You can tell some folks on either side of this are going to get warnings by draft night. Hell poundaway is still in and out of my notifications spending day and night looking through past posts for anything to poo on. Mental illness is real.

I mean these type of conversations happen all the time. 

"If you're there you're our guy"

It's why Jalen Carter won't talk to teams outside the top 10. 

If we take Bryce Young at 1 it doesn't matter what the Texans want to say. Young wasn't there. 

You think the Chargers and Dolphins didnt tell Burrow "Hey if you get to 5/6 you aren't falling any further" when Burrow went 1 and they took Tua and Herbert? 

The only time that would bite them in the ass would be if somehow we took neither Bryce nor CJ and the Texans had been hyping one up only to take the other. But even then "We never thought we'd have a chance at him blah blah blah" 

With all due respect just think you're over thinking and over analyzing this a bit.

No, I just don’t think teams necessarily say that a lot when it doesn’t make sense to say it, and I don’t think it makes much sense for the Texans to say it to Young. There’s not really anything for them to gain from saying it. I doubt teams were having those conversations with Burrow when everybody knew he was going #1. And I think Jalen Carter is kind of a fool for doing what he did after a disastrous couple months and I don’t trust his judgment so I don’t think it’s a given at all that he has guarantees.

Honestly, there hasn’t been any credible reporting linking us to Stroud for weeks now so I’m not sure why it’s so surprising that he’s probably not the pick. Even Joe Person this morning admitted that much of the Stroud talk was rooted in the belief that his size would give him an edge because of Reich’s past. Mike Kaye admitted the same last week.

Stroud will be a good QB for somebody but that somebody isn’t looking like us.

Welp. Wanted Stroud but if this is the case, get the young fella in the weight room ASAP and give him some nice southern meals three times a day.

Someone needs to introduce him to Cookout and Bojangles and get him off that Scallop diet

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
