Picture a scenario where Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux is available for the Houston Texans at No. 3 overall and they pass him up.
According to Daniel Jeremiah from NFL.com, that is the scenario the Texans could find themselves in as he released his first mock draft of the offseason. Jeremiah envisions the Texans taking Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton at No. 3 overall due to the fact it seems like something the New England Patriots would do.
Hamilton feels like the “Patriot pick” for NE South. He’s big, fast, versatile and smart. Those characteristics are highly valued in New England, where Texans GM Nick Caserio spent two decades honing his craft.
