Lmao, shut up b****. You exposed yourself you little racist turd. Don’t claim Houston, you ain’t Houston. Leave my city little boy
Except for the fact that the REASON they don't have many hole to fill is because their gm has made very good decisions beforehand and he doesn't spend draft picks like a drunken sailor! Once might be luck, even twice. 3 times is a trend but 4 or more is just a good gm! They have SEVERAL YEARS of good trades/drafts/FA signings to establish that track record!
Texans have a gaping hole at C. Not sure who will still be there at 65 or 73 but Joe Tippmann John Michael Schmitz Stroud’s center at Ohio State Luke Wypler Ricky Stromberg Spoiler 4. LUKE WYPLER | Ohio State 6025 | 303 lbs. | 3JR Montvale, N.J. (St. Joseph Regional) 5/3/2001 (age 21.98) BACKGROUND: Luke Wypler (WHIP-ler), who has four half-siblings, was born and raised in New Jersey and grew up playing multiple sports, including baseball, lacrosse and hockey. However, he started to lean toward football as his go-to sport in middle school. After growing up in central New Jersey with his mom, Wypler moved in with his dad in eastern New Jersey when he was 14 so he could enroll at St. Joseph Regional School, a college preparatory school and one of the top football programs in the state. Wypler earned the starting left tackle job as a sophomore and took home first team All-League and second team All-County honors. As a junior left tackle, he led St. Joseph to a 10-win season and the 2018 state championship. After a wrestling injury in the offseason, Wypler moved from left tackle to right tackle for his senior season and was named first team All-State and a 2019 U.S. Army All-American. He also earned letters in lacrosse and wrestling in high school. A four-star recruit, Wypler was the No. 2 center in the 2020 recruiting class and the No. 2 recruit in New Jersey. He started to receive FBS offers following his sophomore season, picking up scholarships from Rutgers, Florida, Stanford, Notre Dame, Michigan and Ohio State over a one-month span. With two-dozen offers, Wypler took numerous visits before settling on Ohio State and stayed committed after Urban Meyer’s retirement. He was the second-highest ranked offensive lineman in the Buckeyes’ 2020 recruiting class, behind only Paris Johnson Jr. His father (Al) played linebacker at East Stroudsburg State. After Luke enrolled at Ohio State, Al bought a house in west Columbus that he shares with his son. Luke’s mom (Michele Desimone) is a nurse. His parents are divorced. Wypler elected to skip his final two seasons of eligibility and enter the 2023 NFL Draft. STRENGTHS: Athletic mover with the first step and joint flexibility to get underneath defenders ... executes well laterally to reach or pull ... highly efficient on combos and climbs to pass off defensive tackles before reaching the second level ... displays patient weight distribution and strong hands to redirect/mirror in his pass sets ... his hands stay accessible for quick resets if he gets swiped ... adjusts well with gap exchanges and his peripheral vision is an asset ... made major strides with his snap/delay penalties between his sophomore and junior seasons ... coachable, high-intangible player with the mental capacity for the NFL game (also adds plenty of dry humor) ... durable player who started all 26 games the past two seasons. WEAKNESSES: Short arms and can be flattened out if he doesn’t initiate first contact ... struggles to regain leverage against power or long-arm moves ... shaky anchor and it will be tougher for him to “lose slowly” versus NFL bull rush ... can do a better job rolling his hips to add explosion at contact ... doesn’t consistently drive defenders in the run ... quick to climb, but inconsistent breakdown in space to lock down linebackers ... questionable position flexibility with 100 percent of his snaps coming at center in college. SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Ohio State, Wypler was entrenched at center in head coach Ryan Day’s zone/RPO-based offense. A high school offensive tackle, he made the move inside, where he was the starting center for all 25 of C.J. Stroud’s college starts. (Stroud: “Luke is probably one of the smartest people I have ever been around ... the smartest O-lineman I’ve ever met in my life.”) Wypler is a quick, efficient mover with outstanding football IQ and communication skills. However, he labors to sustain if not perfectly square, especially with defenders on his edge, and can be stacked when he isn’t in position to break contact. Overall, Wypler is sawed-off and will be force-fed his vegetables as he adapts to NFL power, but his above-average athleticism and handwork help him stay in position. He is ideally suited for a zone team and projects as an NFL backup with potential to be more. GRADE: 4th-5th Round
That was a fun 1st round. Caserio is absolutely gonna trade up again at some point in the 2nd round. WR or C will be the likely target IMO. Keep building. Also Will Levis: not a 1st round pick. As it should be.
Center should be the priority, then prob TE, CB, then WR. The WR class was already thin but largely drained today other than one solid possession guy (Hutchinson) and some projects. If we’re going up tomorrow, I hope it’s for a center so we lock in our line to give Stroud a chance to succeed. I still think Mayer is going to be an underrated stud so if he drops too far, he’s worth it. He’s a more well rounded career TE that’ll likely be around longer than Kincaid.
Yeah but just remember. Not only did WE get him (Stroud) but in the process STOPPED the Tacks from trading up and taking him! (tries to take deep breath and count to 10) At the risk of dating myself what was that Dr. Smith used to say on "Lost in Space"? "Oh the pain, the pain"!
