The Actual And Real 2016 Texans' Talk Mock Draft Extravaganza

[infantrycak]

He took Higgins last round. Give him Cole Toner - OT, Harvard. That's the next guy on his list.

Done. Y'all are way f'n up my weekend chi.

Wth though? Was in line at the pharmacy today, behind a guy I thought was an 'adult' 15 years older than me - turned out he was a year younger.

I'm still trying to understand 40 about to hit 50

 

[WolverineFan]

bah007 sent me his picks

With the 192nd pick, Buffalo selects Steve Longa - ILB, Rutgers

@JB is up now although I think he sent his pick to @Mollywhopper

 

[Mollywhopper]

The Tennessee Titans select ...

Tom Hackett, P, Utah

 

[Marshall]

KIDS.

 

[Texian]

The Tennessee Titans select ...

Tom Hackett, P, Utah

That's 2 in row I lost. You expect it early on but not so much in the last rounds.

 

[JB]

Shishkabob is up and then the Texans pick

For the sake of keeping things moving since I won't be here, and this late in the draft im a little out of my element just give the Raiders the top dl prospect or kick returner on the board come their pick I'll be back late tonight or tomorrow

 

[JB]

So give him somebody and for the Texans I nominate Bralon Addison WR Oregon... for when Fuller don't pan out as planned

[WolverineFan]

He wanted best DL or return guy so I'd say Adam Gotsis or Jakeem Grant

 

[Mollywhopper]

Gotsis and Grant both reek of Raider.

Anyone want to decide, big tough Aussie lineman or short bullet fast return guy?

 

[JB]

how about short tough Aussie return guy

I would give him Gotsis

 

[Say Watt]

Thanks for selecting for me. Ended up being a chaotic day at work, and I was never able to hop on. Would have messaged someone last night, but it was unexpected what happened today.

 

[Mollywhopper]

how about short tough Aussie return guy

I would give him Gotsis

Jarryd Hayne is taken. There's still the very fast German WR/return guy, though ... Moritz Boehringer

At any rate, I agree with Gotsis for the pick.

 

[Lucky]

Let's do it:

With pick #194, The Oakland Raiders select:

Adam Gotsis, DT, Georgia Tech

 

[Lucky]

Your Houston Texans are on the clock. I guess we'll take nominations through the weekend or until we get a healthy quorum.

I'll nominate Ian Seau, OLB, Nevada. A try hard guy that reminds of John Simon with more athleticism. Great bloodlines (Junior's nephew) and very productive.

 

[Mollywhopper]

For the Texans I nominate Antonio Morrison, ILB, Florida.

Yes, he's a lunatic. But he might just be that right measure of lunatic.

 

[JB]

for the record

for the Texans I nominate Bralon Addison WR Oregon... for when Fuller don't pan out as planned

 

[beerlover]

How about a small school, under the radar, OT that will develop in system.

Nick Ritcher, Richmond, 6-5 300
Father (Jim) played 16 years in NFL, 14 years as starter in Buffalo. Pro day results: 40: 5.25, 5.27 | VJ: 29 | BJ: 8-10 | Short shuttle: 4.80 | Three-cone: 7.39 | Bench: 25

 

[thunderkyss]

For the Texans I nominate Antonio Morrison, ILB, Florida.

Yes, he's a lunatic. But he might just be that right measure of lunatic.

Uh...

However, teams will have to check into his background due to two arrests (punching bouncer, barking at a police dog/resisting arrest) within five weeks in the summer of 2013.

Yeah, we need some of that. I second the nomination.

 

[Mollywhopper]

Uh...

Yeah, we need some of that. I second the nomination.

Yup, the benefit on the field is that he plays like a man who's been barking at a police dog. He can be the Texans' Vernon Maxwell.

 

[JB]

Didn't we go thru that with swearinger?

 

[Mollywhopper]

Didn't we go thru that with swearinger?

That's fair. How bout plays LB within the gameplan like a man who's not afraid to bark at a police dog.

And yes, there's risk. But it's also the sixth round. Not exactly the land of low-risk, high-reward prospects.

 

[Marshall]

Jason Fanaika DE tops my board, but if we want to take a FLYER, I'd go with Montz Boehringer WR/TE/KR Hybrid with an unusually high risk reward element that Molly mentioned.

 

[Marshall]

Uh...


Yeah, we need some of that. I second the nomination.

The upside is that we haven't had a new report after that bad summer. Maybe he learned something?

I've never read or seen Nick Ritcher play but if he's 80% of his dad he's well worth the pick.

I'm not going to weigh in on the Texns pick since New England is picking next. But I really like a couple of WR's for the Texans at this point.

 

[Texian]

For the Texans I nominate Antonio Morrison, ILB, Florida.

Yes, he's a lunatic. But he might just be that right measure of lunatic.

I see your Florida lunatic and I raise you a BIGGER Florida lunatic, Alex McCalister, OLB.

yeah seems like a natural Patriot or Bill. watching him led me to another player on Richmond, who lost to North Dakota State game before Carson Wentz returned to win FCS Championship, Jacobi Green. He is a 5'9" 209 hammer, between tackles who runs with urgency & surprising acceleration. Check this video out & tell me what you think? Non factor against NDS, which dominated Richmond, but make no mistake there are FCS players who are real gems & sleepers on these rosters.

Duke game - 27 carries 237 yards 5 TD's

 

[WolverineFan]

I'll nominate De'Vondre Campbell, OLB from Minnesota. 6-4, 230 and runs a 4.58 forty. Has all the athleticism you want for an edge guy but is raw and needs to be developed. He's a guy you could develop behind John Simon at SLB.

Good Hybrid LB/S prospect. See him more of a coverage guy because of hips & athleticism. Simon just needs to become more dominate with shedding blockers during his pass rush, they would compliment one another & both be core special teams players.

 

[TexansSeminole]

I vote D.J White, CB, GaTech.

Good speed, good instincts in man coverage.

I second this.

this is going nowhere

Looks like a stud to me. Better than any RB not named Miller on the current Texans roster. What rd do you think he goes in?

 

[beerlover]

Probably could add him to our priority Undrafted Free Agent list?

 

[The Pencil Neck]

So, this is where I see us right now, (although I may have Marshall's pick wrong):

Ian Seau, OLB, Nevada: Lucky
Antonio Morrison, ILB, Florida: Mollywhopper, thunderkyss, ThePencilNeck
Bralon Addison, WR, Oregon: JB
Nick Ritcher, OT, Richmond: Beerlover
Montz Boehringer, WR/TE/KR: Marshall
Alex McCalister, OLB: Texian
De'Vondre Campbell, OLB, Minnesota: WolverineFan, bah007
D.J. White, CB, Ga Tech: TexansSeminole


So, right now, it's Antonio Morrison unless we get some more votes or some people switch things around.

 

[beerlover]

My thoughts,

Love the name, Ian Seau, but makes me feel sad. I'm sure everyone is pulling for him to succeed.

Morrison looks small, too small to play ILB in a 3-4. Maybe hybrid safety, but that is pure projection.

Bralon Addison, is a returner first & foremost. Would like to see Fuller be that guy. He is undersized more quick than fast.

Moritz Boehringer, is intriguing. Hell of an upside, could be a homerun both as WR & Kick-off returns.

Alex McCalister, is very long & still has to fill in his frame, takes a while to get to full speed but his long speed is excellent for his size, very athletic.

DeVondre Campbell while not as long as McCalister, he is still long for position. Thing I noticed about him is his footwork, very good, but long term developmental & special teams player.

White is a solid CB prospect no projection here & what does Rick Smith say about DB's? Never have enough.

Pencil me in for Moritz instead of Ritcher. With Fuller (Shepard or Coleman) returning punts, Moritz can impact special teams returning kicks. Let him develop his receiving route tree & see how Texans respond/react to Strong thus covering your bases.

 

[Mollywhopper]

Moritz? ... Boehringer?

 

[beerlover]

Moritz? ... Boehringer?

time for bed, lol

 

[The Pencil Neck]

There are still some regulars who haven't chimed in.

Ian Seau, OLB, Nevada: Lucky
Antonio Morrison, ILB, Florida: Mollywhopper, thunderkyss, ThePencilNeck
Bralon Addison, WR, Oregon: JB
Nick Ritcher, OT, Richmond:
Montz Boehringer, WR/TE/KR: Marshall, Beerlover
Alex McCalister, OLB: Texian
De'Vondre Campbell, OLB, Minnesota: WolverineFan, bah007
D.J. White, CB, Ga Tech: TexansSeminole

 

[Marshall]

So, this is where I see us right now, (although I may have Marshall's pick wrong):

Ian Seau, OLB, Nevada: Lucky
Antonio Morrison, ILB, Florida: Mollywhopper, thunderkyss, ThePencilNeck
Bralon Addison, WR, Oregon: JB
Nick Ritcher, OT, Richmond: Beerlover
Montz Boehringer, WR/TE/KR: Marshall
Alex McCalister, OLB: Texian
De'Vondre Campbell, OLB, Minnesota: WolverineFan, bah007
D.J. White, CB, Ga Tech: TexansSeminole


So, right now, it's Antonio Morrison unless we get some more votes or some people switch things around.

At this point I'm willing to take a flyer based on upside potential over expected play, so you've got my pick right.

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Should we just call it in another couple of hours or wait until tomorrow morning?

 

[Lucky]

So beerlover passed on the slot TE he took in his mock for a German workout warrior? I know one Texan who will not be pleased with this.

 

[Lucky]

Should we just call it in another couple of hours or wait until tomorrow morning?

Do you think we can knock off some picks today if we call the Texans pick? If so I'm for it. Otherwise just wait until Monday.

 

[steelbtexan]

Who are we missing?

I'm here and to make the Pats pick when a consensus is reached.

About 5 gms that voted in the 5th. I doubt anyone would be upset if we called the pick and moved on.

I like one of the guys listed so it wouldn't be right for me to vote.

Go For It!

 

[Lucky]

With pick #195 of the 2016 Texans Talk Mock Draft, the Houston Texans select:

Antonio Morrison, ILB, Florida

 

[Lucky]

6-196. New England (steelbtexan) is on the clock

 

[steelbtexan]

I changed my mind and the Pats will not be picking any of the players listed above.

Give me Moritz
