I'd be surprised too. I personally don't know too much about Polk or Hilliard, but apparently Pierre Thomas is coming to Houston tomorrow for a visit. If he's in good shape I don't think he leaves. I know he was pretty good playing with the Saints for quite a few years.

Yeah, if the Texans get Pierre Thomas, you guys will be okay. Solid back with good hands, good vision, & who can get the gritty, dirty yards in the trenches if necessary. Hang in there Quiz. It's a long season which hasn't even started yet. 

 

Aside from my jokes about groin surgery, I do feel horrible for Foster who I admire a lot on a personal level. Get better soon man because I love watching you run when you're healthy.

Hillard was part of the LSU RB rotation related to Dalton Hillard. I'm not sure how long you followed the game Dalton was pretty good for the Saints. Kenny's a big short yardage back good hands slow 40. I'm interested to see Polk. He never got a shot in Philly. Had a good game a kick off for a TD. Here's what they said when he was coming out

The two most significant things that stand out are his running style and speed. Trying to prepare for Polk is tough. Linebackers are big enough but too slow, and defensive backs are fast enough but too small. The team that selects Polk will benefit immensely in all phases of offense

Polk could be the sleeper. I will be watching for fantasy purposes. Blue averaged 3.1 a carry last yr struggled in pass protection not much interst from me.

Polk in 3 yrs of limited action 4.7 was starting to get red zone work in Philly. He was stuck in crowded backfield. Could be something for fantasy I will be watching.

Bad break for the Texans. Big break for the Colts (while you never want to see someone hurt) sounds like he will miss the Colts game in Houston. That's a big road test I was worried about. While still going to be a hard game not having Foster tilt things in the Colts favor IMO.

You never like to see this happen to anyone. Sucks for Houston fans. If there was ANY doubt beforehand about the Colts walking away with this division, I think this pretty much sealed it. The Texans just aren't the same without Foster on the field.

My condolences to all Houston fans, I think you just waved goodbye to a wild card spot.

From the sound of it, they are not getting him. They wanted tob pay him veteran minimum and he wanted more. Couldn't agree on a contract.

      Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion

      By smittywerb · Posted

      I just knew there was going to be a run on WRs later in the first.   welp, hoping we trade up for either AD (character concerns and all) or Troy Franklin.   there is no way we can leave this draft not drafting some type of burner in this deep WR draft.     Welp, can’t be too mad.  We can’t pick ‘em all and I’m ok with who we picked.

      I haven't paid much attention to the draft and looking OR making mocks 'cause with Ballard you usually will be disappointed...... like most on this Forum are tonight. Lol   But I wasn't surprised by a defensive linemen being picked. I didn't think he would go CB or trade up for a elite receiver or Bowers would fall to 15. And honestly I know noting about Latu  except a few highlights I seen switching from the draft and Yankee game.  I liked the highlights but not crazy about the conference he played in and  his medical history.   I was hoping for Bowers but not surprised he's not a colt especially when Denver chose the last QB and the raiders were right behind them. I heard the raiders liked Bowers and with no QB left to possibly sway them I had a feeling they would grab him. We all know it was unlikely Ballard would trade up for him(even if he had him high on his board?)   Kudos for the bears getting a great prospect, I hope they don't mess him up.  And to the Patriots for getting imo the second best QB. The Falcons getting Pence for life after Cousins(which may be sooner than later) I think was a good move.

      I mean, i kinda ma because in year 4 Trey had 13.5 sacks and probably way more pressures than paye has had in year 4.  Paye has one more year to show he can be the pass rusher we need.     and only reason why Trey was being compared to Paye is because someone else brought him.  There is honestly no comparison when it comes to their year 4s

      5 best remaining WR’s according to PFF   WR ADONAI MITCHELL, TEXAS. Mitchell's fluidity and size make him a tough matchup for anyone, especially in the red zone. ...  WR TROY FRANKLIN, OREGON. ...  WR LADD MCCONKEY, GEORGIA. ...  WR KEON COLEMAN, FLORIDA STATE. ...  WR ROMAN WILSON, MICHIGAN.

      Falcons probably drafted Penix because they liked him, more than most other players because of the importance of QB position as well.   Note that They didn't draft JJ McCarthy so it shows Falcons staff definitely had their preference, inclination and liking to his QB play more than anyone else.   I think the thumb rule is if a team likes a QB very much, there are chances it won't happen again sooner in future, and even if they like few QBs in near future they may not be in position to draft the players they love.   So, general rule is always draft a QB if you like and when you can - same with Lions last year, and I hope Vikings did the same this draft.
