Official 2019 NFL Draft - Round 1 Thread

[Blitzwood]

With Dillard gone, Jawaan Taylor from Florida is a no brainer here, he was rated top 10 on some boards.

Texans take OT Tytus Howard of Alabama St. Could have waited for #52 or #53 to take him, I'm afraid.

This guy couldn't wait until the second round? Damn.

These dumbasses make me have to apologize to my Raider fan friends.

The murga guys quit playing and are packing up to go home.

We take a project in the 1st round?? Better draft a quarterback in the second round because we’re gonna need a good backup.

I absolutely hate how the Texans try to get cute in the first round, 🤦****♂️

They take the 50th overall player when the 10th overall player was still available.

It's like they didn't learn anything from Davenport.

Who knows, maybe this guy is less raw than we fear.

Dillard was going to be the pick - they never expected him to be close to 23. But there are some in the Org that think Howard will eventually be better.

Howard wouldn't have lasted until their picks in the 2nd.

Taylor off the board (for a 1st anyway) due to knee issues

Yes that's exactly what happened because by the time the Texans pick @ 53 no left tackles would be left, probably not even Greg Little who the Texans along with everybody has cooled off on in recent months.
Another thing is that Jawaan Taylor and Cody Ford are both right tackles.
Lots of folks will question this pick just like the NY Giants drafting a second-round rated QB with the 6th overall pick in the Draft will be severely second guessed.

Apparently there was no viable trade up or down scenario. Up was going to cost too much...and down was going to be too far down for their comfort. The Philly-Balt trade had been agreed upon for a while if Dillard and Brown were still there.

The Texans could still trade up from their second round pick.

According to AL.com, Howard was a high school quarterback who then switched to tight end when arriving at Alabama State. Then he outgrew that position to become an offensive tackle - 6-5, 322lbs! That tells me two things - he must have a lot of quickness to have QB and TE skills under that body and secondly, he'll be dead by the time he's 25 if he keeps adding weight that fast. Better hire someone to keep him away from the barbecue joints, fried chicken shacks and mexican food places or he's going to become Un Madre Grande.

So are we going to start the the fire the GM thread?

[Blitzwood]

After a little research, sounds like some teams believe Taylor has a miniscus tear, and possibly back issues. Honestly I never researched him much because I figured he’d be long gone by the time we pick, most mocks had Taylor going in the 7-15 range. Hard to know what’s true and what’s bs.

That being said, I still would have preferred Ford, Little, or Risner over Howard.

Hopefully he turns into a HOF.

Props to bikerack for calling it.

The Raiders are absolutely killing it, all great picks.

Eh, we didn't know if Duane Brown was going to be any good way back when, so I'm gonna give Howard a chance.... But man, drafting bustos in the 1st round will get you canned fast...

Chuck: I have some questions for you re: your ex-patness. Nothing too probing, I hope. I am toying with the idea of a move to Puerto Rico - wondering if you wouldn't mind answering a few questions via PM...
