3. Houston Texans: Travon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

The Houston Texans now have a bounty of picks in each of the next three years to work with after the Deshaun Watson trade.

Thanks to the surprising pick of Davis Mills last year, they also have an intriguing QB to give a legitimate shot in 2022.

Travon Walker would be a nice haul for Houston in round one but he’s more likely going in the top two picks.

Derek Stingley Jr.’s name has really been picking up steam here.

4. New York Jets: Sauce Gardner, CB, Cincinnati

There is no shortage of Jets fans whose sole desire in this year’s draft is Sauce Gardner.

However, in this spot, the Jets might be more likely to take a pass rusher of their choosing. Some have started throwing the name Jermaine Johnson out there, and we know that Robert Saleh’s defense needs a cornerstone piece like that.

While Gardner would be a tremendous fit, perhaps the Jets will have a shot at him at 10 instead, or maybe they like the combination of Johnson and Trey McDuffie as much or more than they like the combination of, say, Sauce Gardner and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

Gardner’s claim to fame is not allowing a single touchdown in his time at Cincinnati.
