HOUSTON TEXANS
1.   DeAndre Hopkins  WR Clemson
2. D.J. Swearinger  S South Carolina
3. Brennan Williams                   OT UNC
3. Sam Montgomery  OLB LSU
4. Trevardo Williams                  OLB UCONN
6. David Quessenberry                     OL San Jose State
6. Alan Bonner  WR Jacksonville State
6. Chris Jones  DT Bowling Green
6. Ryan Griffin  TE UCONN

Best Pick: DeAndre Hopkins
Iffy Pick: Sam Montgomery
Could Surprise: David Quessenberry

Summary:  After years of ignoring the position, the Texans finally addressed the #2 WR position in the 1st round of the draft.  They didn't reach to fill this need as Hopkins went about where he should have and is sure to be a day 1 starter.  Swearinger is heir apparent to Ed Reed while Williams potentially starts down the road at RT.  Montgomery could be a total flameout or could played focused like a player with his talent should.

GRADE: B-

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
1. Bjoern Werner  OLB Florida State
3. Hugh Thornton  OG Illinois
4. Khaled Holmes  C USC
5. Montori Hughes  DT Tennessee Martin
6. John Boyett  S Oregon
7. Kerwynn Williams                  RB Utah State
7. Justice Cunningham                   TE South Carolina

Best Pick: Montori Hughes
Iffy   Pick: Bjoern Werner
Could Surprise: Kerwynn Williams

Summary:  Not sure how Werner will fit at OLB in 3-4.  2nd round pick was used in Vontae Davis trade last year.  Middle round picks spent on improving trenches, with some nice upside players there.  Both 7th round picks could make the roster.  May regret passing on chance to find #1 WR for Andrew Luck.

GRADE: C-

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
1. Luke Joeckel  OT Texas A&M
2. John Cyprien  S Florida Intl.
3. Dwayne Gratz  CB UCONN
4. Ace Sanders  WR South Carolina
5. Denard Robinson  WR Michigan
6. Josh Evans  S Florida
7. Jeremy Harris  CB New Mexico State
7. Demetrius McCray                   CB Appalachian State

Best Pick: Luke Joeckel
Iffy Pick: Dwayne Gratz
Could Surprise: Ace Sanders

Summary:  The Jaguars were the worst team in the league with one of the very worst starting QB's.  The bottom line is this team had holes everywhere.  This team lacks an identity and box office appeal.  They played it safe with Joeckel, who will be the LT in 2014.  5 of their remaining 7 picks were spent on DB's.  My biggest concern is they did not add a QB in this draft, especially surprising because Geno Smith was there in round 2 and Barkley was in round 4.  On the surface this seems like a solid draft for a new regime but it could be filled with regret 3 years from now.

GRADE: C

TENNESSEE TITANS
1. Chance Warmack  OG Alabama
2. Justin Hunter  WR Tennessee
3. Blidi Wreh-Wilson                   CB UCONN
3. Zaviar Gooden  OLB Missouri
4. Brian Schwenke  C California
5. Lavar Edwards  DE LSU
6. Khalid Wooten  CB Nevada
7. Daimion Stafford                    S Nebraska

Best Pick: Justin Hunter
Iffy Pick: Zaviar Gooden
Could Surprise: Brian Schwenke

Summary:  First 3 picks were examples of BPA at positions of need.  Gooden, Schwenke, and Edwards will determine just how good this draft can be.  Obviously helping Locker was a top priority, now the pressure is on him.

GRADE: B+
