Texans gonna Texans

[Chris Meck]

You need an elite QB in this league, and you're going to have to draft him in the first. With very, very few exceptions this is true.

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.

Sorry. I went to upvote this and somehow hit the down vote. I agree with you on this

Totally agree with this.

If I were the Texans, I'd tank the hell out of this next season and go all-in for Caleb Williams. It's not worth taking a QB just to take one if you're not sold on the guys available.

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.

Yep. They need to just stack good football players. If they're lucky someone will fall in love with a guy and give them a haul to go up and get them.

Now that I think about it, THAT might be a good team to take Bijan Robinson. Trade back, stock picks, and nab the stud RB. Play defense and run the ball. I mean, if you don't have a QB...

Yeah, if Stroud is there they need to take him. I can't see Ryans hitching his fates to Young, Levis, or Richardson. Young is very talented but small. Levis and Richardson are the epitome of boom/bust and not the kind of QB a rookie HC takes his chances with.
