Aaron whiffed on DeMeco, whiffed on Stroud, whiffed on Anderson https://www.click2houston.com/sport...son-tyree-wilson-and-why-they-may-pass-on-qb/ The Texans have evaluated and considered Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud for months, including hosting him for a visit at NRG Stadium, interviewing him at the NFL scouting combine and scouting his campus Pro Day workout. Stroud excelled for the Buckeyes, but he isn’t the Texans’ first choice at quarterback as he ranked behind Young on their draft board and other NFL teams seeking a quarterback. If the Texans were to draft Stroud, sources emphasized, it would be considered a major surprise at this point and a departure from the direction they’ve been headed in during the latter stages of the draft process. Not drafting Stroud is not expected to have anything to do with him being represented by David Mulugheta, former Texans Pro Bowl quarterback Deshaun Watson’s Austin-based agent. It would simply be a football decision based on Stroud’s ability to process on the fly, read defenses and run the Kyle Shanahan-Gary Kubiak offense being installed by offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. Although the Texans have a strong comfort zone with Anderson, who visited them, the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions, from a football and character standpoint, there are legitimate questions about whether his ceiling is high enough to justify the pick. The two-time consensus All-American and Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year is regarded as more of a pure fit as a stand-up 3-4 outside linebacker rather than a classic 4-3 defensive end who plays with his hand in the dirt. Those factors are why the Texans have contemplated drafting Texas Tech defensive end Tyree Wilson.
The Ticket (radio) guys are saying that he will be expected to clog up the middle and take pressure off the edge rushers. Dallas was afraid that he wouldn't last into the 2nd round so they pulled the trigger.
Well Nick said the compensation was still being discussed while Ari. was on the clock. I'm sure it went down like {cards gm}..."ok Nick hold up that list of draft picks you own!" (Nick complies). {cards gm}..."I'll take THIS one aaaand THIS one aaaand TWO of those!" {Nick} replies..."Yes sir! May I have another!"
I mean this is not an accomplishment. The Texans had the 2 and 3 pick. You better HOPE that they drafted at least two top 5 players on the board.
Eagles defense is like all Georgia Bulldogs now lol. Davis, Dean, Carter and Smith. The rich get richer. That defense is going to be incredible yet again.
Iggles get Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith AND keep ALL of their day 1 and 2 picks going forward. Can I trade #63 and/or #75 and swap gm'......no I'm just going to shut my mouth. NC's got me in a bad mood tonight!
Will Levis to the Rams with the fifth pick in the second round just makes so much sense. Would be a great fit, too. He should be thrilled if that happens.

When you team doesn't really have holes you make luxury picks like that. Has nothing to do with the GM... Nolan Smith just fell into their lap and any idiot would have ran to the podium to turn in the card at that point (Carter is good pick though, gotta give them credit for that).
