The cowgirls trade out of the 24th pick. I bet we made an attempt to get into that pick.
Yeah getting an extra third and probably settled in on Dejean or Barton. That was a good trade downIrishAg said:
That was a good trade for dallas, would have loved getting in there and grabbing Arnold. Wonder if we'll work with Tampa Bay or Arizona (which would be ironic) to get Cooper DeJean
I think Penix will wind up being the best QB in this draft. Just like I had a feeling about Josh Allen (which wasn't looking too good his first year or two TBH). I think Penix is the most pro-ready QB in this bunchmAgnoliAg said:SamHou said:
$100M guaranteed contract for Cousins just to draft Penix?? Makes zero sense.
Love Penix though. I think he's special. Just a little weird they have a QB locked up for 4 years and now they add another QB for 4 years who by the way is also already 24.

I get the headlines with the Chiefs landing an explosive playmaker from a trade with the Bills, but they clearly aren't that high on Worthy and moved back 5 spots to move from 247--->221, 133--->95, and 200--->141. Think that is great work for a GM. With all of the cuts and cap issues this offseason, they have a chance to fill gaps better across their team with those trades.Ag_07 said:
WTF were Atlanta and Buffalo thinking?
Ag_07 said:
Yeah I get that they need picks and I could even understand their first trade back but that second one only netted them am extra 5th rounder especially when WR is a need of theirs.

There is also some speculation that they are trying to work something for Higgins or Aiyuk. Trading out of the First round entirely gives them more time.Ag_07 said:

The Texans are in such a good spot with the way the draft fell. Went about as well as could be expected.
The Athletic's Round 2/3 Mock has them taking Mike Sainstrill at 42 and Mike Hall at 59. That would an exceptional result. Even if it doesnt work out like that, there are so many good defenders that will be available.
If they decide to make a trade, I could see it being to use some of their excess picks to turn their late third rounder into an early third or a late second.

A rare trade tht worked out for both teams. Minnesota still ended up with McCarthy without trading up and they landed Dallas Turner after moving up from our pick, that's a pretty good deal for them. Also good for us that in the first round there were 23 offensive picks compared to 9 defensive and defense is our biggest opportunity for the draft.canadiaggie said:
Caserio nailed the trade down out of the 1st round. I think he knew the draft was going to fall this way, maybe not as historically offense-skewed as it ended up being, but I think he predicted that a lot of 1st round defensive talent would be there in the 2nd.
Got us a proven WR (granted, maybe a 1 year rental, but still) and has us in great position to address some needs.

Looking at who is available and who the Texans met with for the 2nd round:
- Edgerrin Cooper, Linebacker, Texas A&M (LOC)
- Michael Hall Jr., Defensive Tackle, Ohio State (T30)
- Kool-Aid McKinstry, Cornerback, Alabama (COM)
- Ennis Rakestraw Jr.^, Cornerback, Missouri (COM, T30)
- Mike Sainristil, Cornerback, Michigan (COM)
- Kingsley Suamataia, Offensive Tackle, BYU (T30)
- Payton Wilson, Linebacker, N.C. State (T30)
Could see Hall Jr. / Kool-Aid / Rakestraw Jr. / Sainristil being the targets at 42 and Payton Wilson + whoever out of those already listed left over being the targets at 59
I think we have to trade up to get Dejean. I'd be surprised if he isn't the next or 2nd to next DB off the board.Ryan34 said:Ranger222 said:

I only see 2 DTs on the list that the Texans met with. I think we definitely need one, but still not sure they'll target one as high as many expect. We're not paying Autry $10M/year to be a backup, plus he's too good anyways. I expect to see lineups with him, Anderson, and Hunter a lot. In which case, a space eating NT would make a lot of sense, and those can be had in the 3rd or 4th round. Plus we signed Jax's starting NT in free agency.
Edge Cooper would not surprise me at all. We have a massive hole at 3rd LB, and Azeez isn't strong in coverage. Cooper or another rangy LB could allow Azeez to be more of a 2 down guy.
My money would be on DB first though. We signed several guys on one-year, prove-it deals but none really move the needle. Cooper Dejean would be really enticing to me. He has a lot of flexibility that could open up some interesting options on the backend.
Most of the reasoning I've heard from the Texan podcasts is that Diggs is old and only on a 1 year contract, so if the right person falls into our lap going ahead and getting someone to replace him. Makes sense since this is a really deep draft and there is a good chance to find quality starters in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. I think if it wasn't a deep draft at the position no one would be bringing it up.Texan_Aggie said:
I still don't understand why we have a need for a WR? I think Collins and Dell are your core, and you'll be able to get decent to good vets who want to come play with CJ.
Unless we don't feel good about resigning Collins, I don't think a young WR is a need. At the very least, WR is usually a 2-3 year payoff unless they're a JJ type.
Yeah, I just don't see Caserio waiting for the picks to come to him today. I'm guessing we have a lot of activity,Ryan34 said:
Agreed, I think we'd have to move up for Dejean. I think we'll see the Texans move around a lot though. We have 9 picks, but I doubt we have 9 roster spots. Whether it's for Dejean or in the 3rd-5th rounds, moving around for specific guys makes sense with our roster.
