2015 Mocks

Walter has his newest mock up with a few of the extra picks in it. But most of the picks have not changed.

16 Houston Texans: Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia

Todd Gurley to the Texans!? Don't they have Arian Foster? Sure, but Foster is usually banged up, and Todd Gurley, despite his injury, would be too good for Houston to pass up at No. 16. The Texans don't have a quarterback, and it doesn't look like they'll be able to get one this offseason - Brian Hoyer doesn't really count - so they better make sure they can run the hell out of the ball. Foster is too injury-prone and unreliable, so having Gurley in the backfield to split the carries would solidify that aspect of Houston's offense.

Gurley obviously couldn't perform at the NFL Combine, but he did check out positively in the medical. He's ahead of schedule, and many of the teams are reportedly pleased with his progress. He could end up being a steal here, as he would be the favorite to go sixth overall to the Jets if he were healthy.

51 Houston Texans: Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami

The Texans lost Andre Johnson to the Colts, so they'll need a No. 2 wideout across from DeAndre Hopkins. Phillip Dorsett has moved up an entire round after a tremendous Senior Bowl. He also looked good at the NFL Combine.

82 Houston Texans: Sean Hickey, OT/G, Syracuse

The Texans managed to re-sign Derek Newton, but they still have to find some help at one of the guard positions.

116 Houston Texans: Henry Anderson, DE/DT, Stanford

The Texans never properly replaced Antonio Smith on the defensive line, so here's a potential solution.

152 Houston Texans: Cody Riggs, CB, Notre Dame

The Texans could use some depth at corner, as they were in trouble last year when some of their starters went down.

174 Houston Texans: Xzavier Dixon, DE/OLB, Alabama

The Texans could target an edge rusher early on in the 2015 NFL Draft. If one falls to No. 16, Houston will consider addressing the position. It's more likely, however, that the Texans take one in Rounds 2-5.
