Texans Prefer Mahomes, Watson?

The latest is they don't think Watson will last to the point where they are willing/able to trade up to.

That's weird because I think it's Mahomes that will be gone (along with Trubisky) and that Watson may very well stick around for a while.

Sometimes I like to sit back and think...

I think this is a rather unpredictable first round.

I think that unpredictability will result in trades where teams will move up to get their guy.

I think the QBs will generally go higher than expected.

I think if the Texans love a guy, they ought to be talking again to the Browns, this time to move up to #12.

I think the Browns are bad at making football decisions, worse than the Texans.

I think if Rick Smith believes he can just sit at 25 and pick a QB, he's going to find a team move up to 24 and take his man.

That would require the Texans taking Brock back so no thanks.

Good thinkin'!

But wouldn't it be just like the Texans to take neither QB nor Tackle with their first pick?

I see that as a distinct possibility if
(1) the QB they really cherish is off of their Board,
and (2) and it's such an extremely weak OT class many say there really are not any legit 1st round tackles in this years Draft,
and (3) but it' such a strong draft for defensive backs and with Bouye leaving that's now a bigger priority to us.

Right that's what I'm seeing in these mocks (not that any of them are necessarily reliable), which is of the big 3 they are drafted in this order: Truisby, MaHomes, and then Watson. Arizona is drafting at #13 and supposedly their HC continues to have a strong interest in drafting MaHomes to develop as the successor to Carson Palmer.
And this Davis Webb looks to be the real dark horse in the QB group but he still figures to be the fourth QB drafted.
