Texans fan chiming here. I think that Ryan’s did in fact like both guys and would’ve been fine with whichever guy fell to us. the only thing I think may have been different is perhaps we go ahead and take Will Anderson at 2 and then trade up for Bryce at 3 or maybe 4 instead of how it actually went. As far as what this other Texans fan above is saying, don’t take that crap serious…it’s all speculation. The only thing we know for sure is that the owner’s wife Hannah is more involved on the PR & “rebranding” side of things with the Texans this year due to all the fallout behind all the bad coaching hires and Deshaun Watson; that’s it really. There’s 0 evidence that she had any involvement in the drafting process.
As far as Young, I’ve been reading you guys’ threads on him & CJ all season and the long & short of it is from my standpoint is, I think he’s gonna be fine..It just looks like he wasn’t as pro-ready as draft scouts touted he was. I think the bigger issue for you guys is Reich and the offense he has him running…y’all don’t really have the personnel for it and Young’s development is suffering a little b/c of it.
Wouldn’t read too much into this week’s matchup tho. As good as CJ has been, we can’t run it and our defense kinda comes and goes. We’re still a relatively young team so learning how to consistently win is something we’re still…well, learning lol. You guys most definitely have a shot to notch your 1st win this week especially considering y’all are at home.
