2015 Mocks

[painekiller]

My first mock with the Comp Picks added:

16 *Malcom Brown DT Texas Jr 6-2 319
51 Jalen Collins CB LSU rJr 6-1 203
82 Phillip Dorsett WR Miami (Fla.) Sr 5-10 185
116 Bryce Petty QB Baylor rSr 6-3 230
152 Taiwan Jones ILB Michigan State Sr 6-3 245
174 Nick Marshall CB Auburn Sr 6-1 207
194 Shaquille Riddick DE West Virginia Sr 6-6 236
211 Nick Boyle TE Delaware Sr 6-4 268
216 Josh Robinson RB Mississippi State rJr 5-8 217
235 Miles Dieffenbach OG Penn State rSr 6-3 305

I admit that I don't have great knowledge at the bottom of the draft, and two CBs might be one to many. With the owner and the HC both attaching Nix, Brown is the young guy that has time to develop under Wilfork, and can play DE or DT. Dorsett adds blazing speed and allows you play Short outside. Petty is allowed to develop behind Hoyer/Mallett. Giving us our best QB room in team history.

After that, I am filling positions more so than drafting players. Some of you guys will have better selection in the late rounds.

Also I know I have been on Brown for some time, but I don't see a WR at 16, and I am not sure they go RB that early.

A key question is whether Bryce Petty is an O'Brien type of quarterback. Plus, if he drafts someone too famous to hide on the practice squad, is it admission that they wasted a pick on Savage?

We will not know if Petty is an BOB type guy until he is or isn't picked. As for Savage, no one knows what BOB thinks there either. To my knowledge, BOB has not discussed Savage this offseason. And taking a flyer on a QB last year does not preclude us from taking a another guy this year. That is just my opinion.

I think its excellent for Texans to now have ten draft picks to work with this year. We already have three promising young QB, why confuse the issue further by drafting a fourth which couldn't stay on active roster , unless super good.

I suppose comments by BOB and RSmith are in full mislead the public mode to do with draft right now.

Found this interesting list of about 50 guys Texans have met with and had private workouts preparing for this draft. The list keeps growing. Wonder how many of these will be drafted or UDFA for Texans.

Nice List Thanks

Fanspeak.com updated their Draft Board and it feels like it is getting closer to the truth. This was the top 15 picks:
1 TB - Marcus Mariota
2 Ten - Leonard Williams
3 Jax - Shane Ray
4 Oak - Kevin White
5 Was - Dante Fowler
6 NYJ - Vic Beasley
7 Chi - Amari Cooper
8 Atl - Randy Gregory
9 NYG - Brandon Scherff
10 StL - Trae Waynes
11 Min - Devante Parker
12 Cle - Landon Collins
13 NO - Malcolm Brown
14 Mia - TJ Clemmings
15 SF - Bud Dupree

So, for the Texans I selected the following :
16 OL - La'el Collins
51 CB - Kevin Johnson
82 OLB - Anthony Chickillo
116 QB - Bryce Petty
152 WR - Chris Conley
174 ILB - Jake Ryan
194 RB - Karlos Williams
211 CB - Justin Coleman
216 DL - Leterrius Walton
235 DL - Ray Drew

Since Savage was only a 4th rounder I don't think there would (or at least should) be much wailing if another young QB were drafted to compete with him. It's not like they invested much in him. Heck, since they drafted him they've already traded for and re-signed Mallett and signed Hoyer.

I am okay with Malcolm Brown, he has size to play the NT and can push the pocket. I am a fan of Dorsett, he reminds me of Steve Smith. The 2 CBs you drafted you let battle for the Nickel and the other can play Safety when you want D. Swag on the bench because he's a liability in the passing game.

Petty is my favorite QB in the draft, if you can get him in the 3rd round or later. He is behind a guy like Andrew Luck because he's been in a gimmick Offense, which is why I shake my head about Mariota being discussed as a 1st round pick. He needs time to adjust to the NFL, but I think he could be better than Alex Smith, Andy Dalton, or Ryan Mallet in two years.

T. Jones can tackle, but I am concerned about pass coverage.

The TE reminds me of Fedorowicz. Solid, but not spectacular.
