    I'm guessing our first pick goes to the OL, as it should and that we take a LB in the second round. But trying to predict what Caserio will do is similar to trying to herd cats.

    Depending on how the draft falls I could see Ryans/Caserio picking a OL/DT/if Love falls a RB.

    I could also see Caserio trading out of the 1st rd like he did last year for a 2nd and a 3rd. That would give the Texans a lot of cheap young talent coming out of this draft. Three 2nds, Two 3rds/ Two 4ths. This would mean 6 picks with approximately the 1st 105 picks and another pick around 125. Hit on 5 or 6 players out of this draft and then the Texans would be a SB favorite in 2026 IMHO.

    It's CRITICAL that he hits on OL picks.

    Oregon has several guys on both lines who are very interesting.

    The time between draft picks has been reduced from ten minutes to eight.

    Whit Weeks is dating Lane Kiffin's daughter. I can only wonder if he'll return to play a season for Lane.

    Francis Mauigoa vs Cashius Howell should be fun today

    Cashius Howell, who led D1 in sacks, has 1 assisted tackle so far today.

    He finished with 1 solo tackle and 1 assist.

    Mauigoa is a beast. Not sure why some scouting reports want to move him to OG.

    Washington losing only helps our draft picks

    Absolutely, late2/3/4/5th rounders who can play

    I still have no idea what to think about Jacob Rodriguez and his NFL prospects, other than the guy just constantly makes plays: ala Dat Nguyen (3rd rd) and Zach Thomas (5th rd), etc...

    You mentioned Golday to me a while back and, credit where credit's due, guy can play ball. Trotter is young and could easily go back to school since '26 is stacked at LB.

    I love watching that guy play, and he just looks like a LB...."that's my ball"

    Love to target him in 2nd if he doesn't come off in the late 1st. Reminds me of LBs that KC and PITT take that I always want.
