Not disregarding, just saying that O'Brien consistently leaves glaring holes on offense. I'm not sure if he has a plan to fix the holes or just doesn't see the holes. I would RB1. Miller just isn't that good anymore. FA is pretty much over
I think they feel like Foreman is good enough to be RB1, so really we're looking at RB2.5 (platooned with Miller). I think that's someone that can be picked up in the later rounds of the draft. Our 3rd round picks can be used to address OL and TE. Also, there's still a whole other round of FA signings once players start getting cut during Training Camp. I'm sure they're saving some funds for that in case someone of value gets cut.
thats the way i feel- they should have signed a TE, RB, and another slot WR (I think he just doesn't see the glaring holes) why not give Deshaun Watson as much of offensive power/threats needed.
Scarlett is the projected starter at OLB. Texans have Lamar Miller and Foreman. Dont really need a starting HB. Could they upgrade behind those two? Sure. Ervin may still improve. JJo and Kareem and K. Johnson are nice options among reserves but Id pair a 3rd pick over any of them in 2018.
I wouldn't count on Foreman with the injury he got, and it seems to me Miller got worse last year. Only 3.7 ypc. Could have been the bad ol.
Well, yeah. How would signing a draft bust like RG3 be better? The Texans would still be screwed if they actually had to use their backup and he doesn't have the existing relationship with the starter and wouldn't know the system and wouldn't be able to work with the starter to improve his game. There's a reason why guys like Weeden end up staying in the league a long time as backups, and it has nothing at all to do with what they can do on the field.
texans need to sign another safety or CB (Also find you a veteran WR, RB and TE) Give Deshaun Watson more weapons..
http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/cfb/79012/271/nfl-draft-needs-texans?sf186215919=1 Texans Team Need No. 1: Offensive Line Silva’s Analysis: Last year’s Texans recorded the lowest cumulative pass-blocking grade since Pro Football Focus began game charting in 2006. Houston threw free agent darts at OT Seantrel Henderson and OGs Zach Fulton and Senio Kelemete, but neither were reliable starters on their previous teams. The Texans should have enough workable bodies to form a competent interior line, but both tackle spots could afford to be addressed. Texans Team Need No. 2: Tight End Silva’s Analysis: C.J. Fiedorowicz’s concussion-caused retirement left career backup Ryan Griffin and undersized Stephen Anderson as the Texans’ top-two tight ends. Texans Team Need No. 3: Pass Rusher Silva’s Analysis: Deshaun Watson’s promising performance across six rookie-year starts has energized the franchise, but the roster is still brimming with needs. At running back, more talent is needed to push disappointing Lamar Miller and rehabbing D’Onta Foreman (Achilles’). Brandon Weeden is not a serviceable backup for Watson, who has torn his ACL twice since 2014. The Texans need also more help up front on defense, where they are thin on the line and lack depth behind injury-plagued OLBs Whitney Mercilus and Jadeveon Clowney. Norris’ Mock Draft Round 3 (68): T Tyrell Crosby, Oregon - Finding a starting left tackle in the third round is not easy. I’m not sure if Crosby will be available, but if he is the Texans should pounce. Crosby is athletic in his pass set to mirror opponents and strong enough to move defensive linemen off the ball in the running game. It might not always look pretty, but Crosby gets the job done more often than not. Round 3 (80): T Joe Noteboom, TCU - Back to back tackles? It might not happen this way, but it makes sense in terms of need. The Texans must invest in their offensive line to protect a quarterback coming off injury. Noteboom is an athletic right tackle who hit the 3-cone threshold that places him in elite territory. Round 3 (98): TE Ian Thomas, Indiana - Thomas recorded just 25 receptions last season, including 16 in the opening four games. His talent deserved many more opportunities. He is athletic, can play inline or be moved into an H-back role. He is the favorite to be the fourth tight end off the board. It will be interesting to see if teams over-draft tight ends this year after missing out on last year’s historic group. Round 4 (103): EDGE Tyquan Lewis, Ohio State - The Texans seem to prefer large edge rushers, from the top names to the role players. Lewis adds depth to this spot, and as we all know teams can never have enough pass rushers. Round 6 (177): QB Kurt Benkert, Virginia - It’s so difficult to place the third or fourth tier passers. As Evan mentioned, the Texans need one, and luckily they coached Benkert at the Senior Bowl. Round 6 (211): RB Ryan Nall, Oregon State - Nall is an above-average athlete. I’ve even heard some mention of him switching to an H-Back or tight end role. Round 6 (214): WR Darren Carrington, Utah - After transferring from Oregon, Carrington put together his most productive collegiate season. Possible practice squad at this stage of the draft. Round 7 (222): S Trayvon Henderson, Hawaii - Per Tony Pauline, Henderson is visiting the Texans on a visit.
