There is just so many good players in the first three rounds that I do not see how he can mess it up.I have no idea, this is the first real draft Caserio has done. Last year's draft wasn't that bad, considering what it was, so just applying that logic I'd probably pick what's behind door number 2.

No way “we” are going to be satisfied with the File Clerk after this
I think Carstereo will respect Lovie's experience enough to confide in him about many of these prospects - especially those on D.I think (hope) that Nick is a better personnel evaluator than he is a head coaching evaluator. I know he has several misfires on personnel as well, but I actually believe he will do pretty well in this draft. Much of that optimism comes from the fact that Lovie Smith has enough experience, clout and respect that he can tell Nick he's wrong without fear of losing his job.
I think we will do great.
Thanks for the jinx! Gonna draft Ridder with 3. Breece Hall with 13 and Alec Pierce with 37 nowThere is just so many good players in the first three rounds that I do not see how he can mess it up.
Now we are reduced to grading the draft that hasn't happened yet? SMDH
“I just don’t understand why our team (nevermind all the other teams) just passed on ____. Sure he was accused of rape and murder just 24 hours before the draft. Freaking Easterby and Calhouns only want choir boys!”
I think I can answer for most (all) withOut of curiosity. For the posters who create mock drafts, read all the draft reviews and watch tape on college players. Over the years, what percentage of your mock drafts are correct? How often does the Texans picked the players you have them selecting?
Sad thing is, he was drafted by the Chiefs in the 5th rd and will be an MVP candidate for the next decade.

I had Aldon Smith in 2011. Cordarrelle Patterson in 2013. Terrell Suggs in 2003. Yeah, I would have been canned as GM more times than Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup.I got these correct. I wanted RS to trade back into the 1st for Matthews during the Cushing draft.
I also got the KJ pick right. It was pretty easy to guess the RS 1st rd picks. Look at position of need and RS was going to fill that need.
As much as I dislike Campbell's noodle soup.... there are soups out there with flavors I NEVER want to try.I had Aldon Smith in 2011. Cordarrelle Patterson in 2013. Terrell Suggs in 2003. Yeah, I would have been canned as GM more times than Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup.

At least the players in this draft and our draft picks for 2022 encourage that it could be number one.There's too much waffling going on in here. I'm making a commitment & going with #1 GREAT!!!
So... 1,2,3 or 4?I feel like they ought to go CB and Edge in the first.
I dont watch college ball, I see a lot of talk about Neal being a can’t miss prospect, but at 3 I expect him to start at LT day 1 and that means Tunsil is wasted, and also makes us a keen seller in any trade of Tunsil.
I’d prefer we add those pieces to the D, which would go a long long way to fixing that side of the ball.
I’ve also seen some trade scenarios where we trade back, still before 13, add a 2nd and a future 1st, and still have someone like Thibodeaux and Sauce fall to us. That would be a nice return!
I feel like Krogers trucks just left and all the shelves are full. All the things that I have not been able to get in years are right there in front of me. Not only that but for once I not only have my paycheck cash in hand but a bonus amount of buying power.As much as I prefer Hamilton I would not be disappointed with a much needed Edge rusher, DT, WR or O lineman at #3. I've seen a mock where we got Hamilton at #13.
We have a looong shopping list. So many needs. I'm just glad we have the "where with all" to go shopping.
I don't put much stock (as in none) in anything gm's say pre-draft.

I want a ribeye but the quail entices. In the deli the barbecue ribs make nostrils twitch.
I am famished but just know that something will go wrong. As I walk to the checkout I'm excited but expect to be disappointed.
Thanks for this response and perspective. I can see the perspective of identifying the talent and seeing them flourish or fail in the NFL.I think there are three basic methods of creating a mock.
1. Post what other mocks have
2. Post what you think Texans will do
3. Post what you think Texans should do.
I have never done 1.
I tried 2 but found that frustrating.
I long ago went with 3 as much more satisfying as I can find players that I select, often before others recognize them and then watch those and others move up through the ranks and later do well in the NFL whether on the Texans or not.
I do not mock to have a correct percentage success. I mock as I like the research and review; discussion with others [most lol] here and elsewhere.
3 leads to very low success ratio.
That’s because only three of the registers are open. There is only one sacker. The lines are six people long with full carts largely of vegetables that the cashier can’t identify before she weighs them. Everyone ahead of you is paying with a check and don’t have adequate ID’s and have three kids each running around. Two don’t speak any Indo-European rooted language and the cashier with the purple hair and eyebrow and nose rings won’t quit gabbing. Then you hear thunder and lightening outside.I feel like Krogers trucks just left and all the shelves are full.

Yep, you messed up. You let the snickers bar at the checkout catch your eye at the last second and you blew the whole trip.I feel like Krogers trucks just left and all the shelves are full.

Well yeah okay but I did get the Snicker bar.Yep, you messed up. You let the snickers bar at the checkout catch your eye at the last second and you blew the whole trip.
Way to go BadBoy. You ruined our draft........
Well yeah. The Texans will get something to. Hopefully it’s not the crappy gum next to the snickers……Well yeah okay but I did get the Snicker bar.
When the Texans have the first overall pick in the draft, I've done really well. Outside of that, the only player I can remember them even obtaining, either through the draft or UDFA was Arian Foster. I had him going to the Texans in the 6th round but he went undrafted.Out of curiosity. For the posters who create mock drafts, read all the draft reviews and watch tape on college players.

Yep I nailed it with David Carr & JDC, however the year that the Texans took Mario # floored me !When the Texans have the first overall pick in the draft, I've done really well.

I stopped making mocks I'd say back in '17 or '18. Now all I do is the mock simulator.
That draft was amazing.In Lovie we Trust! With 7 picks in the top 108 picks, this should be the Texans' best draft ever. Should easily surpass the Texans' best previous draft, Charlie Casserly's 2006 draft.
7 picks ought to get us 3 players.In Lovie we Trust! With 7 picks in the top 108 picks, this should be the Texans' best draft ever. Should easily surpass the Texans' best previous draft, Charlie Casserly's 2006 draft.
Well if we trade away 2 or 3 2023 draft picks that could get us up to 4 maybe 5.7 picks ought to get us 3 players.
7 picks ought to get us 3 players.
To clarify that was only one POVFrom the article: "Nystrom: Infrastructure draft. This is the draft where you load up on offensive linemen and front-seven guys."
