Strange looking mock when all is said & done. Players I would like to see on upcoming Texan roster but as always luck implied. Lots & lots of stuff coming & going to happen, changing the draft landscape, always fluid into the draft itself which makes these mocks a complete waste of time but still we do them. It's fun to dream. Texans were really pretty close, giving the Patriot's, Super Bowl Champion, a good fight into the 2nd half even without JJ Watt.
I would have liked to add interior DL earlier, but it doesn't look like it will fall that way. I do like younger players Texans have developed so did add another late pick who has a chance to fit scheme. Basically emphasis on OL, as many here have already done but didn't want to copy, so what if Robinson falls to 25, would you take him to fill RT position? I'm not sure if Melifonwu is the next Cam Chancellor or not but he sure can cover ground & knock you out. Very raw with huge upside. Speaking of upside that's also what I envision for Perine, always fighting for extra yards, challenge will be ball security with his aggressive style. Gives Texans a legitimate 1-2 punch while consolidating pack. When it comes to QB position I want a leader with moxie, someone inspiring his teammates to excel. If the throw is not there don't make it, move, extend the play with your legs using protection, make the intelligent athletic move, protect the ball. He has good size, plays fearless with confidence.
01. Cam Robinson, OT, 6060 310
Houston we have our franchise RT, who could someday take over LT for Mr. Brown. Don't think he will be downgraded because of his background as much as his combine & workout measureables. In the end he is a football player who has been battle tested @ the highest level of College competition. He will be an excellent RT & give Texans QB a sturdy pocket instead of leaky sieve.
02. Obi Melifonwu, FS, 6040 219, Connecticut
Big time rising, talent @ Saftey position with versatility to cover over top, underneath or in run support. Really impressed me during Senior Bowl week & made himself a lot of money. Question marks concerning Demps health/return or moving KJ to safety from corner depending on Bouye.
03. Samaje Perine, RB, 5010 235, Oklahoma
Outstanding physical playmaker adept @ blocking in pass pro, power downhill runner & dangerous in pass threat out of the backfield. Miller was excellent first step last year but its time to take another step towards deeper, more balanced attack.
04. Erik Magnuson, OT/OG, 6040 303, Michigan
Experienced, well coached, versatile, hard nosed competitive lineman adding depth, competing for starting RG position plus quality depth.
05. Jerod Evans, 6030 238, Virginia Tech
Inexperienced, developmental prospect this late but possess big time tools worth exploring. I see more elements of Cam than I do Dak. See what you think? https://draftbreakdown.com/video/jerod-evans-vs-boston-college-2016/
06. Steven Taylor, LB, 6010 225, Houston
Most of you are familiar with him, being local which Texans in latter rounds seem to often take hard looks at. Adds speed sideline to sideline, additional blitzed with good pass rushing instinct & core special teams player.
07. BJ Singleton, DT, 6030 315, Houston
What can I say, like local flavor. Good developmental nose who could possibly work his way onto the 53 man roster. Like fact he was a former basketball standout so is athletic with good timing. Also I hear there is a rather large hole in the middle of 2017 defense.
