Quote:Yeah he could turn out like Nkemdiche was this year. Worth the risk though I think

Yeah, a safer pick like Bolles that could fill the huge hole with Menelik Watson sucking might be their best option in this draft.

The Texans are on the clock.


 

I'm guessing they'll go Cam Robinson.

Kizer is still on the board.  Why not Kizer-aside from the immediate impact of a non QB?

I like Kizer here as well. They're pretty jam packed on defense. They had a decent running game last year. They've already added some outside pieces to throw the football around to. Bringing in Kizer to compete with Savage and Osweiler seems like the best move at this point in the draft. 

Texans trade their pick to the Jags for a 3rd rounder and pro bowl TE Marcedes Lewis. Jags draft Kizer and land many thumbs.

I could see Kizer as well... it's just that virtually all of the nfl.com guys have the Texans going OT.

Not my pick but if it was!...


"Houston Texans GM Rick Smith is all smiles on the phone as their pick is turned in immediately. 'With the 25th pick in this draft the Houston Texans select Corey Davis WR, Western Michigan'"


Houston would be SCARY at WR

Is it worth being scary at WR if you're OL can't hold up and you don't have a QB who can throw downfield?

The value would be there certainly.

 

Would Houston go to the Run-n-shoot?

 

Houston has gone WR heavy over the past few years, with Hopkins a couple of years ago, and the kids from Notre Dame and Ohio State last year.  One or more of those highly drafted guys would be part time players.

 

That's a lot of investment at WR, especially without a guy to get him the ball. 

I don't think they can live down drafting yet another WR early.

Heck, a LB to replace Cushing is more likely than another WR for them in the first.

Despite the list in the OP the tinhorns pick belongs to Anonymous Anomaly  -  not me.

Houston will pick up Romo and Oline in FA/Draft later on.

Going all in on a playoff run

Texans select Deshone Kizer

 

 DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame 

Height: 6-4. Weight: 230. 

 Projected 40 Time: 4.73. 

Projected Round (2017): 1-2. 
<i> 2/23/17: </i>In this analyst's opinion, Kizer is the top quarterback prospect for the 2017 NFL Draft. He has a better physical skill set than any of Mitch Trubisky, Deshaun Watson and Pat Mahomes. Some league sources have told me they think Kizer is a high first-round talent, while many others are not enthusiastic about Kizer. One playoff general manager told me Kizer has the tools to be the prototypical quarterback prospect but never seemed to put everything together and win. Thus, they graded Kizer on Day 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft. Another general manager felt Kizer was worthy of a late first-round pick. Aside from not winning, sources knock Kizer for his decision-making and lack of consistency. 

Kizer is capable of making beautiful touch passes with superb accuracy and ball placement while being under fire from the pass rush. His field vision can be very good as he moves his eyes through his progressions, even with defenders bearing down on him. Additionally, Kizer has the arm strength to make all the throws and beat good coverage. He consistently shows the ability to drop in accurate touch passes downfield and the mobility to make plays with his feet. Kizer can be an excellent pocket passer. 

Kizer had a number of rough games in 2016, including getting benched against Stanford and facing off against N.C. State in the midst of Hurricane Matthew. He started the 2016 season with a tremendous game against Texas and gave evidence to NFL teams that he could be a future starting quarterback. Kizer lofted in some beautiful passes between defenders against the Longhorns. Kizer also showed excellent decision-making while maintaing poise under the pass rush of Texas. He protected the football and made extraordinary passes into small openings. 

In 2016, Kizer completed 59 percent of his passes for 2,925 yards with 26 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also ran for seven touchdowns. That completion percentage was hurt by the hurricane game against N.C. State and his young wideouts dropping a plethora of well-thrown passes. 2015 was a better year for Kizer as he completed 63 percent of his passes for 2,884 yards with 21 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also ran for 520 yards with 10 scores on the ground. Kizer had a much better supporting cast that season, including a first-round left tackle, Ronnie Stanley; first-round wide receiver, Will Fuller; second-round center, Nick Martin; and third-round running back, C.J. Prosise.

One thumb up. Same idea as Mahomes, hard to give two thumbs up to any QBs in a class this panned. Kizer this late in the 1st is very solid value though, and the Texans can afford to give him the year to sit that he needs. 

Ohhhh [BLEEP]! Bullseye is on the clock for Seattle. Brace yourselves. Epic draft breakdown and analysis is coming.

Literally every olineman in the draft except Ramczyk is available for the Seahawks to pick, they'd have to be slobbering all over themselves to be in that situation.

Cam Robinson a steal here at this point you think?

I would have Feeney, Lamp, Bolles, and then Cam in my queue.
