2017 NFL Mock Draft

Here's what Charlie Campbell from Walterfootball.com has for the Texans in 2017:

Houston Texans: Raekwon McMillan, LB, Ohio State

The Texans grab a potential replacement for Brian Cushing.
McMillan (6-2, 240) played well in 2015. He totaled 119 tackles with 1.5 sacks and four passes broken up on the year. McMillan is a physical, tough defender at the point of attack. As a freshman in 2014, he played a lot for Ohio State and totaled 54 tackles with 2.5 sacks and a pick-six.


And here's what Walter has for us in 2017:

Houston Texans: Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State

The Texans were expected to target a replacement for Jared Crick in the 2016 NFL Draft, but never got a chance to.
 
More way too early fun...

cbssports:

15. Houston Texans

Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama: Brian Cushing is coming off a good year, but it was the first time in the past five seasons in which he made through all 16 games unscathed. The Texans could pair Foster as an explosive athlete to complement Cushing and last year's second-round pick Bernardrick McKinney.

si.com:

14. Houston Texans

Jabrill Peppers, S/LB, Michigan: Jim Harbaugh said Peppers might be the “Willie Mays of football”, and his two-way contributions no doubt will lead to ample Charles Woodson comparisons this season. The rising junior is an athletically gifted safety who actually is set to play linebacker in new defensive coordinator Don Brown’s scheme.

bleacherreport:

17. Houston Texans

O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama: The Houston Texans have been aggressive in addressing the offense this offseason by adding quarterback Brock Osweiler, running back Lamar Miller, and speedy wide receivers Braxton Miller and Will Fuller. The job is not done, though, and general manager Rick Smith must give head coach Bill O'Brien a top-flight tight end to run his complicated offensive schemes.

O.J. Howard flashed the kind of talent last season to be considered a potential first-round pick if he had entered the 2016 draft class. Instead, he went back to Alabama for a chance to be featured and a higher draft slot.

If he's on the board in 2017, Howard is the ideal fit to round out a very young, very talented offense.

sbnation:

15. Houston Texans

Lowell Lotulelei, DT, Utah: Houston didn’t address the defensive line until their last pick of the draft. With Vince Wilfork potentially entering the last year of his career, Lotulelei can be his replacement.

sportingnews:

17. Houston Texans

Davon Godchaux, DE, LSU: Houston needs to keep its defensive front-seven and especially its front-three a strength. The Texans need a nose tackle at some point, but they shouldn't pass up on a high-upside defensive lineman like Godchaux. He, like most LSU defenders, can either rise to the top-10 or flame out during his junior season, but Godchaux has a real chance to be great.

Can't wait for the 2017 draft...

to start mocking those 2018 hopefuls now...
 
The only thing I take from these mocks is where they have us drafting at....

Not liking their predictions for us this year...
 
They usually go off of Vegas odds, or something like it, for teams winning the upcoming Super Bowl.

Kind of a crap shoot at this time of year, and with us generally in the middle of the pack it seems reasonably ok.

Up until the couple of months (post combine at the earliest), all of these are just exercises in learning the names of prospects and understanding perceived team needs. and even with the players, these tend to fall into the category of the "most productive players from to 50 or so programs."
 
You didn't get the NFL's year-round memo?

It's just a continuous commencement-absurdity-stress-celebration-panic-absurdity-more celebration-more commencement-more absurdity-cycle.
 
I'm as big a draft nerd as anybody and so even though mocks in general are pretty useless I still enjoy them. But this early it is just meaningless. It's not even going to be an accurate description of the talent in the class. Remember the year we had the #1 pick and every mock had five or six QBs going in the first round? And then we get to the big day and it takes a trade on the back end just to get three in there.

Here is the WalterFootball guy's mock from January, just three months before the draft.

1. Tunsil (#13)
2. Goff (#1)
3. Lynch (#26)
4. Bosa (#3)
5. Buckner (#7)
6. Ogbah (#32)
7. Robinson (#46)
8. Hargreaves (#11)
9. Floyd (#9)
10. Smith (#34)
11. Jack (#36)
12. Fuller (#84)
13. Ramsey (#5)
14. Stanley (#6)
15. Treadwell (#23)
16. Billings (#122)
17. Thomas (#47)
18. Decker (#16)
19. Conklin (#8)
20. Cook (#100)
21. Ragland (#41)
22. Elliott (#4)
23. Tre'Davious White (Didn't even enter the draft)
24. Nkemdiche (#29)
25. Washington (#80)
26. Wright (#250)
27. Wentz (#2)
28. Calhoun (#75)
29. Alexander (#234)
30. Henry (#45)
31. Nassib (#65)

16 of the 31 first round picks in the real draft weren't even in his first round at all. And that's just three months away from the draft. 12 months is an impossible guess. You would probably have a better shot picking names out of a hat.

So mock away, by all means. I'll still read them of course. But there isn't any real information to be gained from them.
 
Obviously you can't take any of these seriously this time of year, but it's fun to see what the national pundits believe to be our positional needs. It also helps us to familiarize ourselves with the prospects. The draft and mocks are a year round endeavor, it's fun to dream about the future.
 
I'm okay with early mocks but prefer info on guys I should watch to add to my own list. No way can I be aware of all college players..
 
Here are my waaaay too early 2017 position rankings. It's very early, but I find position rankings at this juncture much more logical than a mock draft. Underclassmen are included because this next senior class is just not very good.

OFFENSE:
QB
1. *Deshaun Watson, Clemson
2. *Brad Kaaya, Miami
3. Chad Kelly, Ole Miss
4. C.J. Beathard, Iowa
5. Joshua Dobbs, Tennessee

- Weak crop. Watson is the top guy and he's a total project.

RB
1. *Dalvin Cook, Florida State
2. *Leonard Fournette, LSU
3. *Christian McCaffrey, Stanford
4. Kareem Hunt, Toledo
5. *Wayne Gallman, Clemson

- Should be deep again, especially if many of the underclassmen declare.

WR
1. *JuJu Smith-Schuster, USC
2. Mike Williams, Clemson
3. *Malachi Dupre, LSU
4. Travin Dural, LSU
5. Jehu Chesson, Michigan

- Very subject to change, not a great class.

TE
1. O.J. Howard, Alabama
2. Jake Butt, Michigan
3. Jordan Leggett, Clemson
4. *Bucky Hodges, Virginia Tech
5. Evan Engram, Ole Miss

- Excellent class at the top. Not a lot of depth though.

OT
1. *Roderik Johnson, Florida State
2. *Cam Robinson, Alabama
3. *Mike McGlincey, Notre Dame
4. Conor McDermott, UCLA
5. *Casey Tucker, Stanford

- Senior class is awful.

INTERIOR OL
1. Pat Elflein, Ohio State
2. Dan Feeney, Indiana
3. Ethan Pocic, LSU
4. J.J. Dielman, Utah
5. *Quenton Nelson, Notre Dame

- Senior class is pretty deep.

DEFENSE:
DT
1. *Malik McDowell, Michigan State
2. *Lowell Lotulelei, Utah
3. *Charles Walker, Oklahoma
4. Chris Wormley, Michigan
5. *Davon Godchaux, LSU

- Lots of high upside players.

DE
1. Jonathan Allen, Alabama
2. DeMarcus Walker, Florida State
3. Deatrich Wise, Arkansas
4. Kylie Fitts, Utah
5. Darius Hamilton, Rutgers

- Decent amount of depth, but limited star potential.

EDGE
1. *Myles Garrett, Texas A&M
2. *Derek Barnett, Tennessee
3. *Charles Harris, Missouri
4. Devonte Fields, Louisville
5. *Carl Lawson, Auburn

- Loaded.

OLB
1. *Josey Jewell, Iowa
2. *Anthony Walker, Northwestern
3. Skai Moore, South Carolina
4. *Marquis Haynes, Ole Miss
5. Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Tennessee

- Not very deep.

ILB
1. Kendall Beckwith, LSU
2. *Raekwon McMillan, Ohio State
3. Ben Boulware, Clemson
4. *Peter Kalambayi, Stanford
5. Vince Biegel, Wisconsin

- Solid group overall.

CB
1. *Jalen Tabor, Florida
2. Desmond King, Iowa
3. Tre'Davious White, LSU
4. *Adoree Jackson, USC
5. Cameron Sutton, Tennessee

- Deep and loaded class.

SAF
1. *Jamal Adams, LSU
2. *Marcus Williams, Utah
3. Eddie Jackson, Alabama
4. *Quin Blanding, Virginia
5. Tony Conner, Ole Miss

- Solid at the top, but not a deep class at all.
 
This should really put into perspective how terrible the TE class was this year.

Each of those top four TEs for next year would have had a shot to be the first TE drafted this year if they had declared.

Howard doesn't have the greatest tape but he exploded on the big stage in his last game. Plus he will look great in the combine setting.

Butt had the best tape of any TE in the country last year.

Leggett and Hodges both have limited tape but it looks really good for both, and they will both test very well also.

Don't sleep on Bucky Hodges. I think he's going to be drafted very high next year. Only six TEs have been drafted in the first round over the last ten drafts, and really only Eifert and Olsen ended up being worth the selection. The highest of those was Ebron at #10 a few years ago. If he continues on his current trajectory I think Hodges could make himself a first round lock.

Hopefully 2017 allows Texans to fill perceived needs. Even if some of 2016 picks are not as good as hoped, we can make up next draft. I could see OT, ILB, DE, CB, and Safety being targets.

This would be my list of way to early 2017 positional needs as well, although I'd add TE as well. It's scary how we can look to the future and see 2017 needs and this doesn't even account for 2016 season injuries.

Until Owen Daniels I was not much of TE believer, go with another WR. If day two or three of draft, a TE available, probably ok with that choice. If we don't have LT resolved by mid-season with someone that will be future at the position, IMO we almost have to go round one 2017.

Agree completely, I was shocked that no OT was taken this year. We need an upgrade at RT, and Brown could be a cap casualty in 2017. So yea almost assuredly OT in the 1st in 2017.
 
Just some comments about prior posts:

Deatrich Wise= I like him but think stats attributed to him by Profootball focus are incorrect. Stats for 2015 13 games were 31Ts, 10.5 FL, 8 sacks, 5 QB hurries, 3 PBUs and 3 FF. I thought at first PFF was using career stats at Arkansas but no.

Cam Robinson's arrest for MJ and felonious possession of firearm was about a week after PFF posted him as #2 OT and to Chicago #14. He might not be ranked as high now. Legal picture may not be clear for a while. I post this for some who may not be aware.

Also LT Roderik Johnson, Florida State retired as spinal stenosis diagnosed in early April:

The redshirt sophomore, who started three games last season, was diagnosed with congenital cervical stenosis, the same condition that ended the football careers of formerNew York Giants running back David Wilson and former Ole Miss quarterback Cooper Manning, the brother of Peyton and Eli Manning.

Johnson suffered a "stinger" in a scrimmage earlier this month, and after a recent MRI, outside specialists and team physicians recommended he retire from the sport.

Have done deeper research on Notre Dame's LT Mike NcGlinchey who is moving from RT to LT his senior season. I'm going to keep an eye on him.
A year ago at this time, McGlinchey was a novice along the Notre Dame offensive line with one career start at right tackle. Twelve months later, he is the centerpiece of a reconstruction along the line — and the heir to a left tackle tradition that in head coach Brian Kelly’s first six years at Notre Dame has had nothing but future first-round NFL Draft picks playing his new position.

In fact, over the last three decades, there has not been a single position at Notre Dame that has had more first-round glamour attached to it than left tackle.

McGlinchey is rangier than Martin was — which is part of the reason Martin plays guard in the NFL — and he is considered more of a road grader than Stanley. A star all-league basketball player as well in basketball-crazed Philadelphia, McGlinchey’s footwork could be comparable to his predecessors. His high school offensive line coach Ed Doyle (William Penn Charter) described McGlinchey as “the prototypical left tackle with long arms and really good feet.”
Fifth-year Fighting Irish offensive line coach Harry Hiestand met with McGlinchey in January about moving to the left side for two reasons. One was to find a comparable successor to Stanley. Two was to form a lethal left side, a la Martin and Chris Watt from 2011-13, with junior Quenton Nelson, who McGlinchey already describes as “one of the best guards in the country.”

I expect that the Texans OL will be a big disappointment this year. So much so it will cause the Texans to behave in a manner all to familiar, they will become desperate, panic and go for the quick fix. Therefore badboy I share the same thoughts you've about McGlinchey being a strong candidate to be the Texans 1st RD pick in the 2017 NFL Draft

so if I am reading you correctly, you don't think much of the player? Not sure if you are saying he is "quick fix" and good but not best choice?

No, I think he's an exceptional player and 1st RD draft pick. IMO I think the Texans will be in the same position they were in 2008 when everyone knew before the 2007 season was over that they would take a OT in the 1st rd in the 2008 draft.

ok got it. As of now, I am hoping lots of left tackles and defensive ends/tackles have a great 2016 and all come out if eligible. I might get greedy taking two of each in first four rounds. :bubbles:

Now, with the Texans only O-line draft pick (Martin, 2nd rd) from the 2016 Draft out, and possibly needing surgery, the Texans could be facing some real issues with the Offense this season and the word "disappointment" could be an understatement. Disaster might be the better word! Since we haven't heard anything about Brown's or Newton's return I'm going to have to assume we will start the season with Clark (LT), Su'a-Filo (LG), Mancz (C), Allen (RG), and Lamm (RT), with Aboushi and Bergstrom as backups. That's not a good situation heading into the season, especially with a new QB, RB, Rookie WR's, and a tough set of games early on. As it stands now, I fully expect the Texans to take at least 2 O-linemen early (first 3 rds) in the 2017 Draft. I don't watch a lot of College Football so I'll be relying on my usual sites WalterFootball, cbssports, etc... , and of course here! :)

I couldn't agree with you more, as badboy pointed out earlier, keep an eye on the Notre Dame LT for starters.

I said it before and after the 2016 draft, the Texans will regret not taking an OT in that draft. I agree with your statement completely. Let's all pray that Brown and Newton can return healthy and provide the protection Osweiller's going to need. I just shake my head and get mad when I think of the lesson the Texans apparently didn't learn from the Carr experience.
 
Just for fun:

yeah thanks. I just pulled the schedule from favorites for tonight but hadn't gotten thru today. My luck the guys I want move up and go before our pick. There are many tackles that should be available but IMO most are right side only. Mc should do well moving over to left and could be available late in first.

What are your thoughts now on Robinson from Alabama since charges were dropped as I expected? He was pretty much ranked as best OT this off season and he is only a junior this season. I don't see him falling to Texans. Hopefully he will stay away from MJ.

edit: almost forgot the # 15 UH vs #3 Oklahoma Saturday 11 am ABC should be interesting.

Sorry to say but I wouldn't be surprised to see McGlinchey become a Top 10 pick. Early reports on him is he's the meanest and plays with more attitude in the trenches than the rest. It's early, to early to tell but I do believe it will be the Year of LT draft for the Texans. I agree with Saban that Robinson while in in Louisiana was targeted for being an Alabama player.

2016 may be the yr Smith has to trade up to get a LT of the future.

I am not much of a fan of trading up in first due to costs and we still are in need in numerous positions. We need at least two OTs and maybe a center going into 2017 however I am hoping that successful returns of both Newton and Brown and a capable season by Mancz could change that. If this happens, I could see going tackle day two and going free agency for back up swing. Martin if healthy could back up Mancz while he works himself in. I am just not optimistic about medical prognoses.
 
I have to agree with BB, I hate the idea of trading up in the 1st round due to the cost and the fact that we'll most likely have lots of team needs to fill and will need every pick we can get. All of this is conjecture at this point and doesn't account for 2016 season injuries, but I'm thinking something along the lines of 1st OT obvious need on both ends of the line, 2nd ILB Cushings replacement, 3rd CB possibly Jonathan Josephs replacement, 4th OT/OG for the right end of the line or high quality depth, 5th TE, DT, or Safety but probably just BPA from here on. It's sad but I think we'll have more needs to fill in the 2017 draft than we did in 2016. Now we might be able to pick up a mid level ILB, CB, TE etc... (someone young with upside) in FA that can fill a hole or 2.

Give me a talent like Robinson over filling all of these needs. If you're lucky Brown makes it back and Robinson learns his rookie yr at RT.

My theory is only 2-3 rookies will make an impact on the roster each draft and later in the draft you get talented developmental/ST's guys like Dillon/Reader. So trading up like Smith did last yr to fill the biggest hole for the future on this team should definitely be an option.

I think Nelson can fill the role of developmental CB and if Bullough continues to improve he could be the answer for the Cushing replacement.

If they dont trade up and OJ Howard falls to them he would be my pick. That guy is a stud.

My initial thoughts after watching McGlinchey for half is he looks like a pretty good Guard.
Click to expand...
Exactly what I was going to post but got caught up in another thread. As long as opponent is in front of him, he is..uh..okay. I'll keep watching him this season but not impressed. Did you see him in first quarter unblocked and into secondary where he ran into two DBs (maybe ILBs) and went down like Watt hit him? The DBs didn't try to block him just stood there. Still, only his first game at Left.

Things can change but left tackle looks weak.

I've been focusing on DT Isaack Rochell 6'3.5 290 ND who has been constantly in Texas backfield. Even if slowed he still manages to work to the ball.
 
I didn't see anything special from McGlinchey in that game. He's definitely not a pro LT. Perhaps a RT.

NT Jarron Jones gets all the hype for the Notre Dame DL but Rochell was the far better player yesterday. He was all over the Texas backfield. JR LB Nyles Morgan was all over the place also. Outside of those two, I was surprised by the lack of talent on ND's defense. CB Cole Luke looked okay but nothing special.

And Kizer looked pretty good.

I thought McGlinchey looked better in the loss to Michigan State. I have not written him off yet as he is looking at game four as the left tackle.

Jarron Jones not impressive so far but in three games Rochelle has 16 tackles with four for loss and 4 hurries. He seemed to always be near the ball against Michigan State.

DJ Jones Ole Miss nose looked fairly good against Alabama and is my 5th round pick 2017.

NFL Mock Draft - 11/7/2016

24. Houston Texans

HOU.png

(5-3) Lowell Lotulelei, DT, Utah: The Texans have quietly assembled one of the better young rosters in the NFL. One of the obvious exceptions is at nose guard, where the aging (34) and increasingly rotund (listed at 325) Vince Wilfork is still eating up blocks. Like his older brother, Star, Lotulelei offers power and bulk at the point of attack and could earn early-round consideration if he continues to develop.

Like his older brother, Star, Lotulelei offers power and bulk at the point of attack and could earn early-round consideration if he continues to develop.

I don't see the Texans going NT in the 1st round, they picked DJ Reader in the last draft and I think he's the future of the position. The Texans may pick a lower round NT for depth though. I'm hoping we take an OT in the first if one of the few good ones somehow falls to us, it's not a good year for O-line prospects, or possibly a TE since it's a good TE draft. A Safety in the 1st isn't out of the question either, good year for Safeties and CB's.
