Anyone that had Howard rated higher on their board than Dillard was non-existent. I didn't see one draft expert out there that had Howard rated higher. Dillard was by many accounts 1 of 2 prospects that could come in and start in the NFL from week 1 at Left Tackle. The other guy was Bengals pick jonah williams. So since Dillard was the one who dropped down on draft day, not trading up to get him was stupid and lazy.

If the Texans wind up starting Tytus Howard and Max Sharping, their first- and second-round picks, as bookend tackles, score it as a big win for second-year GM Brian Gaine. He went into the job with a big need at those spots, and really one left tackle solution on the free-agent market in 2018 (Nate Solder) and one on the market in 2019 (Trent Brown), with no first- or second-round pick last year. Being patient wasn’t easy, of course—the Texans had to make it work with less last year. But they never broke the bank or mortgaged draft capital, and now they have short-term insurance (Matt Kalil, Seantrel Henderson) at those spots, and potential long-term answers. And at affordable prices in an environment where offensive line spending has spiraled upward. Howard, by the way, was the Texans’ target for the two or three weeks leading into draft weekend, and Sharping, for his part, has flashed early in Houston. So keep an eye on those two.

Not sure how much I'd use the "experts" as an argument considering that the best ones were Todd McShay and Daniel Jeremiah both with 9 out of 32 and the first 2 of those were pretty easy to call. Being right 28%, 21% if you take out the first two as freebies, of the time on something does not equal expert in my book.

Or you could say 78% & 78%, if you're going by their first round picks actually being taken in the first round.
Looked at that way it doesn't quite fit that "well, they're not experts" agenda, does it?

Care to guess who the first actual first round pick was that NONE of them had on their first round lists?

This is when I hope that Gaine really is the smartest guy in the room...and that Devlin is better than he appears.

Eh, I'll give you Steelers but you were all over the Packers FO for a few years, specifically Ron Wolf and his son. And I didn't mention the Cowboys but you've been all about how they built their Oline compared to the Texans.

You stump for a team hard while they are hot, then move on to the next team that is hot. I get it. Unless the FO does things the way you want them done, your opinion is that they will never build a champion.

I have no issue with your opinion, but rather the fallacy of your straw man argument that since they have never won a Super Bowl, your opinion is validated as fact.

But there is no objective reason to assume Howard will be a better LT than Dillard. All evidence points to Dillard.
I liked the entirety of your post. You're right. It's a moot point. All we can do now is hope for the best.

But as far as all objective reasons... I've read air raid OL don't do well in the NFL. If Dillard has a long career at LT he'll be the first. Never mind any accolades, all-pro, SB, & what not.

Is that BS? Have air raid tackles been successful in the NFL?

Were the Texans the only team that needed a franchise LT that could start day 1? I mean the team that got Dillard doesn't need him to start year 1, much less day 1.

Guards & Centers came off the board before this "can't miss" LT.

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse. Really I'm not. But the narrative just doesn't fit what actually happened.

Regardless what the Texans did I have to believe the NFL has more competent starting LTs than they have spots for, that a can't miss day 1 starting LT would drop to 22.

& maybe that's the case. Oakland spent a boatload to put the best LT in this year's FA on the right side. Donald Penn is still looking for a job, & we spent $7.5M for a swing Tackle.

It's the same BS that was said about Air Raid QBs not being successful in the NFL. Until last year's MVP and the past two #1 overall picks put that to rest.

But, there have been some good to very good OTs of of these college offenses. UH's Sebastian Vollmer was a very solid RT for the Pats until injuries took their toll. Jake Matthews came out of Kevin Sumlin's offense at A&M and become a productive LT for a SB team. And the Eagles took Lane Johnson out of OU, who has been both a an All Pro and a Super Bowl starter at RT.

The main reason we aren't seeing a ton highly drafted OTs out of the pass heavy offenses is that better athletes at the position are signing with these schools. Because there has been a knock against these offenses by NFL scouts and coaches. They aren't playing "pro style" football. Except, the NFL is trending towards the spread offense, now. So we will see more o-lineman out of these offense, because more colleges are running them and more NFL offense are mimicking them. That's why the Eagles didn't hesitate in selecting Dillard. They've had success with Lane Johnson and their OTs take most of their snaps out of a 2 point stance.

I guess the question is, what kind of offense is O'Brien going to run? The wide open offense we saw in Watson's rookie year? Or the 3 yards and a cloud of dust, pound Lamar Miller up the middle offense? The OT play forced that type of offense in 2018. Is that what we're looking at in 2019? Sure seems like it.

That was Texian that wanted Eliot Wolf.

I wouldn't have had a problem with the McNair's hiring Wolf. He may be more like Dorsey (Whose staff he joined in Cleveland) than Thompson.

Virtually all evaluations? I looked up one (Zierlein on NFL.com) and it said the opposite on Dillard and Howard. I said to myself I would shutup about this. It's moot, Howard is a Texan. I just don't care for apologizing for Gaine and O'Brien's gamble before we see anything on the field. If it works, they're geniuses, Watson is an All Pro, and the Texans are Super Bowl contenders. But there is no objective reason to assume Howard will be a better LT than Dillard. All evidence points to Dillard.
The anchor comments came up during my search for predraft analyses. ProFootballWeekly is one that I would put up as equally respected as Zierlein. And for many reasons I've already posted, I would certainly have to say that all evidence does not point to Dillard. As you said, at this point it is moot, and we will find out in time.

The Sooners have never run anything close to the Air Raid offense of Washington State. They have always relied heavily on a strong run game (even more so in recent years).

It’s late just getting some 2019 Senior Bowl film in because, the first three draft picks of Texans all played and also 5th rd pick Omenihu started #90 as well.

Lonnie Johnson took opening kick-off 25 yards up the middle (also did first punt return) Oh, this is the Tytus Howard thread. Well he started for the South @ RT opposite side Andre Dillard. Scharping started for the North @ LT.

Dillard is horrible blocker. He is a specialist in pass pro only now, something for him and Eagle coaching staff to worry about. Howard was impressive. Plus run blocker and really solid in pass pro, best all around but would say right side his strong side. Scharping moves really well, big frame and active. Prime candidate to kick inside more than Howard, doesn’t have enough bend & slide to pick up edge speed, I see a lot of whiffs in his future, but get him inside with his big body he can hold his ground.

Do you think Dillard can. learn to run block? If so you have your LT of the future. I too see Howard as a RT due to his avg athleticism.

By 2020 I could see an OL of

Draft pick/Rankin/Fulton/Scharping/Howard.

2020 is a great LT class. There are 4-5 LT's that are better than this yrs class. Minus Williams.

It will be such a great thing to have a young talented OL in yr 3 of the rebuild.

When I went back and watched tape on Tytus Howard at the senior bowl one of the more consistent players there that doesn't get talked about enough was Chuma Edoga out of USC. Only thing Lance knocked him on was his weird frame. Jets drafted him at 92nd overall. I think they got good value on him.

Howard is anything but an average athlete. He has size, girth, natural knee bender, excellent lateral movement skills and fluid hips. Looks all very natural to me, like to see Texan weight and conditioning coach develop more explosion, quickness and strength, then you’ll see Texans really got hold of something.

More muscle, endurance, flexibility, and explosion will help all of the linemen. I am going to speculate that these things are the goals of the S&C staff.

Let's hope that Howard and Scharping aren't over-trained, as happened with Cush.

Good research. About to loose my game film when switch service providers, AT&T dropped NFL Network, so that was reason why this popped up again, what I discovered was a great watch. Heck Omenihu beat Dillard to QB on one play even, lol. Not sure if it’s on this clip or not? But four picks from this one event by Texans must be some kind of record...

Not to sound pessimistic because we have yet to see Howard play but I really do think he could benefit from an entire season/off-season in an NFL program.

When Rankin came in, I also mentioned that he was carrying a lot of bad weight. It sounds like he has come into OTA's with a bigger upper body and a slimmer waist. I think Howard will need the same thing before we see the 1st round investment. (Probably why he is getting initial work at guard)

My guess is the Texans agree with you and that's why they brought in guys like Kalil on one year deals. They're hoping they can last long enough to get the rookies more to an NFL level. As much as some on here say that a round one should be able to be a day one starter that's just not realistic for most positions. Maybe for something like a WR, then its mostly learn the plays and catch the ball, but something like a OT there are a lot of things that have to change going from a college system to an NFL system.

Some #Bengals news here. Makes sense, as Jonah Williams only wanted to play LT. With both him and Cordy Glenn in the lineup it should greatly improve their OL.

Jonah was picked #11 and was projected to be a first year starter. First tweet doesn't make much sense.

That may have been their thinking with Howard. A lock at RT, possible LT. He's still developing into a Tackle. Just three years ago he was small enough to play TE, along with the athleticism required to play TE.

They'll have a year with him to decide if he should make the move to LT, or if they should draft one.

I'm sorry did you have a point other than naming random OTs? Williams hasn't played one NFL game yet so its a little early to hold him up as an example, Robinson had a decent year but really wasn't anything special and then went out early the next season, I'll grant you Smith had a great rookie year. Just because a guy is made a starter his rookie year doesn't mean its the best choice. Just like if Watson could have got to ride the bench a season behind a vet like Mahomes did he could have been even better.

Saying a rookie will be the starter is different than saying that they should be the starter.

Nothing against Alabama State but I doubt they have the weight room and training staff of the Crimson Tide or any big school . After going through a pro off season and getting some shorts that fit , I bet he improves a lot with his agility .
