Fant should go before Cajuste. Vikings are rumored to be interested and need upgrade over Kyle Rudolph. He ran a 4.5 @ the combine with 39" vertical and he's 6'4 249lbs. That's insane!
 
I reached a little on JoeJuan Williams, merely because I think the Texans staff are really in love with him and Greedy. I hear grumblings about moving up into the 10-12 spots if Greedy is still on the board, my buddy is a scout at the combine this week and has a few friends in the organization. Gaine wants both.

Myles late in the 5th and Andre Dillard are solid value picks overall. I'd be ecstatic with this haul assuming we can sign Matthieu or Earl Thomas at safety and grab a corner on the open market.

Round 2 Pick 4 (S.F.): Cajuste, Yodny, OT, West Virginia (A)
Round 2 Pick 22: Winovich, Chase, DE, Michigan (A-)
Round 2 Pick 23: Williams, Joejuan, CB, Vanderbilt (B-)
Round 3 Pick 3 (S.F.): Dillard, Andre, OT/OT, Washington State (A)
Round 3 Pick 22: Jordan, Michael, OG/C, Ohio State (A)
Round 4 Pick 2 (S.F.): Samuel, Deebo, WR, South Carolina (A+)
Round 5 Pick 23: Gaskin, Myles, RB, Washington (A+)
Round 6 Pick 22: Russell, Dontavius, DT, Auburn (A+)
Round 7 Pick 23: Connelly, Ryan, ILB, Wisconsin (A+)

Nice picks but Dillard would have to break a leg between now and the draft to fall out of the top 15.

Say the bolded again please

I don't think your trade very realistic
 
I’m hoping JoeJuan Williams is a bit more of a sleeper. Would pass on 2nd rd. but be a buyer in 3rd. Developmental safety/cb and core special teams player.

Williams might be a Seahawk press corner. Not a fit for the Texans. And no reason to project as a Safety, when that position has several pro ready guys in this draft. I think he's a day 3 pick for Seattle, Niners, or Falcons.

Andre Hal played corner for Vanderbilt too and I thought he was too small for safety. Just goes to show you never know next level what a players capabilities are until proven. And far as grading slot wise had him going to Eagles just a few picks ahead of where Texans drafted him.

Just going on what the trade simulator gave me. Definitely don't think the Dillard pick is realistic.


My buddy is also scouting at the draft this week, several friends in the organization. The Texans are highly likely to move up 10-15 spots if Greedy is on the board and the value makes sense. They are absolutely in love with him. They want to snag both Williams ' in this draft. They're going to approach OL more in free agency. Again this is strictly intent, not reality, but I very much trust my buddy. Fellow S&C coach, tons of mentoring under his belt, lots of freelance work.

Is there a CB in this draft that physically compares more to Kevin Johnson than Greedy Williams? Not saying Greedy will have Johnson's career. Just think it would be a bit ironic.

Hell he's actually 2" taller and a few pounds lighter.

I tried another The Draft Network- Mock Draft Machine....interesting as to how they have the players ranked.

RD1-023. Dalton Risner, RT / Kansas State
RD2-054. Andre Dillard, LT / Washington State
RD2-055. Hakeem Butler, WR / Iowa State
RD3-086. Isaiah Johnson, CB / Houston
RD5-161. Erik McCoy, IOL / Texas A&M
RD6-195. Tim Harris, CB / Virginia
RD7-220. Corbin Kaufusi, EDGE / BYU

I would be completely satisfied if this could happen. Watson would be in good hands.....as would the OL. Butler would be an insane add to the receiving group. Johnson and Harris would add some size and thump to the CB position. Kaufusi could be a solid answer on the DL or EDGE.

Denver signed a OT in FA; that helps. I cannot see Dillard falling past BOTH CAR and SEA. Cody Ford was on the board though I don't know if he is a LT in the NFL. I cannot see Risner falling to mid 2; even if he drops out of 1 (past NE, LAR), any number of teams who went EDGE early in 1 will scoop him up.

Rock Ya-Sin is a low number team captain from Temple. Hard working, tough as nails. I also like Joejuan Williams.

I do not want a RB in 2. Opportunity cost is too high.

Credible - and a boon if we actually score that lot.
There is a slight chance Risner falls as this is a decent draft, though I doubt it will be much past say #45.

Trading down to pick up a extra 3rd would be great. Rounds 2-4 Have so many good players in them. We will take atleast 2 Lineman and 2 CB's, but I wouldn't be disappointed if we took 2 tackles, 1 Interior OL, 3 Corners, and 1 WR or RB.
 
The assumption is that Dillard will be gone by pick 15.

Screenshot_20190321-074909_Samsung Internet.jpg

Bobby Evans and Mitch Hyatt both have LT experience and one of them protected Watson in college. Yes, please!
Risner will grow into our RT or can play RG meanwhile..

McCoy can play center or guard.

Ta'amu will be QB #3 for a year.

David Long is a very underrated CB and plays with intensity.

I compare LJ Scott to Arian Foster. (Not literally) but they had underachieving careers in college and will have a better NFL career. Same size and both can stop on a dime and make people miss in small quarters.

It's definitely realistic, though I don't think Risner is a round 1 guy, but he might not be there for us in round 2. With that said, he's limited to OG or RT. He's a solid player, but this doesn't protect Watson's blind side. Love the McCoy pick, but again, LT is a gaping hole still. I like Long, but I'm not too high on Johnson, but I could live with it simply due to position.
 
Ok, for this First Pick Simulator Draft I played with the idea that the Lions did trade their RD1-08 to the Texans for Clowney. I didn't trade back nor did I trade back from 23.

RD1-08 (DET): Ed Oliver (DT) Houston
RD1-23: Dalton Risner (RT, RG, OC) Kansas State
RD2-22: Trayvon Mullen (CB) Clemson
RD2-23: JoeJuan Williams (CB) Vanderbilt
RD3-22: Isaiah Johnson (CB) Houston
RD5-23: Mitch Hyatt (LT) Clemson
RD6-22: Antoine Wesley (WR) Texas Tech
RD7-04: Bruce Anderson (RB) North Dakota State

1. It would be awesome if OB and RC made the move to a fixed 4-3 scheme. DL would have: DE- Clowney, DT- Oliver, DT- Reader, DE- Watt. Clowney's best season to date came when he replaced Watt...why not make him a FT DE? Having Oliver lining up next to Clowney could be dominating.

2. I've always been behind the idea of getting both Mullen and Johnson to become the future CB tandem of the Texans. Big, physical and fast CB's could be pay huge dividends in 2020 since veterans may carry the load in 2019 allowing both the opportunity to develop into solid, possibly shutdown, type of corners.

3. After reading several really good post(s) on JoeJuan I couldn't help but agree that his NFL future lies at becoming a SS. His size and CB skills could be perfect for keeping TE's production at a minimum against the Texans defense.

4. I've liked Mitch Hyatt from the start of his Clemson run. I still laugh at his free-fall in this draft. Hyatt has only been a 4 year starter at LT for both Watson and Lawrence while enjoying two CFB Championships. He's accomplished this while playing playing top talent each and every year. I actually like his chances OT a successful transition to the NFL....especially if he had a development year behind a veteran like Khalil.

5. Wesley would be a solid addition to the receiving group....could be a cut and paste version of Hopkins. Crazy good hands and catch radius.

6. If the Texans drafted Anderson in RD7....it probably means Gaine has put together an amazing draft. I like Anderson as a complete back like James only available far later.

Defense would be set for the foreseeable future. Offense would still be a work in progress but the additions from this draft could be solid.

Because OT is the GM we deserve. Just don’t understand why he didn’t trade Clowney once more to the Bills, so the Texans could take Dillard at #9.

When is the draft? My work schedule has me all screwed up. These 12-12 have me fk'd
 
On this draft, I kept Clowney and did accept an offer for the 23rd pick by none other than the Colts. I never thought to check and see who they traded up for....would be interesting. Anyhow, went hard on the need areas and don't think I reached on any pick. Some will say Risner isn't RD1 material but I will differ with that opinion. The LT's I wanted were gone as were the top CB's.....so, if that's the case then I'm shoring up the right side and expect the team to try and ride Davenport and Khalil in 2019. I'm still taking a LT later as insurance.

RD1-26 (Colts): Dalton Risner (RT) Kansas State
RD2-22: Erik McCoy (OC / RG) Texas A&M
RD2-23: Trayvon Mullen (CB) Clemson
RD2-27 (Colts): JoeJuan Williams (SS) Vanderbilt
RD3-22: Isaiah Johnson (CB) Houston
RD5-23: Trysten Hill (DT) UCF
RD6-22: Mitch Hyatt (LT) Clemson
RD7-06: Bruce Anderson (RB) North Dakota State

That one extra pick makes a huge difference.
I've never been one to trade down in the first round, but this draft lends itself perfectly for where the Texans are and what their needs require.
I still want that fifth year option for my #1 pick so I need to stay in the first round so I would even do a deal with Beelzebub in NE.
