2024 / Rebuilding Block 4 After Playoffs / Texans
First, I wanted to get a feel for where the the Texans might finish the 2019 season to get a better feel as to where they might be positioned for the 2020 NFL Draft.
Next, I looked at some sites to get a feel for projections. I'm listing the ones as I saw as the most reasonable at this point.
TANKATHON for the most reasonable draft position. They have the Texans drafting 57 in RD2 which equates to them finishing with the 25th best record in the NFL. At the moment, I could agree with this since a 10-6 or 11-5 finish could put them in this window.
LANCE ZIERLEIN / NFL projected the Texans to have 2 COMP Picks in RD3 (Jackson & Mathieu) and another COMP Pick in RD7 for Covington. I don't think he took into account the signing of Roby and it negating one of the RD3 guys. I agree with a RD7 for Covington.
I wanted to look at another source for COMP Pick positioning since it appears a few teams could be gaining RD3 COMP Picks.
OVER THE CAP had decent projections for COMP Picks and where teams would fall in those rounds. They had the Texans gaining 2 picks in RD3 for Mathieu / Jackson and a RD7 for Covington. What was interesting, they had another possible RD7 going to the Texans for Lamm......not so crazy based on the amount of starts he had over a couple of seasons. It now appears that the Roby pick-up could negate the RD7 COMP Pick for Lamm. I like that scenario much better.
Projections have 10 RD3 COMP Picks, 6 RD4 picks, 3 RD5 picks, 3 RD6 picks and 12 RD7 picks.
So the projected order I pretty much agree with:
RD1-25-025: Miami (Trade for Tunsil)
RD2-25-057: Texans
RD3-25-089: Cleveland (Trade for Johnson)
RD3-34-098: COMP Pick (Mathieu / LZ NFL & OTC Projection)
RD3-43-107: COMP Pick (Jackson / OTC Projection)
RD4-04-111: Texans (From Miami)
RD4-25-132: Texans
RD5-25-170: Texans
RD6-25-206: New England (Trade For Crossen)
RD7-25-242: Texans
RD7-37-254: COMP Pick (Covington / LZ NFL & OTC Projection)
Roby pick-up negates the RD7 COMP Pick Lamm move in FA according to OTC.
OK, this is the layout.......picks are coming next. Feel free to comment or offer modifications to the projected picks.
