2024 Texans pick watch thread

Drake > Caleb feels like Trubisky > Mahomes. Just a gut feeling, Drake does look very good.

I think you are only thinking this way because of the schools.

Trubisky was a meh player for years at Chapel Hill before he finally broke through, and even then, he never showed the kind of talent Maye has, who started from day one and led all college QBs in big time throws.

Mahomes in college made crazy plays every game and put up insane stats, but was overlooked due to unorthodox playstyle that teams didn't think would translate. In the draft teams took a more traditional prospect in Trubisky ahead of him, this is where the comparison to Drake comes from. Caleb is so much like Mahomes to me that taking another QB over him just feels like a mistake.

When I think about it more I guess the Trubisky comparison is a little unfair for Drake. I guess a better comparison is an already developed Josh Allen. These QB prospects are insane.

No the issue with Mahomes is that teams were still leery of all the failed Air Raid QBs. Draft analysts also dinged Watson for playing in a spread offense as well.

Trubisky played in an NFL style offense.

Drake was really good last year and it was his first year as a starter. It's crazy to think he hasn't touched his ceiling yet.

I don't understand what this means.

Drake has accuracy Josh was dinged for.

 

[Krangodnzr]

I don't understand what this means.

He's saying that he thinks that saying Drake is better than Caleb is similar to saying Trubisky is better than Mahomes. I disagree heavily.

 

[jf-08]

Ah. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[blindseyed]

Cam Rising, Utah, I wish he had better talent just because his name is so cool lol

 

[Stout]

The Texans just traded draft capital for Kendrick Green. Let's hope he plays center for them

I've heard Steelers fans said he really sucked.

 

[Stout]

I've heard Steelers fans said he really sucked.

Oh man, sucked is such a weak word for it. I don't think he'd make OUR roster. He was so bad at Center--so godawful--that they tried to make him an h-back/TE hybrid in camp this year because of his athleticism. Oof.

 

[Stout]

I've heard Steelers fans said he really sucked.

What's more--and I haaate admitting this--but Omar Khan and the Stillers have absolutely been crushing trades and FA. Tons of savvy FA moves that didn't mortgage the farm, and the Chase Claypool and Broderick Jones trades, not to mention this trade? Damn!

All true. But, nothing to fear from the Steelers as long as Tomlin is still there lol.

The Steelers model of team building is a master class on how to build a competitive team every year while also being cheap.

The cheapness holds them back from winning more championships in the modern era, but at least their fans can point to all of the playoff berths as a feather in their caps.

 

[GatorAZ]

0-1.

 

[Jakester]

0-1.

This is going to be a really high pick. The Texans offense is atrocious.

Yes, but their D will keep them in games.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Yes, but their D will keep them in games.

This will probably be true until injuries strike...

 

[PACardsFan]

This will probably be true until injuries strike...

Yes, and that applies to us also if our offense doesn’t find something that works!

The Texans losing this game would be monumental for us.

Cards probably have a couple dudes the Texans can borrow.

Is it too early to mock Caleb Williams at number 1?

No
