Or Savage and Weeden could have both failed miserably. We have no idea based upon what they've shown to date. In fact, there's at least a 50/50 chance neither is in the league by 2018 and beyond. Weeden is the textbook definition of a journeyman QB and Savage is a 27 year old project (still). To have ignored the QB position this offseason would have been both idiotic and negligent.
I disagree. While the QB position appears good for 2018 at least two and perhaps three would be gone by Texans pre-Browns trade. I would rather have Watson with a year on Texans roster than any QB at 25ish. Don't forget there was concern over Ramczyk's injury. Regardless of how Savage and Watson do, I still draft Mike White W. Kentucky in 2018 third round and also Okorafor LT with the other third. James Madison's Aaron Stinne LT looks interesting in 5th. It is also evident that Texans do not agree with you on the Oline.
Be a bit more specific. LT Brown still considered very good. X although not what anyone expected has gotten better and not missed many snaps, Manz UDFA started, Nick Martin injured but was supposed to be the starter appears healthy. What was knee jerk about signing Jeff Allen who was thought to be a good FA left tackle who played hurt and out of position? A knee jerk would not have been waiting until picking an OT in 4th.
They did not sign Clark to start that happened only when Newton kamikasied himself so how is that knee jerk. Going after Os who was thought by many to be a top FA was not knee jerk and neither was JJ at TE. Watt said after that team had practiced that.
As JB posted above folks disagree on things. Premium talent is not gone by round three and we are just going back & forth on value of Watson. We will not know until he actually plays. We might not even need a RT if Lamm or Davenport is successful.
This doesn't make sense. Newton was our starter, not Clark. Clark was our swing tackle, and if I remember correctly, most evaluations on this forum said he was adequate in this role. If you are projecting Clark as our starter for the 2017, we haven't even gone into training camp. Just because Clark was our starter after Newton's injury, don't pencil him in as the starter for 2017. If he can stay healthy, which remains to be seen, Giacomini may win the starting role.
yes they did...see how this goes?
When this year turns out to be great.
The evaluations I've seen says, when healthy, he has been "solid". As a short term solution over last season, I'll take "solid". The fact that he's started 70 of the 78 games he's appeared in, over his 10 year career, supports this evaluation. If healthy, he has a good chance of starting and should be an improvement at the position.

but others on here can say the same. It is just opinion . and part of what makes this fun and interesting.
So if it isn't to your or KDogs satisfaction the Texans will never be successful?
The Texans are trying to complete. They aren't going to waste a season looking to draft a QB (maybe) a year later. That's wasting a year of Watt. A year of Clowney. A year of Hopkins. A year of Bob McNair, who has to understand that nothing's promised.
I think the hope is that Foreman who has history of long runs + ability to get past LBs and DBs will get into end zone. Hopefully, Miller with few carries will also score from inside 20 but you have a good point. We need someone who can get ball into end zone within 10 whether that is a back, TE or WR. This was a complaint I had about Andre Johnson.
