    Rankin has short arms.

    Ah, the Ravens wanted a tackle instead of a center

    Texans looking to trade for Clint Capela. More centers are needed.

    I’m going to guess most “analysts” are basing the Guard/Center projection purely on his arm length. Rankin was one of the best JUCO tackles, started all his MissSt games at tackle, all SEC at tackle, etc...yet guys say he’ll be best at a position he has never played.

    With that said, I would’ve liked Orlando Brown.

    Houston Texans: Martinas Rankin, OT/G, Mississippi State A- Grade
    No one should be surprised that the Texans are addressing their offensive line, as they absolutely need to protect Deshaun Watson. It'll be interesting to see if the Texans use Martinas Rankin at offensive tackle or guard, as he could play in both spots. Rankin could've gone in the second round without any qualms, so I like this selection.

    How do the best available CBs and TEs look?

    Well sure, anyone could bust.

    Texans are in the 3rd, where their specialty is to draft busts.

    I can see Texans taking Holton Hill or Ian Thomas.

    They used a round 1 pick on Lamar Jackson. That's questionable. You're right that no one could be worse in the mid-rounds than Ricky Smith.

    I can see the Texans picking another center, how about Quessenberry, we'll be 2x Q strong.

    I would love, love, love Ian Thomas, but there are risks in terms of not a really large body of work.
