NFL Draft 2023 - List Your Guys

[BullRushTX]

I think this may be a little more interesting than mock drafts because who knows how the picks will shake out. The point of this exercise is just to list some prospects that you'd be thrilled to see in Battle Red if selected by the Texans. This is assuming these players are selected at a position appropriate for their draft value. I mean, I love Jack Campbell, but I'd be pissed if he was selected at #2.

QB (pick up to 5) – Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, Hendon Hooker, Stetson Bennett, Tyson Bagent


RB (pick up to 5) – Tyjae Spears, Devon Archane, Kendre Miller, Keaton Mitchell, Eric Gray


TE (pick up to 5) – Luke Musgrave, Sam LaPorta, Josh Whyle, Zach Kuntz, Luke Schoonmaker


WR (pick up to 5) – Zay Flowers, A.T. Perry, Jayden Reed, Elijah Higgins, Marvin Mims


OL (pick up to 8) – Dawand Jones, Cody Mauch, Joe Tippmann, Luke Wypler, Jarrett Patterson, Antonio Mafi, Braeden Daniels, Ricky Stromberg


DL (pick up to 8) – Lukas Van Ness, Calijah Kancey, Isaiah Foskey, Karl Brooks, Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Keion White, Adetomiwa Adebawore, Tyree Wilson


LB (pick up to 5) – Jack Campbell, Drew Sanders, Daiyan Henley, Ivan Pace, Dee Winters

Still seems like a mock draft or board you pull from. How about just your pure man love picks? Players who will shine if drafted by Texans.

* Devon Witherspoon is electric, plays with pants on fire, very versatile & great complimentary piece to go with Stingley.
* Luke Musgrave, undervalued in great TE class, high character, with even higher traits bar none.
* Cody Mauch, legend in his own mind and will bend others with his play.
* Calijah Kancey, non stop motor, leverage king, very, very underrated coming out, remind you of anyone?
* Emmanuel Forbes, reminds me so much of Sauce with his movement but quicker, that translates into turnovers for the defense.

Hard to argue with these:-
# Bijan Robinson - one man wrecking crew. Runs like a bull but also has a wicked step, great hands and can block very well.
# Darnell Washington - can make one handed catches and block with the best TEs.
# Keion White - terrific motor and a lot of upside.
# Derick Hall - another high motor guy. Was top sack meister 3 years straight at Auburn.
# Jonathan Mingo - one of my favorite wideouts in this draft - poor man's AJ.
# Noah Sewell - solid LB. Overlooked and underrated.
# Keaton Mitchell - shiftiest RB in this class and a nice returner.
# Clayton Tune - not going to light up the league but could outperform his projections in the right system.
# Cameron Young DL - late round riser with great size. Worth one of those late 7ths.

* Karl Brooks, I love his strength. He can bully people at the LOS
* Jarrett Patterson, he moves really well and I think that will be a great fit in a Shanahan offense
* Ivan Pace, explosive LB who's always around the ball and has good pash rush skills
