If we get a qb at 2 we are just going to David Carr him. There are so many hole in this roster, fill it out then go find the guy.

Such a wet blanket post…do you sleep with the light on at night?

Robert Woods...

um, he's kind of broken down isn't he?

2023 will be his 11th year in the league

He wasn't brought in to be our #1. He was brought in to be a veteran presence for Metchie, Nico, and whichever WR we draft early this year… and catch a few balls a game out of the slot while he's at it.

Cooks is going to be gone so you need somebody unselfish in that role for a change.

Headline could have been "Texans sign player you have heard of"

The Bears traded way too early and many of their fans are not happy with the relatively weak return for the top pick. If they pick well, they are still better off than had they taken Anderson or Carter at 1. Anderson may be the next Von Miller but his production vs the best teams this year should be a warning sign. 7 total tackles in 3 games vs Texas Ags, Tennessee and LSU. Von Miller had some of his best games vs the toughest opponents.

Next up, the Raiders who will trade pick 7, their second rounder this year plus a 1 and 2 next year for pick 2. Then the Texans start talking about taking tu RB Robinson at 7. Would the Eagles or Tampa give us a first rounder next year to move up to 7 to take him?

These 2 trades would give the Texans 4 first round picks next year when the QB class may be better. Sign JImmy G, draft best available primarily defense and this team could challenge Jax for the division this year. The tank is over. Time to compete with a weak division and easy schedule.

Raiders are happy taking Richardson where they are. He may end up the best of them all. No risk taking the 4th qb in the draft when you have a ton of holes elsewhere. No reason to trade up.

I don't think Richardson makes it past Indy. Levis seems to have settled into the consensus #4 QB.

Any we rumors that involve Bijan in the top 10 aren't going to happen at all. I can't see any team taking a RB in the top 10 for the foreseeable future. I will be irate if the Texans take a RB in the top 15

hard to believe the Bears gave up the #1 pick to fall down to the #9 pick.

should have found a way to at least stay in the top 5.

D.J. Moore is a nice player but he's a short term asset

I'm not happy if I'm a Bears fan. Underwhelming return. Feels like they just wanted to be done with it.

So happy it isn't Indy. Not getting your first choice for QB is bad, but having to then face that QB twice a year for the next decade would have been brutal.

Stroud seems like a better fit with Frank Reich, but who knows? Texans will take either Anderson or Stroud, whichever one is there.

It looks like Carolina is going Stroud, so it'll probably be Young or Anderson

Soooo... Lets assume Stroud is off the board. We are down to Young or Anderson and when our pick is up Indy calls. They are getting very nervous because one QB is off the board and Young is the only top guy left that they really like. Are you willing to drop back to #4 and if so, what does it take considering they are a division rival and there is a chance you lose out on Anderson as well?

This would be trading Bryce young for Anthony Richardson plus a few picks. If the Texans don't take will Anderson the cardinals will. The cardinals are the big winner in this Chicago Carolina trade because they are rewarded will Anderson in all likelihood.

I wouldn't rule out Arizona trading down to someone looking to jump Indy, or Indy moving up one spot to make sure they don't get jumped. Arizona seems like the biggest winners of the Carolina-Chicago trade.

You'd better be damn confident Young is not going to be a star if you let division team swap spots to take him

I'm assuming it's a typo when you included a&m among the best teams.

Good news, there is no difference between 1 and 2

I feel HOU is going to take Young at this point. Team needs a QB and you can't let Indy have him. I'm luke warm on Young because he's small QB. He will break, but you have to take that chance.

He was never a number 1, and never will be. But he's always been #2 to a real number 1 the Texans don't have a true number 1.

Plenty of small QBs have made it. I think the size component is a bit overvalued.

I'm more worried about durability & Young played in the toughest conference in college and has been extremely durable.

We lost to Bama by 1 play at Bama and should have won. Tennessee and LSU beat Bama. So their 3 biggest games were not good performances by Will Anderson. I agree we weren't good many other saturdays but that day we were and Will had no impact in a close game.

When you already have a roster full of #2 receivers, why would you bring in yet another #2? Maybe you draft a true #1.But if you are going with Jimmy G as your qb, a true #1 isn't necessary.

I think Quentin Johnston has the potential to be a true no 1. He's big, athletic, and has good hands. I like JSN but the issue with him is that he's been on teams at Ohio State that have so much WR talent it's hard to know how good each individual is. Last year he was with Wilson and Olave, this year he was with Marvin Harrison Jr who is a likely top 5 pick in next year's draft, and JSN had an injury this year. Personally I think Johnston is the only WR worth taking at 12. If he's gone I say o-line or pass rusher.

I will say I'm not normally one who puts much stock in the combine but I'm really fascinated with Nolan Smith. I liked him before, but a guy that size and athletic could be a problem for years to come.

I agree Johnston has the potential, but he's still coming from an offense with limited routes, aka the Briles offense. WRs have been notoriously a flop coming out of that offense, no matter how big and fast they are. That's why JSN and Addison are getting so much play, getting guys early that know how to run proper routes has become big for NFL offenses lately. It's the Cooper Cupp scenario.

I'm really thinking Nolan Smith at 12 would be nice.

There are so many pass rushers and DL that I think the best value at #12. Nothing against Johnston.

He gets a 2-year, $6.75M deal with $4M guaranteed - @RapSheet

I wonder if this means we won't attempt to resign Adkins or Howard, or if we're looking at Beck being a FB role player....or both

I expect Texans to pursue Arizona DE Zach Allen. New DC Matt Burke was Allen’s D-line coach last season. He’s 26 and got a lot better playing for Burke.

Hopefully McCalin reporting on this doesn't somehow keep him from signing with us

The #Raiders are closing in on a deal with QB Jimmy Garoppolo, sources say. After six seasons and a Super Bowl appearance with the #49ers, Jimmy G is on his way to Vegas, the site of this season’s Super Bowl, to reunite with Josh McDaniels. pic.twitter.com/R4dSLyj5SX

So, I think this cements what most thought, Young or Stroud at #2


Raiders are looking at 3 years at 67.5M for Jimmy G

yes, it's difficult to forget the previous highly touted 1st round TCU WR...Jalen Reagor.

who was notoriously drafted 1 spot ahead of Justin Jefferson in the 2020 draft...whoops
