2023 DRAFT PICK SELECTION THREAD

[TexansBull]

True, but why just throw them away? Did they really have to give up 2 picks to move 3 spots from 65 to 62 to take Scruggs?

They are not being thrown away if they are using them to get the player they want.

And yes they really felt they had to move up three spots or any for that matter. Philly moved up one spot to draft the player they wanted. It’s not uncommon to do.

The player may have been their second/third rated option and saw the first/second option fly off and weren’t willing to sacrifice any more. And if the player is the first option and their is pressure that someone may take him before then pull the trigger and get the player.

Get what you and don’t settle for second best. Or you will be second best.

Do we not remember getting Garapollo gettin taken right before we were to draft him?

I think the point in spending the last few years acquiring all this draft capital is so they could go get the guys they want. They got rid of DW, they cleaned up the cap, they got their coach. This is the ideal time to go get the players who will be the foundation of your franchise.

I like the draft so far, but someone should tell Riverboat Nick he doesn't have to make a trade every time.

I am okay with the trades only the players selected. I am hopeful but wait and see for Tank but Scruggs I cannot see starting except for how poor our current guys are.

All that trading isn't needed

dang my streaming app froze. We got Horton?

Yep.

With a name like Juice, how can he not start?

I love the fact that the nicknames should be swapped. Juice Scruggs is built like a Tank, and Tank Dell brings the Juice.

 

[BullRushTX]

Trade details:

Eagles got pick 104 - Texans got Eagles 2024 3rd
Raiders got pick 105 and 203 - Texans got 109 and 174

Horton is the type of high upside, high motor guy that should thrive in a Ryans defense

 

[The1ApplePie]

I imagine someone takes a flyer on Vorhees this round.

 

[TexansFan15]

Damn! IND got Rush. I

 

[gwallaia]

Clayton Tune selected by the Cardinals.

 

[ghostlight]

Tanner McKee QB Stanford would be a nice 5th round pick up

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Tanner McKee QB Stanford would be a nice 5th round pick up

We drafted him in 2021

 

[Toro Bravo]

I like the draft so far, but someone should tell Riverboat Nick he doesn't have to make a trade every time.

I think his nickname is Trader Nick! Someone get him a Jimmy Johnson trade chart because his chart is broken.

 

[JB]

Henry To'oTo'o
Alabama linebackers!

He did it again! LOL

What was the price to move up?

 

[powda]

We sure trade a lot.

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

A boatload of good RBs are still available

 

[The Pencil Neck]

I'm so pissed off. I got a call from work with an emergency in Production and I missed our PICK. DAMMIT, JIM!

 

[Errant Hothy]

What was the price to move up?

259

 

[ghostlight]

Camp fodder

 

[Texansballer74]

Watch he will be a starter one day.

49ers picking in front of Texans take Robert Beal Jr. edge Georgia

Texan traded away pick and Rams take Georgia tackle Warren McClendon Jr.

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Texans getting A LOT of air time on nfl network

Demeco on talking about the draft now

 

[The1ApplePie]

Wypler still on the board

 

[Thorn]

Casino just being Casino.

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Wypler still on the board

This speaks to why I don't like the concept of "reach" in drafting.

 

[beerlover]

Perfectly understandable. Honestly, don’t think they care or get it. Football mentality.

 

[powda]

Positionally, I guess we'd probably be looking for a defensive back about now?

Maybe another Alabama guy...

 

[beerlover]

Maybe another Alabama guy...

Someone corrected me with the most draft prospects being Alabama not Georgia but color me still skeptical.

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Wypler FINALLY goes at 190 to the Browns.

 

[texanhead08]

Is this real life because the Texans haven't drafted a TE yet ?

Cool your jets. We still have a couple of picks. Trust the process...

201 Jarrett Patterson G Notre Dame

First pick I really don’t care for

 

[BattleRedBlud]

Hmm. Why not Kuntz TE or Trice CB?

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Annnddd.... we're on the clock.

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Xavier Hutchinson, WR. Iowa State.

 

[Number19]

This crept up on me. Was it another trade?

 

[Errant Hothy]

Xavier Hutchinson, WR. Iowa State.

F’ king love this pick.

 

[Number19]

Don't understand this when Iosivas was still on the board and taken immediately after.

 

[Errant Hothy]

Don't understand this when Iosivas was still on the board and taken immediately after.

I’d say it was football player v athlete.

 

[powda]

So when do we pick again?

 

[The Pencil Neck]

So when do we pick again?

With the Casino, who can really know for sure...

But we're currently sitting at 248 in about 34 picks.
