Post-Draft 53 Man Roster Predictions

Okay my friends, who, out of all the '24 draftees do YOU hope turns into our next pro bowler?
I am confident Lassiter turns into a starter by seasons end and I also think Calen Bullock turns into a fixture in the back end of the defense, but for me, the most valuable player, I hope, is Blake Fisher.
If he can turn into our starting RT, man, that would be golden.

He actually started as a LT at Notre Dame before he was injured and Alt took his spot away. So I would say LT = golden, RT = Silver, but we'd be fortunate either way.
 
I'm interested in the bottom of our WR room. You typically keep 6 right?

Diggs, Collins, and Dell are obviously 100% in. Noah Brown also feels like a roster lock, he's clearly shown he can play. So that leaves a couple of spots open with Woods, Hutch, and Metchie competing for the last 2 spots. Odd man out there really has to be Woods right? I get he's a nice vet presence but he was a nonfactor last year.

Speaking of Metchie I feel like the writing is on the wall for him. He'll likely make the roster this year but I don't see a path to him producing much without a couple of major WR injuries. Maybe if he makes the roster next year he can compete for WR3 but that seems like the ceiling at this point.

I don't pretend to speak with insider information, but in listening to the way Nick and DeMeco speak about Metchie, they are going to give him every opportunity and then some to come back from an awful medical situation.

Also, there is a chance that Nico and/or Diggs are not with the team after this season. Just can't assume the Big 3 receivers are entrenched for anything other than the next 20 games.

I’m fairly certain Diggs will be gone after this year and Nico is back (assuming he plays as well as last year) but that’s why I said Metchie may have the opportunity to compete for the #3 spot. But we’re running short on years left on his contract and I’m not even sure if he’ll have much chance to prove himself on the field.

Don't disagree in terms of time left on contact and what he can prove before then. But he has two years left and a fully healthy Metchie is more talented than veterans Brown or Woods or a 6th rounder in X.
 
First media attempt i’ve found. Disagree with Ford/Lonnie Johnson over the likes of Bryant and King in the DB room. Also would carry an extra LB instead of a 10th OL.

Houston Texans 53-Man Roster Prediction, 2024 Version 1.0

The Houston Texans wrap up the offseason portion of the 2024 calendar year this week, and soon training camp will be here. Actually, training camp will be here earlier than normal, as the Texans participation in the Hall of Fame Game on August 1 allows the coaches to start camp...

Minicamp roster projection: Main changes are 3 QB offense. Going down to 3 TE. Skowronek adds position flexibility and makes the team. Quitoriano out. Woods out for Skowronek. Brown stays due to cap hit relative to Woods and ability to sub at Nico’s spot.

Defense dropped Murray at safety for Hinish at DT. The players are both JAGs imo, but I would rather carry an extra DL on the active roster given how much DeMeco wants to rotate them on gameday.

Offense: 26
3 QB: Stroud, Keenum, Mills
4 RB: Mixon, Pierce, Jordan, Ogunbowale
1 FB: Beck
6 WR: Diggs, Collins, Dell, Metchie, Brown, Skowronek
2 LT: Tunsil, Heck
2 LG: Green 1 Green 2
2 C: Scruggs, Patterson
1 RG: Mason
2 RT: Howard, Fisher
3 TE: Schultz, Stover, Jordan

Defense: 24
4 DE: Anderson, Hunter, Barnett, Edwards
5 DT: Fatukasi, Autry, Settle, Davis, Hinish
6 LB: Al-Sha'air, Harris, To'o To'o, Hewitt, Hill, Hansen
5 CB: Stingley, Okudah, Lassiter, Bryant, Henderson
4 S: Pitre, Ward, Bullock, Stewart

ST: 3
1 Punter: Townsend
1 Kicker: Fairbairn
1 LS: Weeks
