Game of Thrones is the latest rage, and the series concludes with a finale Sunday night on HBO.
If there were a Game of Thrones draft where NFL teams had to take characters from the hit TV series, who would the Houston Texans select?
Nate Davis from USA TODAY ran through the scenario using the pick order from the 2019 NFL Draft. The Texans would get a little scaly with their selection.
23. Texans — Drogon: Daenerys’ favored offspring, this beast is truly death from above. He’s proven far more formidable than even his supremely talented brothers — basically the dragon version of J.J. Watt.
Where exactly would be the best spot to use Drogon? On offense, he would no doubt have a high catch point for quarterback Deshaun Watson to throw to. However, Drogon would have to watch out and not to crash into the ceiling at NRG Stadium.
On defense, Drogon would produce sacks galore as no offensive lineman could take him. By the same token, maybe Drogon could provide the protection for Watson he’s not yet had in the NFL.
