That was Kenyon Green bad picking. Value and expectations. So many better options and he’d have been there later if we felt like a project. You don’t draft projects with our team as-is in the 2nd round
So he opted for a backup TE (at best) instead? With what we just saw with the Rams last night, safe to say that coaches don’t have carte Blanche with draft pics.
They wanted to trade down but didn't have a partner. They were not sure he would make it to the 4th. This guy is a better pass catcher than his numbers show. Plus, he can move.
After 1sr 2 picks, who cares. They have their scouting report. Sure, they could have waited but their 3rd rd pick is gone. They like him better then ALL the other available options. Stupid pick? D grade or worst pick so far? Possible. So is this the reach of the night? Maybe. But remember, this is still a crabshoot and they have the dice. You camnot say TE is a major need but they STILL took this supposed 13th best avalible on some list. Maybe they are playing 4D chess.
Dumb pick. Houston pro sports teams typically have head-scratching drafts followed by head-scratching seasons. I wager I could do better. You could do better. Almost anyone could do better. We have a very arrogant and not very good GM. The proof is in the pudding.
Or have that threat to make fake running plays viable. Reguardless. Still looks bad but this is the cost fot moving up.... Still would have been reach with original 3rd RD but they took who THEY rated better.
Makes sense with those reports that they had their sights on Sadiq. Not shocked that they went TE in the 2nd but my jaw dropped with who they picked. He looks the part though. Wolverine beard. German, great jeans..acid wash probably
