This. We potentially have 5 starters from the first 5 picks. It would be really hard to have Harris not start, that athleticism and production in the SEC is really good. Harris was a steal where we got him.
I think this draft might be the story of people picked just before Texans and just after. Interested to see how hall does as rb and Hamilton as safety. And then ofcourse the gardener vs our guy at db
I can't imagine that either Winfrey or Enigbare wouldn't be a starter and one or both should be available, That would make 6 starters.
Not sure why people are sleeping on Lopez. He played great down the stretch. Wouldn't mind Enigbare, but we need a back.
Wouldn't mind Abram Smith at running back... if he fails they could try him back at linebacker... Seems like someone who can play offense and defense would at least be useful on special teams and emergency backup...
The guy we drafted last year? To be honest, I couldn't tell you anything about how they play or played.
How did the Texans telegraph the pick? Everyone in the world knows the Texans have basically nothing currently at RB. It’s not a secret.
There were multiple reports that came out before the second round started that they wanted Hall specifically.
Highly doubt it was leaked. People projecting. The beauty is there is a lot of holes, Pitre fills an even bigger need and an equal if not better talent
Faalele or Bryant for me. Feel like the RB talent has passed and if you’re already reaching at the position, reach later
https://theathletic.com/3281678/2022/04/30/2022-nfl-draft-grades-round-2-3/ 37. Houston Texans: Jalen Pitre, S, Baylor Pitre (5-foot-11, 198) is another fun safety prospect from this year’s class. He started 32 games at Baylor and filled up the stat sheet last year — 76 tackles (18 for loss), three sacks, three forced fumbles, nine passes defended and two interceptions. Pitre committed zero penalties in 431 coverage snaps. Per SIS, he lined up in the slot or in the box on 96% of his snaps. Pitre is a hybrid defensive back who plays with a feisty personality. I like this move for Houston. Grade: B+ 44. Houston Texans: John Metchie III, WR, Alabama The Texans moved up 24 spots here, giving up picks 68 (third round), 108 (fourth round) and 124 (fourth round) in return. Metchie (5-foot-11, 187) was highly productive last year — 96 catches for 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns — before suffering a torn ACL in December. He doesn’t have eye-popping measurables and probably won’t contribute right away, given the injury, but Metchie is an excellent route-runner who plays with toughness and energy. He should be able to line up outside or in the slot. Metchie is a fine prospect, but I’m not sure he has the ceiling to warrant an aggressive move up by the Texans, especially considering all the holes on their roster. Grade: C 75. Houston Texans: Christian Harris, LB, Alabama Harris (6-foot-1, 226) is undersized, but he started 40 games in three seasons for Nick Saban, which seems hard to do unless you have outstanding intangibles. Last year, Harris had 79 tackes (12.5 for loss), 5.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. He ran 4.44 and tested out as a top-five athlete among linebackers in this year’s class. Harris can blitz, spy mobile QBs and cover. Brugler had Harris as his 46th-ranked prospect. I really like this pick. Grade: A-
