With The 20th Pick Of The 2010 SB Nation NFL Mock Draft, Your Houston Texans Select...

He’s still at the top of my list for guys who have a realistic(ish) shot at falling to us.

what he could do for the defense would be better value than just about any other pick.

The 2nd would pick should then go CB (Brandon Ghee, Kareem Jackson, Dominque Franks) or FS Morgan Burnett if those CBs weren’t around. A Williams-Ghee combo would vastly improve the defense.

I pick Dan Williams @ 20 every time
I just see there not being any extremely talented guys except Dan. plus I think Okoye with a true NT will blow up this year!!

Agreed.

Way to go against the grain :-p. That said, I like.

wants a pass rushing UT so NT is probably not on the radar. brian price is more likely (sigh)

anybody that could challenge this pick ( E. Thomas, J. Haden, K. Wilson, C.J. Spiller (maybe), M. Iupati (maybe), T. Mays (huge maybe)) is off the board it kind of made it an obvious pick.
I say obvious because we kind of picked according to what we want to see not really what the Texans will do, cause with the words that come from our “insider” (tomorrow yesterday last week on April 49th we will select Clay Cushing!) it’s never an obvious thing.

…dare to dream.

so I am not too worried about the selection. I am hoping for a CB/S or dangling a RB to trade down and gather more picks. This year’s first round pick by the Texans will be a statement selection. That statement will either be a sexy pick or trading down to plug holes to solidify our roster…

Quotations that I loved

Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to have a defensive tackle who wasn’t an embarrassment. No, wait… I mean the Texans have yearned for that.

hahaha! I used to have English teachers that used to use that in teaching us 5 paragraph essays. Good one ;-).

Some of you might be saying, “Hey, the Texans’ run game last year was a joke! You guys need a running back.” This is half right, but the basic assumptions are incorrect. Our run game was horrible because we trotted out two of the worst starting guards in football last year, and our run game play-calling was dark humor. We believe we can address the run game in later rounds, and with Iupati and Pouncey already off the board, the talent gap at NT is simply greater. Ryan Mathews might be a good pick here, but not even the love child of Adrian Peterson and Barry Sanders would’ve done much behind the play of our offensive line last year.

beautiful! well said =)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your explanation of the pick. It pretty much encapsulates the humor and analysis that I love about Battle Red Blog.

I mean the guy “just wins” and isn’t that what its all about?

J/K. I loved the pick. Raises a Shiner Kosmos Reserve Here’s to hoping this mock draft is the closest thing to reality in less than a month.
