    RB Jonathon Brooks is my late round wish. Could drop to the 4th with the ACL injury.

    I wonder who has a low drop rate and low completion percentage because the QB can't get them the ball? That would be perfect for C J and probably a bargain pickup.

    Most people think Brooks will return next season. He’d be a good pickup otherwise.

    Really? I did not know this. Texas has a nice group of RBs waiting.


    There's not many RBs in the draft that I know of.

    Tre Henderson
    Trey Benson
    Blake Corum
    Will Shipley

    I'm hoping either Thomas are Legette will be available in the 2nd. If I had to trade up to get one of them I definitely would do it.

    Receiving corps of

    Collins/Dell/Thomas/Schultz = Weapons.

    Add in one of Benson/Allen/Irving at RB and we will see the offense that Texans fans want.

    MPJ is a star in the making. I was on the fence about some of his fundamentals, but he's a baller cut from the same cloth as CJ with accuracy being the star of the show he makes tight window big play throws that win games. He's my QB 3 behind Caleb and Drake and could wind up the better pro.

    He certainly was impressive last night and all year for that matter. Was surprised by his runs, caught me off guard. He has a unique delivery, but he can really sling the rock and has great touch as well. It will be fun to see how the QBs shake out during the draft process and how many go in RD1 (hoping 4-5 at least to push better players our way).

    Hope Penix Jr. gets drafted high. More chance for Texans to draft someone good with the Browns pick. Downsides are his age and major history of injuries...and that throwing mechanic, not sure if that'll work for him in the NFL. Wonder if he'll survive his first year.

    I was not a fan of Tua's throwing motion either at the beginning. I just love gamers. Guys who get up for the big one instead of falling victim to the pressure.

    Hoping Odunze has a poor showing at the championship game!

    Don’t think that would hurt him much. He is damn good.

    If Texans wants him, going to have to trade up for him. Honestly, there's so many good promising WRs this year...just not worth trading assets to move up for one.

    Still would love Coleman from FSU

    Also seen a mock draft that had us taking Brian Thomas from LSU

    He's unlikely to be there, but grab him if he is. 11th overall on Draft Buzz. 24th on PFF Draft Simulator.
