    teams were moving up in the first round for 4th rounders alone...did we really give up 2 picks to move up in the 3rd rounder?...is this team really this stupid?

    If by some miracle he stays healthy, the Texans D line has the potential to be the best in the league.

    If it truly is an open competition at the QB spot, and the Texans don't select a start right now kind of BQ in the draft, I believe Case will start.

    You don't understand trades apparently.

    Teams were giving up a 1st and a 4th to move from early 2nd round to late 1st round. We gave up a 5th and a 4th to move from early 4th to mid 3rd.

    Equivalent trades.

    I can't agree with that. O'Brien chose Fitzpatrick. O'Brien has Fitzpatrick ties. He inherited TJ and Case. Fitzpatrick is admittedly better than both of them and has the luxury of being the chosen one. It's his job to lose.

    We gave up a 5th rounder to move up 18 spots and pick up a projected 2nd rounder. Geez people have some faith.

    Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 4m
    Browns WR Nate Burleson fractured his arm in an accidental hit at OTAs. Unlike last year, no pizza involved this time.


    Johnny Manziel is going to have to catch his own passes at this rate.

    FYI, you can't trade compensatory picks.

    At this point, since we're basically taking a project QB now, I'd like to take Murray over Savage or Mettenberger.

    Like this draft so far. If we can land Mettenberger or Murray in the fourth, maybe McKinnon in the sixth, and BPA after that, I'll be pumped.

    I can get behind Savage in the 4th.

    Actually, McCarron or Thomas too.

    Hell, maybe even Murray.

    Jesus, just draft a QB already.

    Well if they do run with Fitz or Keenum, they'll have a legit O line and tons of weapons along with an absolutely dominant D to help them.
