The Actual and Real 2017 Texans Talk Mock Draft Extravaganza

With their 6th round selection, the New York Jets select:

Jeremy Cutrer, Middle Tennessee State, Cornerback

Small school prospect, athletic and has ball skills but is rail thin.
 
Via PM, @beerlover and the Philadelphia Eagles select at pick #194:

Joshua Dobbs - QB, Tennessee

From beerlover:
Can't ignore value here. good developmental QB prospect Eagles can trade Matt McGloin if he impresses in camp to some QB hungry team (Texans?) for future pick. Very intelligent, good arm, backing up Folles, behind Wentz.
 
Dobbs is smart, not a stretch he could learn even the most complicated playbooks. He is athletic, with good measureables for position. Decent production against high level competition. Hard to say exactly where he falls in the draft but for 6th round money a super low cost developmental QB with high ceiling. In 2-3 years, going into his contract year a decision could be made about his future without decimating salary cap. Really like him here as under study to another smart guy, Carson Wentz.

I thought the knock on Dobbs was an average arm??

Dobbs is hardly incompetent as a passer, but he hasn't shown as much growth with his ball placement and accuracy as scouts had hoped to see from this former four-star prospect. Dobbs has decent size and is an outstanding runner outside the pocket which could appeal to a team looking for a developmental quarterback with play-making ability.

That's from NFL.com

He's got an excellent arm. Very quick release. Dobbs ran a zone read offense and will be a noob in a pro style. Like a lot of QBs in this draft. He'll need a redshirt year holding a clipboard and running the scout team. Put him with a good QB coach, and I think you'll have a NFL QB with plus athleticism in 2 or 3 years.

I think there's a knock on his accuracy . He's the reason Peterman went to Pitt . He's got alopecia so he's handled adversity .
 
Dobbs is a really smart guy with a plus arm and athleticism, but 9 ints in 110 attempts over 10 yds is scary.
 
Really outstanding young man and would handle back-up role with class & style. Not looking for homerun, but if it happens great, no big deal for money we're talking about if it doesn't, just give him the opportunity.

He also credits Peyton Manning for helping him prepare for the NFL.

“The best advice, easily, I’ve ever gotten from Peyton Manning is the importance of preparation,” Dobbs said. “He just talks about his preparation each and every week, his pre-snap process, his communication at the quarterback position and how important those three areas were. And then to go on the field with him and see the importance of each and every rep. Every rep is important and he’s trying to maximize that rep and make it a game rep. So to see how important your preparation is and seeing how important each rep is – that’s definitely made me a better quarterback in my college career and that’s something I’ve learned and will take to the next level.”

At the NFL combine, Dobbs out-performed Clemson's national championship QB, Deshaun Watson in all field events.

And just a little more personal background, love pic with his mom.

@Shishkabob has missed his last two picks with the Cardinals. They're on the clock until 10. He was on last night but didn't make a pick. I won't nominate anyone, because I have the following pick.
 
The Vikings lost the NFL’s leading kick returner last year to Oakland (Cordarrelle Patterson) and are happy to find a replacement and someone that can potentially contribute to their passing game w/ gadget plays a la former Viking Percy Harvin.

Vikings select Isaiah McKenzie, WR

5’7” 173 lbs. 4.42/40. NFL.com: Electric receiver and return specialist. He’s been known best as a special teams demon, scoring six times on returns: five times on punts (2 in 2014, 2 in 2015, 1 in 2016) and once on a kickoff (2014)…his explosive return ability could land him work right away.


@xtruroyaltyx– on the clock -- 6 (200) New England

Next 5 on deck:

6 (201) Washington -@Lucky-
6 (202) San Francisco -@Lucky-
6 (203) Denver -@infantrycak-
6 (204) Tampa Bay -@steelbtexan-
6 (205) Detroit -@thunderkyss–
 
Buffalo's draft is complete after their previous pick.

1.10 - Haason Reddick - LB, Temple
2.44 - Adoree' Jackson - CB, USC
3.75 - Chad Hansen - WR, California
5.156 - Jeremy McNichols - RB, Boise St
5.171 - Jordan Evans - LB, Oklahoma
6.195 - Isaac Rochell - DL, Notre Dame

Feel pretty good about that haul. Reddick is a stud and will start at SAM immediately. Jackson is a high risk defender but comes with elite athleticism and game-changing kick return abilities. Hansen immediately steps in for Robert Woods as the starting WR opposite Sammy Watkins. McNichols was a steal this late and will provide valuable relief at RB. Evans will be the starting WILL in the new defensive scheme. And Rochell is a versatile depth guy that can play SDE in run situations and rush from the 3 tech in pass situations.
 
I would have taken Reddick as high as #5 to the Titans. I considered both he and Fournette at #2. He will be an impact defender.

He's in Khalil Mack/Von Miller territory for me. Same type of skills. Just doesn't have the size. I think a lot of people will be shocked at how high he goes.

Love three of your picks and where you drafted them. Reddick of course, maybe nailed slot/team unless something crazy happens? Adore Jackson who I heard is getting a hard look from Texans and McNichols. Very disheartened Texans group pick did not upgrade RB position behind Miller. Can't take another year trotting out Blue. Your nomination of DJ Williams best of the lot, imo.
 
NE pats select: TE/WR, Robert Tonyan, Indiana State, 6'5" 236 lbs

drxfdjo2oqmi3g8vwxun4oursjlg5tp


As the only tight end at the pro day, Tonyan did blocking drills solo in the position portion of the pro day.

"[The NFL team rep] said, 'Great for a first-time guy doing it.' I can obviously get stronger, and that's going to come with putting on more weight and size," Tonyan said. "Not too much (feedback) other than technique and that initial punch."

In his 40-yard dash, Tonyan said he ran it "in the 4.5," which at worst would put him sixth among the 14 tight ends who ran at the combine in Indianapolis. His vertical jump at a regional combine earlier this month was 38 inches, which would have ranked second at his position.

With pick #201, Washington selects:

Sean Harlow - OL, Oregon State

College Tackle moving inside in the pros. More later.
 
With pick #202, San Francisco selects:

Josh Malone - WR, Tennessee

Developmental, toolsy WR with WCO traits. More later.
 
I had a weekend trip sprung on me last minute and am in the car now. I won't have the time to create a list for the Seahawks and will be busy all weekend. I apologize in advance. Someone can take over the team or group pick it.

I can take Seattle's last 2 picks if no one objects.
