    Merci, Blacklock, Jernigan, Watt
    Cunningham, BMac, Cole

    Martin, Scarlett, Omenihu, Blackmon, Edge as part of the rotation. Not too bad...

    Entering the draft there was only a 12% chance Ross Blacklock would be available at pick No. 40, per ESPN's NFL Draft Predictor.

    Texans DT Ross Blacklock on being drafted by hometown team: 'I had pretty high hopes for the first round. I'm beyond excited to play in my hometown and do great things for the city and play great football. I'm just excited.'

    Blacklock grew up watching #Texans, recalls attending a game and watching Brian Cushing and Andre Johnson play. Says it will be "surreal" to now play next to J.J. Watt.

    — Deepi Sidhu (@DeepSlant) April 25, 2020


    Blacklock feels the #TCU scheme translates well to what Anthony Weaver is going to run with the #Texans. Blacklock feels he is prepared for the situation.

    One of the few players the #Texans worked out before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Spent a full day with OB at NRG Stadium. https://t.co/LQgLrW3fqg

    Blacklock, on what he brings: physicality, passion, leadership, relentless effort.

    Yikes... too many people like the pick. Got used to Tytus Howard-like reactions.

    I don’t know anything about him. But I have no faith in BoB so I’m assuming he sucks

    Definitely a position of need -- Blacklock replaces Reader.

    Ross ran the FORTY .433 faster than DJ.

    He's a much higher pick so athleticism should be better. It seems the speed should help with pass rushing compared to Reader.

    We'll see if everything comes to fruition.

    He was awesome at TCU. Hope it translates and like the pick (but I’m biased). I was surprised he was still available

    Positivity? In a Texans thread? Absolutely no place for that.
