2025 Texans Only Blind Mock Draft

[Lucky]

We haven't done this in a few years, but I'm bringing it back by request. Here's how it works.

1) I've chosen a mock/draft board that will remain unknown until after the mock ends and will list the players taken prior to the Texans pick.

2) It's a tight schedule to get this in by draft weekend. Check the schedule below to vote for their choice at that particular draft selection.

3) I will post the selection at the end of the schedule and then post the next group of players off the board.

4) Please no more than one vote per member per selections.

Schedule for voting:

4/21 8AM - 4/22 8 AM - Pick 1.25
4/22 8AM - 4/22 10 PM - Pick 2.58
4/22 10PM - 4/23 8PM - Picks 3.79 & 3.89 (Select 2 players)
4/23 8PM - 4/24 8AM - Pick 5.166
4/24 8AM - 4/24 5PM - Picks 7.236 & 7.241 (Select 2 players)

Off the board at 1.25

[JB]

Kelvin Banks

 

[steelbtexan]

Banks

 

[SenorStan]

Bank. Has potential to start at guard this year and transition to LT next year.

 

[whodknee]

Banks

 

[Errant Hothy]

Banks

 

[OptimisticTexan]

LG- Donovan Jackson (Ohio State)

 

[Mollywhopper]

Purely on gametape I'm taking Josh Simmons, just over Kelvin Banks. And I'd feel all the more confidant if I was a team executive who had access to medicals, conversations with OSU team docs or any other physicians Josh may have seen in the offseason, or could've even spoken to the kid one-on-one to try and see where he's at and his love of the game and desire to get back on the field like his old self.

Buuuutt, I don't have any of that and so I don't know what's really what with the kid heading into the season. And I had these two close enough that my pick ultimately goes instead to Kelvin Banks Jr.

 

[Texansphan]

Just to be difficult -
Tyler Booker.

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Donovan Jackson

 

[badboy]

Josh Conerly

[TheRealJoker V2]

Kelvin Banks… no matter what

 

[Texansphan]

Grey Zabel

Take another stab beer - Zabel is on the list.

I find these hard without a full list in front of me, but I’ll go Jalen Royals.

The assumption is that you're in the "war" room discussing what's left on the draft board. I decided to not make a poll, because I didn't want to influence the selections. BTW, nothing wrong with the pick of Royals.

Here's a pretty good list of the draftable players from ESPN.

Well, if selected by Houston let's hope his foot injury his senior year does not impact him this year.
