Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
consensus is building to take Mathews in first.
can't agree on which cb to take in 2nd, Texans feel they have the players needed already in place.
OG list is growing out in third
so is DT list in fourth
intersting FS prospect this far down the line
remember Texans have two 6th's not 5th's, love Thurmond pick however
finish out center/tackle
nice job
1. Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
2. Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
3. Mike Johnson, OG, Alabama
4. Mike Neal, DT, Purdue
5. Major Wright, FS, Florida
6a. Walter Thurmond, CB, Oregon
6b. John Estes, C/OG, Hawaii
7. Boo Robinson, DT, Wake Forest
great if happens:1. Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
2. Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
3. Mike Johnson, OG, Alabama
4. Mike Neal, DT, Purdue
5. Major Wright, FS, Florida
6a. Walter Thurmond, CB, Oregon
6b. John Estes, C/OG, Hawaii
7. Boo Robinson, DT, Wake Forest
great if happens:
1 Mathews my guy
2. McCourty had him for a bit but I hear Detroit takes him #34. I have Ansah CB/FS/KR in 3rd. Leaning to OLB Washington in 2nd.
3. Johnson good pick & just may be here. Smith signed may delete need.
4. Neal good but I had Eric Olsen C as not sure Smith is C>OG.
5. Wright not here but Robert Johnson FS Utah 13 INTs 3 years.
You must have missed my posts for a while. As you know BeerLover, RMARTIN65 and I did a previous thread mocking Gerhart, but on the post -combine mock we are working on we have agreed that Texans comments about needing a "power back to move the pile, score in Red Zone and get short yardage" for two years have not ended with that type of back being drafted. Especially as UDFA Adrian Foster (that type of back) seemed to do fairly well last 3 games against so so competition. We have decided to go with Ryan Mathews who is the protypical back for this team. 5'11" 200 lbs 4.44 combine is hard to turn away from. His only "negative" is the college he came from.I thought Gerhart was your guy?

We hope to post our next mock soon but there is even more discussion on the players we think will fit, be available and still be someone the Texans would actually draft than our first mock. We must be a touch insane to put in the hours of research we do, but we three really love this part of the year.

I think that SD will trade up and try to get Mathews before the Texans can and by doing so the Texans go CB. Wade allows the Texans to not have to spend a pick so high on a OG. I think the Texans can get someone like Byers in the 5th to play either C or OG and push for either position in the season.
1. Joe Haden, CB, Florida
2. Geno Atkins, DT, Georgia
3. Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech
4. Major Wright, FS, Florida
5. Jeff Byers, C/OG, USC
6a. Myron Lewis, CB/FS, Vanderbilt
6b. Jason Fox, OT, Miami
7. Jay Ross, NT, East Carolina
Looks good. They've got some interest in Lewis, if he's there in the 6th thats a great pick. I can't see Ross falling to the 7th. I'd take him in the 4th! And stick with Kyle Wilson! Joe Haden will be gone.
Maybe Smith can call San Diego and say we are possibly drafting a RB in 2nd what will you give me to trade up for Mathews?I think that SD will trade up and try to get Mathews before the Texans can and by doing so the Texans go CB.
