks like a solid raw LT prospect.

Pharoh Cooper is a guy I have heard a lot of buzz about. He would complement Hopkins and Strong while providing Special Teams ability. I am eager to see comparisons with Sterling Shepard of Oklahoma who is currently ranked lower. Killebrew is similar to Kearse in my opinion but again currently ranked higher. A thumper who has some ball skills and the size to match athletic TEs. Could also be a Gunner on kicks. I would be sweating bullets to wait for Dak until the 4th round. But, Bryce Petty was a 4th round pick last year and I loved him coming out. If I missed on Prescott, I would have gone Jacoby Brissett or Kevin Hogan later. Aaron Green is elusive and quick. He reminds me of Reggie Bush, so I would want to pair him with another RB to split carries. Kenyan Drake is the other RB I like to fit this role, but Drake is ranked higher and not as good of a bargain. I beleive Green could be like Andre Ellington or Gio Bernard. Krieger Coble was the bargain TE I grabbed since I didn't get Henry. I also like Vannett from Ohio State.

If the Texans waited until the 4th round to select a QB - any QB - there will be a mob with pitchforks storming on Kirby Drive.
So if Dak is the answer at QB for this team, who then starts for you week 1? Dak? Savage? Hoyer? Keep in mind the past two seasons how much the overall success of this team has suffered due to a lack of even a decent QB. Another year of taking a mid-round QB and starting essentially a street FA in Week 1 will not go over well. |

Toner is available in the 4 on most mocks and now I can watch Beavers also. I would not be unhappy if we ended up with both Beavers and Toner after the 4th round. But if Mayock is seeing Beavers skills and I saw Toner's skills, little doubt the NFL guys missed them as badly as the mock guys are. Roy, you and I often find guys low on the mock draft list that end up being drafted in the top 3 rounds, so I would bet that these two guys go earlier than the mockers have them going.

I let Savage start with the first 4 weeks. A 2-2 start warrants a 5th start. A 1-3 start is my cue to give Dak a shot to see if he has made progress.

I'm guessing it's Paxton Lynch if available or Connor Cook. We shall see.
