Houston - our 2nd first round pick
-
Sashi wouldn't trade down from #9 to get another first next year again, would he?
Yes. It appears he wants 5 years worth of draft picks in 3 years. That's the plan. Doesn't matter where they are or who you get.
-
So they lost to Indy today and are currently around pick #9.
Of course we have NO IDEA who will be doing the drafting.....perhaps Dee.

Must have a mouse in your pocket... cause I know.
I'll be absolutely fine if the Texans go 3-5 in the second half for a 6-10 record. I was hoping at best for them to finish around .500 and not make the playoffs, so 6-10 would be great.
3 wins looks like the upper bound to me. O is a Sheet show now and D while still good is hurting badly. Of their missing only Cushing is expected back.
So just when they need to reemphasize the run, something they can do behind Miller and Foreman, their D can't keep them in games to allow the to run.
He probably would if the offer was right. It's our strategy. If we could get another 1st rounder the following year AND not drop back TOO far, it COULD be an OK move. But people like me don't want to trade down at all. I'm just tired of it.
Agree... but it really depends on their player evaluations. If they see their guy, no one will be able to pry him away... just as no one could pry Luck out of Indy's hands.

Yeah best player available wither the second pick imo. Everyone is leaning receiver but idk about that.

In a perfect world, I'd love a receiver to go with the QB taken with the first pick.
But don't force it. If there's someone else sitting there that is a superior talent, take him. There's holes all over the roster.

If we want a KO/PR/WR then take Kirk, but if we want a pure WR Ridley's the man IMO.

If we use our first 1st and the HOU 1st is a top ten pick, then I will not be surprised to see another twofer deal, as in a 2018 + 2019 1st-rounder, go down...

I wouldn't be surprised either if sashi traded down again.

Well, if you already have drafted your QB, and there is a good offer for your pick while you don't get to lose the player in the top of your list... I'd trade down, even if that keeps fans desperate.

One downside of Houston continuing to lose and look like crap on offense is that it just sort of reinforces how badly we messed up by not selecting watson

Well, we can agree that he looked great on the field. But also, no one can guarantee that a player who has already had ankle* problems will not have more in the future. Judging if we did well or not drafting him by only 4 games it's quite hasty. If he gets injured every season I guess we won't miss him that much.
It's not the same as comparising passing on Wentz.
EDIT: knee

Careful there Nero. You're now flirting with Garrett territory on the ankles thing.

Of course. Garrett showed some promise but if he keeps having ankle problems, he won't be a good draft choice. BUT, everyone would have chosen him, and you cannot guess that kind of things. Drafts can be evaluated after some years have passed, but I understand that meanwhile opinions can be throught out there too.

Houston is going to get a freaking win this weekend and it's so annoying. They're playing the Cardinals who obviously don't have Carson Palmer, and NOW it appears they won't have their backup either (Stanton). I literally have no clue who will be playing QB for them, but suffice to say that they probably won't be winning a game in Houston this weekend. I could be mistaken, but I doubt it. Houston defense will show up and I'd be completely surprised if the Texans don't win like 16-3 in a total snooze-fest.

As the people of Spain were nice enough to correct my flaws in Spanish, I now return the favor. FIFY

Going into the season, I was hoping that the Texans wouldn't qualify for the playoffs and their pick would be in the #15-20 range.
They aren't going to lose out the rest of the season, but I can't see them being any better than 6-10 tops. I'll take it gladly.
