texans playing 4D chess taking Anderson at 2

There are rumors that Nick Caserio is leaving the Texans right after the draft.

With that in mind, he may want to set them up well for the future...or he may want to screw them over.

Depends on whether he's leaving on good terms or not.

(and given how things have done the last few years, bad terms are definitely a possibility)

Albright is just guessing. Heck, he said so himself.

The people who actually do have inside  connections pretty much all say the final decision isn't made yet.

I doubt that the owner is just going to let him screw them over.

And there are several who really like CJ in the organization. I bet it’s going down to the wire.

The draft is in less than 2 weeks.  I'm sure the front office and coaches are still going through their final evaluations, but I am fairly certain they have a good sense of who they plan on picking #1.  Obviously the team won't come out and say that - it would be a disservice to the other QBs they have coming in on visits/interviews.  But I don't think this is as much of a mystery as people are making it out to be.

I won’t be surprised if we hoping to trade #1 pick to Houston and maybe pick up extra 2nd round pick.

Or we could be stringing them along, view them close enough but know who they want and are making it seem like we want him in hopes of getting another pick..

I would be shocked.  It wouldn't make any sense at all.  

It is like people forget we included DJ Moore in the trade.  Our best player on offense by far.  You don't do that if you don't plan at sticking at #1.

If the texans view young as a generational talent they would be in the cat bird seat.  They dont. 

Young is most definitely not a generational talent but he’s the only QB Texans are interested in.  Texans will run dink and dunk system which Young fits perfectly.

But what if Young is not our target and we can still get our guy while picking up extra early 2nd rounder?

The Panthers are not trading the #1 pick.  I would bet my last dollar on it.  Doesn't make a lick of sense and I don't know why people keep trying to push it as a possibility.  Has any credible source said that the Texans have even talked to the Panthers about trading up?  Has any credible source said the Panthers have any interest in trading the #1 pick?  Why would the Panthers trade away DJ Moore, to trade down to #2?  What could the Texans reasonably and realistically give us that would offset giving away DJ Moore?  The Panthers weren't willing to part with another 1st, hence why they gave up Moore instead, so it would have to be 2 1sts.  And the Texans aren't giving up 2 1sts to move up one spot.

Can we please stop pushing this theory that the Panthers are trying to trick the Texans into trading up to #1?

A) It just doesnt work like that in the nfl

B) I seriously doubt the panthers could pull this type of move off.  I know its a new era but incompetence has been the name of the game for this franchise for the better part of 30 year

 

But if Fitt did pull it off he would ascend to next level

    • I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.
    • We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.  
    • I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
