DREAMS REALIZED: H-Town heroes ready for NFL Draft
...
THE FIRST ROUNDERS
Jaylen Waddle, Episcopal, Alabama, KR-WR
Waddle was special in college in a small sample of games. He was banged up last season but when he's right… he's a game-breaker. He can return kicks and play the slot. His wiggle is unmatched and he's strong in the lower body. He's a Top 10 pick.
…
Rashawn Slater, Fort Bend Clements, Northwestern, OL
Slater is a physical guard with some serious pedigree. His father Reggie Slater played in the NBA for over a decade. Slater opted out last season, so that could make him slide out of the Top 10, but his football IQ, size, and power make him a first-rounder.
…
DAY 2
Sam Cosmi, Atascocita, Texas, OL
Cosme has proven he can play at an elite level. He started 34 games at Texas and is a solid pass blocker. At 6-foot-7, he still has room to fill out in the pro game.
…
Joseph Ossai, Oak Ridge, Texas, LB
An outside LB with great explosion. Can get after the QB and athletic enough to help in coverage. Great tackler in space. Can take over games when the motor is at full bore.
…
Marvin Wilson, Episcopal, Florida State, DT
Hmmmmm. This was a bonafide NFL guy coming out of high school, but too many coaching staff changes at Florida State hurt as well as injuries. His best football may be in front of him, though his money will come in the second contract.
…
Walker Little, Episcopal, Stanford, OL
See Wilson. Little was the total package at Episcopal, though he hasn't played much in two years. He's an interesting draft pick on potential, as he has a ton of it. But people lose jobs drafting on potential. He's athletic and has a great frame.
…
DAY 3
Kyle Trask, Manvel, Florida, QB
Everyone knows the Trask story. He didn't play much at Manvel behind D'Eriq King. He emerged at Florida and had some big moments for the Gators. Trask was the prototypical QB 10 years ago, but the game has changed. He's not super athletic but is very accurate and possesses a great football IQ. He could have a decade-long career as a backup. Nothing wrong with that.
…
Grant Stuard, Oak Ridge, Houston, LB
Motor… motor… and more motor. This dude is a maniac on the field. He will star on special teams and make a roster. Then he'll go to work on his craft as a safety, LB, or full back. Stuard has always played with a chip on his shoulder. Ain't stopping now.
…
Paddy Fisher, Katy, Northwestern, LB
Had 214 solo tackles at Northwestern. He's likely a free agent guy. It all comes down to being able to work in space at the NFL level and that takes some FAST TWITCH.
K'Lavon Chaisson, North Shore, LSU
Who Tops Matt Malatesta's VYPE Mock Draft 1.0?
No. 1 K'Lavon Chaisson, LSU, OLB, North Shore
The former North Shore product won a Class 6A Title and an NCAA National Title. He is an outside linebacker with tremendous rangy and speed.
…
No. 2 CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma, WR, Foster
This Falcon checks every box. The size, speed, and hands. He's hungry and will be a first-rounder.
…
No. 3 Grant Delpit, LSU, S, St. Thomas
Delpit transferred to IMG after his junior year at St. Thomas, but he's another product of "DBU" who can hit and cover.
…
No. 4 Josh Jones, Houston, OL, FB Bush
Has athletic, basketball feet for a big man. He played hoops at Bush, pass-blocked at UH and will be a 10-year vet in the NFL.
…
No. 5 Kenneth Murray, Oklahoma, LB, Elkins
Heat-seeking missile on defense. Was a beast in Big 12 with Freshman of the Year and First-Team All-Big 12 accolades.
…
No. 6 Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma, QB, Channelview
Can't count this guy out. QBs at a premium.
…
No. 7 Ross Blacklock, TCU, DT, Elkins
Big man (6-4, 305-pounds) in the middle. Big 12 Co-Defensive Freshman of the Year. Will anchor at DL for years.
…
247 Sports
CeeDee Lamb, Foster, OU
No. 8 Jordan Elliott, Missouri, DT, Westside
At 6-foot-4, 315-pounds, the Westside product had signed with Texas then transferred to Mizzou. He was All-SEC selection.
…
No. 9 Jordyn Brooks, Texas Tech, LB, Stratford
At 6-foot-1, 210-pounds, Brooks is a tackling machine
…
No. 10 Antoine Winfield Jr., Minnesota, DB, The Woodlands
Undersized safety but plays BIG like his NFL father. Made huge plays at Minnesota over three years of playing.
…
No. 11 Patrick Taylor, Jr. Memphis, RB, Atascocita
With Titan's Derrick Henry driving Tennessee to the AFC Championship, it helps Taylor's stock. At 6-foot-3, 230-pounds, Taylor is a beast and doesn't have much tread on the tires.
…
No. 12 Quartney Davis, Texas A&M, WR, Langham Creek
Slot WR had good career for Aggies. Great footwork, pretty good size. Great mid-round pick.
…
No. 13 Darius Anderson, TCU, RB, George Ranch
A versatile RB, who is a sleeper pick. Carried the Frogs in several games and helped himself in the Senior Bowl.
…
No. 14 Tyrie Cleveland, Florida, WR, Westfield
Great size. Not used that much at Florida. More as a decoy or blocker. Could catch on with special teams.
…
No. 15 Debione Renfro, Texas A&M, DB, Pearland
Long-shot, but had pretty good tape as a freshman. Has solid size.
…
No. 16 Braden Mann, Texas A&M, P, Cy-Fair
He had one of the greatest collegiate punting seasons of all time, Ray Guy Award Winner...how early will he go?
...
