2023 DRAFT PICK SELECTION THREAD

[Texazan]

How much did we trade to move from 25 to 12 to get Watson?

I think it’s a lot. I’d have been happy with Nolan Smith at 12.

But yeah, a drop off in talent.

I’m not mad. But it’s a lot.

swapped and gave them a 2018 1st IIRC

 

[DocBar]

And I see it as #12, #33 and a 1st rounder next year. That is a lot to give up for one player.

Youve got to consider what the Texans got: 1.3 Will Anderson Jr. Good deal to me. Potentially Julius Peppers and a franchise QB in the same draft. Works for me.

 

[badboy]

What would you give for the next Julius Peppers/JJ Watt? And get a potential franchise QB? Future draft picks are uber crapshoots.

Anderson more TJ Watt than JJ but used a lot on the line, and that ain't bad.

 

[thunderkyss]

You tell me..

Houston traded its 2017 first-round pick (No. 25) and 2018 first-round pick to move up to No. 12.

This happened because we got Stroud. I won't be a nagging detractor and I'll support. Heck, I think Stroud can become an average or better starter. But it will really sucks if he mids out on us. It will set the franchise back.

Such a shame Young wasn't there. I could have gotten onboard with that.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Jalen Carter looks exactly like Stacy Abrams

******* nightmare.

 

[Texansphan]

I think of it as trading for the QB, not the DE

Exactly. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
I proposed this trade a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Texazan]

Look, I dont care anymore about future draft picks, especially when we have a LOT of them. Swing for the ******* fences for once and lets go. I'm sick of never making moves. I loved WA but was not overly hot for CJ but we picked up two concensus top players in this draft for once so LFG. I think CJ fits really well in this offense AND we kept him out IND and TEN.

 

[whodknee]

Still have 65 73 104 105. May end up with 6 starters if the picks are good

 

[TheMatrix31]

We should trade up again to pick Gonzalez.

A third, first next year, and a future 2nd or some ****..... I don't know.

Indy got the eventual better QB. We should be scared of what Steichen and Richardson can very realistically become. Texans could be playing second fiddle on offense in the Conference for a long time. Should have gotten Richardson.

But whatever. It is what it is. Hope Stroud pans out to become a frontline QB.

 

[Mollywhopper]

Houston traded its 2017 first-round pick (No. 25) and 2018 first-round pick to move up to No. 12.

The cost differential in moving to 12th versus moving to 3rd..

 

[Texansphan]

That is range of Jalin Hyatt and Schmitz but costs both round threes. Prob worth it for either but both spots could probably be had.

Yeah we still have some interesting picks left here with #65, #73, #104 and now #105. You can stay with these or move around with trades in multiple combinations.

 

[Rich Schmidt]

I like Gonzalez, but our CB situation is ok. Need some of that capital for a OC, WR, LB. Maybe RB and TE even.

You forgot all the IF's in your fawning over Richardson.

Also, the version of WCO that this team will run doesn't need a cannon-armed running QB with accuracy issues.

 

[badboy]

Getting two of top three ranked players on many boards is impressive no matter what we think of those players. We have four of the top 105 picks left.

 

[TheMatrix31]

True but I believe in a bangin' secondary.

I wish that we found a way to get Anderson by trading down from 2, get Witherspoon/Gonzalez from trading up from 12 using capital, and using 33 in some creative fashion as well.

But ya.

 

[Rich Schmidt]

Wypler (OC) at 65, Henley (LB) at 73, Mingo (WR) at 104 ??

I can agree the type of WCO was not the ideal fit. So, low IQ QB with crappy agent who patters his game around Michael Vick it is!

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Best draft announcement of the night is the kid for the Jets.

Hyperbole is always the best way to make your points. I'm convinced now.

Slowik will change Stroud to fit his system as he was successful with Purdy. I am putting my hopes and dreams into our coaches now.

 

[badboy]

Is it just my imagination or are there a lot less posters involved this draft?

 

[pirbroke]

I go Commanders at 16

The drop continues

 

[TheMatrix31]

Patriots take Gonzalez. ****. Come on man letting those guys get good players. ****.

 

[sandman]

The drop continues

I could see Tampa, but wondering if Seattle will go for him now with #20?

 

[whodknee]

Is it just my imagination or are there a lot less posters involved this draft?

There are about six draft threads on here tonight

 

[Texansphan]

Wypler (OC) at 65, Henley (LB) at 73, Mingo (WR) at 104 ??

Yes please!

 

[JB]

I suspected Christian Gonzalez who is falling for some reason.

Really surprised he fell to 17

 

[sandman]

Is it just my imagination or are there a lot less posters involved this draft?

Circle jerk started immediately after the 3rd pick...

 

[Lucky]

Christian Gonzalez to the Pats at #17. Eliot Wolf got a steal.

 

[Decim8]

Saints would be another option

 

[Texansballer74]

 

[sandman]

Saints would be another option

Last year of Cousins' contract in Minny and he will be 36. That might be an option at 24. Can't see him falling all the way to the Saints at 29.

 

[badboy]

yes but mostly same on all.

That's not what his film shows.

thanks I was going to research that tomorrow. I couldn't remember any.

[JB]

Houston traded its 2017 first-round pick (No. 25) and 2018 first-round pick to move up to No. 12.

12 to 3 is worth twice the value of 25 to 12 per the trade value chart

 

[Rich Schmidt]

Wow, Lions throwing value out the window, Gibbs at 12, and Campbell at 18. Good players, but seems at least 10-15 picks early for each to me

 

[Xopher]

Wow I bet all of us who wanted Campbell in the 2nd feel like idiots now. What the hell is Detroit thinking? They drafted two 2nd rounders in the first. Geez just try and trade back.

 

[austins23]

So as it stands right now the Texans don’t pick again until the 3rd round??

[/QUOTE]
It's one thing to be 5'10 against college players, I didn't want to see him on our team against NFL size D-Linemen. Glad the Panthers took him.

Somewhere @Texian is lol’ing!!

Recent mocks have been showing Gibbs and Campbell in the first

 

[sandman]

Do we start getting a run on WR's now? We've been through the QBs, DL/LBs and OTs.

 

[Lucky]

I'm sure the Lions got their guys. I just think they could have gotten them a half round later.

 

[pokerfaceSATX]

This is total opposite of the few mock drafts I did with trades. I kept trading back for more picks like AZ. Caught me totally off guard with the trade up. Do your thing Casserio/DeMeco! I like it!

 

[Lucky]

That was solely for his benefit. @Texian is not having a good night.
