So if you draft a QB to a team with no weapons, and a subpar defense what do you expect him to show. He’s most likely a better QB, certainly a better prospect who also has/had a better team around him. Remember back when teams used to draft a QB and let them sit out all year? Let’s set our next QB up for success by putting the best possible team around him that we can.
The Texans have a RB, they potentially have 2 WRs in Collins and Metchie. The TEs showed promise in spurts. Draft Young/Stroud and add the TCU WR at #12. Low and behold, you have weapons. You cannot count on a TOP 5 pick for Williams and Maye in 2024. Then what? You are chasing a QB that may never come. Ask the Colts how that has gone the last few years.
drafting a QB at the top of the draft doesn’t mean he will be more successful https://syndication.bleacherreport....quarterbacks-really-worth-the-gamble.amp.html granted it’s an old article but the logic and hit ratio are still valid
It is about the QBs you draft. Young and Stroud are 2 of the most productive and efficient QBs in College football history.
Yet neither are the prospects that Lawerence was, that Luck was, that Burrows was. It’s much more likely that Anderson or Carter has the biggest impact on this team.
Are the Texans going to be terrible enough next time there is a Lawrence/Burrow/Luck? Looks like it's once every 5 years (on average) AND you need a #1 pick overall.
