2023 6th rounder for an often injured special teamer and LB

 

[badboy]

I was hoping we were away from these kind of Trades. I would rather take a risk on a six round draft pick blooming over a player like Cashman.

 

[Texanmike02]

Can't believe we pulled it off. Great return for Watson...

 

[Porky]

Why?

 

[ATXtexanfan]

Would Have rather gambled on a rookie rb

 

[Texian]

Here we go again, Jets fans are loving this. Wondering how GM is able to pull these heist (does this guy deserve his own thread) :
Aaron Wilson on Twitter: "Texans traded a late-round draft pick to New York Jets for Blake Cashman, per a league source" / Twitter

 

[Texanmike02]

I'm actually ok ish with this. A 6th rounder for someone you've at least seen compete against grown men. If there's a reasonable chance that he just had a string of bad luck but looked like he can contribute that can't be much worse than a 6th rounder

If Caserio identified some kind of arbitrage that we can't see, I'm good with it.

Why?

Caserio has got to Caserio.

Cashman must have really shined in those 36 snaps the past 2 seasons. He did make 9 tackles. And had a great combine workout in 2019. So, he's got that going for him.

Edit: When I first saw this, I thought it was about Blake Martinez. Figured someone had made a mistake and put Jets instead of Giants. Then I thought, why sign Kirksey if you're trading for Martinez.

Nope. Just another guy that was going to be cut. Who wants an avatar bet that Cashman will still be on the opening day roster?

 

[thunderkyss]

He was put on IR, six games in for a groin injury.


After he was just activated to the active roster

Caserio trying to pull a Brady out of his hat with these 6th round picks!

 

[Lucky]

So we can get Cashman and not give up Watson? Deal!

 

[Thorn]

Players with a history of injuries can always find a home with the Texans. They're such nice guys.

 

[Earl34]

Why?

If they say, why, why? Tell 'em that is human nature.

 

[badboy]

Why?

I answered that question in my post.

I think I would rather him pull an O'Brien and trade 6th round picks for 5th rounds the following year.

 

[Dejaview]

Actually this was an exchange of sixth round picks between the Texans and Jets…Texans exchanged Shaq Lawson for Cashman

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

I wonder if this guy is going to bring good character to the locker room though?

 

[Speedy]

Man, Caserio hates those 6th round picks.

 

[Dejaview]

Hope so. We have a ton of makeup needed.

I believe he also waited until AFTER marriage to have sex so there’s that.

that kind of stuff and culture gives Easterby a chubby.

Exactly.
It's not like a sixth is giving up the world...

No it isn't, but that doesn't mean just throw them away because they're burning a hole in your pocket. Hell, why not just cut the draft to 5 rounds if 6ths and 7ths are that useless?

You do realize Texans still have two more Sixths?

 

[Thorn]

You do realize Texans still have two more Sixths?

Still? How come we haven't traded them yet? There are plenty of injured has-beens out there ripe for the picking.

We could have three & Cashman off the waiver wire.

This was a guy I really liked coming out of Minnesota.

Appeared to be very active and good speed and instincts. Reminds me of Redskins LB Holcomb. Hasn't been able to stay healthy.

 

[Texian]

He took away my damn headset.

 

[powda]

I had a remarkably stupid thought but I think it's funny so I'll say it anyway...

We had 3 6th round picks.

666

That's not acceptable for Easterby. He made the trade happen.

 

[ArlingtonTexan]

the pick is for 2023..there are still 3 6th round picks for 2022

 

[powda]

Then it's guaranteed we'll be trading another?

 

[Texansphan]

We have yet to see either of them in game action for Texans.

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

So I actually looked into the Cashman fellow, and I’m not terribly upset at the trade now.

He’s got good mobility and he’s a good tackler. Tracks the ball well and can sift through traffic.

I think at the least he could be a special teams standout.

If he’s decent in coverage (he has the mobility for it) he could do well in Lovie’s defense.

But even if he turns out to just be a really good special teams player it would be a good trade.

 

[Lucky]

But even if he turns out to just be a really good special teams player it would be a good trade.

He would have been an even better waiver wire pickup.

Let’s pretend that Cashman doesn’t have the injury history and has become this special teams demon. He only has one year on his contract. Isn’t it possible to find a guy in the 6th that’s a special teams ace. On a 4 year rookie deal?

But my real concern is what is Caserio going to do with real draft picks? He’s never had them in an unsupervised setting. Would he go, “That David Johnson was a pro bowl RB 3 years ago. He’s definitely better than a stinky 2nd round pick.”

Caserio keeps doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down on a moronic strategy that has yet to work. What other crazy arse ideas does he have in store?

Personally, I was okay with what he did his first go round.

The Texans did have 4 6th round picks in 2023 (NYG, NO, SF, their own). Now they have...6-6-6.

(Easterby has un- friended you.)

 

[Thorn]

The important thing of course is to continue to gripe and blame because it’s just so easy

I thought that was our job.

 

[powda]

It's a 6rh Rd pick in 2023 dude. It's not the end of the world.

If this were a rare instance i'd tend to agree with you. Instead it's becoming Caserio's mo. He's tossed aside these picks far to often and every time people chime in with, "It's just a 6th (or 7th) round pick Who cares?"

It's a bad practice especially when we end up cutting players so quickly afterwards. At this stage of the building process I think they have more value for us then a contender. How many cuts last year after a trade? 2? 3?

I'm starting to think the Texans are understaffed in their scouting department and have been instructed not to bother with the 6th round.

Maybe they should use Ziprecruiter?

This was an oops.

My response to this is to ask how many sixth and Seventh rounders are starters in the NFL?
Why not use picks for NFL ready players and not busts?
Smh.

 

[powda]

Smh.

I bet Tom Brady would shake his head to if he read your post.

Yeah the NFL is just loaded with elite sixth round hofers.
Smh .

 

[powda]

So why bother drafting a sixth round at all?

Kurt Warner

John Randle

James Harrison

Antonio gates

Warren moon

And dozens other "smh."

 

[michaelm]

I bet Tom Brady would shake his head to if he read your post.

So a single 6th rounder over two decades ago turned in to a hall of fame player vs how many 6th rounders flipping burgers now in that same time span?

There are 1,500 players (approximately) in the league each year.
I ask again, how many elite hofers are in the league?
Smh.

You are welcome to see my following post and search hall of famers / starters in the 6th round or beyond. Lil eye opening.

6th rounders only have value as hof'ers?

The odds are still significantly stacked against finding one of those outliers
