2nd for Boyd seems really high, thinking he’ll be a day 3 guy after his Senior Bowl performance. IMO Boyd is a guy teams will want to like and look at closely but ultimately the tape will be difficult to overcome.
Think there is a good chance him, Love and Mullen will be available. Also seeing Michael Jackson in the 2nd here and there.
Also be sure to keep an eye out for Justin Layne. I think he has a chance to be better than any of the top CB's in this draft. Possibly the best.
Agree, maybe Trayvon Mullen in the first and linemen at #55 and #56. But they probably would have you missing on Little, Ford, Taylor, Cajuste, Dillard, and Jonah Williams..... um , second thought get one of those guys first. By the way, I spent the boring Super Bowl watching Trent Brown. He didn't look agile or aggressive, he just looked huge and he just went and was huge in front of his man. People didn't get around him or through him to make a tackle; Brady was barely touched in the playoffs so I guess he's for real.
Depending on the talent available I'm picking an OT in the 1st (Gotta do a better job of protecting Watson.) Then trading up to the top of the 2nd, where a guy like Mullen or Sheffield should be available.
The list of good CBs is shorter than the list of good tackles. You risk missing out on a good CB if you wait till 2-23. But obviously a lot can change between now and the draft.
Agreed, but I want the best OL they can find in both FA and the draft. Gotta protect Watson at all costs. There will be some good CB's there in the 2nd RD. Lonnie Johnson, Kendall Sheffield, Julian Love, Isiah Johnson, Savion Smith etc... are all good prospects and one or 2 of them should be available in the 2nd rd when the Texans are picking. What I really hope happens is Trent Brown becomes a FA and signs with the Texans. I would pay top dollar for a young starting LT.
a new name 23. Houston Texans: Dalton Risner, OL, Kansas State Yo, Brian Gaine… offensive line no matter what, sir. We can’t have Deshaun Watson getting sacked 62 times in a season ever again. It was painful to watch, much less be the guy taking the hits. And we don’t need a project, we need a guy that can step in right away. Enter, Risner. A four-year starter in college, Risner can play all 5 positions on the offensive line and has been incredibly consistent throughout his K-State career. While he has good mobility, Risner’s tenacity and technique as a blocker are what truly stand out. He is a punishing blocker with dominant play strength and the type of competitive mentality team’s are looking for in an offensive lineman.

Seen this. Didn't like it so I didn't acknowledge it haha Plus, I don't see why we draft a safety unless we plan on not resigning Mathieu. We already have Hal & Reid.
Risner's name has come up quite a bit, had a good showing Senior Bowl as well. We know the Texans like versatile lineman so can see them being interested.
Cody Ford and Greg Little falling to the 2nd/3rd are head scratchers. If things did fall this way, I'm all over Baker at #23, Little/Cajuste in the 2nd, and Damien Harris in the 3rd.
I would prefer not to see Risner at left tackle. Not the quickest kick slide I've ever seen. I think hes going to have issues with super quick NFL edge rushers. Right tackle or guard? Sure. He's kind of a chonk. Guard in super straight ahead power running offense seems like his sweet spot.
BIG FACTS. (1st)Deandre Baker (2nd)Greg Little Rock Ya-Sin/Julian Love (3rd) Damien Harris I'd rather get two corners early. Then I'd be ok with Damien Harris in the 3rd
