2012 Texans Talk Mock Draft

The Detroit Lions Select: Cordy Glenn, OL, Georgia

Also a mountain of a man @ 6'5", 346 pounds. Great combine numbers to go along with his extensive career at UGA.

"Glenn started 50 games along the offensive line at Georgia, tied for the most in school history with Clint Boling (4th round pick by Cincinnati in 2010). Of those 50 starts - 28 came at left guard, 18 at left tackle and four at right guard. Some feel he's best suited to the the interior of the offensive line."

The Lions have alot of needs, and on the o-line is a couple of them. I think the Lions are expecting to have Jeff Backus back for a couple more seasons @ LT. This will allow Glenn to play guard or right tackle.

Seems like a good pick. I considered Glenn for the Browns, but they need a RT more than a guard. Guard would be a luxury pick for them at this point.

I PM'd Stingray.
24- Steelers- Stingray
25- Broncos- JCTexan
26- Texans- Group Selection
27- Patriots- Beerlover
28- Packers-nytexan
29- Ravens- WolverineFan
30- 49ers- Rey
31- Patriots- Beerlover
32- Giants- KMG 365

I think he could play RT if they wanted him to.

The Lions guards are Rob Sims, Stephen Peterman and Dylan Gandy. Who? Exactly. Their LT (Backus) is a FA and their RT (Cherilus) hasnt worked out as expected when they took him in the first round.

He seems like a good kid. No injury history and played in the SEC trenches. I think he would be a great addition as a first round pick for alot of teams.
 
With the 24th pick the Pittsburgh Steelers select DL from Mississippi State Fletcher Cox. The Steelers just cut Aaron Smith and Casey Hampton is getting old. At 6'4" and 295 lbs, Cox will probably play DE in a 3-4 defense but if he gains some weight he can move to the "0" technique.

Nice pick because i think they are really hurtin at the 5 .
 
Good pick. If he made it to the Texans group pick, I would have voted for him.

My board is cropping up with D linemen here at the end of the 1st. I hope a certain one makes it to 37... :D
 
My draft board just got destroyed in the last 5 or so picks.

Eh, Konz is still on the board, he could fit the Ravens alright. Tannehill is still out there if you aren't sold on Flacco :D

Would you have taken Mike Adams if he was there? I have been reading on some sites that Adams stock is falling to 2nd round grade due to his combine performance. I still like him, but I find it odd that he would drop about 20 spots due to splits times and such.

No, would take him in the 2nd but not the 1st.
 
With the 25th pick the Denver Broncos select...

Devon Still, DT, Penn State.

Comes fast and hard off the snap. Will work through the whistle. Tries to swim past his man when there is room to maneuver, bothering the quarterback. Effective taking on two blockers and flashes some quickness outside on twists. Most productive against the run when slanting into the action. Strong at the point when keeping his pads low. The Broncos need defensive line help.

Fletcher Cox would have been the pick here if he didn't go one pick sooner.
 
And the Houston Texans are now on the Clock! Group Selection time.

Yep. I hate to say it, but I think Mark Barron SS from Alabama might be the best selection here. I do like the idea of gettin Jerel Worthy as a new NT. I'm torn, someone else comment...

Guys I would consider:

Mark Barron SS 6'1½" 223 Alabama
Jerel Worthy DT 6'3" 305 Michigan State
Nick Perry DE 6'3" 250 USC
Rueben Randle WR 6'4" 208 LSU
Peter Konz OC 6'5" 315 Wisconsin

Randle or Konz, IMO. Randle would be the consensus pick for me right now, but if we lose Myers in FA I think you have to take Konz here and go WR in the 2nd.

If we're drafting under the assumption Chris Myers is gone then I would go Konz here. Keep the O-Line strong.

I agree but I'd vote for Randle if he's available though. Guard/Center/Nose Guard are next up.
 
Stephen Hill-WR
Peter Konz-C
Jerel Worthy-DT

I think it comes down to these 3 guys, all best available at their positions. We'll never get a consensus agreement so either someone needs to take the Texans in the draft to make the pick or post a poll.
 
I like Konz because he can play both Center or Guard so if we lose Myers or Brisiel. If we dont lose them he will be a solid back up.

Others I would like are:
Fletcher Cox DE 6-4 295 Mississippi State
Alameda Ta'amu DT 6-3 337 Washington
Nick Perry OLB 6-3 250 Southern California
 
My vote is for Stephen Hill.

Dude even looks like a baby Dre!

bos_a_shill_b1_400.jpg

I dont see the Texans taking him with the 1st pick. FO is always saying they evail players based on game film, this kid has very little film plus they ran a run first offense that ran to opposite side of him because he was a subpar blocker.
 
Would like Konz but I'm tempted to take Nick Perry, dudes a beast and to pair him up with Cushing, Barwin, & Co...man think of that! I don't like Worthy, injury prone and didn't really WOW me when he played.

Or how about Devon Still from Penn State?

I just took Still with the Broncos pick.
 
I'd pick Konz because it'd be harder to find OL to fit our system, I really only like Konz and Molk for potential centers who can also play guard. Right now we're in a good position to get Konz so I would make that pick instead of gambling for Molk later

Molk is a pure C, IMO. Sure he could play G, but why would you want him to. I actually like Konz more at G for us.
 
Kontz= BPA
Kontz= Need

Pick should be a no brainer

If you want to try to hit a homerun then the pick is Hill. But Kontz is a HR on the OL.
 
Wow, this is draft is smoking along, well done everyone!!

I think it's moving along so wel because everybody had a team that they did research on before the Combine.

This is the best MB mock that I've participated in. Thanks everybody for putting forth the effort to know your teams and making your picks in a timely fashion.
 
I think you may be right if we all agree we'll lose Myers or Briesel or both .

That's the difficulty of the decision, isn't it? If Myers or Brisiel are gone the pick here is Konz (imo). If both are re-signed then the pick is Worthy or a WR (Randle or Hill). It looks like the consensus right now is Konz. Any objections before I make it official?
 
I'm against the Konz pick...I just watched some more clips of him and I'm not impressed...I'd much rather have Randle who looks like he will be a solid pro for years.
 
Pretty much comes down to whichever you think is a bigger need. If we lose Myers or Brisiel then OL is a bigger need than WR, in part because WR is deeper and a quality prospect could be acquired in the 2nd round.

If you believe we re-sign both OL guys then Randle should be the pick. If you think we don't then Konz should be the pick and take a WR in the 2nd.
 
Mark Barron would be a horrible pick.

Manning and Quin are good enough to get it done.

I am ok with Konz.

I would be looking at Perry just because pass rushers are king in the 3-4.

I think that we assume that Briesel or Myers is leaving, that we can't trust Caldwell and make Konz official.

We can get a decent WR later.

I'm voting for Perry (no not that one). It never hurts to have a bunch of good pass-rushers.

That may be true if you like Konz...I don't, so I don't care what the bigger need is...I wouldn't take him..

I think Zeitler is a better interior lineman (but Konz has more versatility), but he's off the board already...
 
I think we have as much agreement as we're going to get here.

With the 26th pick the Houston Texans select...

Peter Konz, OL, Wisconsin.

Not sure this would be a popular pick come draft day, even if we lose Myers and/or Briesel.

But you build from the inside out to win championships.
