Also an excellent point. Houston has every look in the world of a team that will still suck shit next season. So why not spin the wheel and take your chances that you'll suck badly enough to get someone widely regarded as one of those 'once a decade' sort of prospects.

However-

That doesn't mean you just do it because you don't have one. If you're not sold on this batch, trade out and gather picks.

I'm not sure Stroud is THAT guy, and I really don't think Young can be as small as he is. Levis and Richardson are the most interesting I think, but both carry a high bust potential.

I don't know man. I think the only thing dumb would be if Houston stays put and doesn't take one. At least move a spot or two and get something for it.

Also, remember, it's a defensive head coach. They usually don't want to **** around with a rookie QB. Everybody's different, but typically defensive head coaches are conservative by nature.

To be clear, I am 100% Team Stroud for being the guy in this draft. In my book it's hard to beat accuracy and consistency. And I couldn't give a shit less how high Richardson can jump if his passing completion percentage is hovering around 50

Because that would be foolish honestly. Caleb Williams looks good, but not sure he is in the Lawrence/Luck/Manning/Elway caliber of prospect. I could be wrong, so don't quote me on it. I just think a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush (cliche I know). I do remember how the 2017 QB class was considered weak (despite Watson) and the 2018 was supposed to be so much better when in the end the opposite was true. Perhaps Williams will be that good and worth waiting on, but stranger things have happened and there is no guarantee that the Texans get the #1 pick. I think if Stroud is there and they are looking at a safe pick they need to snag him.

Sure - if Stroud is there.

He won't be.

No way anyone takes Young at 1.1.

Good for them. Why would you take a QB? Are any of these beating Mahomes over the next decade? Might as well build up your D and hope for an early 2000’s Ravens type of deal.

I’m not convinced any of the draftable QBs lead a team to the promised land in the 2020s
