All Pro
We are less than 3 weeks away, and the anticipation is building.

Here are my draft predictions. Let me know your thoughts and what predictions you have!

1. 5 QBs go round 1
2. ARI will trade up from their 27th pick to pick a defensive player
3. Either John Metchie or Damion Pierce will be part of a trade package during the draft
4. Texans draft both a CB and a S to add to our DB room
5. A new record is set for OL drafted in the 1st round
6. LAR draft Latu
7. BUF moves up in 1st to draft WR

I definitely agree with number 3. I’d hate to cut bait on both but would rather be early than late on making that call. If I can package one of them with a 6 to gain a 3 or 4 i’d do it.

What's the current record? 9? If so, then I also think that record will be broken.

I counted 9 in 2013 and 2022.

Here are 9 no brainers in my estimation:
Alt
Fuaga
Fautanu
Latham
Fashanu
Mims
Guyton
Barton
Powers-Johnson

Then at least 1 more OL in the 1st.
Morgan
Suamataia
Frazier
Paul

So I'll take the over. But it's close.

Do you think all these guys go before #42?
Do any possibly make it to #59?

2nd question, first. No, none of these guys make it to 2.59. They are too large and too athletic to make it that far down. There have been OT prospects not as good as these guys that have gone in the 1st round the past 4 or 5 drafts. It's a special class. Drafting at 2.59, you're looking at a different tier of OT.

1st question, probably. If you look at the just the teams drafting ahead of the Texans in the 2nd round, any could go OT with their pick. Depending on which way they go in the first round. The best chance the Texans have is if Graham Barton, OL from Duke, is drafted as an OT. Other than 6 games at Center his freshman season, Barton has played LT. And played it well. But he's considered more as a C because he has less than average arm length for a pro OT. Still, Barton is the best technician in the draft, and a team (or teams) could have him rated at OT. Meaning a OT like Morgan, Paul, or Suamataia might get to 2.42. It's a long shot.

Why not. Most of these likely to be wrong

1 - 6 QBs go in the first round
2 - Texans make 5, or more, trades during the draft
3 - 1 if the top 5 CBs (Mitchell, DeJean, Kool-Aid, Arnold & Wiggins) drops out of the first
4 - One of the WRs taken in the first round will be a headscratcher to the "experts"
5 - The order of OTs drafted will not align with the "rankings"

Edit: Wildass speculation
6 - Nabors is off the board before MHJR

I’m curious on which WR you think will be a head scratcher
 
Anyone can guess who the first player at a position to be selected? But who is the 5th player selected at each position?

QB - Michael Penix
RB - Braelon Allen
WR - AD Mitchell
TE - Jared Wiley
OT - JC Latham
OG - Christian Mahogany
C - Tanor Bortolini
DT - Ruke Orhorhoro
Edge - Darius Robinson
LB - Trevin Wallace
CB - Kool-Aid McKinstry
S - Dadrion Taylor-Demerson

Calling four right so far, 6 QBs, CBs fell, Pearsall in the 1st and the OT order did not align with the rankings
