The Draft Network Mock

Lucky said:
Shouldn't change much at the top of the draft. Most of the top guys have been tagged. The tricky part now is where are the QBs going. I think the Jags sign Foles. Then what?

Most teams may make moves to remove the obvious as far as their draft choices are concerned.
Yet, it is possible to make mocks for Texans (and likely other teams) for example that they should/could draft regardless of FA.
 
Ran Simulator 3/11/19 and this is result. It is different than doing a solo mock draft in that several prospects are off the board by time Texan selection rolls around. Did several to come up with most realistic, no Andre Dillard because he will be off long before #23 so had to take another route, one I know most will hate but is what it is based off need and taking BPA.

23. Christian Wilkins, IDL, Clemson 6030 315
Big addition to front line, keeps front four dominant and adds interior pass rusher. Run to podium if available, 2 times he was already selected 2 times available so it’s 50/50.

54. Deionte Thompson, S, Alabama 6010 195
Was hoping Texans could keep all three in tact but looks like at least one maybe both Kareem Jackson and Tyrann Mathieu. Thompson is your Alabama prototype, physical safety with range would be nice fit next to Reid.

55. David Edwards, OT, Wisconsin 6060 308
Big framed, strong technician you can plug and play as rookie to upgrade RT position. Should be a very good long term solution on the right side, in simulator there was a run on OT's.

86. Amani Hooker, CB, Iowa 5110 210
Nervous about this pick not player, just hoping there would still be a good corner left, its not a deep class, but clearly fills need in zone coverage scheme, with range and no red flags.

161. Trayveon Williams, RB, Texas A&M 5080 206
Unlike corner, RB class is deep and Texans can add a speedster like TW in the 5th. Realize he is short but looks more durable and if he can improve his hands in passing game another weapon for Deshaun.

195. Tyree St. Louis, OT, Miami 6050 312
Developmental LT prospect not invited to combine. Was second choice after Oli Udah taken a few picks before Texans. Plenty of upside, better feet than Davenport.

220. John Cominsky, EDGE, Charleston 6050 286
Small school I had to do search to put him in this mock. Wouldn't be surprised if he goes early as 4th rd. Ran and performed extremely well @ the combine, JJ Watt lite.

Why do you think Hooker can play CB in the NFL? He actually played a lot of nickel LB last year.

Similar to Kareem, can play both which adds plus value.

I’m actually shocked Texans would let Jackson walk? He has evolved into a really great player in this hybrid role. He’s never been shy to give up his body and lay it all on the line, I respect that.

CBS just had a new mock released with Texans trading twice. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft...ment-and-eli-mannings-heir-apparent-in-trade/

In this scenario Looking at a Draft Haul of...

37-Greg Little OT
54-Julian Love-CB
55-Dexter Lawrence-DL
74-David Long-CB
86-Tytus Howard-OT
142- Jalen Jenks-Edge
143- Traevon Williams-RB
161- Derek Thomas-CB
220- Jalen Hurd-WR

I could live with that draft. No superstars, but much needed depth.

Edit: Lawrence was taken in the mock @31. How was he available again @55?

I did my mock draft based off of The Draft Network Simulator but with the new picks from the CBS one. Just showing how beneficial trading down will be.

Whoa, de ja vu. Eerily similar to one I am working on including a trade back for Little or Cajuste for R1.
I had Julian Love in 2a. with Gerald Willis III at 2b and Dalton Risner at 2c.
Just those 4 alone would be cause for excitement for the fans.

So you like that Mock ?
What's the best pick of the group, value wise ?

I would say Lawrence and Williams. If you switch Lawrence and Little's draft slots, the mock would be more realistic. Otherwise, it looks very realistic.
