[Official] Texans Off Season Thread

Higgins was looking good at the end of the year, you don't believe in Noel? They do need to add a speed WR.

 

He fits what Demeco likes though

 

IMO year 2 will be big for Noel, not sure how Tank will look but I have high hopes. I hope Higgins makes a big step but your right, I would like to see one WR with killer speed.

Not sure what to think about the TE room, love the signing for Moreau but where does that leave B Jordan? I have no clue if he is good or not due to injuries and Stover was OK but he was hurt for most of the season. Dalton is your go to in clutch moments, and Moreau is your TE when you need a good TE blocker. I would love to draft a TE but someone would have to go

 

Way too much for a RB

 

I think if we don’t trade down, first round should be BPA even at positions of strength. How does this year’s WR draft look like

 

Not sure I want to grab a WR at 28. I feel like there are a couple of guys above the rest that will get picked well before we pick in the 1st.

I like the value in the 2nd and 3rd rounds with maybe Zachariah Branch, Chris Brazzell III, Skyler Bell, De'Zhaun Stribling, Antonio Williams, etc.

 

He is small but he and Henry T look to be comparable in size when looking at height/weight measurements and they LOVE Henry. Rodriguez is a playmaker

 

Here's three WRs I wouldn't mind us taking in later rounds.
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/brenen-thompson/32005448-4f49-5568-b2b0-2cb4177dc9ca Texas kid who is a speed demon, but on the tiny side. If we're looking for someone that the defense has to account for deep, he'd be a guy we could look at.

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/eli-heidenreich/32004845-4911-4391-8a01-9db2e0bed972 Love this kid's story and versatility! He could be a weapon Caley deploys as a slot, RB, etc.

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/josh-cameron/32004341-4d10-8646-75f3-768d0dbaba55 Another Texas kid, but he's the opposite of Thompson, more of a bully ball option. Big WR built like RB, will need some development, but could earn a role as ST until he's ready to go.

There's a lot of TEs I like in this draft.

nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Sam-Roush-TE-Stanford I wasn't high on this kid initially because of his drops, but @raining threes kept mentioning so I started to pay attention. He blew away folks at the combining and he's the great nephew of Merlin Olson, which means he's got greatness in his DNA. If he can eliminate the drops he can be special.

https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Oscar-Delp-TE-Georgia This is the other kid that I think has been lost in the sauce a bit at GA and could emerge as a better Pro. Waiting to see his 40 time, but he's supposed to be fast and has good hands, and a plus blocker. Needs to add a little weight, but that should be easy in a few years.

There's 4-5 other TEs I think that could help us, but one of the two above would be a nice addition to our TE Room.

Great list

I would add Nyck Harbor to the WR group in rd 5 or so. Supreme athlete. Runs like a track guy at 6'5 235 lbs. Was Sellers go to guy. Injuries have been an issue and there's still a lot of development there, but this guy is an elite athlete and well worth the roll of the dice IMHO. BTW, Caserio was at the South Carolina pro day yesterday.

Riordan the TE from Notre Dame is another guy I like in the 5th.

 

The 1st 3-4 are good WR's after that you've got some really good athletes that have varying stages of development IMHO.

Thing is out of those 1st 3-4 WR's 2 of them have injury histories. Tyson and Concepcion.

 

Injury prone and avg, none can block worth a crap, If it was me Stover and Jordan would both be gone. Stover probably stays and one draft pick is probably added.

 

I completely agree, but LOL, watch it be a defensive player (like a CB or DT).

Avieon Terrell, anyone?

 

i am still not certain that either Higgins or Noel are ready to be option number 2. I hope they prove me wrong

 

I stand corrected.

Part of me feels bad for Achane, but this just means he'll have to follow the same path of most other RBs: Play out his rookie contract before a big extension comes. Dolphins have all the leverage and are using it. Bobby Slowick will have no choice but to increase Achane's workload since they have so little other talent on offense and are taking a $175 million cap hit for 2026.

Was going to post this on March 13, but I was just getting out of the hospital (TIA stroke, thx Texans... lol), but I was like naaaahhh... this is just me being a fan-man again

Sign G Wyatt Teller or Joel Bitonio (2 years, $16M) or Brady Christensen (2 years, $8M)
sign C Evan Brown or James Daniels (2 years, $4M)
re-sign edge Derek Barnett (2 years, $6M) or sign Josh Paschal (1 year, $1.5M)
sign IDL Jonathan Bullard (2 years, $3M)

 

These are great and I am going to add Lewis Bond; broke Zay flowere's reception record at BC and is going to go late
