The Official Houston Texans Draft Days Discussion Thread

[Jack Burton]

Lol no he isn’t.

I think they see Stingley has a bigger upside in terms of becoming a true shut down corner and they think Sauce has hit his peak going into becoming a pro.
So much of this is projection.

 

[sometexansfan]

Because the draft is in Vegas and Nick has a gambling problem.

Breathe.

I'll give it a chance.

Paging doctor @CloakNNNdagger. Your avatar is now lit up in the clouds like the bat symbol.

We need you.

I'm waiting for him to tell us that Stingley's foot is gonna fall off.

 

[steelbtexan]

Well if he turns out to be Deion, GREAT! but he hasn't played like it in two years.

This doesn't worry me.

Health is the only thing that worries me.

 

[Texian]

Sauce is next and probably should've been Texans pick.

[mussop]

Jets get Special sauce and we get damaged outdated meat.

 

[frethack]

Lol no he isn’t.

Hes longer...meant that his frame is thin

Yeah,best ability is availability. All we can do is wait and see

That's what she said?

 

[Texian]

When he has to make a hard sharp cut to cover will his foot respond? I'm doubtful

 

[Texian]

Maybe Cross will fall to #13.

 

[badboy]

The athletic guys said Stingley not a fit in Lovie's cover 2. If he is outlier and plays 10 years without foot reducing him, great choice....

 

[steelbtexan]

Well, now I believe they'll do the unthinkable and burn a valuable pick to move up in the top 10 to draft a WR. That's the other rumor.

I don't think Stingley was a Lovie pick. A compromise, maybe but I don't think Stingley fits this defense.

If healthy Stingley fits any defense.

 

[mussop]

Your complaining about a guy who ran a 4.37 40 at LSU Pro Day and both Neal And Ikey have injury/health concerns.

no they don’t and we’re talking about a CB with a linsfranc injury. Do you not understand what that means?

 

[amazing80]

I think Stingley fits the D and to be fair Nick and Lovie have a great track record of drafting DBs throughout their careers, but I am more concerned that they ignored our need in both trenches. I think OL is a glaring need. I hope someone good is there in a few picks

 

[badboy]

If not, Id suggest to the Texans that cloak replaces the whole medical staff

That has been suggested years ago. LOL

 

[Señor Stan]

Swinging for the fences for sure. IF healthy…

 

[Texian]

Hopefully taking Stingley will put an end to the talk of trading up into the top 10.

 

[thunderkyss]

I’m thoroughly convinced everyone of you will be extremely upset Thursday night.

even Texian who is expecting fubar is going to be steaming mad. He won’t admit it until Saturday, but believe me. His anger will be deeply rooted in Thursday night.

If you’re not upset yet, wait on it.

 

[mussop]

Keep drafting defense Other teams. We need OL to fall.

 

[TheRealJoker]

All defensive players first five picks. The OL run has not started yet. If Texans can still land Neal or Ekwonu i’ll just act like they were picked in reverse and everything went as expected :p

 

[badboy]

Thibs to Giants is good for Houston pushing down

 

[Thorn]

If you’re not upset yet, wait on it.

I'm already upset, I don't need to wait.

 

[Lucky]

Smart move by Giants. Can still get an OT in 2 picks.

 

[The1ApplePie]

Solid pick. Would rather have Sauce, but Stingley is great too.

 

[thunderkyss]

The drat isn’t over. What if the next two picks are OL?

Picking a guard at 13 & 37 makes a lot more sense for the Texans than taking a tackle at 3.

 

[steelbtexan]

Sauce is next and probably should've been Texans pick.

You can thank Lovie.

 

[mussop]

I wanted to take a safer pick but now I’m officially a Stingley fan. Gid I hope our medical team knows what they’re doing.

 

[Texansballer74]

I’m on board with Stingley but dang it we should’ve went with Sauce the healthier of the two.

 

[thunderkyss]

You can thank Lovie.

No… this is definitely “smartest guy in the room” drafting. That’s Nick.

 

[Texansphan]

The rumors were correct.

There were several rumors.

 

[badboy]

Less we forget, Derek also had a sprained ankle in 2020 and a non-covid disease.

 

[frethack]

No… this is definitely “smartest guy in the room” drafting. That’s Nick.

Let's hope he is truly the smartest guy in the room

Panthers have chance to get their QB now

 

[steelbtexan]

Good to see you back man

 

[Porky]

Stupid pick. Even if he lives up to the hype it’s a stupid pick in the moment given what is known.

You don’t take big unnecessary risks at #3 unless said player is a generational talent and the jury is out on Stingley on that count.

Is he 2019 Stingley and fully healthy with a long career ahead of him free of foot issues? That’s basically what Nick is banking on. If he is, Nick will come out of this smelling like a rose and we have a lockdown corner.

If this a more talented, more hyped Kevin Johnson II who can’t stay healthy while sauce is balling out with the Jets he should be fired, point blank.

it’s very ballsy, but ballsy isn’t always best.

 

[banned1976]

Maybe, but he also might have the lowest floor of anyone that will be drafted tonight. Shut-down corner or out of the league in three years. I don't think it was wise to gamble the 3rd overall pick on someone like that.

 

[powda]

"We're gonna need a bigger boat."


It's a Lil dated and nearly 50 years old now.


"We're gonna need more beer" seems more appropriate. Fall ol, fall. C'mon.

 

[mussop]

Less we forget, Derek also had a sprained ankle in 2020 and a non-covid disease.

Hopefully that held him back and he is still the player he was in 2019. If so GREAT pick.

 

[Dejaview]

You can thank Lovie.

Our CB’s have sucked for so long people are forgetting what a lockdown corner can do for the pass rush.

 

[powda]

Ol gone at 6. F.

 

[dream_team]

I'm glad Hutchinson went #2, because the rumors they were going to pick Stingley even over Hutch may have been true. This board would have been on fire.

 

[badboy]

Hopefully that held him back and he is still the player he was in 2019. If so GREAT pick.

yeah and here I go trying to re-direct my disappointment to optimism on Texans draft.

 

[Texian]

Was hoping Carolina would go QB.

 

[mussop]

I’m glad we didn’t draft Ekwanu. That suit is hideous. J/k

 

[ATXtexanfan]

I cant wait to see him stepping up against the run

 

[steelbtexan]

There goes Icky

Neal or Cross next?

 

[powda]

So what does stingray have to be to justify this pick?

Deion?
Revis?
Peterson?
Glenn?

 

[Lucky]

I want to keep going defense and move up for Jermaine Johnson. Make it happen, Nick.

 

[badboy]

here's a thought after taking Lisfranc Stingley, WR Jameson Williams will be our next pick.
