Doppelganger
None
We all deal with losses differently. Doppelganger makes dopplemocks. I know its too early, but why not? Yes, its only 1 game in, but it is never too early for a mock. Also, I have forgotten and am too lazy to look up if the Texans have late round picks or if they were traded away.
1. Jared Goff, QB, California, 6’4, 210lbs, 4.69
Hoyer or Mallett. Neither probably is the guy. Savage looks like a quality backup to me. Time to get the QB that QB Guru Bill O’ Brien needs. The 26-27-60 rule ( I believe) was voiced by former Chronicle Writer John Lopez. He postulated that if a player received a 26 on the Wunderlich, 27 starts(2 years plus), and 60% passer completion rating he had a better than average chance of developing into a good NFL quarterback. Obviously it has its flaws and there are outliers, but on the surface it makes sense. According to this rule, here are the QBs who will likely qualify: Goff, Kessler, Hogan, and Golson. Personally I like Goff. Had a 60.4% passer rating in 2013 and a 62.1% in 2014. TD: INt ratio went from 18:10 to 35:7. Has good size an ideal pocket passer with a good arm. Can move around. I think he is the right QB for the bOb system.
2. Braxton Miller, WR, Ohio State, 6’2, 215lbs, 4.60
I was very impressed with Miller at the WR position. He showed he has true playmaking ability at that position. He carried the ball 6 times for 62 yards, and caught two passes for 78 yards. While this may not seem like much, he is going to become a much bigger part of the game plan by week. His athleticism, hands, and ability to get separation reminds me of a bigger version of a Hines Ward.
3. Kenyan Drake, RB, Alabama, 6’1, 211lbs, 4.54
It would be awful nice to be able to run the ball with some effectiveness. Without Foster, the Texans have virtually no running game. In the preseason, the 49ers stonewalled the Texans on the goal line. On a 4th and 1, the Texans lost yardage on the ground. Drake can solve that problem.
4. Kevin Byard, S, Middle Tennessee, 5’11, 207, 4.59 While the Texans have a solid group of corners, the safety position leaves much to be desired. Enter small school gem Byard. He has recorded 4,5, and 6 ints the past three seasons with 4 returned for a touchdown. He is the kind of guy who always seems to be in the vicinity of the football.
5. Josh Tupou, NT, Colorado, 6’3, 325lbs, 5.00
A young rotational NT who can learn to play the position from one of the best in Wilfork.
6. Tyler Marz, OL, Wisconsin, 6’5, 321lbs, 5.40
You can never have enough good OL and Wisconsin has become an OL factory. Wisconsin OL tend to have excellent technique and work hard. Needs to improve his pass protection but would be a great addition at OG or RT.
7. Barry Sanders, RB, Stanford, 5’10, 198lbs, 4.55
Man. The steal of the century. Possibly one of the greatest running backs of all time and to get him here in the 7th. Wait, didn’t Barry go to Oklahoma State and get drafted in 1989?! Oh crap, this is his son. Oh well, maybe he can return punts and kickoffs. All kidding aside, THIS Barry Sanders is a solid player and would be a good change of pace back to compliment Drake.

with boilermaker football acume, puppeteering his craft, in the name of McNair, duping coaching staff after coaching staff into believing he knows exactly what a draft grade is & how to analyze/project College to NFL prospects forward (had to edit some juice). Would take a Dopplemock anyday of the week over what's being served down under Kirby St. Bunker
