A start at stability would be to fortify the OL/DL. I'm so tired of bad ol play I'm beginning to think Caserio should hire Munchak as HC. At least that would surely get fixed.
The ol play is fine
I don't think that matters. If that were the case, all the best qbs would be from the SEC. You look at traits and alot of that is projections. Brady played at Michigan, the Big 10 wasn't a powerhouse, neither was the Pac10 with Rodgers. Wyoming and Texas Tech? I think when you're looking at qbs, you have to do so with an open mind and know what you're looking at.
It matters. It's not the end all be all but another piece of the puzzle
I tend to agree - if a guy can pass well, you have raw material to mold - case in point, Bailey Zappe. You just need some good coaches and team around them.
ND seem to always be at a speed disadvantage. They look like a Big 10 school when it come to prospects. When was the last high end skill player to come from ND?
It's better than what it was, but it's hardly fine.
Claypool?
Hindsight is 20/20, but I think one of Caserio's biggest mistakes was not drafting a proper WR1 prospect with one of those 2 first round picks. Someone like Olave or Garrett who could play to Mills strengths in the vertical passing game and stretch the field and make plays. Instead, he chose Metchie. who even without the unfortunate blood disorder, would still have been coming off a torn ACL and probably wouldn't have been effective this season. What a blunder... Never gave this offense or Mills a chance.
I agree. I might also look into an early Day 2 quarterback, with LT starter potential, to drive competition for Mills, so we don't leave the position uncovered. All I can say for absolute certainty is that if a lottery QB is taken with this roster and with PH as OC, it will be set up for failure just like Mills has been set up for failure. Doesn't excuse his poor play at times and obvious need to improve, but this offense talent/depth/scheme is a dumpster fire.
Claypool and St. Brown now that I think about it at wr. They're known more for their ol/dl players recently.
I recall a WR Texans drafted who had great speed and skill, just cannot stay healthy
I'm still trying to see what you see in Carter. He has no pass rush moves nor is he a good pass rusher.
Go back and look at his tape from last year.
Go watch the Oregon tape, 1st game of the season. I don't care about last year, that's a non factor. Tell me about this year. Even Anderson is struggling some, but you can still see his amazing attributes.

Just playing, I like Carter, even though he did get his block knocked off. I just don't think he generational as you like to sayThat's Georgia, they always got studs. So what happens when he's playing with nobodies on the texans defensive front. Again, If I'm taking a defender that high, its an edge freak like Murphy to play opposite of Greenard.

Is that him getting his helmet knocked off or is that another player?
Why would you draft a non generational idt top 5? Cox was 12 in a draft that had 3 qb early. You need a Sapp/Donald/McCoy/Harris when you take a dt that high right? Do you think he can be either of those guys if he's top 3?
You said Murphy has no outstanding traits? You playing right? Look at his size,quickness,length,explosion and production. He's 6'5 275 and he can stay and play low. He can strike,shed,and stack. He can speed to power and he's very bendable for someone that size. I like Breese too although I see him more effort type of guy.Go watch that tape and you see both flash.
Its just ball bro. Every prospect has to be evaluated differently from others.Chubb who just got traded was a good football player, but can't stay healthy and is in a contract year. Nothing was said about him having issues off field. Those Clemson dl players have been more successful than those dl players under Saban and even Georgia for the most part. Hell, 2 of the best pass rushers in the nfl come from TAMU recently.
In this last draft Cleamons was a steal.
Vols defense also getting shredded so far
He's something else. Unfortunately, it isn't likely the Texans land him- drafting a TE in the top 10 is pretty uncommon, especially a TE who is still relatively unproven as a receiving threat. Barring a trade, I think the Texans will be picking too high in the first for Washington to make sense... and he'll be gone by the Texans' second rounder.
Are you thinking that the Cleveland pick will be about 20 or that Caserio trades down and gets a high 2nd?
I’d be surprised if he went later than 20. He’s as safe a prospect as you’ll find at TE due to his size, blocking ability, and athleticism. He might not be a star- I think he may become one, but there is some projection involved due to his usage in college. But you can stick him next to an OT right now and he’d be a positive influence in the run game. That has a lot of value. He has shown that he can be a mismatch in the pass game, and that he has decent enough hands. That has value.
The Cleveland pick.
Who's available?
That's who is available at 10 or gone before 10?
No clue. It depends who is available and who I picked at the Texans’ first pick. The glib answer would be BPA.
In this case say you picked Young 1st.
IF no trades were possible:
