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.

Right.
Sooner or later you need one. The real problem is for the QB purgetory teams that are actually good rosters with mediocre QBs who get themselves stuck in the 8-15 range.
But that ain't Houston. They're gonna suck for at least another 2 years. Young isn't the guy and if Stroud doesn't fall, why wouldn't you just accept the fact that you still have another year or two (at least) of suck in front of you so you'll no doubt get another shot at that 1.1 and a QB you actually like?
Though I do agree that, should by some small miracle Stroud fall to 2nd, the Texans should take him. He'd be a solid selection.
The other 3? Punt - try again next year.
