Taking a 25 year old who’s going to sit his whole rookie season due to injury in the first round? Thanks but no thanks.

Hooker was back on the field doing drop back drills two days ago.  I don't see him missing the season.  He may not be 100% for camp, but I think he's got a chance to play.

Texans, a bad team with holes everywhere and just took a rookie QB who needs time to learn NFL offense playing for a raw, young coaching staff, trading their first rounder next year to move up for a defensive end

They could have traded up to 6-9 range for Wilson or Carter instead and not given up the 1st round pick

There's a very high chance that pick is top 10, they basically have to win the division now

Instantly lost the draft for them

Texans have a poor oline (other than Tunsil), poor wide receivers, and no one to mentor CJ Stroud unless you think his backup Davis Mills is that guy.  Bryce is in a much better position. I see CJ's first year mimicking Justin Field's and that will not be pretty.

I would put the Falcons as a "bomb".

I get it, Bijan was the top rated RB, but have teams not learned that you just don't take RBs in the top 10? We had the most versatile RB in the NFL, and didn't win games. Saquon Barkley's team never does sh*t. Derrick Henry had some of the craziest seasons from a RB EVER, and only got to the AFC championship once. Dalvin Cook teams never did anything. Jonathan Taylor one of the best backs in the league, his teams never do anything. Not to mention, even if he DOES ball out, then you have to pay a RB top dollar on his next contract, and we've seen first hand how that works out.

SO GLAD the Falcons didn't take Jalen Carter lol

Yup.  I hope we never shell out a high draft pick or huge contract to a RB ever again.  Productive RBs are a dime a dozen these days, and you can find one in undrafted free agency.  The skill drop off between a first rounder and a seventh rounder is not that big today.

The Texans were easily the #1 winner, drafting elite players at the two most important positions. Only time will tell if they’re able to successfully utilize them.

 

On paper the Eagles did really well, but one of the biggest red flags to me is if your college coaching staff doesn’t speak highly of you and Carters whole coaching staff hated him apparently.  

 

All of our division rivals failed at drafting this year, the only caveat being yea Bijan is good but not as good as CMC and we saw how much success he helped us have.  A top ten RB better be Eric Dickerson and Barry Sanders rolled into one.  
 

And I dunno wtf Detroit thought they were doing. Probably the worst first round of anyone. 
 

The Bills also did well, only one pick but they navigated the board well and got a stud TE by trading ahead of the Cowboys who most likely would have taken him. Bonus points for screwing dem boys.

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
