Let's Talk 2016 Texans Draft

Weeden did OK this year with cowgirls and Texans. Why are you not taking a closer look.

There are a few teams with two qb , you could perhaps trade for one. Like maybe McGarron or RG3?

For now I'd stand pat and see how things go develop.

First, thanks for the list. I was impressed with Hasselbeck considering the bad cast he played around and the beating he was taking. He might be the perfect guy to mentor Mr. High Draft Choice we get in the first or second. I still have warm fuzzies about RG3 if he passes the physical and I don't doubt the Redskins will release him sometime this spring so we won't be paying that monster contract. Sign him to an incentive-heavy contract and feed him more of Mama's Campbell Soup and Subway sandwiches.

Anyway, I'm not married to any particular strategy. The door is wide open.

I only sign Yates if the Bengals are on the schedule.

I see no reason to go with Weeden.

Savage should be on the roster entering training camp.

Brian Hoyer better not even see the practice field for us next year.

I'd bring back Fitzpatrick over every QB on that list.

I wouldn't want to touch a guy like RG3 because he is young enough and high ceiling enough to confuse long term plans. After 2 years with no attempt at a QB solution it is not time for a reclamation project. Not to mention the best case scenario is he wins the job and plays a dozen games a year due to injury.

Savage and a rookie from the first 2 rounds of the draft with a 3rd guy who has familiarity with our offense.

I only say sign Yates because he deserves to be here for camp at least since he blew out a knee for us (sentimental, I know). I'd never want to go a full season with him or any of the FA's on that list for that matter. I'd be OK giving RG3 a shot if there is absolutely no other option. I agree with barrett that him or any other young FA (Geno, etc.) would just get in the way of a rookie/long-term plan.

The online gambling company Bovada set odds for Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III’s impending free agency on Wednesday, picking the Houston Texans as the most likely destination for the former No. 2 pick.

FWIW here's one book that says best odds for RG3's next team is the Texans.
Intriguing to say the least. The guy can throw the ball a mile, so O'brien would like that part of his game.

If RG3 can get his ego in check and put in the work to learn and improve, I would not be opposed to giving him a shot. However, if we draft a young QB high, I don't think signing RG3 would be a good move.

Agree, I would think RG3 was a long shot to reach Texans, but who knows. I liked him a lot when he came out of Baylor.
