I was thinking that he might be a developmental guy for B O'B. It will be interesting to see how well Bruce Arians can coach him up.

I kept drafting S Marqueston Huff and WR Kevin Norwood in the 6th and 7th rounds of mock drafts. I thought they were undervalued and Seattle and Tennessee got good football players.

Now taking bets on the Texans getting scooped again on a QB...

Keith · #4 05-10-2014, 01:50 PM

SAVAGE

THought so.

Roy P · #5 05-10-2014, 01:52 PM

Well, he has the strongest arm in the draft. And we now know who the rookie QB is.

Nconroe · #6 05-10-2014, 01:53 PM

Me too. Like it and surprised Savage still there. Big, tough, smart.

Arky · #7 05-10-2014, 01:57 PM

Whoa, I've been a fan of Savage for, pfft, at least 5 minutes....

Big arm, tall... sounds like OB has his project....

When did we get scooped on a QB? Maybe your mock draft got scooped, but is there anything to indicate we wanted any other QB or got out maneuvered a single time?

I like the pick and I like that we waited. BOB can attempt to develop him with no pressure to force him if he doesn't work. A risk free QB with a big arm that will not keep us from pursuing other QB solutions. And waiting allowed us to get 4 very good players that will help if we ever have the QB we need.

If you didn't believe there was a QB worth drafting at 1.1 then this was the best possible outcome.

Roy P · #10 05-10-2014, 02:03 PM

He was the "Ryan Nassib" of this draft. Everyone talked about him as a 5th rounder then as we got closer to draft day, there were rumors he could be a 1st rounder and 5-7 QBs could go in the 1st round. I know he transferred from Rutgers and Arizona to wind up at Pitt. He didn't want to compete with The Eagles' QB Foles (who played very well last year for Chip Kelly). He sort of reminds me of Joe Flacco (who also transferred to leave Pitt when he didn't want to compete there with Drew Brees' backup).

There's no pressure with being the 4th rounder.

Savage left Arizona because they hired Rich Rodriguez, whose offenses are built around running QBs like Pat White at West Virginia. Foles was gone by the time he would've been eligible to play there.

Agree with this.

I'm not in the war room, barrett, but I'd say the Texan brass blinked a little when Bridgewater went one pick before their pick and Garropolo went 2 picks before their pick...

Maybe you have information to the contrary?

I never saw anything that indicates we had any interest in Bridgewater. It seems of the 3, he was the least likely. Sure, they could have hid their interest, but sitting at 33 shows a lack of interest in Bridgewater more than it does getting "scooped." I am sure the Texans knew a trade up was in play for half a dozen teams from picks 23-32, and yet they sat and watched. That does not look like a team that got scooped. It looks like a team that didn't want Teddy Bridgewater.

If he had lasted to 33 do you think we would have picked him? I think we would have traded down with someone who wanted him.

Roy P · #15 05-10-2014, 02:13 PM

Now we have drafted a NT and QB, I'd like to get an ILB. Jordan Tripp would be nice or even Avery Williamson or Ronald Powell. Just saying.

Can't believe DT Caraun Reid is still on the board.

Thanks for the info, Warren. I stand corrected.

Me too, Popanot

It was initially a joke. Did you not see the groaning in this forum when we got "scooped"?

popanot · #17 05-10-2014, 02:12 PM

Soooo much happier with a prospect like Savage over Mallett.

popanot · #18 05-11-2014, 02:29 PM

For the love God PLEASE DO NOT let Savage have #8. Keenum has Savage's college #7. Maybe they should cut Andy Cruse so Savage can take #12 and hopefully get some of that #12 luck. Oh well, ANYTHING but #8!!!

Changed his twitter to # "3".

HPF Bob · #20 05-11-2014, 09:46 PM

#3 is fitting because that will probably be his role this season...
