    NGL I'm more hyped about the senior bowl than the superbowl, no disrespect to the Purdies or Swifties. Just want to get the new NFL year started. Senior bowl is this week.

    Texans have plenty of needs, but it seems we all have differing thoughts on which position should be the priority. I still think they need another playmaking reciever and RB. Texans lack true skilled offensive players, especially at RB.

    I really want to see what Caserio and DeMeco thinks we need. Can't wait till FA and draft night.

    Yeah a big issue is during the playoffs, yes, Stroud had no time but we literally had one play maker in Nico downfield, Dalton looked a little out of sorts, Tank was injured.

    Most of these big teams had 3-4 playmakers available that could make something happen, if one was doubled. Plus Kittle and Kelce have been fantastic against zone.

    You are on a roll today. Keep them coming. More laughs from this forum than I've had in a while.

    If Dalton wants to come back on a lesser deal, cool. But I'd like to see the Texans target TE as a position they could significantly upgrade.

    What free agent do you see as an upgrade?
    Obviously Bowers is, but he’s out of reach in the draft

    We need a better blocking and receiving TE - Detroit run game looks so good because their TEs do such a good blocking

    Who though?
    Bowers we would have to trade up for and Schultz is probably the best FA TE, maybe Hunter Henry

    Shultz should be resigned for sure. They will continue to use Jordan more and might look or a development TE in the draft. Free agency will be dominated by defense and maybe OT depth. Slovik will put a much more creative offense in place to make up for the lack of a running game.

    Yeah it sucks cause it has to be someone in the draft … Shultz dropped 2 huge passes in playoffs and pisses me off still

    Demeco hates to blitz. I think we spend big on the DL and add the rest through the draft. Stroud missed two games and played without Shultz, Dell, ad Nico for several games. We are fine on offense except RT.

    We need speed badly… Motor is slow, we need another WR to put pressure on teams if Tank or Nico get hurt/doubled … I would love to use Jordan a lot more and pray Metchie comes around as a elite chain mover with his route running

    Yes we could really use another speedy wide receiver with hands. We just are going to have to fill a lot of needs and I think wr is way down the ladder

    We should also remember that tank only played 6 1/2 games out of 17

    He was special in those games too - as much as I want another WR I'm just as good if they target a RB higher in the draft

    Get Chris Jones and resign Barnett and Cashman. Draft WR/DB/RB/BPA

    Or try and sign Barkley/Swift…

    Agree with this.

    I mean if we could trade a second or third for Pitts, I’d do it in a heartbeat but the Falcons won’t.

    Want to run the ball better

    Sign Swift/Henry in FA, re-sign Schultz, draft Thomas in the 1st rd and Rouse in the 2nd rd.

    Use the rest of the draft FA on the defense. Re-sign Rankins/Cashman/Tart/Barnett/Sanders/Singletary

    Sign Reader who should be cheaper coming off an injury and Uche.

    rd. 3 Payton Wilson
    rd.4 Cole Bishop

    I was not a fan of signing S Barkley to an overpriced FA deal, but after watching the 4 remaining teams this weekend you HAVE to be able to run the ball and its a plus if he is a pass catcher out of the back field to set up screens...............give me Barkley and ONE stud O lineman in FA, draft a WR and then shore up the D with the rest of the draft. Give me a RB late in the draft to develop...............thank goodness the Astros are about to start because this will be a long off season for the Texans
