Mock Drafts

[painekiller]

Also I have been quoting a 3 rounder from WalterFootball and hope you go look at the mock yourselves.

They have us picking 17th, one after the Titans BTW, and taking

17. Houston Texans: Taylor Mays, SS, USC
Basically the Best Player Available formula for a team hurting for defense. It's not like strong safety isn't a need, anyway. Taylor Mays is an amazing athlete who, despite weighing 225 pounds, runs a 4.4 40.


#49 Houston Texans: James Davis, RB, Clemson
I don't expect Ahman Green and Chris Brown to be around once this actual draft takes place. Steve Slaton is a nice scat back to have, but he definitely can't carry the load. James Davis would be a nice complement to Slaton.

#81 Houston Texans: Nic Harris, SS, Oklahoma
When have the Texans not needed secondary help? Here's to another year of playing fantasy receivers against Houston.

My cherry pick: @ 17 I take William Moore who they have going #27, or Myron Rolle, SS/FS, Florida State who they have going #21, also it I have to look hard at Brian Cushing, OLB, USC.

@49 I don't dislike the James Davis pick, but I might have to look hard at Greg Middleton, DE, Indiana who they have going #53, or
Tim Jamison, DE, Michigan who they have going #60

@ 81 Again I would not complain about Harris, might look hard at Bear Pascoe, TE, Fresno State, at some point Bruener has to retire and Pascoe is a stud, added to Daniels and Dreessen that is a nice young core of TEs.

Just to show how much opinion varies about the players and the way the teams stack up ranking wise here is the mock from Rivals.com

They have us picking 14th one before the Titans, taking Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR Maryland*. Funny thing is they never mention a need for WR on our team. They have the Titans taking Greg Middleton, DE, Indiana* who in the Walters mock was a 2nd rounder, this ranking my be closer to his true draft position.

They do not have William Moore as a 1st rounder.

Time will tell where these guys truly are ranked.

i've read up a bit on william moore, he sounds like the real deal at safety. certainly wouldn't mind adding a power like that to be the cherry on top of our defense.

A couple of notes on Rey Rey, first he should be a top 10 pick if not a top 5 pick, at least that is how it's seems to be shaking out. 2nd most of the hits in the video would be fines in the NFL, he seems to come in a little high and lead with his helmet, no no's in the pros.

But as you said what a stud.

[KJ3]

yea, i'm guessing we don't fall flat on our faces so he's probably out of the question unless we start trying to trade up for him...but if you have a guy that big and fast who is willing to lay it out like that, i'm betting you can teach him how to do it without incurring the penalties and fines he no doubt would get for a few of those helmet to helmet hits.

i realize it's way to early, but the seedling of hope has been planted that won't be seen until about february. the hope is that a legit safety talent falls into our laps around the early 20's area....i guess that would be 2 hopes if i go back too much...one for a safety and one for playoffs to get into that spot hahaha....
