McShay's Top 10 Best Drafts (Re: Texans)

[57stratdawg]

Houston Texans

I don't know that many more teams did more with less than Houston. The Texans didn't pick until No. 68 -- because of the Deshaun Watson and Brock Osweiler deals -- but I loved the value they got. Justin Reid could be a starting safety (especially after Houston lost Marcus Gilchrist) and I had a late first- or early second-round grade on him. Martinas Rankin is raw but will compete for a spot on the offensive line and I'd expect him to win a starting guard spot. Jordan Akins isn't going to be a starter, but he can be a No. 2 pass-catching tight end. Keke Coutee seemed to be in the end zone every time I turned on the tape and held a coveted spot on my All-Satellite team. And Jordan Thomas has football character questions, but good traits. A great draft, especially considering their first-round pick was basically Watson.

'Football' character questions?

Must feel he dropped all those balls on purpose**

I haven't paid much attention to our TE play unless the ball is thrown their way (which was about twice per game). Maybe he took some plays off. No clue.

Just when you thought you had hear it all this guy brings out "football character questions". I demand to know whose fault this is to have recruited a guy with weak character, was it his parents, his HS coaches or Mullen? ***

They drafted a dude named KeKe Coutee? That dude better hope for a long career. No way he gets hired to do anything else with that name.

I think I know what he means. I can think of 4-5 times last year when he was running over the middle and Fitz put it in his numbers and he heard footsteps when there weren't any. Don't think he likes contact. Just a guess tho.

His love for the game has come into question more than once.

I’ve heard a few talking heads talk about his lack of blocking ability at his size. Maybe that’s a football character issue.
