This Mock Draft really fell my way this go round!!!!!!!
First…..I went back to the well by making deal with the Vikings. I wanted pick 23 back and to make that happen, I coughed up the Texans 2025 RD1…..which should be a fairly late RD1 pick, so why not?
1. MIN Gets: RD2-042 & 2025 RD1 / TEXANS Get: RD1-023 & RD4-129
2. GB Gets: RD1-023 & RD6-189 / TEXANS Get: RD1-025 & RD3-088

Okay….I feel like RT- Guyton was the best RT in the draft, and based on Howard’s uncertainty plus the current depth chart at OT, this helped me make the move. In almost every mock draft I do on PFN, Dallas or Green Bay select Guyton in RD1…..so I moved with the Vikings and got the pick back. I really rolled the dice by making the trade with Green Bay b/c I thought they were seeking a trade to draft Guyton, they didn’t, so I got my target and swapped a 189 for pick 88.
Next two picks netted DT’s Hall Jr and Smith. Hey Ryans….how’s that for shoring up the trenches?
Then I got a couple of super weapons for the offense in RB, Wright and WR, Gould. Stover is more of a familiar and steadying weapon for CJ.
I then put together what could become the pieces that made the Texans defensive backfield one of the best in the NFL with CB, Khyree Jackson, SS, Kitan Oladapo, and CB, Miles Battle.
I ended this draft by getting LT, Walter Rouse who was the starter opposite Guyton. Rouse wouldn’t have to have his development rushed if Tunsil could stay healthy, but the Texans would potentially have Tunsil’s replacement on the roster should he eventually price himself out of the Texans price range.
