    I thought he was a total bust. It's wonderful to be wrong sometimes!

    26' starting OL as of today:

    LT Ersery
    LG Howard
    C Patterson/Andrews
    RG Ingram (if re-signed)
    RT Fisher & Brown (if re-signed)

    We DESPERATELY need an upgrade at center.

    I would say LG too and I'm still not sold on Fisher.

    Houston's worst grades from yesterday's game against the Chargers include our center position. Screenshot_20251228_164150_Chrome.jpg

    If Blake is on this team next year I will be upset, he is a bust and is only on this team because we have no alternative

    Idk I thought he played really well Saturday. I’m not cutting a second rounder still on his rookie deal with two years left.

    No reason to cut him, but I sure wouldn’t be pencilling him in as our starting RT. Unless Love is available with our pick. OL is a must in the first round this year. Best available regardless of T, G, or C. If Love is available, then we should try and trade up if necessary or use both second round picks on OL. Going the FA route at tackle this past year really bit us in the ass. The guys that did work out are FA’s again. I wouldn’t usually want a RB in either the first or second round and it seems we have 2 pretty good ones already, but I think Love is a game changer. After the 2nd round, go best available regardless of position. We have plenty of depth issues to address and the draft is the best place to do it.

    I'll argue for the same approach as I did last offseason (which the team rudely ignored): build the line through free agency. They need experienced guys that can step in day 1 and be ready to play. No more rookies on the OL.

    If they can do that, then you focus on RB, TE, DT and secondary depth.

    I'm for going BPA in the 1st and Kayden McDonald will most liky be BPA. Austin Siervels and Caleb Tiernan are both talented OL that should be there in the 2nd/top of the 3rd. Give me these 2 guys and Dillon Thineman out of this draft and I'll be very happy. Sign a RB in FA and draft another later (I'm really liking Leveon Moss in the 4-5th and lets roll.

    I’m starting to think we need a better Oline coach.

    Three picks in the first two rounds I’d love a Guard, LB and DT. Doesn’t matter the order.

    Would absolutely love a game changing back like Love but I don’t think Caserio values the position that high in the draft.
