DA Draft Buzz April 18: QB not a lock for the Texans in Round 1?

Once the Houston Texans lost out on the services of Tony Romo, who announced his retirement several weeks ago, everyone automatically assumed the team would select a quarterback in the first round. And the name bandied about has been Patrick Mahomes of Texas Tech.

Yet there’s a faction of people I’ve spoken with who are close to the organization and believe the Texans won’t draft a quarterback in the first round for a variety of reasons.

Foremost is the belief that head coach Bill O’Brien, as well as the Texans front office, must win in 2017. The front office can’t risk using the 25th selection of the draft on a developmental quarterback -- the team must select a player who will offer production quickly this season.

They point to Houston drafting a left tackle or cornerback in the first round rather than a signal caller. Both are positions of need, and the players selected could have an immediate impact.

There’s also a feeling that Tom Savage will be seamless in his transition to being an every-week starter. He understands the system, has the pedigree and -- most importantly -- has the trust of O’Brien.

Could the Mahomes-to-Houston story be a smoke screen? If Mahomes is available when the Texans are called to the clock, will they pass up his long-term potential for short-term gains? Many feel the answer is yes to both questions.

Prediction: Eagles select DE Charles Harris.

I think they will be in a spot where the best CB will be off the board and some of the top CBs will be available into round 2 so they take BPA.

I could see them taking Harris. I also don't think they'll go CB unless lattimore is there. Jones would've been perfect but then he got injured. And the eagles love their first round DLs. I could see Harris or McCaffrey as dark horse picks

Disgusting

I wouldn't mind Harris, top CB on board round 2, and Jones as a 4th round pick if he lasts.

Mixon in 3rd round let's do this!

My Taco Bell never and I mean never gives me hot sauce unless I remind them like 5 times.

For that reason alone I stop going to Taco Bell.

Or they give you like two packets

My girlfriend likes to use a shitload of hot and fire sauce on everything so I have to make sure there's extra or else I don't get any sauce at all!
 
Finally beat BOTW.

Well, I beat the final boss and saw the credits, anyway. Was looking for the last memory when he comes flying in looking for a fight... kind of underwhelming as a boss, IMO.

But in summary, it's a 11/10 game. If anything the 97 metacritic is too low!

Incredibly Naive
I've always wondered what his mindset was... like did he sit in his cell realizing everything he threw away? When did it settle in? I remember when he was first jailed there were reports that he seemed at peace with it, like he was almost happier and more relaxed on the inside given how much trouble he was getting himself in outside. Then the pats win 2 more superbowls, his kid continues to grow, and the world forgets who he was. I wonder if this was a long time coming, or something that just came up? What was the catalyst after all this time to cause him to do this? Either way it's tough to mourn such a shitty human, but it's also a reminder of how tragic this whole story was.
