Talk to me about the Texans. What do you know?

You have to factor in the gap in talent between Wilson and Mills. That’s like comparing Will Grier to Kyler Murray in the 2019 draft.

Or PJ Walker to Kyler Murray in general.  😏

 

 

Oh and speaking of PJ...

...conspicuous by his absence is CPsinceDay1

I looked him up and his account shows he's still not banned like he was supposed to be after the Jets game (unless he actually is and it just doesn't say so).

@rayzor, your thoughts, sir?

You mean like Giovanni Carmazzi, Chris Redman, Tee Martin, and Spergon Wynn being 4 of the 6 QBs taken before Tom Brady? Draft position isn't absolute.

Don't worry about it.

QB Dave Mills                       DE Charles Omenihu (52.1)
RB Phillip Lindsay(69.8)       DT Ross Blacklock (30.2)
RB Mark Ingram II (78.7*)    DT Maliek Collins (64.7*)
WR Brandin Cooks (81.1)     DE Whitney Mercilus (39.5)
WR Chris Conley (70.1)        LB Zach Cunningham (60.9)
WR Danny Amendola (74.9) LB Kamu Grugier-Hill (50.4)
TE Pharaoh Brown(81.3)      LB Christian Kirksey (48.2)
LT Laremy Tunsil (75.4)       CB Vernon Hargreaves III (41.2)
LG  Tytus Howard (62.1)      CB Terrance Mitchell (68.2)
C Justin Britt (62.0*)            CB Desmond King II (67.0)
RG  Max Scharping (52.1)    S Justin Reid (60.7)
RT Marcus Cannon (70.1*)    S Eric Murray (53.9)

On paper, they have rookie QB,  with an OL similar to ours, OK RB's,  good receivers and good TE.   The Dline has a couple weak links, as does the LB core and the secondary.

Davis Mills shouldn't be able to do much of anything against our defense. That means the Texans defense will wear down from being on the field for too long trying to chase CMC and the rest. With Mills at QB and an exhausted defense the Texans should unravel and we should win comfortably.

There is no reason why Phil Snow shouldn't be able to destroy Mills with our loaded defense. When your QB is rattled, untalented, and has no experience it's a wrap.

On the other hand it's any given Sunday. The Texans have talent spread around on both sides of the ball, and if we don't play well then they can make a game of it even with Mills.

Uhhhh….for unestablished rookies, draft position is pretty meaningful (or more specifically, how good of a prospect they are which is reflected in their draft position).

So you are of the opinion that every QB taken in every round of this draft is equally talented and capable until proven otherwise? Trevor Lawrence and Sam Ehlinger are on equal footing in terms of skill?

It will come down to stopping the run and managing screen plays which Houston will use to slow down the rush. A great run game is a rookies best friend. Coupled with a short passing game to get the ball out quick and it will come down to tackling and solid technique. Teams will figure out that you have to beat us by nickel and diming us down the field trying to negate our pass rush.

No, my point is that they are unestablished. Look at Lawrence, be has been garbage. You can not rely soely on draft position to accurately predict success.
