The Texans Team as a Whole

He wasn't the only one reporting this.

Back during pre-draft days, pretty much everyone believed the Texans had Young as their top prospect.

It's not hard to figure out.  We have Houston players talking about how happy they are now that they won that meaningless game last year to drop to 2nd.  If Stroud was their guy they would just pick him at 1 if they didn't win.  We have Ryans saying he had Stroud and Young as 1A and 1B.  If Stroud was his guy all along he would happily say so.  He either liked Young or it was truly 50/50.  Young was a popular choice as QB1 in this draft.

Definitely not saying he was the only one, but ideas spread, then those who choose to adopt those ideas mentally own them as “theirs” and defend them. Sometimes in obvious ways. Sometimes in slick ways. 
 

“Texans wanted Young but they will never admit it” is a pointless thing to say, and comes off like saying “see it wasn’t just me, everyone else too.”

 

It softens the feeling of “being wrong.” An ego massaging trick.

Which reminds me: everyone likes to call out Chris Simms on his misses, but he definitely appears correct on his Stroud/Young take.

Perhaps he’s saving face because he liked Bryce…

Unless things change, it’s gonna be clear everyone was under a collective delusion that a wonderic test can make up for a lack of physical talent.

Stroud is undoubtably elevating everyone around him. Young isn’t. That can change but it’s the case right now.

Missed on Corral/Wilson. Nailed it on Mahomes/Stroud. 

Also it's not like he wasn't high on Young.  He just loved Stroud and rightfully so.

I respect the hell of simms for doing his own ranks and not patrioting like 99% of these draft gurus do. 

Plus LOL at alll the hate he gets for being wrong a couple times, he is suppose to be perfect??  Everyone has misses, he does seem to off the "normal" path and get it right solo. Sorta like smitty about WRs.

I've been a fan of Schultz since he was with the Cowboys.

hurst was signed in first few days of FA while Schultz ended up having to take a one year prove it deal later in FA. would have been a great security blanket for Bryce instead, we ended up signing an inconsistent and older TE on his fourth team for more future cap hit and less production

People bitch about Bryce over Stroud, but how about Mingo over Dell?

As a neutral fiterererererer fan, you can do that with any 2-7 round picks.......feeels like the herinay era in that regards... 

Mingo should be a big part of 2024 plans as well, good or bad.....

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
