Rd.1 Shaq Thompson OLB/ILB Washington, 6'2, 231 Lbs 4.56. Thompson is the most athletic LB in this draft. He has speed enough to play from sideline to sideline and has no problems covering TE's. (Something most Texans fans have never seen.) As an added bonus Thompson is also a very good RB.
Rd.2 Jake Fisher OT Oregon, 6'6, 292 5.22, Fisher is my favorite OT in this draft. He's played both LT/RT, has great feet and plays with a mean streak. Fisher is a massive upgrade over Newton etc....
Rd.3. Antwan Goodley WR Baylor 5'10 225 Lbs 4.49, Goodley reminds me of a much faster Anquan Boldin. Big, thick slot WR with great speed, especially for his size. He's got good hands and will be a weapon from the slot. Goodley has the speed the Texans are sorely lacking.
Rd.4 Phillip Dorsett WR Miami, 5'10 185 LBS 4.38, Dorsett is the fastest WR in this yrs draft. He lacks strength but is water bug quick which allows him to beat press coverage. He has good hands and is very fluid. Dorsett will also help in the KR/PR game. The only reason Dorsett falls this far is due to a a partial MCL tear. If healthy Dorsett is a steal at this point in the draft. He would give the Texans a true homerun hitter in the DeSean Jackson mold.
Rd.5 Trenton Brown OG/OT Florida, 6'8 350 Lbs, 5.48. I watched this mountain of a man open huge holes for Fla' run game against Georgia. He's nimble for such a huge guy. Brown has played all over the line so versatility is a strength. I can only imagine Foster running behind the beef that is D.Brown/Trenton Brown/Brooks/Fisher. I'm a build the trenches 1st kinda guy and Brown is a player.
Rd.6 Mike Hull ILB/OLB Ped St. 6'0 232 Lbs 4.63. Hull is one of the better LB's that I've seen play. He's very instinctive and is always around the ball. Team leader. He has suffered a knee/back and shoulder injuries. The only reason he falls this far. Played for O'Brien and O'Brien loves this guy. Hull has good speed to cover TE's and never misses run fits. Aggressive yet controlled, Hull reminds me of Sean Lee. I would trade up to get Hull as high as the 4th rd.
Rd.7 Micheal Dyer RB Louisville 5'9 215 Lbs 4.50, Dyer has great vision and acceleration. He scored the GW TD for Auburn in the national championship game. He understand pass protection and can catch the ball. Good speed, the only reason Dyer is available is due to past issues smoking pot. The 7th rd is a good place to take a chance on a talented but troubled player like Dyer.
I wasn't able to add speed to the secondary. I like Prewitt a lot but think he will be gone by the 2nd rd. I really don't like any of the CB's in the 1st two rds of this draft.
This mock adds badly needed speed to the LB/WR corps. I drafted the fastest players available at those spots. Luckily these guys can play football as well as run fast. Being a build in the trenches guy I took a couple of big OL with good movement skills and mean streaks. Rick Smith could only hope he drafts this well. LOL
