With their game against the Jets today
Sammie Coates Jersey , the Texans have hit the cycle for possible days to play an NFL game. This season, they’ve played on a Thursday, Sunday, Monday, and
now Saturday for arguably the weirdest schedule in the NFL this season. Not only
that, they are traveling to New York Jersey to play in dismal weather against a
dismal opponent. The Jets are currently tied for last in the AFC East with a 4-9
record.They are fresh off their first win in seven games. Head coach Todd Bowles
and Co. are knee-deep in a reconstruction of the team, but they may not last
long enough to see the full plan come to fruition. The Jets finally have their
franchise QB, who when not leading the league in interceptions (15), has the
30th passer rating in the NFL. Sam Darnold is dealing with a foot sprain, so the
he may be apprehensive to leave the pocket against the Texans’ pressure. Here’s
to a good first quarter.Comment away. NOTE: Please do not post any images,

Draft2019 NFL Draft: Houston Texans’ First Round Nightmare Scenario
New,40commentsMaybe Houston shouldn’t have won the division. CDTOh, the NFL
Draft, a three day extravaganza of predicting, projecting, and praying that
months of studying will pay off. Some teams have more to desperately pray for
than others, but fortunately for Texans’ fans
Ibraheim Campbell Jersey , the anticipation does not have to wait until the third round begins this year.With the 23rd pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, there
should be plenty of talent available for the Texans to select. However, the
first tier of offensive line and cornerback talent may be off the board by the
time the Texans go on the clock. If so, the Texans may be scrambling to find
comparable talent with a first round pick at corner or offensive tackle. This is
how it could happen, and what Houston should do if it does.Part One: A Run on
Offensive LinemenTo compensate for the best defensive line draft in recent
memory, teams respond with a mid-first round run on offensive linemen. If you’ve
studied the myriad of mock drafts posted on a daily basis, you’ve seen this
scenario outlined below. Everyone and their mother is projecting the Jags take
Taylor with the seventh overall pick to replace Jeremy Parnell. Taylor is the
most NFL-ready right tackle in this draft class. The Packers have other needs,
but as Aaron Rodgers’ health goes, so do the Packers; Williams would pair nicely
with David Bakhtiari to protect Rodgers’ blind side. I could also see the Pack
taking Cody Ford and moving him to guard. The Panthers have holes all over the
offensive line and Dillard would shore up the left side of the line. Although I
doubt Dillard makes it all the way to 16, he likely won’t get past the Panthers
if he does slide a tad. The Vikings have an equally miserable offensive line as
the Texans and would subsequently pick the best lineman available in this
scenario. Ford is my ideal Texans draft pick, though Weston surely disagrees.
Like that kid on the playground that follows the bully and gets the last kick
in, the Chargers leap the Texans in this scenario to nab Little as their future
left tackle. Little may not be a plug-and-play first-round talent right
now
Bradley Roby Jersey White , but he has an elite ceiling if he succeeds. Part Two: The Three CBs Are Swept UpIf you are a consumer of all things
irrelevant (a/k/a mock drafts and flat earth theories), you’ve seen the former
usually presents only three corner backs drafted in the first round. Deandre
Baker, Greedy Williams, and Byron Murphy are three talented corners with vastly
different skill sets, and their draft selections will be more dependent on each
team’s scheme rather than their rank of talent.This is not the most elite
cornerback class, but need takes precedent in the middle of the draft. The
Redskins, Giants, and Titans steal the best talent right out of the Texans’
grasp. Deandre Baker is a stud corner who will dive right into the Redskins’
revolving door secondary. They will make up for his speed concerns with their
base-nickel package and with newly acquired Landon Collins. Byron Murphy would
excel for the Giants as a zone coverage corner on the other side of Janoris
Jenkins, and Greedy Williams makes a ton of sense for Tennessee since they face
Deshaun Watson, Andrew Luck and now Nick Foles twice a season. Greedy can run
with T.Y. Hilton and is physical enough to battle DeAndre Hopkins Now that the
dead are at the gates of Winterfell and all the talent in the land at positions
of need have been taken, what do the Texans do at 23? The first thought is to
trade back and get more at bats in the draft, but moving back does not make the
talent any better. If this scenario takes place on April 25th
Corey Moore Jersey White , the Texans will have to read their draft board, use every second of the clock to find a trade partner, but ultimately
they should make this pick:The talented corner is already on the Texans’ (and
Charley Casserly’s!) radar. He met with the Texans during the Senior Bowl, as
reported by Aaron Wilson.It is not that taking Ya-Sin is a guaranteed bust or a
wasted pick, but teams are looking for Pro Bowl talent in the first round.
Ya-Sin ran a 4.51 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine which was well within the
bottom half of times for defensive backs. He played most of his career at
Presbyterian and only one season at Temple as a graduate transfer. He has
prototypical cornerback size and length and knows how to be aggressive at the
top of his routes. His film during the Senior Bowl presented much needed tape
against NFL-ready talent. Ya-Sin would be an immediate solution for the Texans
at corner. The team brought in Bradley Roby and Briean Boddy-Calhoun as
band-aids, but Ya-Sin is a moldable talent who I could see Bill O’Brien and
Brian Gaine pulling the trigger on over reaching for a definite second-round
offensive lineman. Still, for all that Ya-Sin would bring, the Texans have their
eyes on a player with a higher ceiling entering the draft.
