  1. 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
  3. 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."

    Yeah, we don't need Kurt Warner's stupid shit in this thread
  10. Frequently the true backup center isn't listed there if he's starting at guard

  12. Majors has started a ton of games and is a good starting center, and he also has some weak points. We're allowed to say that here, right?

  15. Here's DJ's writeup on Chop Rank 24 1 Chop Robinson Penn State · Edge · Junior Robinson is an extremely twitched-up edge rusher with limited production. He has average size but is incredibly explosive. As a pass rusher, he has excellent get-off quickness, but it looks odd because of his short/choppy steps. He will cause more stress for OTs when he learns how to lengthen his stride and gain ground. He flashes a nifty two-hand swipe maneuver and a push/pull move. He has some tightness that shows up when he gets to the top of his rush. His sack production is limited, but he was very disruptive in every game I studied. He was asked to drop into coverage on occasion and looked comfortable in space. Against the run, he consistently generates knock-back versus head-up blockers, but he struggles versus angle blocks and double teams. He gets washed down the line too often. Overall, Robinson isn't a smooth/bendy type of player, but his mix of speed and power provides a lot of disruption.
  16. I'd add Brian Thomas Jr to Mitchell, DeJean, Mims, and D Robinson as interesting targets, although Mitchell most likely won't be there, and I'm starting to doubt Thomas Jr and Mims will be there. Unclear about DeJean. Seems like Robinson should be there, and he'd fit DeMeco's defense There's a lot of people who don't think Houston would draft an OT in the first. If that's true, then we should hope for a big OT run before our pick to push other players back
  17. It's up to the SEC commissioner
  18. Funny thing is he won't be able to transfer to LSU and be immediately eligible

    It's an OL and WR draft, with a couple of high end QBs

  21. Mills getting passed up this year by Keenum while Stroud was out was alarming
  22. Brian Thomas Jr is probably the most common mock at #23 at this point, but it seems like if he’s WR4, and the top three are all gone by pick eight or nine, it’s unlikely that the next WR won’t be picked until #23 I’d like the pick, but I don’t think he’ll be there
  23. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict the next season's viewership won't be nearly as strong People finish murder mysteries that they start. I think a lot of people just won't start next season Also, Pizzolatto's social media activity might be more cringeworthy than Issa's
