2023 TEXANS DRAFT DISCUSSION

[DBCooper]

Here is some poop soup for you. Next year's draft the top 6 to 8 picks are better than this year's draft. 2024 1st RD picks are premium picks, you don't give them away. Giving away 1 of your 2 2024 1st RD picks may cost you a chance at Marvin Harrison or Brock Bowers or 1 of the 3 QBs who are all better than the QBs in this year's draft. The smart move would have been to trade back and pick up a 3rd 2024 1st RD pick. That would require someone to put down their Gameboy joystick and stop living in the moment. We call this forward-thinking Poop Soup.

We’re not going to be in the top 10 picks in next seasons draft.

 

[Lucky]

I don't know what all we gave up for him but from what I saw briefly on TV it was quite a bit more than that.

Oh, looks like 7.230 as well.

 

[76Texan]

I like Juice Scruggs, but there was a lot of talent on the board.

I guess they think he's a good fit.

 

[Number19]

Has big hands, long arms and had a fairly decent combine. Gave up 10 QB hurries, 3 QB hits and 1 QB sack last year. Before last year played mostly at OG.

 

[76Texan]

Oh, looks like 7.230 as well.

As long as we still have Mr. Irrelevant.

 

[76Texan]

Oh, looks like 7.230 as well.

Maybe the Texans already have too many camp bodies.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

I like Juice Scruggs, but there was a lot of talent on the board.

Yep. He is very strong to hold his own. But, as we expect to play WCO, watching him play his footwork is pretty slow.

 

[tomjn80]

Damn, liked Drew Sanders

 

[Lucky]

The Broncos got a 1st round talent in the 3rd round with Drew Sanders.

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Wait, we're on the clock?

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

Yep. He is very strong to hold his own. But, as we expect to play WCO, watching him play his footwork is pretty slow.

Just heard PFF say he was a center only, zone-only guy

 

[Brisco_County]

Probably taking LB next, but at some point I think we're taking Michael Wilson at WR.

 

[Number19]

Another trade up. Receiver?

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Looks like we traded 105 and something else to get up to 69... And it's DELL.

 

[The Pencil Neck]

Another trade up. Receiver?

We've still got 73.

 

[76Texan]

Another trade up. Receiver?

The good news is that there's still speed and/or quickness on the board.

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

Nathanial Dell

 

[Lucky]

Did Jalin Hyatt shoot someone? Why is he still on the board?

 

[Texian]

Boy, their trying to make the Cowboys relevant, referring to them as the 4-time SB Champions............not to mention Jerry bringing his cheerleaders to KC.

[The Pencil Neck]

What are we thinking at 73?

Achane?

 

[76Texan]

Yes.

 

[Brisco_County]

Oh **** we ninja traded for Dell.

 

[76Texan]

Nathanial Dell

For the first time in a long time, the Texans align with all my position needs.

 

[GanadoUHCoog]

Cougars fan. Dell to Texans woooo. Dude is solid. Only question is his size.

 

[76Texan]

Did Jalin Hyatt shoot someone? Why is he still on the board?

Like I said in some of the posts, Hyatt is an unknown against press man coverage.

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

For the first time in a long time, the Texans align with all my position needs.

Nick C. would be lying if he talks about the Texans taking BPA

 

[The Pencil Neck]

OK. I was lied to. PFF showed us as still having 73, but we don't.

 

[tomjn80]

Dell is electric

 

[GanadoUHCoog]

Trying to build the offense for Stroud. Fix interior OL, lock in franchise LT, develop better depth at WR, bring in a plus TE in Schultz, professional QB mentor in Keenum. Love to see it.

 

[76Texan]

I'm totally happy with this draft.
Anything else is just the spice of the gravy.

 

[Porky]

My top needs coming into this draft was QB, DE, C, and WR in that order.

The Texans have drafted a QB, DE, C, and WR in that order. That’s never ever happened in 20 years of watching this team draft.

Anything from here is gravy but I’d be over the moon if it’s Washington.

 

[The1ApplePie]

Best Qb available, best defensive player, and two starters on day 2. Solid so far

 

[76Texan]

Nick C. would be lying if he talks about the Texans taking BPA

I always think that teams talk about BPA in association with team needs.

 

[Brisco_County]

We really needed a burner on the outside and Dell is perfect. Dude will be a star. This offense is ready.

I thought Wilson would be the smart pick but Dell excites me. Love the pick.

 

[santo]

I wonder if we can still get Achane.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

I'm reading that Scruggs is athletic and a good fit for zone blocking. The other centers are power guys. ZBS compatibility is a justifiable reason to target him.

Not seeing or hearing good things about his mobility. He certainly lacks quickness.

 

[The1ApplePie]

Texans have two of the top three picks in the 4th, easily two more starters.

Take Vorhees and stash him for a year would be pretty damn sweet

Tell me about it.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Hope so.

 

[The Pencil Neck]

I wonder if we can still get Achane.

I doubt he drops to 104.

 

[badboy]

Dell great stats avg speed another surprise to me but a Uof H guy.
As a junior in 2021 he played 14 games and hauled in 91 catches for an outstanding 1327 yards for an average of 14.6 yards per catch, with 12 TDs, and a QB rating when targeted of 116.2.

As a senior in 2022 he played 12 games and led the nation with 102 catches and 1355 yards for an average of 13.3 yards per catch, 15 TDs, and an outstanding QB rating when targeted of 132.0.

• Hugely productive receiver - led the nation over the past two years with over 2700 yds and 29 TDs
• Dell accelerates quickly and possesses excellent straight-line speed. He shows solid ball-tracking skills and body control downfield, able to adjust to the off-target throw.

a slot receiver he has displayed the capability to operate on the outside.

• He’ll be coming to the NFL from a wide-open spread offense in which Dell ran a limited route tree.
• When corners play press and manage to get hold of Dell he can be taken out of the game and easily outmuscled

Hyatt goes at 73 and I am hoping coaches got this one right in Dell. Caserio said he wanted speed and 4.49 is so so.

We traded 105. We only have 104 left.

 

[The1ApplePie]

There goes Hiatt

 

[The1ApplePie]

We traded 105. We only have 104 left.

NFL.com still showing both

 

[Texian]

Texans receive
62nd overall pick
Eagles receive
65th overall pick
188th overall pick
230th overall pick

 

[Lucky]

Tank Dell is an exciting player. Is he better than Jalin Hyatt?

 

[TheRealJoker]

Tank Dell is an exciting player. Is he better than Jalin Hyatt?

I think the Texans will be using him as more than just WR. Manufacture touches for him from a variety of alignments. Also primary returner.

 

[Brisco_County]

Watch his film. His separation is insane.

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

One moment, please...

gbnreport.com

This is close to how I learned BPA...teams may also stack the board with only positions of true need
