Florida edges out Texas for most NFL players on Week 1 rosters

Forget about using what little firepower the Texans have in Draft picks on Olinemen, because what we need is defense, what we need in the worst way, is defensive football players.

We can get a WR/ corner and a OG/C in our first three picks. Free agency should offer some options however with salary cap possibly being more in line with my view of $200m rather than 175, that may not be as fruitful as many have predicted. I'm looking at Fuller more as bringing us a 3rd comp than extending him. His 11 games of good stats should bring that if we don't negate with a FA signing = to him. I could use another round three.

I am already researching for a new mock.

If we lose Fuller and it does bring a 3rd rnd comp pick, it won't be until 2022
 
As I mentioned in an older post....don't worry about where this season positions the Dolphins in the 2021 NFL Draft. My biggest concern is where the Texans position themselves starting in RD3 and after of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Sure I would've enjoyed watching the Texans win out and maybe get into the playoffs but in all reality, they're not a playoff caliber team and would've only made a bad situation worse by picking further back in RD3. This team needs a bad 2021 NFL Draft to really work out on the positive side of the ledger.

I agree. I hate losing, but we need to lose out to ensure everyone gets fired and we get a high pick in round 3.
 
Many of the players currently on this team will likely be gone within the next two years. The future of this franchise is Watson and a bunch of players playing football somewhere else right now. That is how I’m looking at things at the moment.

Every loss this season only sets them up better for the future. Nobody likes to think that way but that’s the reality of the situation.

I really enjoy watching a hungry young team. Y’all (I didn’t see the whole game) got to see some of that yesterday in Coutee and Hansen. Good energy.

They played the Titans & the Colts to the wire. If those two are play off teams, we're a playoff team.

But... even I have given up on playoff hopes. 8-8 is not going to get it this year.

I've never agreed with this. Once you get used to losing, it's a long road back. If the front office guys are ok with losing out, you're looking at 10 years, not 3 or 4.

The good thing about this season....when it's over everyone is gone from the FO. In my estimation, if the Texans want to correct their cap....about 12 starters need to be traded or cut in the off-season. So all this current round of losing will be exiting at seasons end. 2021 will be a new chapter and it'll be up to the FO, coaches and players to determine how the first chapter starts.

For the most part Texans have been an 8 - 8 team. When they played teams above .500, they usually got out coached.

I was in this boat as well.

There are only 2 situations that I'm for tanking.

1. You need a QB, (Suck for Luck)
2. There's a new regime (Because there will be new players and winning doesn't really matter as far as setting a culture.)

Culture is a top down thing. Has to start with Cal. Like you said, until Cal wants to win a Super Bowl, we ain't winning no Super Bowl.

You don't agree, but I think Kubiak's whole tenure was spent convincing these yahoos we could win. From the owner, GM, Cap guy, character coach to the towel boy. They have to believe they can win before they start acting like they can win..

let us not rush too quickly concerning the salary cap as recent information shows the cap may be closer to 200 million than 175. That does not include players who could be traded or cut adding cap space.

Apparently, it wasn't just OB - this entire organization has a problem with letting young guys play. I thought, Hansen especially, earned the right to see more playing time. Hopefully this is just roster shenanigans and they are brought back?

Well, right now they really have no choice but to play a young guy. It's got to be either Hansen or Coulter. I've seen them bring Prosise up and down like that before. I don't know why they have to do it like that, but if nothing changes this week, I'd expect Hansen to be activated again for the Bears.

As it currently stands, the Miami Dolphins own the 9th overall pick in the 2021 draft from the Texans.

Reactions to the post above - anger, sadness, and laughter. I wonder what the reaction will be now that I write this...

As it currently stands, the Miami Dolphins own the 6th overall pick in the 2021 draft from the Texans. Miami can jump up all the way to the 4th spot if the Texans lose out and Carolina and Atlanta win one of their remaining two games.

My guess is, Miami will do no better than finish with the Texans's #6 overall pick. The Falcons play the Chiefs and Bucs while the Panthers finish with Washington and Saints.

Great times when the most intriguing thing going for our team to the end the regular season is to see what picks they'll be giving away in the upcoming draft.

Hopefully, this finally convinces the remaining Texans fanbase that signing over-the-hill has-beens is a stupid idea. Not like we really needed to learn that lesson yet again.

To be fair to stills, he was playing when our whole recieving core was healthy and available.

True, but that doesn’t change the fact that they traded away a 2nd for a guy making 1 catch per game, or that they went and spent $9M per for Cobb. Or the 2nd and the huge money for Cooks for that matter when you figure Hansen is on a pace for over 1,100 yards with Cooks at about 1,030 yard pace at the moment.

As we continue to dig out of this mess and we’re constantly reminded how bad it is at just about every position (and coaching) on this team I can only continue to direct my disdain, dismay and anger directly at ownership.

How does anyone as an NFL owner(s) become so absentee, so gullible, so trusting and just hand the keys to someone like BOB and JE?? How do you let someone wreck your franchise into the ground and you stand by idle until you’re FORCED to make a move. I fear that those characteristics I listed above will still be there. My god they better get the GM right. This can never happen again but with this ownership....

Momma was behind the Hopkins trade. So maybe they aren't as hands off as you think. I've been saying this since 2010. Some called me crazy back then and are just starting to see the light.

Janice was responsible? Wasn't it reported last year or the year before that OB wanted to trade Hopkins but Gaine shot it down?

People change. There was a time when BO'b was hands off.

But the GM always reported to him. The HC always reported to him. He didn't do a good job managing that relationship & I believe was the biggest failure of Texans history. He seemed to feed the animosity that ended up playing out on the field & ruining that product.

People may somewhat change.

The way they do business rarely changes.
