Rd.1 David Long CB Michigan- This dude has the ability to play inside or outside. I like him before the Combine and after talking with Wolverine Fan I looked at him more seriously as a possible pick at 23. It doesn't surprise me that he tore up the combine. Athletically he checks all of the boxes and he has the uncanny ability to mirror routes and know when a pass is coming his way and get a hand in to breakup passes.
Rd.2 Dexter Lawrence DT Clemson- This guy moves so well for a guy his size. He's not just a run stopper, he can get penetration up the middle that the Texans defense was so sorely missing last season. The criticisms of Lawrence remind me of the ones they made about Wilfork when he was coming out. Lawrence is going to be a long time starter in the NFL.
Rd.2 Kaleb McGary OT Washington- Huge mountain of a man with great feet and surprising quickness. Has to improve is hand placement and not play so upright but he's a 10 yr starter in the NFL.
Rd.3 Jamel Dean CB Auburn- One of the most talented CB's in this draft, Dean is a 1st rd pick without his injury history ACL/Meniscus in high school. Another knee injury at Auburn, but has stayed healthy and produced well the last 2 yrs.
Trade Alert- The Texans trade their 2019 5th and 2020 3rd to the Patriots for the Pats 4th rd pick.
Rd. 4 Antione Wesley WR Tx Tech- At 6'4.5 and 206 Wesley has great quickness in and out of his breaks. He's got the high and leaping ability to be a major RZ weapon and enough speed to stretch a defense. The only reason he falls this far is because he needs to add weight and strength, which he should be able to do with a NFL S&C program. Dude is very talented.
Rd. 6 Kendall Sheffield CB- Ohio St. Fastest CB in the draft. Sheffield has the ability to be a starter some day and only falls this far due to a torn pec. Good news is he should be healthy by the start of the regular season. Sheffield is very talented and a mold of clay for a good DB coach to work with.
RD.7 Darwin Thompson RB Utah St.- Thompson is short 5'8 but a strong short yardage bull. at 210 lbs he's like tackling a bowling ball. He also can catch the ball out of the backfield and will be a really good ST's contributor. He's got great quickness.
You ask what? Steel B with only 1 OL in his mock, has he gone crazy? Nope, I have Gaine signing Trent Brown in FA. An ol of Brown/Rankin/Martin/Fulton/McGary with Kelemete/Mancz/Henderson/Davenport should be solid enough to protect Watson and get the offense where it needs to be particularly with Fuller coming back and adding Wesley.
Thoughts?
