I'd still be very satisfied if the Texans could secure both Mullen and Johnson in the draft. I just think both could be gone before RD2-22 & 23.

I'm kinda like the same line of thinking - get a known quantity from FA on both sides of the ball and a couple of solid rookies on both sides of the ball and that should make this team better.

It's typically a 5-6 month recovery. Once well repaired, reinjury is unlikely, and performance should return to pre-injury level.

The problem is that you're signing the player for 4 years, but only getting 3 years of service. Sheffield is already a bit of a project, so it doesn't make sense.

Is the player insured through the league when this happens at the combine?

Murphy is the only corner I would give a first round grade to. Don't care what his forty is, he doesn't waste steps, transitions well, put together so really feel minimizes any injury concerns next level (high importance to me) carries himself like a polished pro, just love him and will be in my final cut for #23.

He's so small and after the KKo experiment I would pass. I really like him though.

INDIANAPOLIS — Here are five risers, fallers and sleepers after combine drills and interviews over the past five days:

Risers

Montez Sweat, edge rusher, 6-6, 260, Mississippi State

After putting together an impressive Senior Bowl, he blew away scouts with his 4.41 speed and athleticism. He can play end in a 4-3 or outside linebacker in a 3-4.

Quinnen Williams, DT, 6-3, 303, Alabama

A classic 4-3 tackle whose 4.83 speed got everyone’s attention. He’s quick, strong, agile and maintains balance. He should have solidified himself as a top-three pick.

D.K. Metcalf, WR, 6-3, 228, Mississippi

An athletic freak with outstanding size and 4.33 speed. He benched 225 pounds 27 times, which was more than a lot of linemen. His vertical was 40½. Should be the first receiver drafted.

Noah Fant, TE, 6-4, 249, Iowa

Projected as a low first-round pick behind teammate T.J. Hockenson, also a tight end, entering the draft. He ran crisp routes, showed soft hands and impressed with his 4.50 speed and athleticism.

Devin Bush, LB, 5-11, 234, Michigan

After his combine performance, he should be a first-round pick. Incredible athlete who ran a 4.43, had a 40½-inch vertical and benched 21 times. A three-down player who’ll excel sideline to sideline.

Fallers

Jachai Polite, EDGE, 6-3, 258, Florida

Ran a 4.84 40 and pulled up with a hamstring injury. Some scouts said he wasn’t impressive in his interviews. He’ll need a lot of improving before the Gators’ pro day to stay in the first round.

Elijah Holyfield, RB, 5-10, 217, Georgia

After running a 4.78 40-yard dash, he’ll need to get a lot faster at his pro day. He was strong (27 reps), but only one back ran a slower time.

Greg Little, OT, 6-5, 310, Mississippi

He may have fallen out of the first round, but he can rebound at his pro day. His 5.33 time was slow. His 25-inch vertical was bad. He didn’t do the bench press.

Nate Herbig, G, 6-3, 335, Stanford

He’s a mauler who doesn’t have a lot of quickness and speed. His time in the 40 was 5.41.

Lil’Jordan Humphrey, WR, 6-4, 210, Texas

He was one of the slowest receivers with a 4.75 40. A lot of tight ends ran faster. Some scouts don’t like the way he uses his body to make catches.

Sleepers

Zedrick Woods, S, 5-11, 205, Mississippi

The fastest player at the combine ran a 4.29 40-yard dash. Going into the combine, he was considered a low pick or an undrafted free agent. That kind of speed might have made him some money.

Jamel Dean, CB, 6-1, 205, Auburn

He came out of nowhere and could be shooting up the rankings. Ran a 4.30 40 and had 17 reps on the bench press, impressive for a cornerback. His performance may have catapulted him into the second round.

Isaiah Johnson, CB, 6-2, 208, Houston

Not many cornerbacks have Johnson’s combination of size and speed. He’s now on every scout’s radar because no team can have enough corners. Only three corners ran faster than Johnson.

Maxx Crosby, DE, 6-5, 255, Eastern Michigan

Showed scouts how well he moves with a 4.66 40 and a 6.89 3-cone still. Had a 36-inch vertical. Could play outside linebacker in a 3-4.

Ryquell Armstead, RB, 5-11, 220, Temple

Good size and strength (22 reps on bench press) to go with 4.45 speed. Has good hands and lots of power.

I was responding only to the injury question, not his NFL Draft value.

As far as injury at the Combine, it is my understanding that the players must pay for personal injury insurance during that period or sign a release. They usually cannot obtain/collect on a separate loss of value insurance policy to cover the Combine only unless drafted {i.e., if not previously covered for such).

With his size and speed, there is a reason he's like the #15 rated CB

Yep, and it's not talent. He was supposed to be the next great CB at Ohio St. before injuring his ACL/Meniscus in high school. Transferred out to Auburn got injured again, stayed healthy the last 2 seasons and played well.

I would probably spend a 3rd on him. A 4th would be more comfortable but since the Texans dont have a 4th I would take the risk. The guy is very talented and has stayed healthy the last 2 yrs. I didn't realize he's that fast. He had a very good yr last yr, if healthy he's a steal in the 3rd.

Deandre Baker:

Poor work ethic, barely showed up for Combine training, hot/cold attitude, coach-ability. All what I or others at TDN have heard dating back to midseason. https://t.co/JHtq68PUMt

Devin White (LB) from LSU had a great combine. This is a player that can cover tight ends like Gronk and keep running game in check. A solid player for the Texans.

While he would be a great player for the Texans, he seems like a 1st rounder. So I think with our other needs he wouldn’t be an option for us.

Nothing damaging here. No Vince Young 6.

There's at 10 guys I've never heard of.

With all talent still left I would consider trading for a high 2 and 3 and 5. Use one of lower picks to move up in 2nd and get a db and the high 2 a wr
Oh wait the Clown thinks he is best defensive player in nfl and wants more than Mack or he has his feelings hurt and is getting back at Texans??
