    1.1: Will Anderson, DE/Edge - Alabama
    1.12: Trade to Tampa Bay for 1.19 and 2.50 (Will Levis)
    1.19: Anthony Richardson, QB - Florida
    2.32: Darnell Washington, TE - UGA
    2.50: John Michael Schmitz, OC - Minnesota
    3.64: Mazi Smith, DT - Michigan
    3.73: Jaylon Jones, CB - TAMU
    4.102: Sean Tucker, RB - Syracuse

    I would be over the moon with a haul like this. Obviously Richardson's development would determine whether this was a good or great class for Casserio but I think each of these players could pay dividends for the Texans.

    I wish this was true but there a lot of ways to scare this draft up.

    Really? I loved what Nick did with the last draft and I wasn't big on Nick as the GM. Our rookies even with some hitting rookie walls have all flashed.

    You cant convince me that Kelce isnt by far more important to that team and Mahomes than Hill. Its insane what an elite TE can do, not only if you use them well, but if you don't have a lot of weapons around them. A good RB or a good WR can get covered up by loading a box or double-teaming. A good TE is bigger than any DB and faster than any LB so its a lot harder to neutralize.

    Problem is, we have drafted eleventy-billion TEs in the past 4 years and we obviously don't know how to use OR develop them...

    Think you gotta switch Washington and Richardson picks. Darnell is going first round, and Richardson is getting reported as falling to 2nd..

    I just meant drafting in general. With the current state of the franchise, I think Caserio is going to take a QB. I also think his tenure here will depend on the success of that particular pick.

    True and sad that he's going to be forced to pick a QB in this poor QB draft.

    If I had to pick a QB I would pick Levis but I wouldn't be happy with the pick.

    Not a fan of Richardson.

    Give me Hooker at 2-32 if we're gambling on QB's.

    Duggan is being slept on, elite athlete with production and 4 year starter. 2nd in Heisman voting

    How would you like this?

    Sign Bradberry/Barton in FA, I like Al-Shaair from the 49ers. Draft the best edge possible at 32 (Verse or the dude from K-State.) Then draft Smith at the top of the 3rd rd.

    I'm assuming the pick is Mayer and that would be a fine pick. Mayer would help bring toughness to the team and be like a 6th OL.

    I wouldn’t call it sad. Caserio handpicked his his guys and needless to say we have the worst QB room in the league. And even if Mills flashed a bit the year before, Caserio didn’t add any WRs and knowingly went into the season with Rex Burkhead as his projected starter at RB.

    I don’t know if Cal will actually force him to take a QB but think Caserio is smart enough to know his best shot at year 4 is showing some type of promise under center next season.

    If Cal doesn't make him pick a QB that will prove that Cal's different from his daddy.

    Not gonna happen, QB will be the pick.

    Duggan is most likely a 2-4 round guy. Unless he tests at combine, he’s capable of low 4.5 high 4.4 40.
    He has upside, untapped potential imo
    But he doesn’t have a big arm.

    Texans should draft Anthony Richardson if they’re not sold on Bryce Young.

    Richardson has the potential to be the next Josh Allen. If he’s a bust, then we’ll just draft Caleb Williams next year.

    Anthony Richardson would be a waste of a pick. The only player that has chance to be Allen is Levis. Anthony Richardson had a ton of physical talent but is years away from being a QB
