QB or NOT QB.....

So will you be okay if he measures 5’”11”?

 

If we get Anderson and Levis, this team will be good faster than most think

 

I would spend the remaining 2023 draft capitol on O-line and defense. In the 2024 draft I would load up on the sexy skill positions and then fill the remaining holes in the roster via free agency in 2024 when I think the Texans would be competitive. And sustainable.

 

Cunningham? I dont know about that...maybe..but look at him. Does he even weigh 180lb?

 

Anyways...what about spending this upcoming draft to get Anderson (#1 pick) and center, or LT/Center, then get Caleb next year since most likely Texans still have chance at high pick again.

 

And there is a reason why franchises spend YEARS continuously looking for QBs, its not an exact science. Outside of Kyler, every QB drafted in the 1st round have been 6'0"+. They all have good arms, can make all the throws, accuracy, etc... You have Heisman winners, champions, record holders, etc...Yet half of them never see 2nd contract from the team that drafted them. And that rate goes down substantially outside the 1st round.

Yes ideally you'd want a QB built like Andrew Luck. But if you are passing on talent because of a few inches, you are just as likely drafting a Blake Bortles, Trubisky, Haskins, or EJ Manuel.

 

I can see this as well with the Texans still continuing to build up the defense…and then being patient with drafting a QB especially since we have tons of draft capital moving forward if there is a QB the Texans like.

The incoming QB will be set up for more immediate success.

My only concern is being able to afford to keep all the guys we are drafting. If our defense has a core of

Stingley
Pitre
Anderson
Harris

We must keep them all together for a long time

 

I wouldn’t be opposed to this. There’s 3 QBs I would take from that draft so far. Williams, Ewers and Maye.
Maye has most upside of them

 

You don't draft a QB high just to draft a QB, you draft him because you think he's The Guy.

I'd have no issues with them doing something like you mention, it just depends on how the draft board and their evaluations play out. It's way early to really have much of an opinion.

 

Not at all - not singling you out or your preferences. Just noticing a narrative in these conversations across all platforms. Young seems to be given more credit due to "lack of weapons" and some notion that athletically he's more gifted than Stroud. Neither one of them is "dual threat" type guy who routinely make plays with their feet so if pocket passer is who they are I'd just prefer one that can see over the OL and not have to alter release point(s) in the NFL. The typecast of not trusting OSU QBs is also one that I dont put as much stock in as others. I think Stroud is the #1 QB this year, but not locked into him to the point where I couldnt see a path with another prospect.

 

The 3 QBs in the last 40 years......under 6'0'' have had some success in the NFL. THREE.

 

So are you calling your shot on Bryce Young that will be a bust? Or that you want Levis over him?

 

The QB class next year is starting to look much better than this years. Williams has completely grown on me.

 

For my money, give me Anderson and Levis in the 2023 draft along with O line and defensive help and then target TreVeyon Henderson and a wide receiver in 2024. That would form a Levis-Henderson-Marvin Harrison Jr (just one option) trio playing on the cheap for 4 and 5 seasons behind a retooled o line and along side a solid defense. Lot of projection in there but sounds good.

 

As I said before, I know nothing about Levis. Why would I want him? NFL scouts have mentioned his name. I also said, I don't pay attention to college QBs until December.

 

So if by December Bryce Young on verge of winning back to back Heisman trophies then what??
