Is that from 2012? Because it doesn't talk about his previous year in 2013 where he regressed tremendously. He was projected to be 1st rounder, but no longer viewed as that. Chances are next years QB class can also regress. Wasn't really impressed by Petty or Hundley, but he is raw. Winston has been in trouble a lot and that scares me a lot. Than you have Mariota which i will be ok with.
I would not mind if the reached for murry maybe not at the start of 2nd but trading up at the end of the 2nd or start of the 3rd.
I honestly hope, after a little time away from being disappointed from last night, that our guy is Tajh Boyd. I like him a lot.
Beauty of not taking one of these top rated guys is that there will be no pressure on the coach. It will be an open competition with whoever we bring in.
Rick Smith directly denied any conversation whatsoever about Mallet or any other talks with the Pats.
He went out of his way to deny that which is unusual. Normally he no comments on rumors. He made a point to say that wasn't true and another reporter on the national level (don't remember who) said the Pats claim that Mallet is unavailable anyway. This was just a douchey CSN guy starting a rumor.
Let's just say I disagree that Rick's comments can be read into. We've seen GMs bald face lie before. Nothing new. The Mallet rumors existed long before the CSN dude btw, and even the CSN report had conflicting info in it.
If the Texans draft a QB in the 4th or lower, and that QB actually thrives, he'd be the first since Brady, right? That the overwhelming majority of successful QBs are drafted in the first three rounds?
Success can be had there. However, you cant just label every draft the same. Honestly, Im shocked Jimmy G is still on the board and I would draft him in a heart beat.
AJ Mccaron would be a good pick. I like the fact he steps up in the pocket against pressure and has made some big time throws. But the question is will he be there in the 4th?
So you named 8 successes out of how many later round QBs drafted over that period? Compare that to the success rate of 1st rounders. If you're willing to gamble on a 5% chance that the random QB you pick in the 4th round will be successful, I guess that's an option. 95% of the time, it will fail, and you'll repeat the process in 2-4 years.
