    I love the players, but don't love the fit with Noel. As another poster said above, the Texans need another outside receiver, not another slot guy. Kirk played 80%+ of his snaps in the slot last season, and that's where Tank lines up more frequently as well. They need someone who can play outside opposite Collins and be a bigger target, both on outside routes and in the red zone. If the Texans use a high draft pick on a WR, I want an outside guy. Or I'd rather them go TE instead and get someone more versatile than Schultz.

    None of us are Nostradamus but I think we can get better players with those first two picks. 3rd round picks seem more appropriate for those two.

    Really? I think it's more likely they get picked in the first than fall to the third. I haven't seen a single mock that has those two lower than the mid-2nd round. And most have them toward the end of the 1st.

    Is Banks projected mainly as a guard or tackle in the NFL?

    Is that because a lot of tackles are projected as interior linemen in the NFL, or is this now a deep tackle draft?

    I may definitely be wrong, although I do believe there will be better choices.

    I think moreso Guard unless he demonstrates that can play T in the league.

    Fwiw here is PFF'S latest mock from April 7. They project us as taking Josh Simmons. I have mixed feelings on that pick and I'm not sure if Nick is going to roll the dice.

    There is a 0% chance demeco or caserio wants Skatterbo. He showed up to the combine with his hat like this. Absolue embarrasement. I wouldnt go to mcdonalds looking like this. Johnny Football 2.0

    No. You show up for a job interview looking like a 10 yr old, and nobody gonna hire you. Especially demeco

    Kelvin Banks has All Pro potential as a Tackle but I can see him taking the Tunsil route and starting off at G his first season.

    That’s if he’s here.

    Then there’s going to be almost no one drafted.
    Most of them look ridiculous, gaudy jewelry and clothing.
