Texans random thought of the day

Patrick Starr in still in the ICU. However, his father who was in the car unfortunately did not make it.

Prayers to Patrick and his family.
Can somebody please PM me with what exactly had happened? I had no idea something bad even happened to him. Patrick Starr is somebody I'd follow with a lot of joy. He's as passionate about sports as I am. I had always looked up to him as a bit of a role model and father figure.

Let's see which big moves the Texans make this off-season. It's good to see J.J. Watt and Deshaun Watson both making excellent progress. It seems like both are on schedule to return Week 1. In fact, Watson may participate in the early off-season programs.
 
Breakfast: Top 5 OL in the Harris 100
Posted 03/07/18

The 2018 NFL Draft is fast approaching.

The Texans have eight picks, including three in the third, one in the fourth, three in the sixth, one in the seventh, and will use those selections to improve and fortify the roster.

Texans analyst (and football genius) John Harris recently unvelieved his annual Harris 100, which ranks the top 100 college prospects. Will any of the players listed join the team in Houston come April?

Click here to view the full scouting reports for the top 100 prospects, and check out John Harris' top 5 offensive linemen (and where they stand in the 100) with his notes below.

1. (1) - Quenton Nelson, Guard, Notre Dame

Early Entry - Overall
Total dude. Has power, quickness, smarts, you name it, Nelson has it. Never seen people post videos of offensive linemen on Twitter until Nelson. Never seen a college lineman hold off 300 pound pass rushers with long arm stab move, in reverse, and he will finish a defender in a quick minute. He stays on his feet, very rarely on the ground and reaches 3-techniques with ease. He can be a little slow to react to delay blitz/add on blitz. He has a wide base, but feet do freeze from strong bull rush or advance. Suffice to say, he's got a strong upper body, but he does lose the leverage battle against shorter defensive tackles but his strength helps make up for it. I can hear his hands and punch through the computer screen when watching his tape. Perhaps the best guard prospect that I can remember studying (Alan Faneca and Steve Hutchinson were players that remind me most of Nelson).

2. (20) - Will Hernandez, Guard, UTEP

Senior Bowl
Without question, Hernandez was the best lineman at the Senior Bowl and perhaps the best guard I've seen in my five years of going to Mobile. He was clearly head and shoulders above every other lineman. He stepped up on the scale at 340 pounds and there didn't seem to be an ounce of fat on him. I stood next to him out on the field and he was a brick house. Consequently, he handled anyone and everyone that tried to rush in pass rush one-on-ones. He lost maybe three times when I was watching and that was about it. He came to Mobile to to make a point, seemingly, and he did just that.

Overall

Massive hands and punch and is strong as an ox in his upper body. His feet are not slow at all, which is the first assumption for a guy 340 pounds. He wants to bury defenders at the point of attack and pops/pulls with the quickness. When he's latched on, it's over. Will still get overextended against some quick interior defensive linemen getting up the field.

3. (28) - Isaiah Wynn, Guard, Georgia

Senior Bowl
I can't even imagine the pain that Wynn was in at the Senior Bowl. Day in and day out during pass rush one-on-ones, Wynn was a star at left guard. Then, on Thursday, just after one-on-ones finished, I could see a pained look on his face and wondered what happened. Come to find out, he had been playing, since late November too, with a torn labrum that was going to need surgery after the Senior Bowl. He projects to back for camp, but he did enough during the season and at the Senior Bowl, in particular, to win me over. He slid with quick rushers, held his ground against power rushers. Coaching staff really liked his demeanor and execution and I heard him get plenty of "attaboys" throughout the week.

Overall

Length is impressive. Played left tackle for Georgia the past two seasons. When he's at guard, from a physical standpoint, he fits - loves to drop some hat and generates some intense car crash collisions at the 1st/2nd level. The more I watch, the more impressed I am with his athleticism. He still needs works on head and hand placement and needs better initial punch in pass protection. His conditioning can wane and the fatigue shows in his stance, get off and punch. Really opened my eyes with how well he performed at the Senior Bowl. Even though his career was spent at tackle and it does add versatility to his game, he's best served to play guard in the future and he'll excel there in due time.

4. (30) - Connor Williams, Tackle, Texas

Early Entry - Overall
Only played in a couple of games in 2017 due to a knee injury that cost him most of the season and chose not to participate in the 2017 Texas Bowl against Missouri. Plays every single play as if he's trying to destroy every single bully that ever embarrassed him as a young man. Was lighter in 2016 than he played. It was clear that he was nowhere near 100% in his final two games for Texas, laterally he struggled allowing rushers to get in an advantageous position upfield. He is strong enough to push rushers upfield past the quarterback and brings some pop in the run game. Panics a bit when he gets some speed on the edge. He tends to stay in front, but overextends to maintain contact.

5. (35) - Orlando Brown Jr., Tackle, Oklahoma

Early Entry - Overall
Okay, let me be clear on Brown, he's not going to look pretty. He's slow moving up and down the line of scrimmage. My first reaction on him was not a great one, but the more that I watched, I more I realized no one was beating him to the quarterback. Also, he just swallowed pass rushers up with that length. He's ruggedly tough, not a huge fan of his footwork, but his upper body is strong as all get out. He can be slow with his hands and punch, but with that all said, dudes don't often find their way around him to the quarterback. That length and DNA will be his calling cards. To be a top tackle in the NFL in the future, his footwork must improve, and if/when it does, he has a chance to be really good. He's not a dancing bear like former Oklahoma star tackle Trent Williams, but he's more like an awkward Ivan Drago keep Apollo Creed out of his kitchen in that infamous fight in 1987 - awkward but effective as can be. Speed will giv
 
Orlando has been widely criticized for his performance at the Combine so, he's likely to drop drastically and the reason I mention that is because IF he falls enough.. I say snag em and let our motivating players and coaches reignite his fire.

It's says brown's upper body is "strong as all get out", but he literally did less reps on bench than a lot of defensive backs. One of the worst combines in history from a projected first rounder.
 
If Orlando Brown (OK) falls to RD3-04.....the Texans select, OT, Orlando Brown, Oklahoma. He was dominant all season long, then had a bad Combine. He was so dominant, everyone projected him as a RD1 lock until the Combine.

He didn't become a overnight failure b/c he didn't pop 225 lbs for enough reps or ran a slow 40. Those are independent drills done in underwear...the NFL requires a certified uniform when playing the game. If his Pro Day is a little better, I'd be ok with that. Season's of game tapes shouldn't get tossed based on a reality talent show but if other teams want to use this as an excuse to drop his stock...so be it, right on down to number 68.

I'm still pushing for the Solder signing, Davenport backing him up at LT and then I would immediately plug Big Bad Orlando Brown in as the new fixture at RT where his size and speed or lack thereof could be an easier option than plugging him in on the left side.

FWIW, Brown's best friend and nutritional guide/trainer has said that "The mere suggestion he'll play the less glamorous right tackle as a pro "drives Orlando crazy."
 
Measurables are highly overrated, but I mean c'mon, do you really want one of slowest and weakest offensive tackles in the draft to be blocking watsons blindside against NFL pass rushers? With that being said, I'd still take a chance on him in the fourth and hope he can build his strength up once he gets here.
 
So this guy is now maybe the largest prima donna in history.

Nope, he just thinks he can play LT in the NFL. Probably because he allowed 0 sacks in college last yr. I hope he's right but his feet look to slow for him to play LT in the NFL to me. Of course his dad had the same exact build and was a good LT, so I could be wrong.

Personally I wouldn't pick him before the 6th rd. A good rd to take chances on a guy like Brown. If Gaine picked Brown in the 4th I wouldn't blame him but that would be too rich for my blood. In the 4th I would rather take a chance on a guy like Griffin, or Richardson.
 
He lacks athleticism, work ethic, and commitment .... wonderlic probably somewhere in the range of Vince Young.
 
Brown has never been committed to the weight room. In high school, his coach thought he would be an utter failure as he did squats with the 45 pound bar.............without any plates.
 
You wonder about Brown. His father spent his rookie year on IR. During that time, he was determined to be converted from a DL to an OT. He watched lots of film on the top OTs, listened to his coaches on how they got "there".............and made the gym his home...........benching 690 pounds.

I guess that's how you earn the nickname Zuess.
 
The information is useful but his game film tells another story. Every analyst in the game had him pegged as a RD1 prospect....b/c of his game film. Their opinions changed after his Combine performance where it's a running, jumping and lifting show in your underwear and he didn't excel. His Pro Day may show another picture but I would be satisfied if every team is so down on him that he falls right into the 3rd round.

If he dominated that much in college with little to no weight room strength, imagine what he could do with a couple of seasons under the guidance of new the S&C / Nutritional Coaches. He might enjoy that same growth in strength that his dad did when he got into the NFL.

Having 2 physically imposing athletes with their type of wingspans manning the OT spots by 2019 or 2020...it might give the Texans a real shot at fielding one of the best OL's in the NFL.
 
Ted Johnson did a Ted Talk on 610 am for Orlando brown yesterday. Basically he said the guy got away with a lot in college due to his size and Mayfield’s escapability in the pocket.

Brown wasn’t just crushing guys but moreso engulfing them due to his size. When the competition went up he had issues where his lack of athleticism was magnified (Ohio State game was used as an example).

All in all it’s a 3rd round pick and due to his size/experience might as well take a shot on him if he falls... but don’t expect a pro bowler.

Agree. The Texans would have their LT spot locked up if Solder is signed and Davenport continues his development. Brown would strictly be a RT in my book. He may have a passion for the LT spot but when he gets his first taste of facing NFL DE's and OLB'ers....he'll probably thank his lucky stars that -if it were the Texans- they shifted him to RT.

In the event...both Noteboom and Brown were on the board when it's time for the 68th pick, I'd probably go Noteboom who will probably prove to be the surer option at RT.

Can you imagine what JJ, JDC and Merci would do to him in TC? He'd probably be medically retired by the end of it.

Everybody needs to take a deep breathe and understand that the Texans may not, I repeat, may not land Nat Solder to play LT for them this year.
He could retire, remain in NE even if it's materially less money, or accept a more attractive bid from another team. We've also learned that he has a young child with extremely serious health issues which obviously will be a huge factor in his decision process.
Bottom line is - what is GM Gains Plan B if he's unable to secure Solder as the LT for the Texans in 2018 ?

Concur...sort of getting excited about counting the ol' eggs before they hatch. But, if he's going to move on, then the Texans have to get aggressive and land this answer at LT.

Nuk Hopkins is already recruiting Richard Sherman.

LOB is coming to Houston?

If we acquire Earl Thomas and sign Richard Sherman.

Oh my goodness. This could be very interesting guys!

well where's the fun and excitement in that? We don't have a clue what plan A is for Gaine so how could we know what his plan B is? We are posting "our" plan A and I have a plan B and C.
 
Smells of the Ed Reed signing

Agreed. Too many injury questions with the double achilles surgeries and the dreaded 30 year old bday for a CB. Plus there are plenty of CBs entering their prime in this year’s FA class that you can probably get cheaper than Sherman’s name value will command.

well thanks for compliment but to be honest when I read your post I spit mashed potatoes everywhere. I'm more of a hopeful guy. I think most who have read my posts over the years realize I often if not most of time attempt to put info onto MB for others, hoping to stir conversation. I try to read every post in response to mine as those encourage me to rethink or consider my POV. Sometimes I post something that is not what I think just to get feedback. .

Cameron Fleming, OT, New England Patriots

Regardless of who was playing quarterback or lining up in the backfield this past season for Bill O’Brien’s team, the Houston Texans’ attack was somewhat stifled by an offensive line riddled with issues. The club ran for a respectable 115.1 yards per game but only the Indianapolis Colts (56) surrendered more sacks (54) than this club. It started in Week 1 when O’Brien’s squad gave up 10 quarterback traps in a 29-7 home loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The club needs some help at the tackle spots in the worst way. Both Chris Clark and Breno Giacomini — the latter a 16-game starter this past season — can hit the free-agent market. Veteran right tackle Derek Newton hasn’t seen the field since 2016 when he was injured in a loss to the Denver Broncos and his future remains uncertain. As for the left side, 2017 fourth-round pick Julie’n Davenport made four starts, including the team’s final two games. There’s also Kendall Lamm, who has made a total of 11 starts in three seasons with the Texans.

Houston has no first- or second-round selection in April’s draft. A four-year pro such as New England Patriots’ tackle Cameron Fleming could offer some solutions. He’s seen action at both tackles spots, as well as right guard. And it’s worth noting that the Texans also have a free-agent decision to make on Xavier Su’a-Filo.
 
PFT reports that Suh will visit the Tennessee Titans.....

Good Lawd, NO!!! All I can see is that jack ass falling on Watson's foot and breaking it....a la Fat Albert and Schaub. Go away SUH!!
 
At what point do you offer a player more money so that he doesn’t go to a division rival when you have the money and could use the player?

If they got Suh I would run a 4-3 and play Suh/Reader at DT with Clowney/Mercilus at DE, with Watt rushing the passer 15- 20 plays a game.
 
Well utilized resources there.

Building a great defense by adding Suh/Boston/Gaines is a bad thing? There really isn't anything out there to help the offense, so build a great defense and draft offense.

The good thing is you have Suh hurting Mariotta instead of Watson.

The $$$$ is there to build a championship level defense.
 
Building a great defense by adding Suh/Boston/Gaines is a bad thing?

Playing Watt 15-20 snaps is a stupid thing. How many ways is this bad. Lets get he'll take it as an insult out of the way. You dont pay his contract for 15-20 plays. JJ is not a speed rusher you can unleash a few plays a game. Much of his game is set ups - jack the mouse twice this way, and then once the other, another again, (does he think back?), another again... He gets inside people's heads as much as he dominates. Can't do that with an here comes JJ flag.

I happen to also be in the unabashed minority that Clowney's NFL career has him, and the Texans, best served at OLB.

Apparently you have a much better outlook on his health than I do.

Playing Watt like this you might have him healthy for a playoff run. If you play him regular snaps, there's no way he will make it thru the season. IMHO

So, given where the Texans are right now talentwise, where would you spend the 50 mil they have in cap space?

Spare me the "no way" health comments. Even Doc can't make that swami level prediction.

It's not just about needs. It's about what's in the market.

Honey Badger obviously. Reid.

Tyrrelle Pryor

LaGaroutte Blount

Justin Pugh

Sheldon Richardson

Good to see the players you like.

Off of that list give me Honey/Pryor/Richardson. you would still be an elite defense. Even if Watt gets hurt again. The reason I want Gaines more than some of the guys you listed is 1. He played at an all pro level lasy yr. 2. You can never have to many CB's.

I'm enjoying the player talk.

Didn't realize Blount was FA. Texans could use him for his attitude and hard nosed style of play. Dude leaves it on the field
