I have some time to kill until the kickoff tonight. I hate the prime time start. So another mock from the cbssports.com rankings.
1 Barrett Jones OG Alabama Sr 6-4 305 Jones could be a 5 position guy in the NFL. He might be a super stud at the RT position, he is at worse LG in this league. A little short to play LT but he was 1st team all SEC at LT last season, so he has skills, he is currently playing OC for the Tide. This would give the Texans options on the OL. Brooks can play RG and possibly RT, Ben Jones can play both guards and OC, Barrett Jones could be one of three positions, LG/RG/RT, and be a starter next season and for the next 10 years. 2 Kevin Minter ILB LSU rJr 6-1 245 Would give the Texans another ILB to go with Sharpton (if he is recovered) and Cushing. Stout against the run and decent enough in pass coverage. Could be part of the 2 down ILB rotation. 3 Bacarri Rambo FS Georgia rSr 6-0 210 Rambo ( i love this name) has some dings to his off the field record, but on the field he is a stud. He might be a 2nd rounder but he currently #93 on cbssports.com and #81 on thehuddlereport.com. If he is here you take him. Adding playmakers to the safety position always helps the team. 3A supplemental pick Shayne Skov ILB Stanford Sr 6-3 242 If we ahev learned anything this season, having enough high level tackling machines to play the ILB position is a must. Skov is a high effort guy, a smart guy, can play the run or the pass. IMO he is a 2nd rounder, but cbssports has him as a 3-4 round guy, so I jump on him. I now have some insurance for Cushing and Sharpton. 4 Abry Jones DT Georgia Sr 6-3 308 Has had ankle surgery and will miss the rest of the regular season, has a chance to play in bowl game. Could become a sleeper type pick. Can play the 5 tech or can be move inside and be a disruptor in the backfield. Has long arms. 5 Jeremiah Attaochu OLB Georgia Tech Jr 6-2 240 Plays the strong side OLB in the 3-4 at Georgia Tech. A little on the short side, but.... 5 supplemental Michael Williams TE Alabama rSr 6-5 272 Blocking TE who has receiving skills. Has size and strength at the point of attach in the run. 6 Theo Riddick RB Notre Dame Sr 5-11 200 Any 6th rounder or later is a long shot to make this team, depending FA losses. 7 Quinn Sharp P Oklahoma State rSr 6-1 205 see comment above.

I think this next draft is going to be heavy at OL with a sprinkle of ILB and OLB - with an eye on ST players. Wouldn't surprise me to see 3 of our first 4 picks (hopefully we get a #3 for Mario) go to OL.

So PK, I gather you think that xtra 3 & 5 are comp picks ?

#85

Yes, a 3rd for Mario, and a 5th for Briesel. We might get a 7th also. Brady James will count against us in the formula, so not sure of the comp picks.
Sorry I called them supplemental.

Having watched Vacarro at Texas, he will probably win a job on special teams because he makes memorable hits but he hits more than he tackles and I'd rather have defensive backs who tackle receivers instead of throwing a shoulder into them and hoping they fall down.
Watch the better defenses in the NFL and you'll see them wrap up and bring down ball carriers in the open field. The Texas players, regrettably, don't do this which is why they are 85th in defense. They just don't tackle; they hit and hope he falls. |

Might be a good year to trade up into the late teens or early 20's to pick.

We've seen Rick Smith trade down a few times. I can't recall him trading up with a target in mind. I might be wrong but I don't really recall a "The _____ have traded out of their pick and with that pick the Texans select...." since the infamous Babin trade which was done by Chatty Casserley.

I would only take an OLB in the first round if we aren't keeping Barwin. Otherwise, we have enough invested with Barwin, Reed and Mercilus. Of course, Cushing was an OLB in college so there could be the plan to convert such a pick to the inside.
I'd sure rather see a big body in the middle or the top ILB at the bottom of Round 1. |

Also I am thinking Barwin is gone if he is offered a decent size contract from someone, but that happening is looking more unlikely. Skov is a more traditional ILB, and we need to upgrade the depth at ILB. That would give the Texans Cushing coming of IR, Sharpton who will have missed half this season, Dobbins and Skov as full time ILB and Thomas as a swing guy going from ILB to OLB depending on the package.

Until we know Wade Phillips plans beyond this year, wouldn't it be premature to sign/resign any LBs ?
|
#96
|

|

Maybe not. If we promote a DC from within if Phillips leaves, then the schemes are likely to remain the same. I think it would be foolish, after our personnel decisions of the past two years, to switch back to a 4-3 base.

My problem is which guy would you go with? Reggie called the defense last year during the game Wade missed, and the team sucked that week. I like the young DB coach, Vance Joseph, but he has no experience calling defenses. Kollar was here during the bad defense years, so can he be an answer, not sure. IMO we need to keep Wade here as long as we can. edit note a name to add to the mix: John Pagano DC for the Chargers, he has worked with Wade with the Chargers, might not be a fit, but then again...

draftsite 11.27.12
32 Stedman Bailey* WR West Virginia 5' 10" 190
62 Shawn Williams S Georgia 6' 1" 220 94 Jamie Collins OLB Southern Miss 6' 3" 239 126 Brad Madison DE Missouri 6' 4" 250 158 Russell Shepard RB LSU 6' 1" 188 190 Taylor Reed ILB Southern Methodist 5' 11" 215 Decent enough mock for this time of year. My attempt: 32 Bjoern Werner* DE Florida State 6' 4" 273. 62 Shawn Williams S Georgia 6' 1" 220 94 Shayne Skov ILB Stanford 6' 3" 242 126 Lerentee McCray OLB Florida 6' 3" 249 158 Theo Riddick RB Notre Dame 5' 11" 198 190 Marcus Davis WR Virginia Tech Sr 6'4" 232 222 Spencer Nealy NT Texas A&M 6'4" 280 Cheated a little bit, can you find it? Werner is a big play maker when big plays are needed, sound familiar? He has the size to groom into a DE in this system.

That all said, If I was doing these picks I would go with Barrett Jones, G/C/OT, Alabama (who they take 32), and then I would run to the podium with the Cobi Hamilton pick at 62. I would address Safety, NT or ILB in the 3rd. Jones can play all 5 positions on the OL, he has started and excelled at LT and OC at Bama. He, Jones and Brooks would give you versatility in the OL.
