You have a top 2 pick you take the shot on finding a franchise QB. They could even do it again next year with all the picks they have next year too. You can't go wrong being in position to take Young or Stroud. I understand but There’s more to the story. If the Panthers select Young, Stroud has the same agent as Watson and apparently that relationship is not good with the Texans brass. That could lead them passing on Stroud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not gonna pass on Stroud just because they hate his agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkelly02 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 If the Texans don’t take a QB they’re total idiots. What would the plan be to tank another season… and hope they don’t blow it at the last game again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your drafting him at 7 to be one of like 3 leaders on the field and off (not necessarily as a rookie)… I have no faith in that. There are other options, he ain’t the only show in town. Yea, Carter is the opposite of what theyve said theyre looking for. 7 is a huge pick for McZ, and should be a building block whichever way they decide to go.

Only concern I'd have in that situation is Stroud pulling an Eli and refusing to play for Houston at the behest of his agent (assuming they're that close). It's unlikely. But were it to happen, what would Houston's fall back plan even be? Sell him off to the highest bidder and hope they don't goof into a semi decent season? Hope that a team that took a different QB is willing to pull off the ol' switcheroo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t surprise me if their coach would want to model his team like the 9ers. A defensive powerhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what everything seems to be pointing to. Hard not to shake off the very Raiderlike feeling going into the draft that they’re gonna do something real stupid as it’s so ingrained in our psyche, but it does seem like the recent noise coming out, coupled with the Hoyer signing makes it less likely they’ll go QB at 7 and will only make moves if something unexpected happens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A defensive powerhouse Folks forget they also have 12, 33, 65, 73, 104, as top 150 picks this year and have 2 1sts and 2 4ths in 2024 as extra solid ammo They could conceivably draft Will Anderson and move right back up for a QB and still have some extra juice left in the tank for supporting cast. Houston is in year 1 of a high profile hire after several years of instability and placeholders. They're not in a rush and don't need to be. By 2025, if they can draft, they could very very well rounded. If I were them, I'd simply go BPA all day long and let the chips fall where they may for the next 2 years, grabbing a fine QB prospect along the way isn't out of reach by doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's possible but there is still a risk someone else moves to 3, I mean just take your QB at 2 and move back up for Anderson if that's the case.

Fair. Either/Or. Really depends on just how much they love whichever QB is there at 2. I'd personally pass on Young for a different QB this year or next (or trade for one). But everyone has their preferences. Basically the only way Houston could go wrong is flat out reaching and ignoring positional needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
