Sorry Texans (not that sorry though), I sure know how it feels to draft a hopelessly bad QB in the first round https://twitter.com/ProFootballTalk/status/1649856219782193154

This would be significantly worse than drafting Will Anderson!

yeah but I'd rather have WIll Anderson and draft a QB next year than go through a couple years of mAyBe WiLl LeViS iS jOsH aLlEn 2.0 and also not have the rapist

Or, and this is my idea do not steal, they could draft CJ Stroud and I could hope for good things

Here's the dumbest possible path:

quote:

It also opens up the possibility of a trade back since there are plenty of QB-needy teams looking to land a potential star signal-caller this week. We've assumed all along the Texans wouldn't trade within the AFC South, but I've heard the Colts (No. 4) and Titans (No. 11) are both intrigued by the passers in this class and could jump up.

Trading with either of those teams, who grab Stroud, and he turns out to be a killer.

Not gonna lie they managed to surprise me by both doing the right thing with the 2 pick and then immediately doing something stupid in terms of what they traded (but the pick at 3 in a vacuum is good)

I don't understand how a scale that puts someone in the top 2% of a sample and grades him 9.78 out of ten can also have a red and a bunch of yellow in the individual measurements

yeah but youre better off taking those shots than throwing out a known mediocrity for sure, so yes, the Colts are absolutely doing the right thing here

e: although the fact that Richardson himself says he was "shocked" instead of the boilerplate "I always knew I would win the job" does say something funny

Nah, by all accounts he's actually very humble and hard working and didn't assume he'd be the starter. So I think that's a normal reaction since he seems well aware that he's still got to improve his game.

I think he'll end up being a great pick, but nobody is fooling themselves into thinking this first year is when it will happen. He's gonna have ups and downs and probably more bad than good but he's got to play and get the experience.

Fair enough. I dont wish any ill on him except as far as Id rather he not make a division rival good

we already knew he was gonna start so we gave all the reps to the other guys in order to find the best backup

We get to have a learning experience and a win in the same game, I'll take it

Weird that CJ's two worst games were the Cardinals and Panthers though

I mean let’s have perspective here - the Texans were supposed to be a bottom 3 team and are 6-5.

This season is a massive success.

and literally if we lose out we still have our franchise QB + a stud WR and DL which means we can spend money on other spots to shore up o-line/defense. We are set up nicely

Minshew missed at least two wide open TD passes (and I'm not even counting the 4th down play which might have resulted in one) so yes you can blame him

It would be difficult to imagine a better season compared to expectations and keep it within the realm of plausibility. Couldn't be happier overall. If we nail this draft like we did the last one, watch the gently caress out

If you believe the playoffs are at least partly a crapshoot (and you should given that the only real requirement these days is a great QB) then there's a lot of value in being king of a poo poo division just to get you in (and maybe a bye if your other division mates are bad enough)

I guess if you believe the draft is a crapshoot and more picks = better thats defensible and I even do believe that but I kinda feel like we could have drafted a first rounder at any defensive position and itd be good

Its quite easy to see the Texans taking a step back next year for no other reason than having to play a 1st place schedule instead of a 4th place one but Stroud is so good that it hopefully won't matter
