  1. Reminder of some things Caserio/DeMeco have tended to draft - P5 plus Notre Dame - Team captains - GPS game tracked speed over testing speed (a way to find value?) - Avoiding players with injury histories - Younger - Participated in senior/shrine bowl https://x.com/Texans_Thoughts/status/1884623511211114580

    2025 NFL Draft

    He'll be a project QB for a few years, I think
  3. Any measurables stuff from Gerry?
  4. Snatch rules. Nice shout, there.
  5. Caley doesn't have play calling experience either
  6. If the offense takes off and Caley gets a Liam Coen'd into a HC job, Jerrod will probably finally get his OC job. While Stroud likely wanted him to get the job this time, I don't think you could justify that with him being in this same offense last year

  8. Yea, Mixon was really good this year By the way, presumably we'll be running much more duo and gap runs, and so Pierce might be unlocked Although it's a loaded RB draft so it wouldn't surprise me of we took a guy in round 4 or 5 who'd normally go round 3
  9. I don't think you want him on this contract. If you want him, it's if they have to cut him and he clears waivers
  10. It’s also position where they stash “ideas” and X’s and O’s guys
  11. He should give more ownership and pre-snap ability to the QB and layers to the passing game than the Shanahan side of the tree The McVay background means a lot of window dressing to get to the same plays, while the Patriots background means they have pretty much every play in the playbook. Both backgrounds are heavy in game-planning and scouting I expect more "at you" runs like duo and less outside zone

    2025 NFL Draft

    Brugler thinks after the top five or so guys, the next 15 could go in any order without anyone really blinking, and then the 21-50 are similarly fluid (I think DJ said somewhere that 20-60 are much closer than normal, which echoes that)

    2025 NFL Draft

    They’ll draft a WR in the first with Rice coming back and Worthy emerging?

    Brugler said it wouldn’t shock him if Green goes as high as #7

    2025 NFL Draft

    There's so many draft twitter accounts at the senior bowl that there's at least one person vouching for every player at the practices. Kind of a funny dynamic. Not everyone can have a good day. With a few exceptions, I'm mostly sticking to what DJ and Brugler say For instance, there's a ton of people talking up Jaxson Dart. On yesterday's podcast, DJ said something like "not the best QB group, no one is really standing out, Dart looks fine". Also, as Nate Tice likes to point out, almost all offensive players from that system who get drafted high end up busting

    2025 NFL Draft

    I think Walter Nolen is senior-bowling his way out of Houston's draft spot at #25
  22. I'm saying that bobby is underestimating our light-loafer's ability to handle double teams
  23. He held up well against double teams in the run game in the playoff
  24. They still have Mike Bobo at OC

    2025 NFL Draft

    It's a hit rate thing, trying to make drafting more scientific and less art Teams have various "measurables" thresholds at different positions that have to be met to spend a certain value of draft pick. Arm length for OTs, hand size for QBs, max throwing velocity for QBs, arm length for outside corner, short shuttle for ILB, short shuttle for S, three cone for edge, etc They have data that shows players who meet these thresholds have a higher rate of "hitting" than those who don't, so if you filter out the players who don't meet those thresholds, theoretically your drafting should improve. Combine the improved hit rate with focusing on the more valuable positions early, and you should be doing much better than how teams were drafting in the 1990s, at the very least, although if every team is doing it to some degree, is there really an edge? Another way to think about it is these measurables are rare in humans, so draft the players with the rare measurables earlier, and then there should be more players available later in the draft with more common measurables to choose from, and missing later in the draft hurts you less Some teams are all-in on this, while others are pretty lax about it Regarding Banks, I don't see why he can't be Rashawn Slater, who's been a good NFL LT when healthy, and if he were in this draft with the knowledge of how he's played in the NFL (ignoring injuries), he'd probably go top five Another thing to consider is interior OL (which apparently some teams view Banks and even Campbell as) are becoming more valuable because there are more dominant DLs and more difficult to deal with interior stunts than ever before, and the contracts for the top guards tracks with that
