    A a life long Houston sports fan that has generally despised the Texans, I thought they did very well last night.  - Brand new coaching staff gets their no doubt starting QB for the next 4+ years

    So they probably told Lovie before the game, and he goes rogue. Perfect execution there Texans.

So LZ says we traded up into the second round to get a C with a third round grade (5 picks after the better C got snagged)?

Who’s third round grade? The same media experts that said Will Levis was the best QB in the draft? The only grades that matter are the grades a team makes in building it’s board from film, workouts, interviews. All this fretting of draft position really is ridiculous. How are you building your team and if you’re getting a great fit 13 positions higher than Mel kiper thinks really is irrelevant if they can play. Half these picks won’t be on rosters in three years regardless.

^^^

No shit. They took the center with the second to last pick of the 2nd round. Would he have have been a much better value if they had gotten him 2 picks later at the top of the 3rd?

You were touting LZ’s grades. LZ had the Minnesota center rated higher. Caserio could have pulled the trigger and got him, but waited and got the next guy a rung or two lower.

I don’t give a shit where they are picked. I was bitching because he hesitated and got a lower rated player. 

And they trade out twice and don’t take Ringo, Phillips, or the Ohio St. OT

Ringo is going to wind up being a safety in the league. If you want a safety, I can't believe Antonio Johnson is in such a downward spiral. I hope he lasts for the Texans next pick.

Is this your first draft?

Consensus “ratings” are absolutely meaningless after the first like 20 picks.

Caserio is Casserly 2.0, throwing away picks.

Hard to trust anything this organization does.

Grading pics during the draft is kinda dumb. 

 

It's not who (player), but when/where that player is drafted that I find interesting and leaves teams open to criticism during the draft.

But even that... You don't know if it worked for a season, if not 3.

True. That applies to any round, any pick. Today, however, as I sit here farting into my couch cushions, I can only judge picks on where they were selected versus where they should have been picked, and to a lesser extent the needs of the team that drafted him.

You know, Keondre Coburn may be an option @ 174 for Houston. 

I don’t think DL is the way they’ll go. Drafted 2 and brought in Ridgeway, Winovich and Rankins in the offseason. 

That’s a good value pick

Unfortunately, it means we’ll no longer have Mr. Irrelevant

Alabama linebacker is good

How many picks left for Houston?

Are they done?

woops. They just traded 201 for Eagles' 230 and 248. Probably going to take UGA at 201.

Edited by Saint Tacky

Demeco going to love having 3 LBs from Alabama starting. Then add in the WR as well.

2 minutes ago, HtownHorn said:

I see 201, 230, and 248

Es verdad. They just corrected the tweet to 191.

If the Eagles meet the Texans in the Super Bowl it will be an SEC title game

... and, will go somewhere on the wall of champions outside of Kyle Field.

Aggie dig

I wonder if Tanner McKee was who the Eagles were targeting when they made this trade

(Nevermind. I thought that was #191, which the Eagles just traded to the Bucs)

Texans received two 7th-round picks (230 and 248) for pick no. 191 (6th). The Eagles just flipped 191 for a 5th rounder next year.

There goes Coburn to the Chiefs

Hutchison could get a ton of playing one. Hope he shows up 

Edited by tx 3 putt

Both the Penn State and ND guys are centers but have experience at guard as well. Hopefully one steps up in the middle this year, that’s the massive weak spot on the OL. 
 

Will be interesting to see what veterans are available in the next couple of weeks as teams make cap cuts based on the younger/cheaper dudes they just drafted. Will be mostly depth at this point, but we need upgrades there as much as the starting poisitions.

The trade up was expensive for sure, but I fucking love Will Anderson - I think he’s going to be a star. Glad we pushed the Cardinals 4th rounder to a 3rd rounder next year, essentially cancels out that part of the move up…

Brandon Hill Safety Pitt @ 248

Hill redshirted his first year in Pittsburgh (no statistics in four games played) coming off a strong career at Wekiva High School in Florida. He started twice in 10 games played in 2020 (27 tackles, 1.5 for loss, one interception -- returned for a score -- and two forced fumbles) before starting 13 of 14 appearances in 2021, garnering second-team All-ACC honors (81 tackles, two interceptions, six pass breakups). Hill was an honorable mention all-league pick in 2022 (67 tackles, two pass breakups), starting 12 games and then opting out of the team's bowl game to prepare for the draft. -- by Chad Reuter

So, we drafted two interior guys to replace our shitty OC, and we are looking for more interior OL since our 1st round OG from aggy is also shitty and we want to replace him. Great. Seems like we got this shit figured out. This franchise is so fucked with McNair and Caserio.

You realize everyone picked from like 1PM today forward has like a 12% chance of being on the 53-man roster all year, right?

Antonio Johnson  #160 pick to Jags (5th Rd)

With the Texans it is likely higher.

Texas was dominated by a 6th round pick in a Hutchinson. I’m optimistic about the future, but shit like this worries me. 
 

Not mad at the Texans draft. I’m in the B range.

I’m good with it if you build in a redshirt year. Bama starters tend to show up for the NFL needing surgery. I guess those Saban death stares keep players out of the training room.

4.53 is slightly below average, but faster than DHop...
