    If he has surgery he's probably going to be out for 4 months, so basically season ending. Ordinarily you'd say bring in a body but if they're planning on doing nothing this season then they might as well not bother.

    A bit ridiculous to compare his first game to Cam's. Smith, LaFell, Olsen and Shockey probably get more seperation against the Atlanta D if they suited up this past Sunday, nevermind what they were doing back in 2011.

    Have to echo what others have said. It's a team coming off a 7-10 record which could've easily been 9-8 with how close the losses were at the falcons and giants. Granted rookie QBs struggle but not many come into a team with a solid foundation. This team should absolutely be in with a shot at making the play-offs.

    I don't understand the logic in criticising a great pass into a tight window because it may have lead to a DB making a tackle after the catch. Isn't that football? It feels like a running theme in the last few years reading people complain about passes because a big hit lands on the catcher directly after. It's a contact sport.

    I'd say 1. Thielen, 2. Chark, 3. Mingo/Marshall, 4. Mingo/Marshall, 5. Shenault Mingo and Marshall likely fight it out for that 3rd spot in camp.

    Seen some scout reports that say he could be used as a nickel, so they might have picked him with that in mind.
  7. Billy Goat
    Think the pick will be Darius Rush. If he's gone then Henry To'oTo'o.
  8. Billy Goat
    There's still some good FA rushers available so I'd have taken the WR with big upside as well if it was a choice between the two. Need to sign someone in FA now though. We have the cap to do it.
  9. Billy Goat
    Makes it more likely they'll sign a vet rusher in FA if anything.

    Hope we don't trade back. If we're going to do any moving around I'd try and package our 3rd with one of the 4th round picks and a 5th to move higher up in the 3rd.
  11. Billy Goat
    I'd keep drafting for the offensive side of the ball. We have the cap to sign an edge rusher and there's still some decent options out there who'd probably have more of an impact than any second rounder will in their rookie year. I'd take a TE or guard with the next pick. Very tempting to be able to get the top guard in the draft (if he's still there).

    I'm not saying he's a dud, I'm saying the data points to him being a dud. If they've carried out 100s of tests and all the low scoring players haven't been a success then everything I said is true, he'll either be an outlier or a failure like the rest of the low scoring players. Nothing controversial about that.
  13. Billy Goat
    Well that seems wrong. It's not an IQ test and everyone who has scored low hasn't succeeded in the NFL. If Stroud really got a low score (which seems accurate at this point given his answer) then he'll be an outlier. The data they've collected thus far points to Stroud being a dud.

    Reddit managed to screw over Wall Street with the GameStop shorting. These odds moving is small potatoes in comparison. Really nothing to see here.

    The person who started this rumour has probably cashed out and is laughing counting his money.
  16. Billy Goat
    I thought we'd try and trade down from 39 as well but after hearing Fitterer say the sweet spot of the draft is between 20 and 45 I'm not so sure anymore. I suppose it depends on how the board looks and how many of their 20-45 prospects are left.
  17. Billy Goat
    Scheme is a big part. If I remember correctly PJ Walker had the quickest release time of all QBs during his run of starts last year. Is that because he's a great QB with poise and calmness in the pocket or because they set it up for him to get the ball out quickly?
  18. Billy Goat
    Yeah it's not like it's a left field pick. We're picking the general consensus best prospect and QB in the draft. I think it would be more worrying if they decided to go in another direction out of fear of the unknown and settled for potentially good (Stroud) instead of potentially great (Young).
  19. Billy Goat
    I suppose they've got client confidentiality to adhere to so can't say much apart from generic statements like "every did well".
  20. Billy Goat
    That seems like nonsense considering the owner/creator of the test said they all scored well this year. Not to mention you'd probably have to be close to brain-dead to only get 18%.
  21. Billy Goat
    If I was the Texans and had all those picks this year and next I'd be looking to trade out of two for another 1st next year. Fill out the roster this year and draft a QB next year. They'll probably suck enough this year for another top 10 pick in 2024 and they will have 3 first rounders. More than enough ammo to move around and get a QB next year.
  22. Billy Goat
    A trade is never happening with those picks on offer in that scenario. I don't think they see Stroud and Young as equals so the incentive to trade down would have to be something too good to refuse, like an extra 2nd/3rd rounder this year and a 1st next year. The Texans won't do that.
  23. Billy Goat
    In the early mocks Levis was 2nd QB off the board in a number of them. A few had Stroud dropping to us at 9. A good combine coupled with us hiring Reich and moving up to 1 (along with the Reich prototype theory) propelled him to first pick status. Maybe it's just a case of the hype falling away.
  24. Billy Goat
    A team open to trading down from 2 aren't going to be trading up to 1. The only way Young ends up in Houston is if we pass on him, which at this point seems very unlikely.
