I won't list all of the recent draft disappointments because I know everyone here knows them all too well. I'll just point out that Strong, whatever his potential, whatever his ceiling, could barely see the field. And the team obviously doesn't believe in him otherwise they wouldn't have drafted Miller. But the team traded up to get a guy that couldn't get on the fking field. That is exactly the sort of drafting incompetence we see year after year after year.

I don't mind the Texans drafting two receivers in the first three rounds but I do mind them having traded up for a receiver the year before that they obviously have no confidence in.

I wasn't arguing for 2 WRs. I was saying it was dumb to say we didn't need any WRs in the first 3 rounds. I think 2 WRs is smart if we get a great player out of the 2 and dumb if we don't. Drafting is a results based game.
