Love this kid! Been yakking about him for months.

Metchie fills a role for the short throw, quick slant system that Hamilton will run.
Obviously Hamilton was high on the prospect for Caserio to move up to get him.

His routes are so good, some have said he is almost unguardable.
Doesn't beat you with speed like Wan'Dale Robinson, but more with finesse.

Maybe in a year or so, not out the gate tho…

Bold move. I'm getting very interested in seeing how these picks pan out. That's potentially four new starters.

They said his ACL is ahead of schedule and he will be ready for training camp.

I've wanted a receiver like that for so long. Coutee and Braxton Miller gave me false hope.

Why do you dislike this pick or player?
Welkerish?

Nice comparison.
I don't like the trade.
Also running out of pure pass rushers. We're going to have to target pass rush specialists tomorrow

Highly polished player. Probably best route runner in draft or in top 2. 96 catches this season and 55 year before in a WR room filled with first round draft picks. This is a ready made starting WR especially if he is available by training camp as suggested.
I wouldn't say I dislike him- just that I don't like the value here. He seems like a perfectly fine, ho-hum kind of slot guy. He'll contribute, but I don't think he's ever going to be more than a number 3 that, ideally, you can push to the 4 spot. He runs nice routes, but he's not overly fast, not particularly quick, not big, not a natural hands catcher. I wouldn't say he is weak anywhere, but he doesn't bring any "wow" characteristics for me. Even his route-running (which seems to be the thing people like the most) isn't something I would say he does any better than some other receivers in this class.
But, like I said, I hope I am wrong. And since I wouldn't call myself a scout by any stretch of the imagination, there is a good chance that I am.

I honestly don’t think the FO is trying to fill every positional need in one draft.

what did we give up in trade

I wonder if Keyshawn Martin or Keith Mumphrey are still available?

For Picks 68, 108, and 124, we got pick 44.
To be fair given our roster we could've drafted from a pool of oompa loompas and we'd have four new starters..

Yeah, I like the fact he’s just really polished and won’t need to be coached up at all. He’s a plug and play baller.

Not quick? Not overly fast?

Cooks will be so old by that time!
Speaking of which isn't this the 4th WR out of Alabama this year?

Bold move to go get a playmaker that offense desperately needs. I’m thinking now they’re ok with their front 7. They will have some decent choices in next year’s draft.

I got to keep reminding myself if that.

Will see. Look forward to having another weapon for Mills.
Compared to the average guy? He's incredibly fast and quick. Compared to NFL WRs? Yeah, I don't think he is particularly fast or quick. I wouldn't call him slow, above average sounds about right.

Something like that.. 96 catches would have gotten over 100 if not injured in SEC title game. He is a target hog and chain mover. Exactly the type of WR Texans need. Just hope he makes a full recovery.

well the trade took away our chances to get a good RB so he better be good

Hopefully he's Marvin Harrison without the murder suspicions?

Maybe, but tired of depth fodder and lacking top end talent. Metchie was one of the best WR’s left in the board and as we’ve seen, WR position is now a hot commodity.

According to the draft chart, we won that trade by 84 points.

That trade up was a steal for us by the main trade charts. By RH we gave up 56 to gain 62, and by JJ we gave up 126 to gain 200

Pickens to the Steelers just now. He had an ACL too.
I bet there fans in PITT aren’t whining about it…..
Alex Pierce gone too to INDY.
Looks like Car Stereo read the room correctly…

Thinking about washouts got me looking back at past Texans drafts. It's some hard reality to confront. 2013 and 2014 are especially bad, and the ones after aren't much better.

his quickness and route running will be above average & make him a complete mismatch for most teams’ nickel cb….which is what i think he’ll be facing most of the time.
For what it's worth 2013 was historically bad for the league at large..
At least we came out with one of the rare studs from that one, of course we traded him for a bologna sandwich, so..
