    what would be worse...accepting a lil less value than you should get for a traade down, or picking a qb just cuz you feel you have too and have him bust, suck for 3-4 years, go through two coaching staffs, and just overall be a crappy team.

    None of us will know who ends up being the best, and I totally agree with Whis being a moron etc. That said, we can't draft based on what's best for "Whis" because there is a good chance he will be long gone in a year or two. I still think they go WR or QB first. I just can't see them going with a D lineman with a #2.

    True, but what if LW is average....Better yet, what if LW is dead tired from being on the field all day because our offense sucks. Not even JJ Watt can make Houston a winning team without an Offense....

    if lw is average its still better than wasting 3 years on a bust qb.

    Maybe so...But he isn't the lock everyone says he is....Just like neither QB is. High risk, high reward. At #2, he is a boring pick...and we will hands down continue to suck next year. I still think there is a great potential that they take WR or even OLB (I know, go ahead and nuke me already...lol)

    Drafting a qb is the hardest position to find success at so I won't say if I think they are going be elite or not. I think they both possess that potential but potential is not always fulfilled. They happen to play a position where they get the ball every play so they have the biggest impact of any player on the team warranting a higher selection due to supply and demand in a qb driven league.

    Yes I think cooper is elite in stocked we draft class. I have him slightly ahead of DGB and white. This is solely my opinion I'm just saying I don't think Williams is elite. I see Cooper, Beasley, Fowler, Shelton, and Gurley as the elite prospects OL prospects and QB aside.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What I think and what a GM thinks are two different things. There are 32 GM and they all have varying opinions on prospects and all teams will have different draft boards. Cleveland may think mariota is elite while San Diego does not. Just have to find the one team that is willing to move up for their guy get adequate compensation and make it happen.

    It's fine that you want LW and I don't. I can see your reasoning behind it I just happen to disagree is all. No harm no foul.

    How so? Either way we suck. To what magnitude we suck is moot point. Is there more pride in finishing 4-12 than 2-14. Not in my eyes. It's a QB driven league. You need to do whatever it takes to find your franchise guy. Letting past failures dictate our future picks is playing scared. Everyone is going to miss on QB's...some teams get lucky and keep hitting but not taking a qb is like the Michael Jordan quote you miss every shot you don't take. No qb no super bowl so you better keep trying to get one. Maybe they think mett can be that guy. But if they don't and they still pass on a qb out of fear this front office is worse than I thought.

    well lw gives us the option at upgrading qb each of the next three years....mariota is tied to us for three years or so.
