We get this cat right here and the Oline is better immediately, imo. This is the type of dude this oline has been missing forever! Mean mofo, smart, give me your lunch money type of dude! Give me 3 of these types of dudes and SUPERB OWL!

That demeanor that you mentioned coincides with him being compared to Cody Mauch. His accolades read like just what we need until you get to the point where it says " put him in a Zone heavy system and watch him work. " We do not have a Zone heavy offense any longer.

Will Nick break his historical drafts and go small school?

I would draft Zabel because he's smart and will fit in any scheme. I doubt Caserio drafts him.

I think I'd rather bring Donovan Jackson home

More proven against elite competition.

Less risk picking Jackson. How would you feel about trading into the top of the 2nd rd for Zabel using 2026 picks after drafting Jackson at 1-26?

Tunsil/Jackson/Patterson/Zabel/Fisher would be a young talented, smart OL for the next 5-7 yrs and give Stroud the protection he needs to be successful.

I doubt he will either.

But if there was ever a time to draft 2 OL and 2 DT's in the 1st 4 rds of a draft this would be it. The DT/RB/TE positions are the strength of this draft, followed be the S position.

Fix the trenches with new blood.

I posted a Mock earlier today where I’ve selected:
LG- Donovan Jackson (Ohio State)
OT- Jack Nelson (Wisconsin)
DT- Jordan Phillips (Maryland)
DE- Ty Robinson (Nebraska)
SS- Jaylen Reed (Penn State)

Answers for the now and the future.

I wouldn't do it if I was Nick, but why not a trade of 25 and whatever to get the Bears 39 and 41? ZABEL at 39 and Jackson at 41.

Not sure that’s going to fly. Texans #25 is worth 720 pts. Bears #39 and #41 are valued at 510 and 490 which adds up to 1,000 pts.

For shites and kicks, tried to execute this trade on the PFN Simulator and was declined 4 different times.

Who would be there to entice the Bears to trade their 39 and 41 picks to move up to 25? This is in no way a challenge, just conversation.

Nothing

If you want to make sure you get 3 starter level players, trade into the 2nd using 3-89 and a 2026 2nd to move to the top of the 3rd

1.25 and "whatever it takes"...
Perhaps that is juice Scruggs or perhaps it is a third round pick from 2026. I have seen some of your trades before and thought they were pretty good and surprised you couldn't come up with one to meet that. Also, it does not have to be an exact point for point suggested on Drafttek.com

Nick plays the team for what they want/need as he did Cleveland who desperately needed a quarterback.

And yet we know that on some he is such as tankathon 2.48. Now we all know that can go up and down as the off-season progresses and most mocks end up getting it wrong.

Yeah, Jackson isn't falling to 2-48 and Arroyo isn't falling to 4-115 as some of these site have their simulators saying.

I’m not sure Scruggs moves the needle. The Bears big need is LT. Maybe Caserio offers up Tunsil (est RD1-16 Value) and their 2026 RD1 for the Bears 10 & 41 picks.

Could get the job done.

Texans pick:
010: LT- Kelvin Banks Jr (Texas)
025: WR- Emeka Egbuka (Ohio State)
041: LG- Donovan Jackson (Ohio State)
058: WR- Isaiah Bond (Texas)
089: DT- Omar Norman-Lott (Tennessee)
127: RB- Dylan Sampson (Tennessee)
167: DE- Ty Robinson (Nebraska)
243: SS- De’Rickey Wright (Vanderbilt)

Trenches and pure speed addressed.

Off-loading Tunsil via trade and Howard/Mason via the post June 1st cut route, should put the Texans at roughly 44M in (+-37M / +7M) new cap space, I could quickly justify signing LT- Alaric Jackson to fill the Tunsil void while Banks and D Jackson compete for the starting spots on the OL.
