I like this pick alot. Physical CB/S.
Anytime a team talks about moving a safety to CB because of his cover skills, i’ll take him for safety because I love cover safeties.

I like this pick alot. Physical CB/S.
My vote for the Texans would be:
D.J. Reed - CB, Kansas St
I tried to like this guy. Good program, good production, good measurables. My problem is that Adams doesn't get to the LOS with power because he runs too upright. That would be OK if he has some shiftiness. He doesn't. I see Alfred Blue without the special teams value. And I looked at the Bama back also, and saw the same thing, but a little worse. If the Texans don't get a RB with one of the 3rd round picks, they're wasting their pick.Texans should select RB, Josh Adams - Notre Dame. Adams had a successful season with the Fighting Irish. he's a big back with plenty of speed. He's a downhill runner who will hit the hole and go.

Adams will be a coaches dream since he soaks up coaching and has a tremendous desire to work hard in order to succeed. He has to work on his blocking but the tangibles I just mentioned should indicate that with proper coaching the Texans could get a steal in this RB.
There are a lot of solid players left, similar to what the Texans have picked up in this mock. In the 6th round, I'd like to swing for the fences and take a player I think has the most star potential of the players left in this mock.
Daurice Fountain WR/PR, Northern Iowa
Fountain ran track in the spring, so his reps are limited. But, he comes out of a small school that has produced good players (Kurt Warner, David Johnson, Bryce Paup). They play better competition than you'd think. Think Jacoby Jones with better hands and without the brain farts in Fountain's regard. Very explosive talent that needs harnessing. To me, that's what the 6th round is for...taking a chance to be great.

If this helps, the Browns and Redskins swapped spots in a trade. The Browns are now picking #14 and the Redskins are picking #31 in RD6. Do you want to update the list?

Cain was off the board in the 2nd Round. Gave you the best WR on the board.I had PMed my pick of Deon Cain - WR Clemson. I looked thru list three times and didn’t see him. If I did I apologize. If you don’t want to change my pick that’s ok too, but I had the pick in...
Sunuvabitxh, never mind. Was working midnights and was cross eyed. Carry on, I saw him gone. I’m good....nothing to see hereI had PMed my pick of Deon Cain - WR Clemson.

IMO, Moore could end up as good, if not better than Cain.Sunuvabitxh, never mind. Was working midnights and was cross eyed. Carry on, I saw him gone. I’m good....nothing to see here
Taken by the PackersWith the 14th pick (via Washington) of RD6 and 188th overall, the Cleveland Browns select:
DT, Folorunso Fatukasi - Connecticut / 6-4 @ 318 lbs / Big body DL who can multiple positions along the DL. Has some work to do but could help in the rotation right away.
Maybe Tampa Bay and Arizona? Haven't heard from @edromeo in awhile.Looks like Denver and Buffalo’s picks are done. If y’all need me to take over any other teams i’ll be happy to get players that will add much needed depth/competition to your roster.
Taken in the 4th by Green BayRD6-14-188: DT- Folorunso Fatukasi- Connecticut / 6-4 @ 318 lbs
If I were a Cleveland fan, this would be a draft I could get excited about.
Taken by the Packers
33 (133). Green Bay Packers(Compensatory) - FuzzyLogic - Folorunso Fatukasi, DT - Connecticut

It is a surprisingly deep draft. Fortunately for Texans.So many good prospects left. 5th-6th rounds. I'm telling you, this is where you want to be to get those lottery tickets that pay off in 2019.
