WalterFootball Mock

10/28/14

13 Houston Texans: Cedric Ogbuhei, OT, Texas A&M
The Texans have won too many games to be in contention for one of the top three quarterbacks. Instead, they'll have to make an upgrade elsewhere, and one area they could consider is the right tackle position. Derek Newton has looked like a human turnstile this season, so Houston could consider bolstering its blocking.

Pick change; previously Landon Collins, S

45 Houston Texans: Shawn Oakman, DE/DT, Baylor
The Texans have struggled against the run this year because they miss Antonio Smith, whom they failed to replace this past offseason. Here's an upgrade who will make their defensive front even more formidable.

Pick change; previously Danny Shelton, NT

77 Houston Texans: Wayne Lyons, CB, Stanford
The Texans wanted to address cornerback depth in the previous offseason, but never got around to it. Perhaps they will this spring.

Pick change; previously Sean Mannion, QB

I could live with this one. My list of needs is QB, CB, OT, WR, S

At some point they need to play the two QBs on the bench to see what we have, or do they look that bad in practice. We maybe needing two CBs early in this draft, we all know they need another answer at ROT, AJ is not getting younger and WRs take time to mature. Lastly we need an future upgrade at Safety.

Umm, Derek Newton has been one of the best OL on the team this year. At 13 you could make an argument for damn near any other position on the team other than OT. They need to watch some Texans games over there, painful as that might be.

If the Texans do pick in that area I think that is prime CB territory.

Time to replace Watt... (j/k)

I don't think Walter has watched any Texans games this year. We need a new QB, yes, but not another project so unless one is there in the first that we like, we need to turn our attention to trades and free agents.

We could always use better DBs and more help at ILB. Pinkett has helped a lot at DT.

The OL has been improving although I'd love some upgrades there. Another WR if we aren't going to play Posey and let's find somebody who knows how to field and run back kicks.

How could I forget ILB?

Pickett is 35 and came out of retirement, but for sure helping. Maybe DT or DE help needed as well. We aren't really getting that much pressure on QB so far this year. Maybe that pass rush will improve as Clowney and Cushing get in shape. And as young guys get experience.

Run offense ranked 5th and run defense ranked 13th, everything else in mid-20s, so, yeah, almost any position could upgrade.

I'd rather see what Nix has to offer next year before using a top pick on a nose guard. Maybe he's a fat ass with a bad knee who can't control his weight but maybe he'll realize he's blowing a chance for a good career and want to be the fireplug NT we invested in.

13 Marcus Peters CB Washington rJr 6-0 198
45 Benardrick McKinney ILB Mississippi State rJr 6-4 249
77 Sean Mannion QB Oregon State rSr 6-5 220

CBSSports.com posted a Mock 10.26.14

14. Houston Texans -- Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State: Veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick may keep the Texans from picking in the top 10 but he's clearly not the long-term answer and there has been little indication to this point that fourth round pick Tom Savage is either. Scouts are intrigued by Cook's confidence, poise and strong arm and Bill O'Brien would know him well.

Saw on my Twitter feed this morning Cook has decided to return to Michigan State next year. Of course, that could change, but he felt the need to announce it now so I guess there's something to it.

Wasn't sure where to stick this, but thought this was interesting. Came out due to the Pack cutting their 2011 1st rounder.
@dpbrugler: NFL 1st rounders still on team that drafted him

2009: 11
2008: 10

Walters new mock is out. 11.25.14

12 Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
The Texans could target the wide receiver position in the first round this upcoming April. Andre Johnson won't be on the team much longer, so Houston will have to find a new starting wideout across from DeAndre Hopkins.

45 Denzel Perryman, LB, Miami
The Texans need some help in the middle of their defense, as the disappointing Brian Cushing won't be around much longer.

Pick change; previously Benardrick McKinney, LB

76 Cam Thomas, CB, Western Kentucky
The Texans wanted to address cornerback depth in the previous offseason, but never got around to it. Perhaps they will this spring.

Any thoughts on this one?

One of my first attempt at a mock. I am paying closer attention to the position than the player himself, I have not had much college game time this season.

12 P.J. Williams CB Florida State Jr 6-0 196
45 Ty Montgomery WR Stanford Sr 6-2 215
76 Kurtis Drummond FS Michigan State rSr 6-1 200
108 Eric Kendricks ILB UCLA rSr 6-0 230

I was also looking at OL, and QB if the team is not sold on one of the current guys.

Some are saying that Shawn Oakman is a top-10 prospect, but they are making the mistake of not reading Charlie Campbell's NFL Draft Rumor Mill, where Charlie reported that one NFL general manager considers Oakman to be a third-day prospect.

Pick change; previously Denzel Perryman, LB

77 Cam Thomas, CB, Western Kentucky

Walters 12.17.14

13 Houston Texans: P.J. Williams, CB, Florida State
The Texans wanted to address cornerback depth in the previous offseason, but never got around to it. Perhaps they will this spring after seeing how poorly their corners performed this season.

Pick change; previously Kevin White, WR

45 Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn
The Texans could target the wide receiver position in early rounds this upcoming April. Andre Johnson won't be on the team much longer, so Houston will have to find a new starting wideout across from DeAndre Hopkins.

Pick change; previously Jalen Collins, CB

79 Houston Texans: Sean Hickey, OT, Syracuse
Derek Newton is a liability at right tackle that the Texans should think about addressing.

Pick change; previously Ray Drew, DE/DT

IMO Walters has not watched a single game this season of the Texans. I can see them going CB-WR 1-2, but his comments have not been updated most of the season for our guys.

Rob Rang currently has us picking Shelton.

Walters typically changes their picks but not their narratives. Once the season is over, that will probably get updated.

That's a luxury enjoyed by most people who are not Texans fans.

Eheh, Walter sometimes makes "old" statements like this.... I always cut him some slack cause his job is to stay on top of 32 NFL teams and all the prospects coming from college while most of us don't.....

What if? My Mock 2015 2.0

13 *Shawn Oakman 3/4 DE Baylor rJr 6-8 275 Either BOB loves this kid, or he doesn't give him the time of day after his stint at Penn St. If he loves the kid and Clowney returns healthy someday, we could have a front seven of Watt, Nix, Oakman, Mercilus, Cushing, Mohamed, Clowney. Call it the "Pick Your Poison Defense". That is 5 guys who play in the other teams backfield on most plays.

45 Ty Montgomery WR/KR Stanford Sr 6-2 215

77 *Charles Gaines CB/PR Louisville rJr 5-11 175

109 *Tyler Kroft TE Rutgers rJr 6-5 240

141 Ladarius Gunter CB Miami (Fla.) rSr 6-2 198

173 Quandre Diggs DB Texas Sr 5-10 204

I don't think we go DE in the 1st, but it could be fun to envision.

This looks exactly like a Rick Smith draft. Horrible.
