The last mock draft before Houston begins picking their 2024 draft class
It’s time. The final no-trade Houston Texans mock draft. You can find all of my mock drafts in the links below to see how things have changed since the first edition in February.
Houston is at such a unique position where they are in a win now, best player available, build on strengths position. It’s hard to not defer to simply adding talent at the biggest positions of need; that being defensive tackle and cornerback. What I don’t think fans truly consider is that Nick Case ..read more

The First Lady of H-Town Football
It wasn’t that long ago when the Houston Texans organization was viewed as an apparent clown college of mismanagement and how-to live-look-ins of franchise incompetence.
Good ole Jack Easterby had owner Cal McNair’s ear and was Grima Wormtongue’ing his way to million$ at the expense of the good people of Houston.
Meanwhile, Cal, the Cy-Fair Athletic Ring of Honor inductee, found himself labeled as the professional sports version of Tommy Boy.
Things were not looking good.
Somewhere along the way, whether at the urging of the McNa ..read more

What is the history of RB and WR in round two?
As we continue our journey before the draft, we continue looking at the history of draft selections and their relative success. Someone wise along the way said that past was prologue. In other words, the past can help predict the future. The Houston Texans have no first rounders as of this writing, but they do have two second rounders.
Fortunately, if the season started today, the Texans could throw out a starting lineup on offense and defense capable of winning more games than it loses. That wasn’t true last year an ..read more

The third of a three-part series.
We finally get to the end of the draft series the week of the draft. A large part of this process is a way to help manage all of our expectations. Sometimes we expect way too much. It’s really about shiny examples of stars found in every round of the draft. Tom Brady, Jason Kelce, and Stefon Diggs are not the norm. The question is what is reasonable to expect given the industry standard.
In order to do that, we are taking the entire NFL and the drafts between 2010 and 2019. We stopped there because we wanted to give everyone at least ..read more

Hold up wait a minute, y’all thought Caserio was finished?
Meek Mill may not be in the Big Three of rappers, but his hit song Dreams and Nightmares is an all time hype up song that was the anthem of 2019.
I wrote this same column in 2022 heading into the draft coverage and thought I could bring this back again as we approach the phase of the pre-draft process that’s all smoke and mirrors. Logistically, nothing will change from now until the draft, unless you’re T’Vondre Sweat at this point....
Jokes aside, Houston is in a good place compared to this time las ..read more

Buckle up Buttercup, the show’s about to start
That’s right! Today is NFL Draft Monday. Not a holiday - yet - but might as well be. In fact, the great state of Texas should proclaim this entire week a holiday. After all the excitement of last year’s draft, Nick Caserio and Demeco Ryans have set the bar pretty high.
What will happen this week? Major trades? Unexpected rookie slides? Future Hall of Fame players hearing their name called?
All that is likely to occur.
