Keep the love coming All right . So the team today we're doing a mock draft for is the Houston Texans . I am trying to figure out how many picks these guys have this year . I did not see that , so I missed that one . My apologies , but either way , we know what they're looking for . They are only on their sites . They're posting .
They have a need at Y receiver , which makes sense . Their following days is coming back off of ACL . And then on top of that you have Robert Woods , who's a free agent now Doubt very highly he's coming back . She takes a really , really good deal . Tank Dale coming back off of a leg injury , multiple .
As a matter of fact , nico's been having hamstring issues Go blue baby , but he is definitely the number one right now . Until digs gets back , we'd have a nice little staff there outside of woods and bell being out for a little bit , but right now you got digs , bell and nico . That's not a bad situation , but I think they got eyes .
Another wide receiver , because they don't know how these guys three guys basically coming off major injuries are going to uh react , getting back into the offseason training , offseason training program and then , of course , back onto the field . So wide receiver is one of the knees interior o-line , without question , probably at guard , mostly uh offensive tackle .
Uh , I see I kind of can see why . There too some d-line , some edge help for sure , and some help at cornerback and running back as a backup to Joe Mixon . Behind him is Ogun Bawali and he's a free agent . He was always a wide receiver for wherever he was playing , especially in Tampa before that . So behind him is not a lot of help .
Damian Pierce appears to not be the answer . So a backup at for Joe Mixon is going to be definitely in my target list . So we got a few rounds to pick here . I'm going to be looking at probably interior o-line uh wide receiver running back and maybe , if I can get a tackle , I'll try to help these guys out with this .
So let's see what we can find here . We're looking for reliable guys to help round this team out . Honestly , this team is already doing pretty well with uh stacking talent . Uh , honestly , I can't say any bad things about it . Really , some guys just have some injury issues and they kind of fell back a little bit .
But honestly , honestly , this team is really good . They really put together very well and I think that they're going to be a force to be reckoned with in years to come . There's some holes to fill , so we want to definitely try to help them out with that .
So , for all my Texan fan friends out there , bear with me , I'm trying to give you some help out here . You guys are going to be picking at 25 here and dropping back two picks just to get a . I'm picking a fourth round , I guess fifth round Not quite sure it's worth it . So let's keep on moving now . No , thank you , we don't think we need that .
So we'll keep on moving and find somebody that's going to help us out . So right now , right at the top , armand Membu . I like him a lot . I got some information on him , but the bottom line is that he is a stud back there . I mean , he's a mauler . He was shredding opposing defenders and he's really good .
I think he's going to be a real asset to help out CJ Stroud . Lord knows he needs it . Last year he had a bit of a regression and he some of it was predicted , but we realized that he really needs some help . I mean a member-of-the-kind guy . You know he's really a wide tackle so I'm not sure he can play left tackle but perhaps he can move over .
He's explosive , got really smooth delivery . He's really good at stopping the run . I can't say too much bad about him . There's some technique things that can be worked on . But I think Houston has some good coaches that can help him out with that . We're going to go ahead and take Membo here to help out that offensive line because they really need it .
They had some big fails in the run in the pass game last year . Got a new OC coming in . I'm sure he'd love to have somebody he can work with . Uh , who hasn't learned so much bad stuff I have to unlearn it .
So I think , with a new oc and with all the major failures in the past in the one game last year , I think maybe we'll be able to help him out uh . So let's keep on looking to see what we have that we can try to help this team out with . We're going to pass on that . Ooh , I like this guy , greg Zabel .
He's been a big riser on the draft boards recently , been looking really good at senior bowl and apparently he's getting his name being out there a lot more than what we expected originally . So he's rising real quick . I like him because he's played all four O-line positions .
He's best suited at guard , but he's played all four O-line positions well , four of them in his collegiate career and I think that he is the kind of versatility that these guys need here . Some of the guys on the O-line are a little bit up in age and probably playing their last year or two in Houston .
So I think this guy's going to be great in pass protection quick feet , you know . He's definitely able to shred rushes and stuff and I think this is good . So I think he has a good core strength and balance and he's just a really tough guy . I like him here . I think CJ has a good core strength and balance and he's just a really tough guy .
I like him here . I think CJ Shroud is going to love him , especially if he plays left tackle , which he's able to do for sure . We got a little bit of help with the O-line . That was one of the biggest things I wanted to get accomplished . So now I want to start looking at some offense for these guys . They sure definitely need something .
So I'm going gonna try to see if we can help him out in that regard . What we got going on here ooh wow . This is the toughie . Let's move off of this for a second . I want to see if we have any tickets here . Okay , let's go ahead and start off . This is the reach for us , but I like him here .
I like him because of what I believe the running back core needs behind Joe Mixon and I know I'm passing over DJ Giddens . I don't know a whole lot about him , but I do know Scatterbow . We're going to go ahead and take him . He's a bowling ball for sure . He's the kind of guy that is a great complement to Joe Mixon .
I think it's going to make the running back core stronger . I know he had some big talk going into the last game of the collegiate season for them in the playoffs and things didn't go quite Arizona State's way , but they got manhandled for the most part . But Scatterbow was who he said he was .
He's definitely that man and I think this is going to be a valued asset on the Texans . So I like this pick . I'm going to go ahead and do a little bit of a reach , but I like it . All right , I'm going to reject that trade as well . Let a little bit of a reach , but I like it . All right , I'm going to reject that trade as well .
Let's see where we are . I think this is the kind of guy I think is going to help them . It's who I think it is . First off , let me make sure I don't lose anybody at DT here . Ooh , I'm going to stay on offense . I can't help myself . There's a stretch for us here . I'm going to go with Nick Nash , dan Jose State . This kid is electric .
I think he's a fantastic player . I think he takes the tops off of defenses , has great hands , he's reliable , great route runner . I think he's going to be the kind of guy that I think is going to be a big help to CJ Stroud While these guys get back to their full health status . Meaning Diggs , dale and , of course , nico .
So I like to say I got Membu with the first pick , we got Gray Zabel with the second pick , cameron Scadable from Arizona State , the bowling ball himself and Nick Nash . I think that the Texans are looking pretty good , but I want to hear you guys' thoughts .
