2019 Draft Thread

The thing is the Texans are looking past all the bonafide skill. They want to “develop” players while they’ve shown little to no ability to do it. Way too much talent left on the boards for reaches and project players. That TE pick was unacceptable

 

Who would you all say the Texans have "developed" since they arrived in Houston? I'm sure there must have been somebody, but I'm drawing a blank, trying to think of guys the Texans coaching staff developed from raw talent into good NFL players.

I agree with @coachbadlee. I'm also tired of the word, "versatile," for linemen. Find the position the guy is supposed to play, and leave him there, for crying out loud.

I'll reiterate what I wrote in the Tytus Howard thread: the Texans are supposedly in a win-now two year window before they must pay Watson. They also had one of the worst offensive lines in football last year. Both things counsel against drafting projects with a team's early draft picks, when capable immediate starters with less upside were also available. IMHO.

 

What time does Day 3 start?

 

Not for a team that needed players to plug in right away. Dillard and Ford are more ready now than Howard. Ya-Sin and Baker are more ready than Lonnie. Damien Harris is more ready now than Warring. The Texans drafted like they were defending champs.

 

AFC South Division Champs Bryan!

 

4PM Greenwich Mean Time

 

AJ Bouye. Duane Brown. Derek Newton. Whitney. Hal. Arian? Kareem? Blackson? Griffin?

But agreed on missing on immediate starters.

 

What the previous coaching staffs did isn't really relevant.

I can think of Hal, Scarlett, Bouye under O'Brien. Trying very hard to think of an offensive player.

 

Bouye is obvious in retrospect. Kicking myself for not thinking of him. Brandon Brooks maybe?

 

You need to watch tape on Kahale Warring, he’s an upgrade at tight end and he happens to have ridiculous upside. But he will be fighting for playing time in training camp and his presence on this team will make two other tight ends on the roster dispensable

 

No disagreement here. I'm not even tripping about using a 3rd pick for him. The problem is they need more bodies at CB, RB, S, and DT. You could argue G too before TE.

 

Based on what?

I agree there is a need at safety that must be addressed immediately but there are four rounds and a lot of talent on the board along with undrafted guys to get another corner, back and lineman

 

Potential!
Upside!
Versatility!

 

I think there’s an overreaction to the whole ‘development’ thing. 98% of players drafted need some level of development for the next level. Few players are ‘plug and play’ players, which is why they’re drafted in the first part of the first round. We’ve got more bodies on the oline and while Tytus was a slight reach I like our other picks.

 

Snell would be cool, I also wouldnt mind Hunter Renfrow as Coutee insurance and Watson LOVED him. Other than that, S,CB,IDL

 

A dream for me to end the draft would be Isaiah Johnson, Snell & Renfrow

 

Damn butler and that Florida safety gone

 

There goes love and hill

 

I really like Jordan Thomas so I don’t understand why they would draft another te this early.

Third round is too early to draft a project TE.
