The Houston Texans are one of the hardest teams to nail down when it comes to their first round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, with the franchise's #16 pick having been linked to a litany of prospects both in mock drafts and pre-draft meetings.
SBNation's Dan Kadar took a different tact with his mock draft selection for the Texans recently, combining consensus picks from 20 other mock drafters to create an odds list for each potential Houston target:
16. Houston Texans: Shane Ray, OLB, Missouri
There are some things to consider with this pick, the first being that Alvin Dupree is gone. There’s still a tie between Ray and running back Todd Gurley. The Gurley choice is a little strange to me. Arian Foster had a bounce back 2014 season and Alfred Blue looks like a decent backup. With that in mind, the choice goes to Ray, who would give Houston another pass rusher.
The picks:
20 percent Alvin Dupree
20 percent Todd Gurley
20 percent Shane Ray
5 percent DeVante Parker
5 percent Dorial Green-Beckham
5 percent Eric Kendricks
5 percent Jaelen Strong
5 percent Jalen Collins
5 percent Malcom Brown
5 percent Shaq Thompson
5 percent Vic Beasley
As is made evident by the list, nobody has a true handle on just what the Texans are going to do at #16, perhaps not even the Texans front office.
