I see Darnold and Rosen being successful, Lamar being a boom or bust, and Mayfield and Allen busting hard. Also I doubt any of these guys will eventually be better than Deshaun or Wentz
Also Nick Chubb - RB - Georgia Dallas Goedert - TE - South Dakota State Courtland Sutton - WR - SMU Christian Kirk - WR - Texas A&M Austin Corbett - OG - Nevada Ronnie Harrison - S - Alabama Harrison Phillips - DT - Stanford Donte Jackson - CB - LSU
hard to be interested in this draft when we won't be picking until the third. The Texans are a master of squandering assets, which inevitably results in the shitty roster we have today. We spent a high first, a high second, and a middle first to solve a QB position, compare that to the Cardinals spending a mid-first, a mid third, and a mid-fifth to land their QB of the future. We are just lucky that DeShuan has thus far proved the pundits wrong or otherwise this team will be in the basement a long long time. And yes, i do agree somewhat with that other poster who kept insisting about the importance of picking the right player versus owning draft assets. the problem is, our bust rate in the middle rounds is probably one of the highest in the league, so that just compounds the issue of accumulating talents.
I dont think the Texans roster is shitty. I think Watson is the franchise QB and finding that is worth a 1st and 2nd rd pick, I dont believe theres a QB taken in the first round this year that will be a step above Watson. I do think Texans squandered picks with overvalueing guys who fell (for good reason) beyond the 1st rd like Sua Filo for example. Texans offensive line was a trainwreck and yet the Texans almost beat the AFC Champs with an offensive gem. Miller and Foreman are a good tandem in the backfield, Hopkins is a pro bowl WR, theres a lot of talent around him at WR. Adding a starting OT and TE in the draft is a must. Could make a case for upgrading the #3 HB or #2 QB but those are luxury picks and picks for 5th-6th rd. Beyond that I think the depth chart on offense is strong. I like what the Texans did in free agency solidifying the OG and OC positions, adding a top CB and an elite S too a defensive group that gets Watt and Mercilus back healthy too pair around Clowney, Reader, Watkins, McKinney, Cole, Hal, Joseph, etc Texans have to find a starting OT, OLB, TE in the draft. Upgrading the thin DB depth chart would be nice. How id go with the first four picks.
If Williams or Hernandez begin to fall toward the middle of the 2nd round you HAVE to trade up to snag one of them. Williams could slide in immediately at RT and Hernandez could slide in immediately at either guard position.
I agree with you in general, but I'm actually more worried about TE and believe we're looking for a back-up OT that can start in 2019. We have two OT (Davenport and Henderson) that can start, but we need someone to develop behind them for injury protection and if Henderson doesn't resign or is a flop, TEs we have Griffin, Anderson (really N-Back) and a bunch of unknowns. This is the spot I'd love to plug Dalllas Goedert into, but believe he's destined for round 2.
