Quote:the months leading up to the draft did you think bortles would be our pick? or that buffalo would trade up to take watkins? no one had a clue whose targets were whose. we will never know. i just dont like that you or anyone else says with certainty that the texans were not thinking about taking teddy at 33.

 

The problem with assuming Houston was targeting Teddy is that you have to be operating on the assumption that the Texans front office is incompetent.  Any homeless guy could have called it that Seattle would trade out of that pick to a QB needy team so I feel as if Houston would have had an open channel with Seattle to beat any offer they got or if they didn't want to play ball, find a team in front of them to trade with and get their guy if it was to truly be Teddy. 

 

I find it much more likely than not that Houston had no interest in Teddy.

 

This morning, Peter King talked about several teams trying to trade up to 22 to get Manzier.  I'd find it much more feasible that Houston was one of those teams than believing they didn't anticipate someone would jump in at 32 and take a QB.
