Welcome to Houston Dylan Horton

The pick should have been Adebawore who went to the Colts with the next pick. Higher rated and more of an inside guy than Horton, which is what we need.
Nick is getting in his overthinking and outsmarting himself mode.

Higher rated by whom is what is important. And I’m pretty sure Nick isnt making defensive picks in a vacuum.

This seems to be a theme with Nick, to get home grown dudes. That was probably the reason he went with Dylon.

The Texans got two solid DTs in free agency. Adebawore would have been cool, but Horton is a pure DE. Former safety too, guy has a ton of burst. Both are raw pass rush specialists.

I'm not a draft expert, all I can base an opinion about is what I read from trusted sources who do it for a living and watching film. I hope I'm wrong and Horton balls out and Adebawore sucks.

I think on defensive picks Demeco is getting the guys he wants and Caserio isn’t acting alone. Demeco may have had Adebawore rated lower than Horton.

We all knew better than the Texans when they shipped Nuk off for a half eaten sack of Krusty Burgers.

Hate to break it to you too, but NFL teams get it wrong at times too. In fact, they're a lot more wrong than they're right. Yeah we get it, we aren't privy to info teams have so us fans can only go by our eyes or what so-called experts have to say and teams rate players how they rate them. But again, it doesn't mean they are right either.

Agreed. Another dimension to the fun of the NFL. Seeing how these players develop over time.

I'll tell you right now. I'd much rather have drafted that Center you folks wanted instead of Davis Mills. Then we wouldn't be drafting a Center & a QB in this draft. Just a QB.
 
I mocked him to the Texans in my final mock draft with a 6th. Clearly wishful thinking on my part. Pass rushers from power 5 conferences with 10+ sack seasons don’t last until the 6th unless something is wrong with them:

Talented pass rusher, could work his way into Ogbo’s old designated pass rusher role.

Yeah because trading a proven pro-bowler is the same as selecting a 4th round draft pick

Horton is more likely to play meaningful snaps than Abedawore. Bigger hole at DT and Horton is a better rated pure DE prospect than him. Horton can still kick inside in pass rush specialty packages but the addition of Rankins/Ridgeway and exodus of Addison, Ogbo and Green make DE the higher need position.

Texans need to keep Jerry Hughes snaps under 50% to keep him fresh and effective. Now they have a solid rotation at both DE and DE. Bonus points if Winovich or Rivers pan out.

Same here. I didn't understand the pick at first and the more I investigated about him, the more I liked it. IIRC, we did a group mock that year, and he was one of the players I was looking at in the first.

I would've liked my recently locked up QB to not insert 🤌 in his anus and prey around town, then we wouldn't had to draft a QB in that 3rd round or this draft.. but hey, apparently that was too much to ask. We HAD to draft a QB, for that reason.. still think the Mills pick was justified.

It was obviously a great pick in hindsight, but at the time there was plenty of discussion and armchair opinions regarding GM blunder. Just saying what we see in the internet and care about is usually only a fraction of the info teams have and this doesn’t even start to touch upon what they actually want.

Dylan Horton to the Houston Texans! Highlights and Analysis by Seth Payne

Retired Texans defensive Seth Payne breaks down the Houston 4th round selection out of TCU, defensive end Dylan Horton, along with highlights. Horton has mad...

Payne was very complimentary of Horton. He noted how Horton spent a lot of downs playing inside the OT’s shoulder and showed him winning several reps from that position. I’d expect him to bump inside in obvious passing situations. Something like:

Anderson - Collins - Horton - Hughes

Not a bad pass rush!

And who ******* said that? Geez dude, give it up. If we can't have a differing opinion then why have a ******* MB?

The team thought it was worth moving up twice to get Wallow. I guess they know best. dum-de-bum-de-dum
