Hello all. You'd think that a divorced guy would have more time to devote to such hobbies as the NFL draft. Unfortunately, I am even busier than ever. At any rate, I wanted to put together a draft list for the Texans like I do every year. Not a lot of names like normal, but my cream of the crop.

Finished draftboard and went the Drafttek to see how it works....

OLB Nick Perry USC 6'3" 271
Fills a hole left when Mario leaves.

NT Jerel Worthy Michigan State 6'3" 308
Could be a Jay Ratliff type player in Wade's 3-4

RB Isaiah Pead Cincinnatti 5'10" 197
Change of pace back with return ability.

WR Devon Wylie Fresno 5'9" 187
Slot receiver like Wes Welker this offense has not had. Also return ability.

WR Marvin McNutt Iowa 6'3" 216
Could replace Kevin Walter and make losing Jacoby Jones a non-issue.

CB Ron Brooks LSU 5'10" 190
Decent size and incredible speed. A good project player this late in the draft. Had to add him to my board.

DE J.R. Sweezy North Carolina St. 6'5" 298
Can push Bullman and Jamison and make the roster.

I'm guessing you presume that Kendall Wright and Alshon Jeffrey are off the board by then. I'd also rate Konz ahead of any RB, plus I would move him to the top of the list if Meyers isn't re-signed.

Roy P · #4 03-11-2012, 03:29 PM

I think there are equally talented WRs who can be had later in the draft. I also think Caldwell can play OC as well as Konz will next season, so I am not too worried about drafting a Center. Hopefully, we resign Meyers and it is a moot point.

I really liked wylie at the combine. fast, quick, good footwork/hands. seems like he could start the year off as a great 3rd down conversion guy and increase his role as the season progresses. does he have any experience as a return man?
