Agreed, but if we’re allocating resources I don’t see a huge difference between Kyzir and To’o To’o. Especially considering Henry’s progress year 1 to year 2. Rookie contract LB that’s improving is the asset I want. And if i’m bringing someone in they have to be a dynamic playmaker (expensive) or a draft pick that hopefully develops into said dynamic playmaker.
I don't see that in this draft class unless it's Jihaad Campbell
I'll trust in DeMeco
If Campbell falls to the top of the 2nd rd, would you trade up for him, knowing you would miss out on the IOL like Milum/MBow/Ratlege etc....
More than likely, but would really depend on 1st pick and who was available. Texans may consider having to double up as they did in 2023 1st
They're poor in coverage because they're nosey and want to tackle people. They miss their landmarks consistently in zone and neither are fast. Copy and paste for Pitre also. The Texans have never had good coverage lbs. Anyone remember how Gates did Texans lbs in his 1st start?
This is why Kiser would be a great pick at 3-89.
And it's not like they need to be a top offense. If they get to a bottom-of-the-middle tier of offenses in the league, with a little luck, the sky is the limit with this team. Clearly, the offense isn't going to be as flashy as we would like it. I think a blueprint would be a BAL/NE/SF approach to football, being: don't turn the ball over, move the chains and rely on your defense to make plays and stops.
Who knows?
Love your optimism but as I see it, Nico should be the same. Christian should be equal to or slightly better than Tank Dell . Metchie and Hutchinson will be about the same if we are lucky. Who else is there? Mixon should be the same and our backups will be approximately the same. Our left Tackle play should be slightly less but the rest of the line should be at minimum slightly better. Tight end is the question for me and I hope that Nick II can put Schultz back into 2023 pre-extension mode.
I am squinting, really squinting! And all I see is your last sentence.
I think it is clear that Caserio is fully committed to fixing the Offensive Line. Therefore, I expect continued, relentless efforts in September and October from Caserio if it isn't coming together. This is part of why I feel so confident about the line: Caserio's determination, commitment, and exposure (it is all on him if the OLine tanks).
I can see Caserio trading up for Banks using 2026 draft picks and drafting Taylor/Kyle Williams in rds 2-3. This would help the offense out tremendously.
I like Kiser despite the physical limitations. I like Campbell too if you can continue to improve his read and react. The Texans are always going to have an issue defensively with 0 and Pitre on the field at the same time. Neither can really run and both are looking in the backfield too much. Passing downs, neither should be on the field.
This is the problem that Caserio has created for himself.
Unrealistic expectations in some cases.

This would also jive with what Nick said at this presser about "there are different ways to add talent--not just through the draft" so I would think it was likely.
What about we invite some UFL offensive linemen onto our training camp. They wouldn't automatically be given a job but with competition anything is possible. I realize the NFL for the most part calls up UFL players as camp bodies with no real chance of making a team but if they were smart they would invite some players of need to their training camp and see if they could make our team and at least add some depth. Maybe there is a star in the making.
Interesting pick up. 2023 fourth round pick. Didn't play last year because of a torn meniscus. Worth kicking the tires.
Welcome Jake Andrews, who's played for Popovich before.
