Will Fuller - Texans 1st round pick, 21st overall

I really like the way Texans and Seahawks maneuvering around in this draft to secure players they cover rather than take chances.

 

Him, Miller, and Miller are gonna kill it next year. We have a new center too. What

 

Seahawks would have another ring if they didn't get cute two years ago and trade back presuming Bitonio would still be there. They learned their lesson a very, very hard way.

 

"Can't use his hands" & "should be obvious to anybody who watched tape"?

We're you smoking crack when you watched tape on this kid as I saw plenty of catches he made with his hands? Can he improve doing this? Yes. To say he "CAN'T" use his hands is just an ignorant comment.

 

I'm un in the air on this. I love his speed obviously but I haven't watched him play that much. Having his hands questioned makes me a little nervous but it doesn't seem like he has absolute stone hands either. I am a Doctson fan though so I hope Texans don't regret passing on him.

 

Clearly he can use his hands but he can't use them well.

He knows it and has admitted it. He lets the ball get into him and body catches because his hands aren't good.

Dude should play the lottery. He was the one that posted a picture of himself in a Texans jersey on instagram a couple moths ago.

Clearly now that he's a professional and will have thousands of hours of practice, his hand will not and cannot improve.

 

Last year the Texans picked a corner, two picks later was another corner who happened to be the defensive rookie of the year. Two picks after the Texans picked Fuller, the Vikings picked Treadwell. Offensive rookie of the year?

 

Treadwell might struggle due to not having a QB, but he's got the talent for it.

 

The Texans drafted JJ Watt, 2 picks later the Lions drafted Nick Fairley (who a ton of people wanted in Houston). How did that work out? Am I playing this silly game right?

 

Some people wanted Patterson over Hopkins also.

 

So is Treadwell going to be Fairly or Peters? Who knows?

 

I was just about to comment on us taking Hopkins, but people wishing we took the higher upside Patterson, who was taken two picks later. That's worked out decently for the Texans, I think.

 

Hopefully we get that third pass rusher that we desperately need.

 

My post was not about wanting Treadwell over Fuller. I don't. Fuller fits with the Texans and Treadwell fits with the Vikings. Their impact on their respective teams, along with Doctson's, will forever be linked.

 

Kevin Johnson could very well have a better career than Marcus Peters for all we know.
