On another note, the team's second and third round picks are usually a shitshow so as far as I'm concerned if the team grabs a dude named Pharoah and then another dude named Scooby I'm going to have to call that a win. |

What if they use #22 on Hack?
That would certainly stir things up...... What if that was OB's plan all along? Use schmucks for 2 years until Hackenberg came out... Not sure I would like it but it would certainly put OB in a make or break situation... |

Maybe Hackenberg stunk it up for 2 years just in case the Texans didn't have the #1 overall pick so he could ensure that he could be reunited with OB.

IMO the downside is not that severe when and if missing with the 22nd pick in the Draft. Now if they were to use that pick, along with the second and/or third round pick, and our future first round from the 2017 Draft to move up for a QB, that move has a very steep downside if the QB were to crash&burn. But for the the 22nd Draft pick alone, they should use it on Hack if they like him even if they have him rated as only a second-round value.

Vernon Butler is ranked : CBS Sports - 33; Walter - 15; Draft Tek - 105 Kenneth Dixon is ranked: CBS Sports - 75; Walter - 71; Draft Tek - 82 Dak Prescott is ranked: CBS Sports - 115; Walter - 115; Draft Tek - 110 Cole Toner is ranked: CBS Sports - 125; Walter - not rated; Draft Tek - 136 Jayron Kearse is ranked: CBS Sports - 152; Walter - 79; Draft Tek - 45 So a lot of different views for the guys at the top. And that is what the NFL Draft will be like, only one team has to have the guy you have targeted in the 5th round ranked 45th overall and you loose him.

Dak Prescott being ranked #110 is amazing to me. Perhaps it's because he is not 6'5" or because he played in Tim Tebow's offense. Not really sure, but I would love to get him in the 4th round. The question becomes do I risk waiting that long and potentially missing out on him. My fallback plan would then become Jacoby Brissett. However, he could come off the board by the time I got to pick again and if I was targeting him in the 5th would that be a reach? Worse, what if I panicked because Prescott was gone and I traded up for Brissett and missed out on Kenyan Drake or Jayron Kearse. This kind of "what if" scenarios makes me want to pull the trigger on Dak in the 2nd round so I make sure I get my QB and keep as many draft picks as possible. I still have regrets that we were waiting for Jimmy Garoppolo to fall to the 3rd round.

If I am going Offensive heavy in this draft, then I might be looking a little bit harder at this guy.
Corey Coleman: The 5-11 WR from Baylor is in the 4.3 range, and he can stop and start, making him a possible PR guy also. Watch the video

So, last night I decided to perform my 1st mock draft utilizing Fanspeak On The Clock this year. On my first attempt I selected the following players before my phone locked up:
1st round - QB Carson Wentz 2nd round - ILB Jaylon Smith 3rd round - RB Jordan Howard 4th round - SS Miles Killebrew Then I waited for the 5th round to load, but eventually decided to just start over. So, on my 2nd attempt I was able to choose the following: 1st round - NT Jarran Reed 2nd round - TE Hunter Henry 3rd round - RB Devontae Booker 4th round - SS Miles Killebrew 5th round - DE Matt Ioannidis 6th round - QB Kevin Hogan 7th round - RB Kenyan Drake I have to admit that I would be quite pleased with that draft if it played out that way.

#29 TE Hunter Henry - I believe that he is being ranked lower than he will eventually be selected. I am considering QB Paxton Lynch here as well. #52 QB Dak Prescott. He is why I was able to choose the best TE with my 1st pick. If I had gone with Lynch in the 1st, I would like to be able to take WR Michael Thomas here to add to Hopkins and Strong. 85 RB Kenneth Dixon, Jordan Howard, or Devontae Booker (whoever's the BPA). I'm also considering S Miles Killebrew or Jayron Kearse. 93 SS Killebrew or Kearse....the idea of doubling up back to back S at 85 & 93 intrigued me. 120 WR Aaron Burbridge - since I passed on Thomas in the 2nd, I grab one of my favorite big WRs in the draft. I honestly feel as if he is the main reason people are so high on Connor Cook because he caught a lot of inaccurate passes. 129 RB Kenyan Drake - I like his Special Teams ability, believe that he could potentially share some carries so the RB workload could be spread out. 159 DE Matt Ioannidis - a workhorse who can play inside too. 166 QB Kevin Hogan - I have no problem drafting 2 QBs. My other thought was taking a 2nd TE here....Jerrell Adams or Tyler Higbee 167 NT DJ Reader - I have to believe that he is greatly undervalued, but I keep seeing him ranked this low. Yes please, and thank you. 198 RB Aaron Green - Taking 3 RBs in the draft might be silly. I see he has been snubbed by the Combine, so #198 might not be out of the question. Plus, if I took Kearse and Killebrew with my 3rd round picks I would be comfortable with Drake and Green as my RB by committee. My other thought was OG Joe Dahl. The only thing that concerns me is not being able to choose an OL, but the class isn't that great to find a bargain. Perhaps Westerman or Garnett in the 3rd round wouldn't have been a bad idea. I also want an ILB to replace Cushing, but maybe I look harder next year. Lastly, I considered CB Maurice Canady, Harlan Miller, and Cyrus Jones.

..... With the team likely to keep two current QBs, Savage and Weeden being my hope (Hoyer most likely over Weeden). I don't see them having the reps to go to a 2nd QB in this draft. And as bad as the TEs have been on the team, grabbing 2 makes perfect sense. ... Foster is likely gone, but Blue is not going anywhere and Grimes is likely to stick, **Edit add** also I forget about Akeem Hunt, he should make a jump and adds an element of speed this team needs **end edit** adding the 3rd RB to your draft maybe a reach. The Texans do need KR and PR guys and adding players that can be that and play a position is a bonus. I hope Izzo can turn our ST into a plus. I have been mocking from the point of view that we do not resign Jones and Brooks, so I have been heavy OL in my drafts, and its a slim draft in that area, but there are a few real studs that the draftniks have in the 4th and 5th rounds. I wish I could add more picks in the 2nd and early 3rd, but that is hard to do while keeping your 1st round pick. My question is how much do you sell the future draft for this draft?

Walter Database
I finished a couple of Mocks using the Walter rankings on Fanspeak. Without trades, this was my draft and alternative.
#22 WR Laquan Treadwell or QB Carson Wentz #52 QB Dak Prescott or ILB Darron Lee #85 NT Vernon Butler or WR Josh Doctson #120 RB Kenyan Drake or S Miles Killebrew #159 CB Maurice Canady or DE Matt Ioannidis #166 TE Jerrell Adams or CB Cyrus Jones #198 RB Aaron Green or NT DJ Reader

Hard to do this before we know about free agent moves and the comp picks. Those will change the equation significantly.
I am already presuming Foster will be cut. |
