With the 123rd pick, the Houston Texans select...

DEWAYNE CARTER, DT, DUKE

Houston turns to bolstering their D-line.

With the 94th pick, the San Francisco 49ers select...

THEO JOHNSON, TE, PENN STATE

The 49ers lost 2 backup TEs and they need to start grooming Kittle's replacement.

Clearly the Texans establishing themselves as the dominant team in Texas.

With the 86th pick, the Houston Texans select...

JONATHON BROOKS, RB, TEXAS

Texans again stay deep-in-the-hearta to give the offense some love.

And because RBs still exist. And possibly because I owned Dameon Pierce in fantasy.

Yeah...

He jinxed it.

With pick #63. the San Francisco 49ers select...

ADISA ISAAC, DE/EDGE, PENN STATE

With the Chase Young experiment over and Randy Gregory moving on, the 49ers look to continue to keep their lines strong, this time on the defensive side.

With pick #59, the Houston Texans select...

TJ TAMPA, CB, IOWA STATE

Houston picked up a few flyers at the position in free agency, but they need a bit of insurance to play alongside Stingley.

I do think that this draft will see some interesting dynamics just based on how the different positions stack up. There'll be strong looks at some points where you may take a somewhat slighter lower player because another position still has a good number of similar options that might be available lower.

With pick #42, the Houston Texans select...

EDGERRIN COOPER, LB, Texas A&M

The Texans look to the in-state Aggies to help out their rather weak LB corps.

When I ran this, I just removed time limits on Easter Sunday. People who were available made picks but I didn't enforce the countdowns. As always, short lists if you knew your pick was coming up always help, particularly if you know you won't be checking in here.

If you're looking for options.

With pick #31, the San Francisco 49ers select...

JORDAN MORGAN, OT, Arizona

The 49ers could use a RT to play opposite Trent while hoping to develop him as an eventual replacement.

Could this be EB's Pacheco?

I wouldn't mind seeing where Habakkuk Baldonado heads.

And there he goes.  Sentenced to a life in Cleveland.

He might have been better off as a felon

I'm waiting to hear who Luke Wypler murdered

The Wypler pick killing me.

It hurts more that I had been all set on taking Tippmann there, but Titans grabbed him the pick right before me and I panicked.

C'est la vie.

PFF put together their all rookie team last year. Their offensive tackles were Braxton Jones and Abraham Lucas. Jones was drafted 5th round, Lucas in the 3rd. Just saying...
