OT: 2025 Texans Draft

Football

Okay you draftniks. Who would you take in the first round of the NFL draft? Would you draft a player, trade up or trade down? The primary needs are OL, WR, DL.

I like two local players for the Texans in the first round, Kelvin Banks, Jr., OT, Texas, and Donovan Jackson, OG, Ohio St. Both have excelled at top programs and competition.

I like the idea of getting McMillan or even Golden.

If they arent available, then Higgins or Egbuka could work.

Doubt Banks makes it that low. I think Simmons might. He would be a great pickup. I’d go RB in the 2nd, great value there. Best RB class in years. It’s also a great TE class too

In before this, inevitably, gets merged into the Texans thread.

Unless McMillan somehow falls to us, you take OL in first round.

I could see Casserio trading up for Banks….we have that extra 3rd rounder.

I also think there could be a run in the late 1st early 2nd on running backs….have to see how that plays out.

I know the Texans had Blue in the building….anyone know of others they were high on?

Hearing a lot of chatter about Texans moving up to middle of first if they can.

Casserio has that extra 3rd rounder burning a hole in his pocket.

Lance’s 3.0 Mock has Simmons dropping out of the 1st round. Did not have that on my bingo card

I think Texans will shock everyone and go WR in the 1st rd. Maybe an outside shot in a rb.

Golden. The return of the prodigal son.

Word on the street is there is a concern with Simmons on his maturity and commitment to football after his NFL interviews.

WR would not shock anyone……all the mocks seem split between WR and O-line.

I think it just depends on how the board is falling….this is a poor draft for WR’s so they may have to go that route.

I heard they are in love with Booker which would mean having to move up 10 spots or so.

The theme of this draft is under recruited. Cam Ward going #1 is such a great story. Jeanty of Boise will go top 5 probably was a Rivals 2 star.

I know we need speed at WR and we also need OL. I don’t know which is the priority, but I can see Caserio moving up for one of those. Golden would be a popular choice among the Texans fans, so would one of those big OL guys and I think they prefer the UT guy.
