What will the wide receiver Corps look if we draft a Mims or a Reagor at 2.40 + Fuller returns healthy? IIRC, Reagor avg 15+ with poor QB.
Flow Chart to determine Prospect's Texan Worthinessseriously, when have the Texans followed the pre-draft script in terms of the highest position of need with universally thought of highest rated player?
I'm more interested in seeing if the Texans can get a Sharpie and Howard ie: WR and a pass rusher with our two second-round. 3rd to go for a cornerback and we could get a running back with our remaining fourth-rounder. See I am trying to get past my disappointmentEveryone healthy (lol), it will look 3 veterans with solid specific roles and a rookie trying to figure out the NFL. Last year was well above average for rookie WRs making an instant impact and not one totaled 60 catches.
of course, this means that one of those guys falls to the Texans and BOB picks one over a DT/DE or something else (or taking the WR that is rated as a 4th rounder) I mean remember last year this time when all of Draftsperts were talking about the Alabama State and Northern Illinois LTs the Texans were taking with their first and second round.

I would have loved this signing if NUK was here...real depth. Instead, Cobb keeps the WR corps from awful because a solid. professional player...as you say pretty good ( not more than that though).
I like his combine 40 but he's not quite that game fast at his size. Due to all the depth at wide receiver I had him going at 4.128 but hopefully that's the fourth round we traded to... No I just can't say it. Claypool, Stills/Cobb, Fuller?
I’m not sure what you mean by “he’s not quite that game fast at his size”? Tall athletes, generally speaking, don’t have the acceleration ability of shorter athletes but once they get going their speed starts to show. If you looked at the 10m splits of Usain Bolt you’d see what I mean. His first 10-20 aren’t special, but once he gets going it’s over. Taller receivers generally aren’t as quick in and out of breaks either due to a higher COG. What Claypool has is size, jumping ability (40” VJ) speed (whether he looks fast or not) and length. I believe his wingspan is 80”. I think he could become a match up nightmare for most DBs. Imagine a 5’11-6’ DB trying to defend a 6’4” WR with long arms and a 40” VJ. Claypool also has an excellent catch radius. One of the knocks on Watson by some is his accuracy. How can you help with that, by getting WRs that can create separation or that have a big catch radius. Claypool is an excellent run blocker as well. Like it or not, we all know OB loves to run the ball. Having a WR that can and will run block is important IMO. I like him for us because he’s different than what we already have, which is a bunch of smaller quick/fast WRs.
Also, I’d love to grab him in the 3rd or 4th but I don’t think he’ll last that long
Is Chase Claypool A First-Round Talent?
A recent mock draft has Notre Dame WR Chase Claypool in round one, but does he have the game to support that kind of hype?www.si.com
Not insulting Claypool but his game speed in my view doesn't equate with the 4.42 and he does not appear to be a "streak" even once he builds up. Strong defenders will slow his get to speed ability. He does have "game speed" which DBs and LBs under estimate to their chagrin. He is a target inside or outside & his size/strength vertical 40.5 puts him in as a plus for Watson. Negative is his build up speed doesn't help #4 needing "quick throw get me out this" that Reagor does. I agree with all else you say including he might be gone but when I mocked him in round 4 we still had a certain #10 reducing need for drafted WRs.I’m not sure what you mean by “he’s not quite that game fast at his size”?

Not sure which you are referring to but Cobb no, Claypool, Mims and Reagor are definite possibilities depending on game plan. I am expecting TEs/RBs getting more targets and depending on how new WRs progress more emphasis on running game. FYI to MB there are some tantalizing WRs day three as are RBs.Will either one of these receivers crack the 1000-1500 yards mark?
What movie is that from? It don't look familiar to me.Lol love that movie!
I saw the movie but I was drawing a brain fart. Thanks for telling me.View attachment 5763
I was about 10 or so when it came out..1 of my earliest movie memories as a kid is seeing that scary looking dude on that mortocyle.

Randall Cobb is a waste of a signing. Injury prone and inconsistent. We are gonna have to do a lot better than Cobb to compensate for Hopkins.
The only way we can compensate for Hopkins is by signing AB. Now is not the time for Butt Chin to be picky or get on his high horse. He got himself in this mess and it’s up to him to clean it up!Randall Cobb is a waste of a signing. Injury prone and inconsistent.

I would hesitate to say that he was good last year. He put up decent numbers, but when you look at all the other weapons Dallas had to take pressure off of him, it adds up. We have no Zeke Elliot, we have no Amari Cooper, etc. I would expect more of the Cobb from 2016-2018 as opposed to the Cobb from 2019.Cobb was actually good last yr and will be the best slot WR since BOB's been here. He's a massive upgrade over Coutee/Carter. He wasn't signed to replace Hopkins.
Now you know how it feels to be old. My brain fart so much it's now affecting my allergies.I saw the movie but I was drawing a brain fart. Thanks for telling me.
I just could not stay focused on Tyrie as size and speed great but minimal production last two years. IIRC only 5 KR at about 25 each and no PR?Cleveland is my favorite day 3 WR because he's very dynamic as a KR/PR too.
I completely agree with you and Otis BeanI think Reagor goes before Claypool, but Claypool in the RZ is a very tantalizing pick. I trust Otisbean when he said Claypool is better than Boykin and Boykin was very good last yr.
100% agree again. He would have been great with Hop on the field. As I said elsewhere I believe David Johnson will be much better then many think when We get past the emotion. His cap hit is what irks meCobb was actually good last yr and will be the best slot WR since BOB's been here. He's a massive upgrade over Coutee/Carter. He wasn't signed to replace Hopkins.
Shhh, he's supposed to be good and worth the money we gave him.
Yeah as of the last few years it seems my mind draws a blank more and more. I am 48 years old.Now you know how it feels to be old. My brain fart so much it's now affecting my allergies.
My 3 hours on gameday will be well spent sitting outside ,bbq'ing and listenig to red dirt country music
Until bill is gone
I also like comedy & tragedy. I’ll be fine with the Texans

I so want to see O’Brien and Brown on the same sideline. How wonderful would that be.
The circus would be in town for sure!
Funny how Belichick was willing to bring AB last yr but BOB isn't.
Every thought about why? #NotTexansWorthy. McNair
let’s see who thinks he’s worthy now. I doubt the Patriots would look at him again. He is most likely not NFL worthy anymore.
AB is toxic now, regardless what the Texans think
from the way the circus that was Antonio Brown turned out in NE, the Texans were right.Funny how Belichick was willing to bring AB last yr but BOB isn't.

I like the guy. I wonder if he will still feel the same at the end of the season?
“The reason I picked the Texans is, obviously, I think that you look at what they’ve been able to do over the past few years,” Cobb said. “[They] went to the playoffs four of the past five times. At this point in my career, I still don’t have a ring, so I want to be in a situation where I have that possibility. I think when you look at Deshaun and what he’s been able to do since he’s been in the league, I’ve been really impressed from afar watching him. He has tremendous ability. He’s a winner. He’s won at every level, from high school to college. I think he has that ability to take us to a Super Bowl and I want to be a part of something special with him.”
Last I heard he was coaching high school football somewhere!Is TJ Houshmandzadeh availabe? "Championship!"
Outside the handful of "I would rather be right" posters, most of the board wants to move past that stuff from yesterday. I hope the Texans find the Michael Thomas 2nd round WR who gets 'it"right away, but the realistic part of me says that if a WR is taken he is going to 50/50 being any good in the short term at best and cynical part says the Texans are going pull another what the heck (nice word) in or before the draft.
