We think pretty much alike. I've got Bech as a middle/late 2nd rd pick. I also like Savion Williams, Jalen Royals and Tez Johnson a lot too. There are only a few day one IOL starters. Booker/Jackson/Zabel are my top 3. I'm getting one of these guys and hoping one of the 4 WR's I listed falls to 2-59.I’m very split between two players on offense with #25 selection. While I don’t feel, this is BPA approach (higher DL prospects available) writing on the wall. Fix CJ and in doing so fix the offense.
That being said, there is a bigger gap between WR who could jump start this offense than OL. Texans could still get a starting LG second round, but not outside true #2 WR, to pair with Nico.
So as much as I’m impressed with NDSU OT/OG Grey Zabel, have to go instead, with TCU WR Jack Beck. He gives me Ladd McConkey vibes, with bigger, stronger frame. Both players cemented themselves worthy of 1st rd grades. Prefer Beck over Burton (who is more slot than outside threat).
Both players show outstanding consistency for positions. Wish we could have both, take Beck, then trade up for Zabel using 2nd/3rd picks would provide huge boost to Texans offense.
With that said, if say Jackson is the pick at 1-25 and Zabel fell to 2-40 I would trade up to get him, even if this meant using 2nd/3rd rd picks and/or future picks. I believe these 3 IOL are day one, 10 yr starters. CJ would be well protected for yrs to come. Then I'm picking a guy like Jaylin Noel/ Juice Wells/Theo Wease later in the draft. I've got Noel in the 4th rd. What I'm really hoping happens is Caserio spends a 4-5th rd pick on the best blocking TE in this draft IMHO (Jackson Hawes TE Georgia Tech) if he doesn't spend a higher pick on a TE like Mason Taylor.
I'm hoping Caserio signs both Tylan Wallace and Bo Melton in FA. They should both be fairly cheap signings. (This wont happen) What I'm afraid Caserio is going to do is listen to CJ and spend the money on Diggs and the money spent on Diggs could've been used to sign both Melton and Wallace.
