I'd prefer it be for three 1sts straight up, but all the talk has been that the Texans wants picks and a player(s). If that's the case, I'd rather it be CMC than someone like Burns simply due to positional value. I'd rather it be CMC than someone like Chinn simply due to the reality that Chinn still has three years left on a cheap rookie contract. I'd rather it be CMC than someone like Moore again due to positional value. What I will say though is that if CMC is part of the deal then IMO re-signing Samuel becomes borderline critical. Samuel filled in for CMC in a lot of ways last year.

I couldn't bring myself to do it.  In terms of players, I would give them Shaq Thompson, Teddy (just to have an experienced QB going into the season), and Donte Jackson (if we can convince them he has potential).  I would definitely keep those young defensive guys and Moore.  Ultimately, they would have to be satisfied with the 1st rounders.

2 1st and CMC max. Poor CMC, he should move to WR so he can prolong his career.

I mean we were in the Superbowl and could have won with expensive RBs if not for Shula but we would be the outlier and this is a good chart for what it is.

I respect that, but some folks are using the loose details and beliefs you're talking about as if they were firm information. And this despite that you've also acknowledged Houston might not trade him.

verge is 1000000x more plugged in than you, take a seat

As much as I like CMC our backup showed and proved yet again that we need to stop fuging paying RBs lol. Just use 1 mil contract guys like the rest of the leagues best teams. Trade those 3 firsts and CMC and call it a day. Throw in TB and Shaq and Boston too for good measure.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to be the outlier. It does show the reality of the NFL though, that's a pattern that would require us as is to be an outlier. If anything you can say that CMC is such a receiving threat that he can be an outlier. I still hands down would rather see CMC as a Samuels type WR over RB while having a power back or rookie contract RB any day.

I want to keep our 2nd rd pick, though. Need to upgrade the OL

right, that's why attaching CMC makes so much sense.

dump his contract

give the texans some starpower to keep asses in seats

save some picks we can put into fixing the line

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
