Default Fanspeak 3/26 with no trades

I tried to trade down from 1-16 but could not so this is what my Texans draft might look like without any trades:

1-16 Jaelen Strong, WR, Arizona State.
Parker was still on the board but I like Strong slightly better.
2-51 Bernardrick McKinney, ILB, Miss. St. Strong presence that goes sideline to sideline and can pass rush. A great complement to Cushing inside.
3-82 Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota. Shocked to find him here since he's the consensus best TE in the draft. A slower than expected 40 time at the combine seems to be why he's dropping a little. Still, if this seems unrealistic, I could take 6-7 Jesse James from Penn State as the TE here and be just as happy.
4-116 B.J. Finney, C, Kansas St. I was hoping a better center would fall here but the talent really drops off after Finney.
5-152 Charles Gaines, CB, Louisville Secondary help and someone expected to go sooner than mid-5th.
5-174 (comp) Antwan Goodley, WR, Baylor As mentioned above, this is the late-round WR I want because of his kick-return skills.
6-194 Adrian Amos, S, Penn St. One of O'Brien's kids and provides secondary depth.
6-211 (comp) Miles Diffenbach, G, Penn St. Supposedly, this was one of O'Brien's favorite Nittany Lion players. Gutty but lacking in NFL talent. This regime's Kasey Studdard, he is part sentimental pick and part practice squad emergency material.
6-216 (comp) Malcolm Brown, RB, Texas This is about where I'm looking for third-RB depth. Brown isn't excellent at anything but does everything reasonably well - runs, blocks, catches passes in the flat. What you want from a third-stringer.
7-235 James Castleman, DT, Oklahoma State I meant to address the d-line sooner than this. If I had traded down in the first, I would be grabbing one in the third or fourth.
