The NFL Draft is not until April 23rd in Las Vegas, but it's never too early for a Mock Draft. How will Houston's talent be represented in the 2020 NFL Draft?
Here is VYPE's Matt Malatesta's 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.
…
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?
...

LSU OL Austin Deculus from Cy-Fair (Stayed)
Northwestern LB Paddy Fisher of Katy (Stayed)
Stanford OL Walker Little from Episcopal (Stayed)
