  1. Getting Burns for only a first (Carolina previously turned down two firsts and a second for him) then paying him still allows you to pay another big free agent. This is what taking advantage of starting QB on a rookie contract looks like, and how you build an title contending roster I’m fine making big moves if the value is right
  2. A franchise and trade presumably, similar to what KC is doing with Sneed
  3. This lock has houston trading #23 for Brian Burns That would be fun
  4. Is Houston letting Greenyard go so they can pay Wilkins?
  5. It seems like they're going to let someone else "overpay" for Greenyard, and use the money saved on a different player
  6. There’s no way Thomas Jr will be there. He might be gone by pick 15 I thought there was a chance Mims would be, but his measureables were even crazier than I’d thought Latu’s medicals could drop him
  7. I think these 19 are probably gone before pick #23 Caleb Williams Drake Maye Jayden Daniels Marvin Harrison Jr Malik Nabers Joe Alt JJ McCarthy Rome Odunze Dallas Turner Quinyon Mitchell Terrion Arnold Brian Thomas Jr Olu Fashanu Taliese Fuaga Byron Murphy II Troy Fautanu Brock Bowers Amarius Mims Jared Verse

    Most of these guys are 3rd or 4th years
  9. It seems that three of the players I liked for Houston at #23 very likely won't be there; Quinyon Mitchell, Brian Thomas Jr, and Amarius Mims. Cooper DeJean is tbd. I do think Darius Robinson should be there at least. We'll see if someone who most think should go top 15 falls to #23. A run on OL before #23 would help that happen.

    The Bears just missed on Stroud because of that line of thinking. If a QB has a decent chance of being a top ten guy and has a ceiling in the top five, which all three of these guys have, then you have to take him, unless you already have your QB

    I bet they go for a vet QB, and draft Dallas Turner

    The problem with trying to fit Murphy into the top ten is seven of those spots are already very likely locked up by four QBs and three WRs. There's a decent chance at least one OT (Alt) goes top then, and after the measurables today, Dallas Turner seems likely to be in there too. There's also a chance someone falls in love with Brock Bowers

    The reason most likely to keep him from the first round would be inability to rush the passer consistently, and today probably made him appear to be more of a dominant run stuffer who'll help out in pass rush every once in awhile I'm not saying he won't be drafted in the first, but I don't think he's a lock by any means

    Eh
  18. My pick for most likely pick at this point for Houston at #23, if they stay put, is Darius Robinson. He fits the type of DL San Francisco targeted while DeMeco was there, and also fits what Caserio looked for in New England I think some guys like Brian Thomas Jr could be higher on their board, but are less likely to still be there at #23

    Second heaviest weigh-in at the combine ever for a defensive player
  20. Davis and Estime are the RBs to target in the mid rounds for Houston, imo Vet RBs are fine, just don't break the bank on them

    Some interesting stats from Nate in here "Even when looking at scramble rate instead of just raw data, Daniels has one of the highest numbers on record. His 14.1% scramble rate ranks third among the 196 qualifying quarterbacks since 2019, only below Liberty quarterbacks Malik Willis and Kaidon Salter, both players known for their poor pocket management and run-first styles." "Daniels threw over the intermediate part of the field (10-22 yards) and between the numbers on only 9.3% of his dropbacks, which ranked 163rd out of 196 qualifying college quarterbacks since 2019. The only quarterback to be drafted in the first two rounds to have a lower rate since 2020 was Justin Fields at 8.1%, and that's still an aspect of the game that Fields struggles with despite having more arm strength than Daniels." "Daniels also has times when he won’t push for the deeper option on a high-low concept and default to something underneath, which is reflected in his air yards to the sticks metric that looks at the average difference in air yards to the target and the first-down marker. Daniels' number in this metric was negative over his career, which doesn’t put him in the greatest company among recent highly drafted prospects at the position. " "When you see how Daniels attacks and pair it with his career sack rate of 8.5% and pressure to sack rate (the amount of pressures that resulted in a sack) of 24.5%, I do have some concerns about how Daniels will mitigate those negative plays within the structure of the offense. Those sack metrics are generally sticky for quarterback prospects when they move to the next level and Daniels' numbers rank second-highest among the same group of early round QB prospects since 2020." "Even the slightest amount of pressure will cause Daniels’ eyes to come down in the pocket and start looking for running lanes: only 50.6% of his pressured dropbacks resulted in a pass attempt, ranking 193rd out of 196 qualifying quarterbacks since 2019. If Daniels gets moved off of his launch point, he is looking to run; 25% of his pressured dropbacks resulted in a scramble! When Daniels escapes outside of the pocket? He looks to run. Daniels had 83 dropbacks where he ended up outside the pocket in 2023 and 36 of those dropbacks resulted in a scramble. That means 43.4% of the time Daniels left the pocket, he was scrambling. Not that those ended up as bad results; his success rate on those plays was nearly 70%, but always looking to run is near-impossible to do as a long-term NFL starter. Even Lamar Jackson, a player Daniels has been compared to, was a big-game hunter when coming out of Louisville with a love for firing throws over the middle, while also being heavier and a more creative runner."
