I mean, you could argue Stingley was the "safer" value pick as he was hurt and considered by far the best DB in the class for two years. Tyree has better film than Anderson. Much more dominant and I think he jumps out more in regards to physical ability. Anderson is just more consistent.
I honestly don't even know how I would feel about that. Gets injured alot... but when he plays the Ravens who are a much better organization win games.
Obviously. But the kool aid of this team going from a 2 win team into the .500 realm and being out of reach of next years crop is a pipe dream IMO. It will get better (hopefully), but there are still holes all over the place. Skill positions, run defense, QB, IOL, CB ... those all wont get fixed this year and scheme will only take you so far. DeMeco signed a 6 year deal for a reason. edit: and the run on QBs this year will solve the hole for several bottom dwellers who will convince themselves they have their guy. What other team could conceivably find themselves at the top next year and need a QB after this draft theoretically? I think what will happen is one team set at the position will flounder for a myriad of reasons and set themselves up to receive a ludicrous haul for the trade. Houston could be one of the teams that are positioned to make such an offer and if not for Williams - plan B & C rank favorably with anyone from this draft.
You know what I find odd and sad at the same time is the fait accompli that comes with this team every time they are set up to take a QB at the top. There never seems to be a consensus for us. Happened with the inaugural draft, the Mario draft, the Clowney draft and now this year. I'll agree this year offers better prospects than the others, but still leaves alot to be desired in terms of comfort.
AR would probably be your best bet based solely on mimicking what Philly and Buffalo do with their QBs. Biggest issue would be our terrible defense.
Lance said this morning he’s now leaning Will Anderson at 2. Also said 0% chance Levis is the pick at 2.
Actually, this team won 3 games and could easily have won 7. They had 4 or 5 losses by 1 score. It is not unthinkable this team could win 6 to 8 games.
Lance is guessing. He doesn't have sources inside the Texans and he has said as much. Treat him just like the rest of the NFL pundits. I am going to stick with Ian Rappaport. QB until proven otherwise.
Rankins, two Pro Bowl LB's, and edge from this draft. 49'ers safety to pair with Pitre. Grabbed a much more modern defensive mind. I think our defense will be middle of the pack at worse this year.
Maybe, maybe not. But to his credit, he nailed their first round picks last year and he was the first analyst to really push the "Texans aren't taking Stroud or likely any QB who isn't Young at 2" narrative. I'd trust him before I'd trust any other draft expert on what the Texans are going to do tomorrow.
Hard for me to say he was “safer” given his injuries though. Unfortunately we are already seeing that spill. Not to mention he hadn’t played nearly as well as he did after busting out on the scene as a freshman. As far as Anderson vs Tyree, I can’t say Tyree has better film but the physical ability is there for sure. I think Will Anderson can be much more disruptive consistently which I would rather have. To me, Tyree would be more like a Mario/Clowney pick where they could really show out in a game but then completely disappear the next.
