Pastor Dillon Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 It’s never too early to start looking. We have some major needs and not a ton of capital. we’ve already taken a pro bowl LT with our 1st pick, a decent CB with our 3rd and 3rd down back with our other 3rd. Not to mention we have a 3rd round TE who took a redshirt year and a 1st round RT who missed most of his rookie season. so it’s already a decent class but we have needs. Big needs. We have a 2nd, two 4ths, 5th and 7th. Most are projecting a 3rd round comp pick as well. Here is what I’m thinking 2nd: edge rusher - number 1 need 4th: WR - we have to get someone who can replace Glass Fuller when he’s out 4th: RB - we need a young version of Hyde to take over at RB 5th: edge rusher - can’t have too many 7th: TE - it’s a late pick, take a flyer. I like what we did at 7th last year. Maybe even draft a kicker. Teams should go the special teams route on 7th round picks every year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumberjackchris Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Saw something on twitter this past weekend that said Kareems most likely a 4th round comp because of the missed snaps these last 2 weeks that he’s suspended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the same thing on 610. Would have been nice, a 3rd rounder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse326 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27584726/nfl-pass-blocking-pass-rushing-rankings-2019-pbwr-prwr-leaderboard This shows that pass rush is indisputably necessary. And I posted some tweets in the Mercilus extension thread that indicates we are even worse without Watt (which we don't know how many games we can guarantee) and Mercilus is quite frankly not the answer (he is a 2nd or 3rd option star but that is it). It also shows, shockingly, that Martin has really stepped up his pass blocking at least. Given the extension we were never going to replace him anyway, but he has improved mightily.

jch1911 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Potential pass rushers in 2020 - 2021: DE J.J. Watt Edge Charles Omenihu Edge Duke Ejofor OLB / DE Whitney Mercilus Edge Jake Martin OLB / DE Brennan Scarlett If Ejofor comes back at full strength and you add one solid prospect (draft or free agency) to the edge / pass rushers room, Texans could be in a good position. Several if's tho.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 First compensatory pick goes to us (probably for Mathieu). We all figured Kareem Jackson would net us a 4th, but looks like it's a 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 A 3rd is huge for us with the lack of draft Capitol we have. We have done decently with our 3rd rounders in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumberjackchris Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Ya, 97 overall could be a solid piece If utilized right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Dillon Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 I wouldn’t mind Jalen Hurts if he’s there later on in the draft. Would be a several year back up and perhaps could flip him for a pick later on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I've read that JK Dobbins is high on the Texans wish list in the 2nd. I know that CB, NT and Edge are the priority pickups, but Dobbins as our lead RB would be so great, he'd be such an awesome addition. If he's there that late in the 2nd, I don't know how you can pass on him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are that a 2nd round pick isn’t gonna be ready to start next year. 2nd round RBs are probably the biggest exception to that rule. They typically have lots of success right away.

Texansfan713 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) obviously we will not trade up with little draft capital so I cant wait to see how O'Brien screws up the draft. He needs to hit on the draft. Our needs as of right now: -Edge Rusher -NT -RB -OG -WR Edited March 15, 2020 by Texansfan713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
