If I had to guess based on everything that’s been said…
Based on everything that's been said about how the Texans operate and how they would like to build their team, based on Albright's tweet speculating draft landings and based on the athleticism, film and how these guys play- if I had to guess who we end up drafting in day 1, I would guess Travon Walker and Andrew Booth Jr.
Now this is just my best guess at this point but to me it makes a lot of sense to guess that and here's why:
Travon Walker is that selfless team player they keep talking about. They want someone with a great work ethic and who understands teamwork and Walker actually shows on film being selfless, setting up other guys and fulfilling defensive duties. He's also a freak athlete with lots of size and versatility. Sounds like the exact kind of guy they want and he's at a major position of need that can change the run defense with his presence alone.
Andrew Booth Jr. I can't help but think they will love him every time I see him because of his willingness to tackle, his awareness and how he constantly makes plays in space- great for pass defense but also for run defense. A true outside corner who may still be there when they make their selection. He's got man coverage abilities and can play zone, although he'll definitely need more attention there apparently.
This is just my guess based on fit and the things that have been said. This is not who I want although I won't be mad if this is the haul. Personally I want Ikem and Garrett most but I trust the Texans scouting staff, Lovie and Caserio way more than myself when it comes to this stuff.
