Hall of Fame
First Round: Stephon Gilmore, Junior CB, South Carolina, 6010 194
Rangy, long wingspan, exhibits rare body control & ball skills for position. Loose hips, very good long speed in 4.4 range, physical in run support, has exceptional closing speed & instincts. Very similar to fellow alum Jonathan Joseph, would make bookend gamecocks.

Second Round: Melvin Ingram, Senior DE/DT, South Carolina, 6020 275
Stout, low build to the ground, very strong with athletic moves for a big. High motor Wade likes, passion for the game not afraid to mix it up inside & has multiple pass rush moves to beat defenders. Have a very good feel for this kid & think he is low risk high reward, like Brooks but more in the box.
Third Round: Arthur Brown, Junior ILB, Kansas State, 6010 230
I'm looking for a home run, nickle package cover LB with athletic ability to stop TE's & RB's in their tracks. Short area explosiveness, instinctual with nose for the ball. Texans should be willing to trade up top of third if still available & trade out of the 5th to do it.
Fourth Round: James Brown, Senior, OG/RG, Troy, 6040 312
Powerful, road grader with excellent feet who could also swing out to tackle. Small school I see him going early in the 5th but if Texans do trade back he could still very well be one of their targets. Has everything to compete at the next level & fight Brisel for the starting RG position as a rookie.
Fifth Round: Travian Robertson, Senior DT/NT, South Carolina, 6402 303
Sense a Gamecock theme? Well here is your nose, a more svelte than imagined but fits Wade Phillips parameters for position. Athletic & disruptive someone who fits in rotation. Good explosiveness should be a solid pro & fit here in Houston making his transition easier, fellow line mate Ingram.
Sixth Round: Jared Karstetter, Senior WR, Washington State, 6040 215
Texans gave up a 7th for Mason so this is backend heavy @ WR. The way the draft looks to fall Texans are out of position in both 1st & 2nd rounds to grab a legitimate difference maker so I think Rick Smith will effort to land a big time free agent & address WR need via this route. Basicly with this pick & Mason he's adding three camp bodies to compete with existing players. Of course there is no guarantee Karstetter is anything more that PS material but he is very smart (going to be a dentist) sure handed big WR who usess body well, above average blocker & effective red zone target. Very under rated & not well followed.
