April 28, 20187 yr One of the most encouraging things about the pick is that he is the brother of Eric Reid, Kaeperneck’s kneeling buddy. Maybe Gaines isn’t a McNair suckup like our last GM.
April 28, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, texifornia said: Interesting. Rankin's good but not amazing. They must not like any of the OTs. I mean Brown is dropping like a rock, and the guy that molded his body is now doing the same for aggy.
April 28, 20187 yr Like the Reid and Akins picks. He was linked to the team in several mocks that I saw. I have no opinion of the OL, because I don't know much about him. I do know the last smallish OT the Texans took, that was universally panned was a 10 year starter and went to multiple pro bowls. cbs gave the Texans a B for Reid B+ for Rankin B for Akins Edited April 28, 20187 yr by HtownHorn
April 28, 20187 yr Author Love drafting Reid and also think Coutee was a good pickup in the 4th and will definitely help in the slot and kick return game. Don’t have an opinion on the T and TE we drafted but glad we addressed positional needs unlike the idiot GM we had before.

Hope they pickup JT Barrett if they really wanna backup QB. Really they need to pickup Poona at DT and a ILB like Cichy. Then keep drafting OL for the rest of the draft. You can always get a journeyman that can backup Watson.

April 28, 20187 yr Can't believe Cain has fallen this far as well. Some of these WR projects taken before him are head scratchers.
April 28, 20187 yr Author I wasn’t thrilled that we named Brian Gaine as GM. However, I’m really pleased with his first draft so far. I think he got excellent value for all of his picks except for the TE who they could have possibly gotten later. Glad they got a DE in the 6th.

I think he got excellent value for all of his picks except for the TE who they could have possibly gotten later. Glad they got a DE in the 6th. What helped that TE was the coaching staff coached him at one of the all star games, and really liked his work ethic. He's a little older do to baseball, but I agree with you. The DE from Wake Forest had a 3-4 round grade, getting him in the 6th round is very good value. I would love for them to take Hill and Elliott with their compensatory picks to complete the 6th. Never mind about Elliott, Ravens just took him at 190. Edited April 28, 20187 yr by HtownHorn
April 28, 20187 yr 6'6" 280 pound TE. Probably there for blocking. Would love Desmond Harrison here. Edited April 28, 20187 yr by HtownHorn
April 29, 20187 yr I don't know who this guy is, but possibly three UDFA OL so far? That's Jaryd Jones-Smith E: More here: https://www.battleredblog.com/2018/4/28/17282904/2018-nfl-draft-houston-texans-undrafted-free-agent-tracker Edited April 29, 20187 yr by MadBurgerMaker

JT went to the colts UDFA and Flowers went to the Bengals. Did we get any UDFA QB? I guess Weeden will be our number 2 going into camp. We really need to watch and see if someone gets cuts. Weeden is probably a good guy to have in the QB room and i am fine with keeping on the roster this season but i don't think we have address the Back up QB yet. Still plenty of time for players to get cut/released and such. Hope we find something better. No we don't need to sign Kap. He doesn't wanna be a back and like Tebow brings a circus of unwanted media around.

May 1, 20187 yr I can't figure out how to embed Twitter shit, but this was funny from Akins... https://twitter.com/JAkins88/status/990327930193575936
June 9, 20187 yr Heads up: the Bayou Bowl is on channel 13 at 7 pm. It's not Texans but its real live football in June.
June 15, 20187 yr The Houston Texans have signed inside linebacker Benardrick McKinney to a five-year, $50 million contract extension, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday. The deal includes $21 million guaranteed, the source said.
June 20, 20187 yr I'd like to see the Houston franchise regain the moniker of the Oilers..! Quote Bruce Matthews Would Like To See Oilers History Return To Houston As heard on In the LoopMarch 1, 2018 at 1:28 pm Filed Under:Bruce Matthews, Houston Oilers, Houston Texans, Jimbo FIsher Houston Oilers great Bruce Matthews joined In the Loop and they talked about the history of the Oilers returning to Houston, Deshaun Watson, Bill O’Brien, Jimbo Fisher and the Texans offensive line.
August 1, 20187 yr Jordan Matthews was just waived, Texans should pick him up. Edited August 1, 20187 yr by HtownHorn
August 1, 20187 yr 16 minutes ago, HtownHorn said: Jordan Matthews was just waived, Texans should pick him up. Pats let him go because he has a hamstring injury that is said to be major. Good player when healthy, but, who knows
August 1, 20187 yr Maybe a first step in reconciliation would be to let Houston wear the 1960s version of the Oilers uniform as a throwback or color rush.
August 9, 20187 yr Yo. I’m the one that’s gotta bump this. I’m kinda pumped for the pre season game although I’m not gonna lie. I’ll probably switch over to the stros and watch Verlander fuck some shit up.
August 10, 20187 yr I usually don't watch preseason football, but I'm tuned in to see how Deshaun and JJ look.
August 10, 20187 yr No idea why you don't go for it there. It's glorified practice, leave your offense out there.
