Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
Agreed! We need an OT too but this team has never had 3 quality safeties. Hal will be coming off the bench by mid season.Easily BPA there. I love this pick. If Honey Badger pans out, we may have a great defense this year
so lets bpa and get rudolf and the louletta qb with our other 2 picks. hur dur.
Can't believe he dropped out of the 1st round. And very durable with no significant injury history!Best Safety in the draft for my money. First round talent at #68. I think he's a top 20 player. Unreal. Great pick.

This is honestly the first time i've ever seen you say that about anybody... best endorsement ever!!!
Jinxed.Can't believe he dropped out of the 1st round. And very durable with no significant injury history!
I've been wanting this position addressed for so many years that I finally gave up hope. Now it seems like the backfield has an entirely new identity.

God has a plan in place. I’ll end up where I’m supposed to be at and will shock the world when I do

Now go sign his brother and have a secondary that can compete with Jax as the best in the NFL. The Texans damned sure have the cap space for that.Sarah Barshop@sarahbarshop 9h9 hours ago
Reid said he and older brother Eric, who played for the 49ers, break down film together: “He let me into some NFL strategy and what they were doing against opposing teams so that I would already have a feel for that how process or routine would be whenever I got to this stage.”
The Texans like the versatility Reid brings at safety. “[He’s got] interchangeable ability in terms of playing strong safety, free safety, ability to play the run and ability to play the pass,” Brian Gaine said. “We feel like he’s a fully dimensional safety at the position.”
I've read some insinuation that Justin isn't a big hitter in a few places. That's bunk. He hits in the secondary. He comes up and hits in short yardage. That is not an issue. I don't know of an issue, which makes me wonder if there's an issue the public doesn't know about. That's how dumbfounded I am that Reid made it to 3.68. The Steelers took Edmunds at 1.28 (about where I thought Reid would go). But, I'm convinced Edmunds was picked as a nickel LB to replace Shazier. The Steelers did not take a college LB, but did take a true Safety later in Penn State's Marcus Allen. The Bengals took Jessie Bates, a centerfield type FS with man cover skills. Reid can do that, and like GEICO, gives you more.Scouting Report: He doesn’t bring the kind of linebacker-like physicality of older brother Eric, but Justin has the athleticism and instincts to be one of the league’s better safeties in coverage. He’s at his best in centerfield, but is also capable of matching up with athletic tight ends and has the strength and physicality to play the run

Is Justin Reid the best value pick in the 2018 draft? Yes broheim, it's not even close.
You can look at it this way:If you really want to put a positive spin on this draft -
Rd 1 - D. Watson

I haven't seen Reid lead with his head. Maybe he has, I don't know. But, you still need to give good legal hits. At least until they start wearing flags.With the rule changes should teams even want "big hitters" anymore? Give me the safeties with superior ball/coverage skills over the heavy hitters all day..those type of safeties days are numbered in today's league.
You can look at it this way:
Deshaun Watson for Jabrill Peppers + Denzel Ward. Not knocking the Big 10 DBs, but all 32 teams make that deal, in retrospect. Even the Browns.
I still think it's pretty cut & dried. Unless you think Rosen is going to produce something close to 21 TDs in his first 7 games.Just saying it's not as cut and dry as to who Clev chose.
If he fell because of his brother, then I think we have reached a point of absurdity and the guilt by association is ridiculous.
If Justin fell because of his brother's workplace issues, then hopefully the players have learned a valuable lesson. Doubtful
What lesson would that be? That you will be unjustifiably be punished for someone else’s actions?

You cant be doing that kinda sh!t at work.
Atleast I cant, can you?
Read above he stated he stated he would stand, and he’s not his brother!!!

He's already burned that bridge to the ground and is going to suffer the consequences.
We can all hope Justin is his own man and is smart enough (Stanford) not to ruin his career too.
To steer this back to the road, Reid has exceptional athleticism (obviously), but he profiles as an NFL safety with 96th percentile athleticism according to his Z-Sparq. Basically he has the physical tools to be elite to say the least.
This is a very interesting take on justice you have where a person should be punished for the "sins" of the brother.
He shouldn't/wont be punished for the sins of his brother in the Texans org. The reason he fell is there were some very good S prospects this yr and GM's didn't want to take a chance that he would act like his brother. You may disagree with me, but that's the only reason I can think of that this guy fell to the 3rd rd. I had him as my #3 Safety prospect. James/Bates/Reid.
