Right after the combine they were talking about him as a lock 1st rounder because of that 40 time. Maybe he's fallen off that some, as people love size, but people love speed too. I think the expectation is that he's gone by the time they come up. Probably a late first round, early second round guy.
During the workout process, heading into the draft, Aaron Wilson has been there, letting us know who the Texans have brought in to put through the paces. The following players have participated in individual workouts: —Anthony Coyle (OT, Fordham) —Nathan Shepherd (DL, Fort Hays) —Dorance Armstrong (EDGE, Kansas) —Joshua Kalu (DB, Nebraska) —Emmanuel Ellerbee (LB, Rice) —Dane Cruikshank (S, Arizona) —Greg Senat (OT, Wagner) —Curtis Mikell (CB, Southern Mississippi) —Ogbonna Okoronkow (EDGE, Oklahoma State) —Malik Reaves (CB, Villanova) —Chris Hardeman (CB, Houston Baptist) —Jeremiah Briscoe (QB Sam Houston State) —Dorian O’Daniel (LB, Clemson) —Rashard Fant (CB, Indiana) —Nick Nelson (CB, Wisconsin) —Marcus Oliver (OL, University Of Houston) —Jermaine Kelly (DB, San Jose State) —Armanti Foreman (WR, University of Texas) —Matt Adams (LB, University Of Houston) —Zaycoven Henderson (DL, Texas A&M) —Armani Watts (S, Texas A&M) —Holton Hill (CB, University of Texas) —Jalyn Judkins (WR, San Angelo State) —Jordan Veasy (WR, Cal) —Joe Zema P, (Incarnate Word) —Michael Dickson (P, University Of Texas) —Tyrin Holloway (CB, Western Illinois) —Steve Dunbar (WR, University Of Houston) —Kyle Allen (QB, University of Houston)
I know he is a punter, and nobody cares about punters, but Michael Dickson from Texas will be punting in the NFL for 10+ years. Far and away the best punter in college football. He'll likely get drafted in the last two rounds though, so getting him as an UDFA is wishful thinking.
Ya wouldn't be surprised if he goes higher, maybe even in the 4th. Dickson will be an instant weapon for whatever team get him.

Would you guys give up both 2nds next year and a 3rd this year for Gronk? or maybe a 1st and 2 3rds? I mean the offense would be unstoppable.
