The Actual And Real 2016 Texans' Talk Mock Draft Extravaganza

Doc Frost said:
I think AD helps that defense more than anything. Having a back keep their offense on the field is what helps. I'm not a big Teddy B fan, though, so my opinion is biased. I don't think it matters what WRs you put around Teddy, I think he will be an Alex Smith type game manager. Mike Wallace was a 1000 yd receiver with a QB that had the arm and took chances and has since had to play with Tannehill and had even worse numbers with Bridgewater. Has Mike Wallace just become completely worthless? I don't think so, and I think his numbers will improve with another big armed QB that will take chances in Flacco.

This is where I am at too. EDIT: TO be clear I love Teddy B though. I think he's a winner.

To change subjects real quick, has that Dr guy CND ever said anything about coming back from microsurgery in skill position athletes? Does anyone have an opinion on Kyle Fuller coming back from microfracture? The latest I read on him is most teams had no idea where he was health wise.

With the 60th pick in the TT Mock draft the New England Patriots Shon Coleman OT Auburn, Coleman will help protect Brady so the abuse that Denver gave Brady doesn't occur again. Coleman is a 1st rd talent who's a cancer survivor. (Which is a concern.) He's strong as a bull with long arms and his best football is ahead of him. Cant wait to see Scarnecchia work with this guy.


With the 61st pick in the TT mock draft the New England Patriots select Kenneth Dixon RB La. Tech., Dixon replaces what Dion Lewis was giving Brady last yr. Dixon is a very instinctive runner who is good in pass pro and has hands like a WR. Dixon gives Brady his knew Shane Vereen.

Wallace's numbers may very well improve, but I wouldn't hold that against Bridgewater. He's still coming around. He threw well enough at the college level to help Devante Parker come out as the top WR of his class.

We'll see in 2016, maybe 2017 as he gets more comfortable in the NFL. Just because he isn't taking chances now, doesn't mean he won't in the future. If he needs to.

The problem with Wallace is that he can only get open if he's running in a straight line. That worked out great with Roethlisberger because Ben thrives in the vertical passing game. It didn't work out in Miami or Minnesota because Tannehill and Bridgewater aren't vertical passers. You can blame that part of his game disappearing on those QB's struggling in that aspect of the passing game. However, you can blame the rest of his game being non-existent on him for being a one-dimensional player. If you take away a guy's vertical ability and that guy then becomes a complete non-factor in the offense, it's probably not on the QB at that point.

Nice picks!

Thanks,

Dixon is very underrated. I was thinking about going with a LB to replace Mayo. But kept coming back to what could be done to help Brady.

Dixon gets a lot of love. I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't like Dixon minus saying he's a bit slow. I like Booker more, but it doesn't mean I don't think Dixon isn't a very good pick.

Yeah I think they need more help on that line and weapons for Brady than they need to add a piece to the defense
 
Well would rather get him in the 3rd but doubt he lasts that long and the Broncos have shown interest - Broncos select Dak Prescott, QB Mississippi St.

Great pick. He's kind of a tweener but he fits really well into a team that wants to run nickel out of 34 base personnel. He can play SS in run situations and come down to WILB against the pass.

Perfect player for us if he falls far enough. He could take Pleasant's spot.

With the 2nd pick in the 3rd round of the 2016 draft, the Cleveland Browns select Braxton Miller, WR out of The Ohio State University.

It's been an all offense draft so far for the Browns. Realizing they won't be competing this year, the best thing they can do is put pieces around their new QB. Braxton Miller can give Carson Wentz a good receiving option with big potential as a deep threat, and he can also come in and play some RB in the wildcat. Plain and simple, he's just a playmaker.

Ok I want to file a grievance I had Miller all preloeded and ready to go get him for SF. (Chip is very upset)

I like you're theory WR's Gordon/Miller and TE Barnidge are a formidable group. With Jackson's offense you probably need to add another WR. With Miller's versatility you could draft an outside guy like Peake or a slot guy Caroo.

Thanks. It's the defense that now really needs a ton of work. That will probably have to wait until next draft though.
 
I'm not going to be around here much too longer. Who should I PM my next pick to incase I'm not around after Texian makes his pick?
 
With the 67th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select: Christian Hackenberg, QB, Penn State
upload_2016-4-7_16-9-24.png

After failing to live up to the hype at Penn State, Hackenberg is going to get a shot to be the long term replacement for an aging Tony Romo, for a Dallas Cowboys team that rarely lives up to the hype.

All jokes aside, Hackenberg will have the opportunity to learn from Tony Romo and Jason Garrett. The opportunity to learn from guys that were once backup QBs in the NFL, and the opportunity to get out of James Franklin's offense should

like the pick for the team, just dont like that he went to that team lol. I always liked Hack he just seemed to play with a certain toughness that im not sure you get out of every QB. He needs a lot of work to fix what is wrong, but I think the Cutler references do this kid a disservice. If Cutler was put through the abuse this kid got he wouldve quit before ever getting to the pros

damn guess it was a stretch to think he would slip down to my pick this round anyways lol sometimes I wish we could trade in this draft, however I see how that would slow things down and muddy up the process
 
wth happened? My buddy just texted me saying I'm up. I checked out at like 3 and there was like 10 picks until my spot. I didn't think there was any chance in heck this would get back to me before like 800 PM at which point I'd just pick in the morning.

All my draft notes are at work which I hang out at during business hours.

Sorry boys, hate to do this, but can yall just give me highest rated 3-4 OLB or OT that can go back and forth from tackle to guard.

How do you feel about Spencer Drango (OT/OG, Baylor)?

Jacksonville selects Nick Martin - C, Notre Dame

The 2nd best C in the draft and an immediate starter who will help solidify the interior OL for Bortles into the future.

Great pick,

The Bears really dont need a C but they were about to pick Martin strictly on value alone.

Highest rated player on my board = Jonathan Bullard DE, FLA; OLB = Kyler Fackrell, Utah St; OT = Jerald Hawkins, LSU

I think you do Cutler a disservice. Did you see any of his games @Vandy?

Coming out of college, there are several similarities. What happened after he was drafted hOlds no clues as to what Hackenberg will do after he's drafted.

Going to Dallas & holding a clipboard for a year or two might have made Cutler a hall of famer for all we know.
 
How about Kyle Murphy, Stanford, or John Theus, Georgia? They might be a little too tall to move inside, though.

If you guys like Drango, I'm fine with that.

I'd also be fine with Fackrell, OLB.

I liked Cutler coming out of College I even said he would be the best QB from his draft class when everyone was raving over VY and Leinhart. I always thought he would be good, but not great. I didnt expect his attitude and pouting issue which is where I say it does Hack a disservice, because I think when people make that comparison thats everyone's first thought that Hack just goes and pouts on the sideline.
