Ot... Og

Total bummer. Was one I thought we'd take a look at.

Yep

I wanted Rick to trade back into the 2nd rd and pick Thomas.

Because you only get 3 yrs on his rookie deal he's a 5/6th rder. IMHO Although I do believe Thomas has all pro potential as a LG.
 
Which OT's do you think can also play OG? And could you see the Texans taking someone like JaWaun James to compete at RT in the 3rd, and then take someone like Cameron Fleming with our comp. pick in the 4th that could possibly add depth/competition at OT and OG? I'm thinking that if we don't sign a FA O-lineman to add competition and depth then we'll double dip on the O-line in the draft and will look for guys that can play both positions.

The injury suffered by Clemson offensive tackle Brandon Thomas during a noncontact drill in a personal workout for the Saints will have the league and the agents re-considering this move to more individual workouts. Why risk it when there is so much tape to watch on a player and there's combine and pro-day workouts? If I were an agent, I would say my client is resting on his pro-day workout. It's just not worth the risk. Thomas was considered a potential late first-round pick and now will likely not go until the fourth round. That's just stupidity. What's the reason? To see how he does in the short shuttle again?

I have a somewhat overly complicated means of evaluating draft needs for the Texans. I was updating it with the Ricardo Mathews signing and as I was looking at the adjusted need ratings I was struck by the fact that of the top 11 needs I can see in the draft about 8 of them are trench related.

As such I don't think I would complain if we just pumped the majority of our picks into those areas.

We are terribly thin on both lines right now unless Q and Williams come back at 100%.
 
Something like this would be interesting.

Round 1 Pick 1: Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn (A)
Round 2 Pick 1: Xavier Su'a-Filo, OG, UCLA (A-)
Round 3 Pick 1: Dee Ford, DE, Auburn (A)
Round 4 Pick 1: Daniel McCullers, DT, Tennessee (A-)
Round 4 Pick 35 (COMP): Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia (A)
Round 5 Pick 1: Brent Urban, DE, Virginia (C-)
Round 6 Pick 1: Ryan Carrethers, DT, Arkansas State (C)
Round 6 Pick 5: Dri Archer, WR, Kent State (B+)
Round 6 Pick 35 (COMP): Storm Johnson, RB, UCF (A)
Round 7 Pick 1: Ross Cockrell, CB, Duke (A)
Round 7 Pick 41 (COMP): Andrew Jackson, ILB, Western Kentucky (B-)

And while I do not disagree in the least we need depth virtually everywhere. I think picks 2-1 & 3-1 will be parlayed into way more than 11 picks which would absolutely go a long way to getting us to where we need to be since this draft is so deep and the player pool really doesn't separate that much after the top 20ish or so.

But then again, what do I know? Sure wish I was tight with that janitor that knows everything Texans. :D

I just hope they don't sacrifice quality for depth purposes. For instance if they take Garappolo/Savage at 33 and Nix/Moses/Mosley are there in the 35-40 range I hope the Smith trades up to get one of them.

Or trades down from 33 to 35- 40/ picks one of them, then uses the extra picks to move back up and pick the QB. Using 3-1/4-1 which one of Nix/Moses/Mosley would be well worth. IMHO.

On Wonderlic scores, former #Eagles OL Matt Patchan's son, Matt (OT/Boston College), had a 42.

Stanford LT/RT Cameron Fleming, who had 1 of the highest Wonderlic scores for any OL (33), is projected go off the board in rounds 2-4

NFL Folks I talk to think ND OL Zack Martin can play all five positions. Huge for teams to have that flexibility.

NFL teams notified last week that Miami OT Seantrel Henderson tested positive at combine for smoking marijuana, per league sources.

Couldn't wait a week. :mariopalm:
 
Regarding Seantrel Henderson, I have to question if this guy really wants to play in the NFL. IIRC, he didn't show up for Pro Day, has been labeled as very skilled but also very unmotivated, and now testing positive for weed might make him an UDFA. Just SMH.
