    Scattershot-arm Logan Thomas was a 4th round pick. The guy is like lightning - never hits the same spot twice, but coaches and their egos thought they were Oscar Goldman and he was Steve Austin.

    I'll take Cardale Jones every day and twice on Sunday over Thomas.

    Hell, Tom freaking Savage was a fourth round pick by this very GM/Coach.

    I'll take neither and be happy I didn't.

    I'm interested in what NFL GM's will do, no what you'd do.

    NFL GM's would draft Vince Young, Russell Wilson, RG3, Ryan Leaf, Matt Leinart, Byron Leftwich, Brady Quinn, J.P. Losman, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Andre Ware, JaMarcus Russell.....all in the first round.

    Trust me, you're better off being interested in what I'd do.

    Russell Wilson wasn't a 1st round draft choice, but he was worth a 1st round pick and has proven it on the field already. The fact that you even include him with the rest of your QBs shows that you really don't know how to evaluate QBs.

    LOL, I didn't mean to put Russell Wilson in there, I'm not super high on him, but he's absolutely not a bust given that he's a pretty awesome game manager and he was drafted in the 3rd round.

    I figure my take is not nearly as valid as an NFL GM's ever since I pegged Juice Williams as an NFL prospect. They didn't.

    I say draft 5 QB and then start a reality tv show called who wants to be a Texans Quarterback. Have them run through a guantlet of drills...the worst 2 performers have to scrimmage against each other. Loser gets cut. Tv Gold

    Honestly everyone backs guys that bust out every now and again. No matter how much you look into players, no matter how awesome you are at player evaluation, everyone misses sometimes. I try to stick to obvious calls like Cardale Jones busting out because if you stick to things that have really good odds of being right, you end up looking smart in the end.

    Meh, Hoyer is worse, but Mallett could be better. Either way we're talking about QB's that are well below average. Certainly not anyone you worry about passing on in the draft.

    Hahaha Russell Wilson is a top 10 qb you clown

    Wilson post passer ratings over a 100, and leads all qbs in rushing yards since he's been in the nfl..

    Wilson has outplayed ANdrew Luck in the 2 out of the 3 years they've been in the nfl...

    Given that you rank players by their race, it doesn't surprise me at all that you think so.

    Mallet sucks bro... The Texans have had elite weapons on the outside for years, but the qbs are trash... look at how cam newton is throwing too... philly brown, ted ginn jr lol... and he still kicked your teams ass

    Derek Carr also looks like he's taking that next step in year 2. Bet OB wishes he can do the first 2 rds over in the 2014 draft.

    Probably just the 2ND round. You still take Clowney first and take either Carr or Garoppolo in the second.

    They could trade for Gaaroppolo if he's still considered legit. Brady ain't stopping any time soon, and Jimmy G's trade value won't get much higher.
