Anyone else hoping the top 3 QBs go before the Texans pick?

I understand the sentiment but, really, no matter who the Texans pass on 1-22 (I'm still hoping for a tradedown unless a certain one or two guys slip to us), if he has a better career than Osweiler, we will look like fools.

Denver clearly wanted to keep him and he had some very good moments last year so I don't think he's going to become Ryan Leaf or Johnny Highball. A good marker for him is Matt Schaub. We got some serviceable borderline All-Pro years out of Schaub but he always left me thinking he wasn't "the guy" to turn us into champions. Ossie gives me similar vibes. A lot will depend on what O'Brien wants from him and how he will handle setbacks.

But if Ossie turns out to be just ordinary and somebody like Lynch, Cook or Hackenberg takes a team to the Super Bowl, you betcha there will be grumbling. Just the nature of the beast. You can't be too scared to take a chance.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I read this afternoon. I did not have time to post it.
