Typo or did the the Texans trade back a couple of spots?
 
Based on @HaydenWinks' analytics, these prospects are predicted to have the most NFL success at their position.

Rank – Prospect (historical percentile rank) – overall rank (projected overall pick)

OT1 – Jonah Williams (96th percentile OT) – 12th overall (projected 19th overall pick)

OT2 – Andre Dillard (92nd percentile OT) – 16th overall (projected 15th overall pick)

OT3 – Cody Ford (89th percentile OT) – 22nd overall (projected 23rd overall pick)

OT11 – Dru Samia (56th percentile OT) – 89th overall (projected 98th overall pick)

Underrated: Kaleb McGary, Tytus Howard, Oli Udoh, Mitch Hyatt, Yosh Nijman. … Overrated: Jawaan Taylor if he goes top 10, Greg Little, Yodny Cajuste.

One thing I learned: It might not seem like it matters, but being super athletic as an offensive tackle is crucial to get into that elite tier. While some might like arm length (I’ve found that it’s largely overrated), I like my offensive tackles to be agile and fast. Josh Norris has a fantastic threshold regarding short shuttle times, and I’ve found a similar one using weight-adjusted 40-yard dash times:


CB1 – Joejuan Williams (97th percentile CB) – 33rd overall (projected 70th overall pick)

CB2 – Julian Love (96th percentile CB) – 34th overall (projected 61st overall pick)

CB3 – Deandre Baker (95th percentile CB) – 35th overall (projected 41st overall pick)

CB4 – Greedy Williams (93th percentile CB) – 49th overall (projected 29th overall pick)

CB5 – Trayvon Mullen (88th percentile CB) – 57th overall (projected 65th overall pick)

CB6 – Byron Murphy (86th percentile CB) – 62nd overall (projected 27th overall pick)

CB7 – Isaiah Johnson (86th percentile CB) – 63rd overall (projected 67th overall pick)

CB8 – Jamel Dean (81th percentile CB) – 73rd overall (projected 86th overall pick)

CB9 – Lonnie Johnson (80th percentile CB) – 74th overall (projected 57th overall pick)

CB10 – Amani Oruwariye (78th percentile CB) – 79th overall (projected 75th overall pick)

CB11 – Rock Ya-Sin (77th percentile CB) – 80th overall (projected 34th overall pick)

CB12 – Justin Layne (77th percentile CB) – 81st overall (projected 45th overall pick)

CB13 – David Long (58th percentile CB) – 107th overall (projected 101st overall pick)

Underrated: Joejuan Williams, Julian Love, Amani Oruwariye, Jamel Dean. … Overrated: Sean Bunting, Kendall Sheffield, Jimmy Moreland, Hamp Cheevers.

One thing I learned: Size for corners matters more than I thought. Being taller has historically helped as long as the size was preventing him from being explosive and being too thin has been a really bad sign. That’s potentially bad news for Greedy Williams who is 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds.

Rank – Prospect (historical percentile rank) – overall rank (projected overall pick)

S1 – Chauncey Gardner-Johnson (91st percentile S) – 50th overall (projected 39th overall pick)

S2 – Amani Hooker (88th percentile S) – 55th overall (projected 68th overall pick)

S3 – Johnathan Abram (86th percentile S) – 66th overall (projected 39th overall pick)

S4 – Darnell Savage (84th percentile S) – 72nd overall (projected 68th overall pick)

S5 – Nasir Adderley (74th percentile S) – 90th overall (projected 28th overall pick)

Be it Andre Dillard or Jonah Williams or another OT he really covets, don't most believe that even given the opportunity Gaine won't move up in the first round because the
price of his first and a second are more than he's willing to pay ?
ATL drafting @ 14 & Washington @ 15 who have Jake Matthews & Trent Williams respectively at LT should mean if his LT is still on the Board he can reach him there.
Given the opportunity to make that move, what do you think he'll do ? I don't have a clue, nothing more than a pure guess ?

I agree no need to give up more than a 6th to move up and if no OT at 23 a corner should be. If O'Brien likes what he has, he could use later rounds for OT depth and 54, 55 and 86 for other spots. If no long term player at 23 a trade down with a team like NE or KC could bring more 2nd and third round selections. Example: 54 EDGE Ferguson, 55 CB Love 86 Damien Harris or OT/OG Scharping. Trade 23 to PATS for one of their round twos and two of their three thirds. Three additional guys in that range could be interesting.

Didn't catch this post....sorry about that. I do like reading your post(s) and would've been fine if you had Philly moving up to 23 while coughing up one of their RD2's or maybe both of the RD4's in conjunction with RD1-25. Didn't look at the chart before typing this but I'm sure the Zero pilots will be on this post in seconds stating you can't do this b/c the points don't match.
 
I don't focus much after round two on points but here are some thoughts. Some have suggested PATs trade up to get TE Noah Fant. It is quite possible that by #23 Greedy, Jonah, Dillard, Murphy and Cody Ford are gone.

NE trades 2.56 340 + 3.73 225 + 3.97 112 + 3.101 96 (total 773) to Houston
Texans trade #23 760 to NE

PATs 1.23 TE Noah Fant 1.32 DL either Jeffery Simmons [ACL 2018] or Jerry Tillery 2.64 WR Andy Isabella.
Texans 2.54 2.55 2.56 [NE] 3.73 [NE] 3.86 3.97 3.101
 
Thought it would be my last as it came together quickly couple days ago and it might be but-- knowing me and still several days left. No trades even though I still think 75 % chance Clowney traded. If so these picks should still hold:

1.23 CB Andreus Greedy Williams
2.54 OT Greg Little
2.55 CB Julian Love
3.86 RB Damien Harris
5.161 Safety Ben Burr-Kirven
6.195 CB Donnie Lewis
7.220 ILB Sutton Smith

No reaches with other mocks having player @ or within one spot higher (Little).
 
There are a bunch of teams looking to trade down in this draft. I’d keep an eye on Houston as possible partner to move up. They need OL help in a BIG way! They can’t allow Watson to keep getting hit like he did in 2018.

This could be a year where it wont cost as much to trade up due to more teams wanting to move down than up. Could be an opportunity to move up and get that franchise LT. Whether they have Dillard or Jonah #1 on their board DW4 will benefit!

I still think it’s a long shot to trade up. A team can use a Texans offer to sweeten a deal with Carolina or Minnesota and not have to move down as far. I keep hearing that the overall opinion is that the draft pool thins out in the late teens.

I hope we don't trade up. This draft has plenty of nice talent and we need that extra 2nd.
If anything, I would like to see us trade back. An extra second would be golden.
 
TheRealJoker said:
Only way we get an extra 2nd is if Clowney is involved.

I could see them gaining a 4th moving down a couple spots. Say swapping with Eagles at 25 so they can leapfrog Raiders to get Josh Jacobs?

Most ideas I have noticed around NFL circles center around extra picks so it's not just us who would love more from this draft and Texans need not only oline and DBs but depth as well.

Hence why I stated earlier it could cost less to move up. If everyone wants to move down they need willing partners. Supply and demand.

There are only a few reasons you move up in a draft. One is to grab a QB. Another is to grab an elite "can't miss" guy at another position other than RB, FB, P or K who happens to be a need. I don't see anyone in this draft other than the top three and we aren't about to move up that far.
 
Matt Miller's Scouting Notebook: Biggest Insider Rumors of the 2019 NFL Draft
renderTimingPixel.png

bleacherreport.com/articl...

• On the other side of the trenches, one of the fastest-moving names up the board is Boston College's Chris Lindstrom. There is even talk among teams that Lindstrom's ability to play well in an outside-zone-rushing scheme could put him in play as a late first-rounder.

• The cornerback class is polarizing this year, with five different orders if you talk to five different scouts. The first corner is expected to come off the board around pick No. 20, where the Pittsburgh Steelers could start a run of four or five cornerbacks to go in the first round.

• Clemson's defensive line will be well-represented on Day 1 of the NFL draft with three players expected to be selected. Clelin Ferrell, Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence are all seen as top-32 players in the class by the scouts B/R polled.

• Alabama offensive tackle Jonah Williams has been through the ringer this season, as his stock was at one point seen as rising then falling and now rising again. As we say on Stick to Football, time is a flat circle in scouting, and Williams is now back to being seen as a potential top-15 pick.

4. Stock up

The NFL Draft 400 project is a great learning experience, as you're forced to put a grade and a ranking on a player that will stick with him for his entire career. As we did this, Auburn's Jamel Dean kept rising through the rankings at cornerback.

At 6'1" and 206 pounds, Dean has excellent traits for the position, 4.3 speed and high levels of athleticism. Unfortunately, he played on a mediocre Auburn team and didn't get as many interception opportunities as the guys up the road at Alabama.

As we looked for players who had the traits and tools to excel in the NFL, Dean jumped off the page as a potential Day 2 player with starting-caliber ability.

I'm confidant that Gaine philosophically is opposed to moving up in the Draft which of course requires exchanging multiple picks for a single pick, but at this time given the beating that their franchise QB took last season don't you think that Gaine, O'Brien, & the ownership are willing to pay a premium for a LT prospect to significantly upgrade
Watson's protection at his most vulnerable time, i.e., pass-rush pressure from the edge on his blind side ?

I think Gaines play is to trade Clowney to get his LT and I think he has that in his pocket. As time passes he is hoping to get that plus an improved offer elsewhere. Example, he has #9 from Bills but wants more like a 4th round. And or say #6 and 37 from Giants. Perhaps # 4 from Raiders with all bringing Jonah. Game on.

I would be fine with that! Trade Clowney and his monster contract to get a franchise LT under team control for 5 years. Defense obviously suffers but DW4 is given the best chance to succeed. Which obviously gives Texans best chance to win.

We also don't know who will be there at pick #23. Could be a 3-4 OLB. Maybe the staff likes what they have in Ejiofor? His limited action looked impressive. (Obviously not at Clowney level but)

Trading Clowney for a top 10 pick and maybe a mid/late pick wouldn't be the absolute worst thing.

Not to dog on Clowney but protecting Watson is the most important thing for this franchise.

It’s the lack of a legit source. For Clowney to be moved, his agent would need to negotiate with the interested teams. If that were happening, it would leak. It hasn’t because his agent isn’t negotiating with other teams. That could change post draft. But nothing is going on now.

As of now Martin, like him or hate him we cannot look at just his PFF scores in that he had hot mess to his left with Kele and Rankin playing musical chairs. However here are some line options depending on how draft goes:

LT Davenport or Jonah LG Jonah or D or Rankin C Rankin or Jonah or Fulton

This can be muddied in a good way if Little or Scharping are drafted.

T Julie’n Davenport, Houston Texans
Key Signature Stat: 97.4 pass-blocking efficiency.
Houston’s oft-maligned offensive line actually ended up with the best pass-blocking efficiency of the weekend at 87.7. Trailing the entire game, they were forced to drop back 57 times, and they allowed a relatively low nine total pressures (six hurries, two hits and one sack).
Davenport struggled throughout the year, but he had by far his best game on Saturday. He was Houston’s most effective run blocker and only allowed two hurries on the day.

pretty damn good according to PFF.
Click to expand...
I have consistently posted Davenport will get better as he gets some NFL experience and if one considers that without ranting "he sucks" we might get a clue on how team may build. First, I think Clowney will be traded (75%) but bringing Jonah in as a result of that trade at 50-50. More so than usual it seems to me the top six or so teams are all over the place in their selections or at least "experts" say so. Just today I read of two faints by top two Arizona & SF barring huge offers to replace them, instead of going QB Murray and DE Bosa selecting different player and filling team needs.

What if Coach thinks Jonah could fall to 23 and knows he can select players like Little or Scharping to push replace Davenport if Jonah isn't there? Would he risk using capital from a Clowney move to bring in high value guys? If Quennen WIlliams is available at say # 9, would he use that pick from a Clowney trade? It's unlikely QW there but what an awesome player. Scenario, Bills cannot imagine QW falling and/or prefer Clowney so draft falls like this:

1. Murray goes whether AZ or a trade up. 2. SF jumps on Bosa 3. Jets pass rusher Josh Allen 4. Raiders (Clowney?) need a pass rusher and while Quennen got 8 sacks it was due more to rest of team. He is more of a Watt type in being able to diagnose play but inside guy and I'm not worried about his having difficulty maintaining weight. Heart concern or not OLB Montez Sweat could go here 5. TBay almost all mocks have LB Devin White 6. Giants (Clowney?) Qb Haskins 7. JAGs again almost all have RT Taylor 8. Lions TE Hockenson 9. Bills Clowney Texans select Quennen Williams.

In this scenario Texans also pick up a day two pick then get Greedy Williams #23. *interestingly more and more "experts" have this Williams dropping due to "unwillingness to tackle". NFL Chad Reuter has Greedy at #51 with Texans taking Baker 23; Kiper and McShay have Greedy # 29. Read this

WEAKNESSES
Much better straight-line player than lateral athlete. Shows hip tightness from press. Overreacts with feet to initial moves from press and can be knocked off balance by a clever release. Footwork and patience from press must improve or teams will match him up against quickness to test him. Missing fluid hips to open and run. Allows early separation in tight quarters and a clean passing window against crossing routes. Had no interceptions this year and just three for his career. Appeared to be a more fiery competitor in 2014. Would like to see him step downhill harder after run diagnosis rather than waiting for play to get to him. Can be a playmaking run-thumper on one play, but then passive the next.

Shutdown CBs are like that sometimes. Deion Sanders was horrible at tackling. People are just afraid they are getting a Phillip Buchanon type instead of a shutdown CB. That’s fine let Greedy fall to 23 :)

I'm tired of having CBs that are better tacklers than pass defenders. Especially when they are too small to move to safety. I liked Kevin Johnson because he came into the league as a cover corner & looked like it as a rookie. But I think it's best for his health that he moves on.

As far as Jonah Williams, or Andre Dillard. If we end up with one of those guys, guys expected to start day 1 at LT, I'm all for it.

But I don't want to try to replace Davenport with a guy "suited to play Guard" or RT. I'd much rather take the best Center off the board.

Very well stated, if my corners can take out the best WRs, well dang that makes 2019 very interesting. I can hear our Dline smacking their chops. Many besides me taking Julian Love day 2 another man covg take opponent out of game. Even better is a Love like Clifton Duck who might be UDFA. I seem to be only who watched him play.

Agree.

Obriens thought process leads him to favor those 'jack of all trades master of none players.'

Like you say, draft the best LT not the second best who can also play guard if needed.

If the best LT isn't available draft the best player at another area of need. We have several of those.

Montez Sweat stock bottomed out due to team medicals. Have heard from a few clubs that have him off the board. Of course it only takes one team, but the expectation now is he will drop. Could fall out of Round 1

Note from @AlbertBreer on the Texans

"I could see them trading up to get in position to take one of the top 3 OTs, or trading down to position themselves for Tytus Howard or Greg Little"

IMO, Howard will be off the board before the first 10 picks of rd 2 https://t.co/k9ZUkzO0w4

This makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't trade up and if the guy we want isn't there, trade down into the early 2nd and take Howard/Risner. (Assuming Risner is there in the 2nd)
