    I wouldn't touch Marcus Peters with a 10-foot pole.

    Is he better than Tavierre Thomas? Can he play nickel?

    Just seems that’s who was beat over and over

    With Stroud being on his rookie deal I think we are going to pay good money for either Jacobs or Barkley…I know you shouldn’t pay big money to a RB but we can technically afford too with Stroud being on his rookie deal.

    We have to run the ball better

    He's a head case. It goes all the way back to his college days. Texans don't need that right now.

    Thomas is a good player, he just had 2-3 bogus calls against him last game.

    I agree that the Oline just needs health. I think re-signing Josh Jones to be the swing tackle behind Tunsil and Howard is the only free agency move needed other than getting these guys on the field. I might add a prospect from the draft to the IOL but I am really hoping Green spent this season working on living up to his draft pedigree. Schultz and Brown I would bring back on reasonable deals. I am looking at the draft to acquire a WR, RB and, maybe, a TE.

    Wishlist for the Offense: bring back Schultz, Brown and Jones

    On defense Id push to bring back Greenard, Rankins and Cashman up front. In the secondary I would want Nelson and Griffin back on team friendly deals. A few outside free agents that interest me are Patrick Queen, Justin Madubuike (if Rankins walks), and Jaylon Johnson.

    Wishlist for the Defense: bring back Greenard, Rankins and Cashman and sign Jaylon Johnson and Patrick Queen.

    ***My draft plan would be either AD Mitchell or Brian Thomas Jr in the first, TreVeyon Henderson in the 2nd and then both TVondre Sweat and Byron Murphy (by trading up) in the third***

    Totally forgot about Azeez Al-Shaair. He only signed for one year in Tennessee. Demeco can throw a “I-told-you-so” and he can replace Denzel Perryman.

    If not Patrick Queen

    I almost feel like Mike Evans is a lock. Comes back home and plays with the second best QB he's ever played with before. Hed be unlocked like Randy Moss was on the Pats. It makes too much sense to me but maybe he wants to be a Buccaneer forever

    We need a WR and Evans would be nice but we need to solidify the OL and get CJ a RB. This draft is deep at WR so that might be better than giving Evans all that money

    Offensive line and defensive line should be the top priority.

    Secondary, linebackers, and running backs should be in consideration.

    Wide Receiver I would argue isn't a must need, but I would love Mike Evans.

    The draft can be used on BPA, a player unexpectedly falling, and/or the Texans just love a specific player.

    I wouldn't be mad at adding Saquon this off-season. He's got some wear but I can't help but seeing fit into our offense the same way McCaffrey fit into the 49ers

    I think this is top priority if we want to have a really good running game, and to give Stroud more protection and time in the pocket. Our rushing game is piss poor, and the Offensive line isn't good enough.

    There is big money already invested in the Oline at both tackles and RG. Center is covered by Juice and Patterson. So really you’re just talking about upgrading LG if you think Green is a bust. I agree they’ll need to sign another swing tackle since Fant is likely going to sign for big money elsewhere. I’d rather sign a vet swing tackle and draft a LG to compete with Green and see what you have there before spending more money.

    Big FA money should be invested in the defensive front 7 not on offense.

    I'm just sick of our horrid rushing game. Most people blame the offensive line. If it's not the starters then we need better depth for injury riddled starters. Why do people think we need a WR more than better backup offensive linemen or better running backs? We're setting passing records, yet can't do squat running the ball.
