2024 Draft Talk

[ObsiWan]

Jeremiah Trotter Jr just went off the board to Philly

wonder if he'll get his old man's number....?

 

[Marcus]

Part of the fun of this is seeing how the guys you like turn out vs how the guys they drafted turn out.

So, “part of the fun of this” is looking for a reason to criticize? That’s kinda weird if you ask me.

 

[Errant Hothy]

Might be time to give up on an RB this draft. They are flying off the board and the FO isn’t moving up to get one.

Early UDFA list anyone?

 

[Marcus]

I still don't understand the purpose of mock drafts or the whining that happens on draft days. People spend weeks even months trying to predict the players that will be selected by teams and even though they have no idea what a team is planning, they still get upset when the team doesn't select the players they expected or want the team to draft.

I don’t understand it, either. I never have, and probability never will. I don’t understand the weeks and months that put into it, when in the end, it’s a Christmas Day in reverse. It’s just so weird to me.

 

[TexansFan15]

I’d be happy with either of these guys with our 2 6th rounders:

Edge Gabriel Murphy
RB Blake Watson
DT Gabe Hall
CB Qwan’tez Stiggers
LB Nate Watson

We'll need to get lucky and find another UDFA like Arian Foster. LOL

 

[Porky]

I do mocks for fun, and I do some research into guys, concentrating on guys expected to be in the top 150 or so…and then some specific guys that intrigue me late.

Multiple reasons - to increase my knowledge of guys entering the league, it’s a hobby just like watching football, it helps my fantasy football acumen so I make better selections, it makes watching the draft a whole lot more fun and I try to match player to team, especially in the top 100 or so, and I do try to match wits with the GM of my favorite team.

I take none of it seriously and I’m not sitting around for hours every day. I’m not a film freak but do watch clips and read up on guys. So of course some of many takes are influenced by those that do watch a lot of film. I’m just a football fan, and I love the draft. I don’t see anything wrong with it whatsoever.

 

[Porky]

Is Brendan Rice still available? Laube? Stiggers would also intrigue me this late as a potential steal this late, but that’s a long shot give the two earlier picks.

Jets just took Stiggers

While I agree, I don't believe college offenses produce RBs like that any more.... too damned pass-happy

 

[BullRushTX]

I'm guessing the next two picks will be some combination of EDGE, LB, and RB

 

[Errant Hothy]

Logan Lee is a Steeler

 

[Porky]

Found a fresh list of guys not yet drafted. Here’s a few I like…

Matt Lee C
Julian Pearl G
Dylan Laube RB
Nelson Caesar edge
Kimani Vidal RB
Cornelius Johnson WR
Mekhi Wingo DT
Johnny Wilson WR
Brendan Rice WR
Gabe Hall edge
Leaonard Tayler DT

There’s a handful of others but those pare some guys I’d take a hard look at…

 

[Thorn]

We'll have two picks in a row, right after Atlanta picks twice in a row. How often does that happen?

And Philly picks before and after those 4 picks

Mahogany not on this list but imo BPA. Would love to add him to the interior OL competition. Mean nasty mauler in the run game! Thought of him as a 3rd rounder but NFL seems to know something and wont tell us peon armchair GMs!

 

[Errant Hothy]

Vidal just went to the Chargers

 

[Thorn]

And Philly picks before and after those 4 picks

So then it isn't the pot. I feel better now.

 

[Errant Hothy]

Miami could qualify for the 4x100 final in the Olympics. Squad of blazers

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

So what are the odds the Texans take two picks back to back in the 6th round back

50/50 offer Nick a pick next year and I bet he’d trade out of one of them in a heartbeat

Yup he was a guy I started to add to the list but thought it was getting too long, but I agree. He’d be a nice piece to add.

 

[Porky]

Would Nick take a 5th next year for one of his 6th’s?

Johnny Wilson just went. He intrigued the hell out of me. Good pick.

 

[Errant Hothy]

Johnny Wilson went to Philly, and another RB goes to Atlanta

 

[Porky]

We are up. Hell give me Laube and Nelson Caesar. But I trust these guys. Whoever it is - I’m ready for it.

Him and Rice in the 6th would sure be nice..

Traded the second one the Detroit

 

[TexansFan15]

Jamal Hill LB Oregon. We traded the other pick.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Seeing that most of my Mock’ed picks have gone sooner than expected….I wouldn’t mind seeing CB/S- Miles Battle (Utah) in a Texans uniform. Add DT- Gabe Hall (Baylor) to the mix as well.

 

[TexansFan15]

Man the FO has surprised me with some of their picks.

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

50/50 offer Nick a pick next year and I bet he’d trade out of one of them in a heartbeat

picked one and traded one to the Lions

 

[Errant Hothy]

Jamal Hill LB Oregon. We traded the other pick.

Hill has over 500 special teams snaps…damn

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

6th round Jamil Hill LB Oregon

 

[JCTexan]

#188 is... Jamal Hill

 

[TheRealJoker]

Jamal Hill LB Oregon. We traded the other pick.

Frank Ross ST pick. Former safety turned LB with 4.4 speed.

Lions trade 205 and 249th picks to the Texans for 189

First guy I haven’t put any study into so I’m flying blind. Seems like a core ST stud, and a guy that might work his way into sub packages. Maybe play that big nickel spot? At this point in the draft, I like it. Keep those special teams special!

 

[Number19]

With the DTs still on the board, we trade 189. Ryans must be OK with our depth.

What did we get for 189?

 

[Dejaview]

https://twitter.com/x/status/1784319626702180422

Not bad for a 216 pound LB

 

[Thorn]

So now we got three picks in the 7th round. Money says they won't last. Tricky Nick is at it again.

 

[Errant Hothy]

Wingo going 189 drives home the fact that I don’t think Nick and DeMeco are that worried about the DT spot

Adding those lotto tickets.

Holy hell. Athlete more than player perhaps, but I am confident DeMeco will max out that athletic ability. Don’t know the player, so this is just a snap judgement, but I love the idea of this guy. Let’s see what he can do on teams and sub packages.

Same. Pretty clear they feel differently about the DT room than the majority on this forum. Also, they brought in another vet DE Dawaune Smoot prior to the draft. Like Edwards, another vet who could bump inside.

 

[JCTexan]

Why trade back then? Just take a player at #189 if you don't plan on using those picks.

If I want to draft a developmental stud athlete to play LB then i’m sending him to DeMeco.

Just another point of view on this guy:
