Let’s see how this plays out before declaring it a disaster.

The most polarizing pick of the night was when the Tennessee Titans selected T’Vondre Sweat with the 38th pick on Friday night. The concerns surrounding the pick are legitimate. Sweat struggled to stay in shape while in college. That resulted in him spending a lot of time on the sideline instead of on the field during games. That’s a problem.

There is also the fact that he got a DUI less than a month ago. On that front, Ran Carthon said Sweat took his visit here after that happened,...

Colts GM Chris Ballard is upset, and he wants you to know that AD Mitchell is a good kid. This one is NSFW.

Leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft, there were countless rumors and reports about former Texas and current Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell.

Outside of the criticism of what we could see on tape and what Mitchell himself said to the media, there were rumors and reports of poor interviews and a bad pre-draft process from the talented pass catcher. The reason AD Mitchell was available during the back half of the second round, was in...

The Colts add more help on offense in the third round after trading up.

The Indianapolis Colts, with the 79th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft have selected Tackle Matt Goncalves from Pittsburgh . True to his word, Chris Ballard is focusing on protecting Anthony Richardson by taking Goncalves who is a 6’6” 327 pound offensive lineman.

Goncalves started 24 games at Pittsburgh at both right and left tackle. He missed most of 2023 due to a toe injury. Some believe that he might slide inside to guard in the NFL but time will tell. Goncalves was a team...

Indianapolis adds a dynamic playmaker in the second round.

The Indianapolis Colts have selected Texas wide receiver Adonai Mitchell with the No. 52 selection in the NFL Draft, according to multiple reports.

After trading back from their original pick (No. 46) and getting two fifth-round picks in return (No.’s 142 and 155), the Colts opted to take Mitchell and give second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson another weapon to work with for the upcoming season and beyond.

Mitchell was extremely productive for the Longhorns in 2023, recording 55 receptions for 845 yards and 11 touchdowns. Mitchell averaged 15.4 yards per reception and...

With the 48th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Maason Smith, defensive tackle, LSU.

Process

The top of the second round saw two WRs, three DTs, and four consecutive CBs taken off the board.

Jacksonville had its choice of Ennis Rakestraw Jr., Mike Sainristil, T.J. Tampa, Cam Hart, Andru Phillips, Khyree Jackson and Renardo Green, among other cornerbacks. Instead, the Jaguars selected a second straight Baton Rouge product in Smith.

I’ve expressed in various mediums that...

This time the Texans actually have picks!

Hey gang, you didn’t think we were done tracking the 2024 NFL Draft yesterday, did you? Because we now have the tracker for day two.

The Houston Texans, as of this writing, has already taken a nickel corner in Georgia CB Kamari Lassiter, and have two more picks scheduled tonight. Who else will be taken? Well there’s only one way to find that out, isn’t there?

Here’s the draft tracker so far (with first round results included at no extra charge!)

The Houston Texans are adding to their secondary with the No. 42 overall pick.

The Houston Texans are adding to their secondary to start the 2024 NFL Draft.

With the No. 42 overall pick, the Texans selected Georgia cornerback Kamari Lassiter.

Lassiter stands 6-0 and weighs 180 pounds, and he played at Georgia during their two National Championship seasons.

Adding Lassiter gives the Texans some more depth in the secondary behind Derek Stingley Jr., who is entering his third NFL season. Given the fact that the Texans finished 29th in completion percentage in 2023, this pick certainly addresses a need....

Sweat gives the Titans another huge presence in the middle of the defensive line.

With the 38th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans picked T’Vondre Sweat, DL, Texas. The Titans have plenty of needs on the defensive side of the ball. Sweat fills one of those needs on the line. The still need to add an inside linebacker and a safety before the season kicks off.

Sweat is a large man at 6’4 366. It will be fun to watch him and Jeffery Simmons work together on the line. That is a lot of mass to move...

The Houston Texans are set to have three picks in Friday’s NFL Draft session.

The second day of the 2024 NFL Draft is upon us, and the Houston Texans are expected to begin picking their draft class tonight.

The Texans have the Nos. 42, 59 and 86 picks tonight, but general manager Nick Caserio could move the team around.

Hayden Winks’s grade: A+

Before making this selection, the Jaguars added the equivalent to a second round pick by trading down from 16th overall. That’s already a major win for a team that has holes....

The Houston Texans didn’t trade back into the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Was that the right decision?

The 2024 NFL Draft started last night, but the Houston Texans did not welcome any new players to the squad.

The Texans traded out of the first round earlier this month with the Minnesota Vikings, so the team has two second-round picks instead.

There were whispers and rumors surrounding the Texans possibly trading back into the first round from The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, but a trade never materialized.

However, fans aren’t too perturbed about not trading back into the first...
