2015 Mocks

Walters 12.17.14

13 Houston Texans: P.J. Williams, CB, Florida State
The Texans wanted to address cornerback depth in the previous offseason, but never got around to it. Perhaps they will this spring after seeing how poorly their corners performed this season.

Pick change; previously Kevin White, WR

45 Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn
The Texans could target the wide receiver position in early rounds this upcoming April. Andre Johnson won't be on the team much longer, so Houston will have to find a new starting wideout across from DeAndre Hopkins.

Pick change; previously Jalen Collins, CB

79 Houston Texans: Sean Hickey, OT, Syracuse
Derek Newton is a liability at right tackle that the Texans should think about addressing.

Pick change; previously Ray Drew, DE/DT

IMO Walters has not watched a single game this season of the Texans. I can see them going CB-WR 1-2, but his comments have not been updated most of the season for our guys.

13 Danny Shelton DT Washington 6' 1" 325

45 Nick O'Leary TE Florida State 6' 3" 250

77 Le'Raven Clark* OT Texas Tech 6' 5" 320

109 Lorenzo Mauldin OLB Louisville 6' 3" 245

141 R.J. Harris WR New Hampshire 5' 10" 200

Rob Rang currently has us picking Shelton.

Walters typically changes their picks but not their narratives. Once the season is over, that will probably get updated.

This looks exactly like a Rick Smith draft. Horrible.

Just got a mock from DraftTek.com dated 12.17.14

14 Brett Hundley UCLA QB 6'3" 227

Well, Ryan Mallett didn't show much during his short audition . . . and he's a F/A in 2015. Ryan Fitzpatrick is injured and has one more year on his 2-year contract with the Texans . . . and Tom Savage looked like a 3rd-string rookie QB starting his first game against the Colts. Folks, this team needs a QB and the athletic Hundley from UCLA should be a nice candidate for HC O'Brien to groom.

46 Charles Gaines Louisville CB 5'11" 175

Starter Kareem Jackson is a F/A in 2015 . . . do you open the vault for a player better suited to play nickel? Johnathan Joseph needs a pick-pocket partner in crime and so far, Messrs. Hal, Bouye, Morris, or Rolle have not stepped up to the plate. Gaines led the Cardinals in interceptions as a sophomore and has great hands, as he has also played offense.

78 Josh Harper Fresno State WRF 6'1" 185

110 Tevin Coleman Indiana RBF 6'1" 210

New Walter's mock

15 Ronald Darby, CB, Florida State
The Texans wanted to address cornerback depth in the previous offseason, but never got around to it. Perhaps they will this spring after seeing how poorly their corners performed this season.

Pick change; previously P.J. Williams, CB

50 Benardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State
The Texans really need help in the interior of their defense, as Brian Cushing is not expected back with the team next year.

Pick change; previously Sammie Coates, WR

81 Ray Drew, DE/DT, Georgia
The Texans have struggled against the run this year because they miss Antonio Smith, whom they failed to replace this past offseason. Here's an upgrade who will make their defensive front even more formidable.

Pick change; previously Sean Hickey, OT


I like a CB in the 1st, and would like an SEC ILB in the 2nd round. I do not agree that we are weak against the run currently at DE. I am also looking forward to Nix's return next off season.

But I am not sure the guys we have are what RAC would ideally have on defense.

Another Walter Mock

16 Landon Collins, S, Alabama
Landon Collins slips a bit out of circumstance in this update, but the Texans won't complain too much. They have some issues at safety that they need to address. Former second-rounder D.J. Swearinger has not lived up to expectations.

Pick change; previously Ronald Darby, CB

51 Benardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State
The Texans really need help in the interior of their defense, as Brian Cushing is not expected back with the team next year.

82 Josh Harper, WR, Fresno State
It's unknown how much longer Andre Johnson will last, but the Texans could look into adding a future No. 2 wideout across from DeAndre Hopkins.

Pick change; previously Ray Drew, DE/DT

[barrett]

I would not bring back Cushing (even though he's one of my all time favorites), but I had not heard it was likely the Texans wouldn't bring him back.

That's a luxury enjoyed by most people who are not Texans fans.

Eheh, Walter sometimes makes "old" statements like this.... I always cut him some slack cause his job is to stay on top of 32 NFL teams and all the prospects coming from college while most of us don't.....

What if? My Mock 2015 2.0

13 *Shawn Oakman 3/4 DE Baylor rJr 6-8 275 Either BOB loves this kid, or he doesn't give him the time of day after his stint at Penn St. If he loves the kid and Clowney returns healthy someday, we could have a front seven of Watt, Nix, Oakman, Mercilus, Cushing, Mohamed, Clowney. Call it the "Pick Your Poison Defense". That is 5 guys who play in the other teams backfield on most plays.

45 Ty Montgomery WR/KR Stanford Sr 6-2 215

77 *Charles Gaines CB/PR Louisville rJr 5-11 175

109 *Tyler Kroft TE Rutgers rJr 6-5 240

141 Ladarius Gunter CB Miami (Fla.) rSr 6-2 198

173 Quandre Diggs DB Texas Sr 5-10 204

I don't think we go DE in the 1st, but it could be fun to envision.
