My shot at the Texans Off-season.

This is my first time attempting something like this and I am not savvy with the Salary Cap or Contract Structuring.

I read dozens of mock drafts and attempted several simulations on PFF and PFN to get a “semi-understanding” of where players will go in the draft. I also read several scouting reports, draft profiles, as well as watched several hours of video on players coming out in the draft.

With that being said, I am very aware that I am an amateur. Flame away.
