Please dont draft Clemson players high in the draft. They have a sense of entitlement. I would pick Randle in the 4th-5th rd.
Here's my recent Mock Draft with a couple trade backs. 34. Texans - Max Iheanachor (OT, Arizona State) TRADE: ARI receive: 1.28 <-> HOU receive: 2.34, 4.104 38. Texans - Brandon Cisse (CB, South Carolina) 59. Texans - Dani Dennis-Sutton (EDGE, Penn State) 69. Texans - Sam Hecht (IOL, Kansas State) 104. Texans - Sam Roush (TE, Stanford) TRADE: ARI receive: 1.28 <-> HOU receive: 2.34, 4.104 106. Texans - Bud Clark (S, TCU) 141. Texans - Kaleb Proctor (DL, SE Louisiana) 187. Texans - Adam Randall (RB, Clemson) TRADE: WAS receive: 5.167 <-> HOU receive: 6.187, 6.209 209. Texans - Justin Jefferson (LB, Alabama) TRADE: WAS receive: 5.167 <-> HOU receive: 6.187, 6.209 243. Texans - Brett Thorson (P, Georgia)
I really like the tape on Gesky. Powerful, heavy hands, and a bit of nastiness. Potential move from Left Guard to Center.
Two RBs that I think would fit well with what the Texans are trying to do that could be had late or as UDFA: Dean Connors from UH/Rice and Jamal Haynes from Georgia Tech. Didnt follow GT but really like several of their players this draft season (Rutledge, van den Burg and now Haynes). Check them out: Connors: Haynes:
You're going to eventually need a talented running back with the metrics. I hope they can get Washington late in the 2nd or 3rd, they can also trade back up a little higher in the 2nd to get him (if that's someone they consider a want). But i assume that's not a priority since they traded for Montgomery and still have Woody.
Rand;e meets a lot of the metrics. Plus being a former WR you know he will be a good 3rd down RB at worst.
I would be surprised if they traded up for another running back. They traded for Montgomery and they traded up to get Woody. I expect them to draft one but I expect it later in the draft and Randall has me intrigued because of his route running capabilities creating mismatches and he's a tough runner.
