our own round one will get us a QB in 2023. The 28-32 not so much a great pick. I really like where we are at 3 & 13

Me too and just two good ones will transform our Oline - especially at LG and RT.

Nope for me 2022 make it or break it for Mills.

Tackles maybe although Penning and perhaps Cross should be 13 but OGs there much later.
Dline: several options day two.
badboy

Yes! #3 has to be an outstanding day 1 guy.

This league source could likely be the Chronicle's Brooks Kubena. He's projecting, in this mornings Chronicle, that Houston trades up with Seattle to select Stingley at #9, after taking Ekwonu at #3.

29 + 13 for 5 interests me if 1) Hutch not there 2) Jets do not take Sauce or trade to someone who does. It just doesn't feel like enough.

Why? You keep shuffling quarterbacks in and out every other year just makes the process much longer. And it’s not like we’re some youngsters on here.

It is actually a little more value for Giants on the chart.
Don't forget the KC first next year as well - yes it's likely in the 30s, but still a good trade chip.

I couldn't find that one, don't see how Hamilton isn't 1st safety picked.
Malik Willis is +5000 for pick 7. I think that is who the Saints will target and they have to likely jump the Falcons to get him by trading 16 and 19 for 7.

It's looking like some teams have a very high grade on Willis. Someone said he's the best they've seen since Young.
We could see some movement very early for him.

would NYG take 13 {1150} + 68 {250}+ 107 {80} = 1480 for 7 {1500}?

especially if said teams bring oodles in a gift bag to car sterio.

I ain't worried about me at 72 and if we don't know by game 17 if Mills is the future we should fire HC, OC and QB coach.
I'm OK if Caserio drafts defense in the 1st.
If they dont pick Neal then I'm hoping for Jermaine Johnson to be the pick at 1-3. If he falls to 1-13 then that will be a steal.

This draft is an exciting one for Texans fans.
So many options open for them.

Not likely. Teams moving up need to pay some profit to the vendor - especially if Giants are dead set on someone at #7.

I hope they do move up to get their guy inside the top 10. Its been awhile since the Texans made a splash on draft day. With as much uncertainty in the first round this year I want them to get a shot at their pick according to their boards.

There sure is a lot of chatter today that Hutchinson could fall to the Texans. Jags go with Walker and Detroit surprises by taking Thibodeaux.
610 had some comments from a coach, who compared Hutchinson to J.J. Watt.

Probably close to a worst-case scenario, taking an OG at #3 and trading up and wasting high dollar draft capital for a crippled CB.

You best prepare yourself mentally right now, man.
I think they are going to get Stingley in some capacity.

enticing but i would probably say no at this time. Now if Sauce gone...better odds for me to say yes

If we try to move down from 13 it'll cost us one of next years 1st round picks. Not worth it!
badboy

please, please. Walker to Jags. Hutch to Houston and if lucky Sauce at 13.

I believe I heard sometime this past week that Lovie has never drafted a CB in the 1st round and has drafted a Safety in the 1st only once.
Jack Burton

Bro, I’m not telling you what I want.
I’m telling you what I think HOU wants.
I think they have a player they know or are pretty sure they are getting at 3 and they also want either Stingley or a WR that they know they have to trade up to get.
Jack Burton

Yeah, but did he have 2 high 1sts in a total rebuild?
badboy

yeah but sources indicate Giants want to trade out.. profit to the buyer

How so?

I think he meant "move/trade up".

I’m not feeling good about the Texans taking Stingley and Wilson. If Hutchison drops to 3, just take him.

That's what I am hearing also and posted the link to one of those in Nystrum. Hutch to Watt was comparison during the season as he played.

There's got to be fire with this smoke. For days now, two names keep popping up as being VERY high on the Texans board - Stingley and Wilson. CB and WR. Two highly needed skill type positions. I'm more of a build inside out type, but I'd be happy with those guys overall. Granted....I am worried about Stingley but I'm not a Dr. I don't even play one on TV. If they draft the guy at #3, you can be sure he's been poked and prodded more times than a hooker on a Saturday night. I will still be concerned but hope for the best.
It wouldn't completely shock me if they found a way to draft both. I think these are their top targets.
The fly in the ointment is Detroit. If Hutch is there, I do believe they take Hutch. I still don't buy it personally. I think Detroit takes Hutch, but if they are that stupid and pass, it would take me exactly 2 seconds to put Hutch's name on a card and turn it in.

I had a chance to rewatch like 8 condensed games from the 2019 season. The oline was effective because of 2 things, Hopkins forcing safety help and the rbs. Hyde and Johnson played well, in particular Hyde. He ran through and broke a fair amount of tackles and leaned forward for positive yards. The Hopkins effect was safety over the top or lb brackets underneath so it was always a light box. The oline and the non ability to run the ball is more on the rbs in my opinion.

I think he is interested {barring unbelievable offer} to keep 3, trade down 13 and trade up other rounds as offers come in. He got 5.170 for a 6th and 7th.. the two threes and fours get him into bottom of round two for two players. Also all four could get into end of round one if someone needs additional picks. Say Chiefs if they are trading up from one of their round ones?
This is corny as hell, but my goodness I wish my team was having this much fun..

how did you come up with it costing a future round one? Doesn't make sense to me.

Mills showed us he was the guy during the last 4-5 games. The kid has potential, so it would be best for the Texans to build around him.

using your post, we need Treylon Burks and Breece Hall. although not outstanding at receiving targets Walker broke many tackles running leading league IIRC.

I say Mills showed he could be guy in last 4-5 games but at the end of this season it has to be an overwhelming fact not a "well he looked better than expected so maybe in one more year..". We cannot wait that long. We should have a top 3 draft pick in 2023 even if Mill progresses as I hope so I don't want to play around hoping he's franchise. Either Pep is the guy to make Mills successful as he has others or he needs to go.
