NFL Mock Drafts: Where are Houston-area kids heading?

Joshua Koch
Apr 07, 2020

This year, there are a few Houston household names that are about to become the next hopeful superstar for an NFL franchise.

The NFL is standing pat with their plan to hold the 2020 NFL Draft on April 23-25. Unfortunately, not from the new home of the Las Vegas Raiders on an immaculate stage set up in front of the MGM Grand.


Instead, it will be done how most of us draft our fantasy football teams – from our homes.

So, which former Houston stars, VYPE cover kids will hear their names called in the first through third rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft? This is an update to Matt Malatesta's Mock Draft weeks ago.

VYPE scoured multiple NFL Mock Drafts to try and get a consistent answer.

CeeDee Lamb (WR), Oklahoma (Foster HS)

The Experts
Sports Illustrated Matt De Lima – No. 11 to Jets
Bleacher Report Alex Ballentine – No. 11 to Jets
NFL.com Draft Analyst Chad Reuter – No. 12 to Raiders
CBSSports.com Ryan Wilson – No. 12 to Raiders
Good Morning Football Host Peter Schrager – No. 13 to 49ers
NFL Network Analytics Expert Cynthia Frelund – No. 13 to 49ers
NFL Media Analyst Charley Casserly – No. 13 to 49ers
CBSSports.com Bryan DeArdo – No. 13 overall to Eagles (via San Francisco)
NFL.com Analyst Maurice Jones-Drew – No. 15 overall to Broncos

VYPE Prediction: CeeDee Lamb is a freak. Just turn on the film of what he did to Texas during the Red River Shootout. He has done this since high school.

Pick: No. 13 to 49ers

Analysis: The consensus among the experts is that Jerry Jeudy is one of the best WRs in this class and a lot have him going to the Raiders. I think Lamb is a better prospect overall and the 49ers are really interesting. Remember, the 49ers played in the Super Bowl a year ago. That is not a bad team to join. Lamb would be one of the top targets for QB Jimmy Garoppolo. Last year, the 49ers top receiver was their tight end George Kittle. The 49ers need a young receiver in the corps and that's Lamb.

Josh Jones (OT), Houston (Fort Bend Bush HS)

The Experts
CBSSports.com Ryan Wilson – No. 14 overall to Buccaneers
CBSSports.com (Bryan DeArdo) – No. 18 overall to Dolphins
NFL Network Analytics Expert Cynthia Frelund – No. 18 overall to Dolphins
Sports Illustrated Matt De Lima – No. 18 overall to Dolphins
Bleacher Report Alex Ballentine – No. 22 overall to Vikings
NFL.com Analyst Maurice Jones-Drew – No. 27 overall to Seahawks
NFL.com Draft Analyst Chad Reuter – No. 27 overall to Seahawks
NFL Media Analyst Charley Casserly – No. 29 overall to Titans

VYPE Pick: No. 18 Dolphins

Analysis: The Dolphins are fully expected to go all-in taking a QB early. Many expect it to be Tua Tagovailoa. Remember the "Tank for Tua" campaign. Well we have arrived to judgement day to see if the Dolphins really do it. If they take him, they will definitely want to protect him. There is going to be an early run on offensive linemen. By the Dolphins' next pick at 18, Houston OT Josh Jones may be the the guy. He had a good showing at the senior bowl throwing people around. The Dolphins could also combo some picks to move up for a different OL but you figure with a rebuild you want to take as much talent in the first round as you can.

Kenneth Murray (LB), Oklahoma (Fort Bend Elkins HS)

The Experts

Good Morning Football Host Peter Schrager – No. 15 overall to Broncos
NFL.com Draft Analyst Chad Reuter – No. 19 overall to Raiders
Bleacher Report Alex Ballentine – No. 21 overall to Jaguars
NFL.com Analyst Maurice Jones-Drew – No. 21 overall to Eagles
CBSSports.com (Bryan DeArdo) – No. 23 overall to Patriots
CBSSports.com Ryan Wilson – No. 24 overall to Saints
NFL Media Analyst Charley Casserly – No. 28 overall to Ravens

VYPE Pick: No. 21 overall to Jacksonville

Analysis: The Jaguars need desperate help in the run defense after giving up the fifth-most yards on the ground in 2019. Overall, the Jaguars ranked 21st in defense. There seems like there could be a lot of movement in the early 20s so Murray could end up anywhere. The Jaguars need help defensively, especially since the AFC South has bolstered up – Phillip Rivers to Indianapolis and, of course DeShaun Watson in Houston.

K'Lavon Chaisson (LB), LSU (North Shore HS)

The Experts

NFL Network Analytics Expert Cynthia Frelund – No. 11 overall to Jets
CBSSports.com Ryan Wilson – No. 16 overall to Falcons
Sports Illustrated Matt De Lima – No. 16 overall to Falcons
Bleacher Report Alex Ballentine – No. 16 overall to Falcons

Good Morning Football Host Peter Schrager – No. 16 overall to Falcons
NFL.com Draft Analyst Cha Reuter – No. 16 overall to Jets
NFL.com Analyst Maurice Jones-Drew – No. 17 overall to Cowboys
NFL Media Analyst Charley Casserly – No. 23 overall to Patriots

CBSSports.com (Bryan DeArdo) – No. 28 overall to Ravens

VYPE Pick: No. 16 to Falcons

Analysis: Here comes the help the Falcons need. K'Lavon Chaisson ended up having the breakout season at LSU that Ed Ogeron thought he would. The former North Shore star ended up with 6.5 sacks, 13.5 tackles for loss, two pass deflections and 60 tackles. All career highs for a single season. Why do the Falcons take him? Well, Atlanta registered only 28 sacks in 2019, which ranked third-worst in the NFL. They also had a second-worst 109 QB pressures and only blitzed 24.5 percent of the time. These numbers have to change for a team that finished 7-9 overall and ranked 23rd in the NFL in points scored against. Chaisson is the help they need.

Jalen Hurts (QB), Oklahoma (Channelview HS) 

The Experts

NFL.com Analyst Maurice Jones-Drew – No. 23 overall to Patriots
CBSSports.com Ryan Wilson – (Third Round) – No. 88 overall to Saints
NFL.com Draft Analyst Chad Reuter – (Third Round) – No. 102 overall to Steelers

VYPE: No. 88 to Saints

Analysis: Jalen Hurts is not going to be the hottest name at the NFL Draft. The former Alabama and Oklahoma QB showed he can play at the highest level. There's no doubt about that. But this is about fit. From the three mock drafts we found Hurts mentioned, the teams are not a surprise. The Patriots have no quarterback and will be drafting a few in this draft. The Saints and Steelers both have aging quarterbacks. I think the Saints is the best fit for Hurts for two reasons – Sean Payton and Drew Brees. First to be coached by Payton would be a big learning experience for Hurts and to learn from a future Hall of Famer in Brees, who has said he will come back for another year, would be a perfect mix. Teddy Bridgewater is off to Carolina and he would be behind Taysom Hill.

Ross Blacklock (DT), TCU (Fort Bend Elkins HS) 

The Experts

NFL Network Analytics Expert Cynthia Frelund – No. 27 overall to Seahawks
NFL.com Draft Analyst Chad Reuter – No. 29 overall to Titans

NFL.com Analyst Maurice Jones-Drew – No. 31 overall to 49ers
Good Morning Football Host Peter Schrager – No. 32 overall to Chiefs
CBSSports.com Ryan Wilson – (Second Round) – No. 62 overall to Packers

VYPE Pick: No. 28 to Ravens

Analysis: Pretty much from pick 27 to 32 are teams that are going to address the defensive line. The Ravens are in need of help on the DL. The loss of VYPE Hall of Famer Michael Brockers, who headed back to the Rams, and the trade of Chris Wormley, the Ravens are in need of help. Blacklock could be the best fit at No. 28.

FIRST-ROUND SHOCKERS: Greater Houston rocked by playoff results

Matt Malatesta
14 Nov, 2026

The Memorial Mustangs remain undefeated after big win over Manvel

Doug Brown
Well, we didn't see that coming?
It was a wild night in Greater Houston as the first-round of the playoffs literally left us speechless.
Social Media was buzzing as the results poured in from around the city. None bigger than these shocking storylines.
...
Randle’s run is over as Landen Williams-Callis’s high school historic career wraps up. A&M Consolidated beat the Lions 28-24 in 5A DI. The Texas commit and reigning state Player of the Year goes out in round one - a year after the state final last year and a state championship the year before. What a tremendous run and career for one of the best running backs in the State... ever.
...
Cy Ranch gets shocked. Hutto 59, Cy Ranch 14. A 9-1 Mustangs team with Houston commit Braden Baker and SMU commit Amari Vickerson is done in the first round. Katy (now 11-0 after 59-6 over Travis) is the likely area-round opponent for Hutto.
...
The Headliner: Both Summer Creek and Dickinson had tough schedules this season and took some bumps and bruises. This was the best match-up going into the first round. The Beltway Boys of Summer Creek won 48-41 to advance on the road.
...
The undefeateds stayed that way. Ridge Point 42-0 over Taylor (Bartee, Rangel), Katy 59-6, North Shore 62-14 over Deer Park. Shadow Creek (48-10 over Heights) and C.E. King (77-14 over Clear Springs) are on a collision course in 6A DII: King–Shadow Creek is the bracket’s next-round pairing, which means Khylan Davis vs. Tavis Coleman.
...
Memorial 34, Manvel 28 sends the Mustangs’ 11-game win streak into the area round behind Conrad Bennett, and ends the season for LSU commit “Greedy” James. Memorial draws Atascocita, who edged Barbers Hill 23-20.\
...
Close calls everywhere: Bridgeland 30-28 over Vandegrift (Kash Schwab), Cy Lakes 40-38 over Klein Collins, Summer Creek 48-41 over Dickinson, Waller 44-41 over Cedar Park (Glowin Mbobile), Huntsville 42-39 over Nederland, College Station 24-21 over Friendswood, Angleton 17-10 over Georgetown. Montgomery (10-0) needed 62 points to beat 3-7 Dayton 62-55.
...
Texas City 14, Lake Creek 9 is the quiet upset of the night in 5A DII.
Westfield’s defense (Davon Smith, Jordin Jones) held Willis to 6 in the Mustangs’ first playoff win since 2023. They get Cy Falls (McCarty, Harris Jr.) next in a 6A DII Region II game loaded with TD Club finalists.
Langham Creek 45, Tomball 28 sets up a brutal area-round trip to North Crowley for Jhadyn Nelson’s crew. The Woodlands (55-14 over Nimitz) likely gets Waxahachie; Klein (28-14 over Cy Woods) likely gets Rockwall.
Houston ISD advances two teams: Lamar (42-13 over Dawson) and Yates (45-21 over La Grange) carried the flag for HISD.
