Maybe that's why I didn't hate it, because it's unreasonably optimistic.

As you have pointed out there is no consensus on these guys and where that stack up, but there are some list that would make these picks possible.

Texans have their weekly survey of 28 draft sites up
http://www.houstontexans.com/news/ar...c-4caba8b424d0 Pick breakdown CB: 7 (25%) OT: 6 (21%) LB: 4 (14%) S: 4 (14%) DL: 3 (11%) RB: 2 (7%) WR & TE each with 1 apiece for 4% each Texans included a nice video from combine of Trae Waynes running 40 in 4.35 who was picked by six of seven drafters picking a CB. There is also a video analyzing team needs which quotes O'Brien to McClain answering QB, WR, secondary, line backers. Of course that list of needs makes sense when you look at Texans top seven FA , who could be gone if not signed by March 10, next week. ◾ Kareem Jackson, CB ◾ Brooks Reed, OLB ◾ Ryan Pickett, DT ◾ Danieal Manning, S ◾ Kendrick Lewis, S ◾ Ryan Mallett, QB ◾ Derek Newton, OT Last edited by Nconroe; 03-02-2015 at 06:53 PM. |

I'd like to see us trade down unless somebody jumps out at #16. The mocks I look at, we could go down to 22-24, pick up another second day pick and add another contributor.

That's not a bad idea

I did a mock draft on Fanspeak.com with the intention of taking CB Kevin Johnson TE Clive Warford and WR Tyler Lockett in the first three rounds. Instead it played out like this :
16 WR Amari Cooper 51 TE Maxx Williams 82 CB Byron Jones 113 QB Bryce Petty 144 RT Rob Havenstein 179 LG Mitch Morse 210 FS Damorious Randall I wanted a ILB & DT and perhaps an OLB, but really couldn't complain about the results.

I would have to take Preston Smith instead of Duke Johnson. But I like the players.

Just read some of the best news.
BOB interviewed Chris Conley for an hour at UGA proday. He's a kid I'm REALLY hoping we draft this year, and a perfect compliment to Hopkins. Is projected to go in the 4-5 round, but may go sooner after is ridiculous combine. http://espn.go.com/blog/houston-texa...h-chris-conley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmPVipftmes |

Most of the mocks now have us taking a WR in the first round - mostly Devante Parker or Jaelen Strong with one (Rob Rang) thinking we'll be the ones to believe in Dorial Green-Beckham.
I don't think DG-B is a possibility but I have been doing at least one mock a day at Fanspeak and it is interesting how often somebody falls at #16 you didn't expect and that trade-down possibilties are there. With all the trading frenzy that happened in free agency, some draft-day trades also seem very likely. Could the Texans be one? Would the Browns (at 19) or the Eagles (at 20) be in the mood to deal? |

/QUOTE] I have drafted Amari Cooper and Kevin White. As well as Bud Dupree and Randy Gregory. Even Shane Ray could fall after his Pro Day.

Here's a fairly representative sample. Keep in mind that this is before the comp picks are announced and without much study of lower-round prospects. When it got to 16, Devante Parker was available but there were also some good defensive players and Jaelen Strong was still on the board so I traded down with Cincinnati to #21 and acquired their third-rounder, thinking I still had Strong if I lost out on Parker. Instead, Parker was still there. #21 - (from CIN) Devante Parker, WR, Louisville #51 - Stephone Anthony, ILB, Clemson #82 - Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon (if Myers isn't re-signed, we need a C behind Ben Jones) #85 - (from CIN) Jesse James, TE, Penn St. (for O'Brien) #113 - Chris Hackett, S, TCU #144 - Chris Conley, WR, Georgia (since he's still there and we publicly courted him) #179 - Quandre Diggs, CB, Texas (fell off a bit as a senior but has NFL talent) #210 - Chucky Hunter, DT, TCU I have my doubts about Conley but the others could realistically be there at that point of the draft.

I am a bit skeptical of some of the draft boards that I am seeing them use. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Yet it is nice to see some of the possibilities. I also use it to verify when I like a player too much and draft them in the 3rd round and see them consistently being drafted in the 5th or 6th round if I pass on them. I have used four different draft boards and these are some of the permutations :
1st round - Amari Cooper, Bud Dupree, Jaelen Strong, Kevin White 2nd round - Clive Walford, Laken Tomlinson, Preston Smith, Kevin Johnson 3rd round - Henry Anderson, Ali Marpet, Philip Dorsett, Xavier Cooper 4th round - Anthony Chickillo, Donovan Smith, Eric Rowe, Steven Nelson 5th round - Bryce Petty, Jesse James, Ben Heeney, Kwon Alexander 6th round - David Johnson, Derrick Lott, Tre McBride, Damarious Randall 7th round - Jake Ryan, Xavier Williams, Mitch Morse, Shane Carden

My Mock 1st round
As I was saying....I have a hard time buying some of the "information" I have read. So, I decided to throw my hat in the ring and create my own mock draft.
1 TB DT Leonard Williams 2 Tenn DE Dante Fowler 3 Jax DE Vic Beasley 4 Oak OLB Randy Gregory 5 Wash QB Jameis Winston 6 NYJ OLB Shane Ray 7 Chi CB Trae Waynes 8 Atl DE Bud Dupree 9 NYG S Landon Collins 10 StL WR Kevin White 11 Minn OT La'el Collins 12 Cle WR Amari Cooper 13 NO DT Malcolm Brown 14 Mia OT Ereck Flowers 15 SF OG Brandon Scherff 16 Hou WR Devante Parker 17 SD QB Marcus Mariota 18 KC OC Cameron Erving 19 Cle DT Danny Shelton 20 Phi DE Preston Smith 21 Cin WR Jaelen Strong 22 Pitt DE Arik Armstead 23 Det OT TJ Clemmings 24 Az RB Melvin Gordon 25 Car OT Andrus Peat 26 Bal RB Todd Gurley 27 Dal DT Jordan Phillips 28 Den LB Eric Kendricks 29 Ind OLB Eli Harold 30 GB DT Eddie Goldman 31 NO CB Jalen Collins 32 NE CB Kevin Johnson Winston has too much documented off-field issues and Lovey is a Defensive Coach. He can't pass on the "Next Warren Sapp" in Tampa Bay. The Redskins can still trade RGIII since Coach Gruden doesn't seem to appreciate him. Phil Rivers is pressing his luck in SD, so the Chargers buy insurance that falls in their laps. Two RBs in the first round?!?!

I can't believe Mariota falls to 17. Surely the Jets draft him if nobody else will. If we're at 16 and Mariota is still on the board, we're going to get some great offers to trade down, particularly from Philly.
