Buying H-Town Merch

Probably a long shot, but I like some of the H-Town stuff and it’s only available at the team shop. I live in Pennsylvania, so obviously I can’t make it there to purchase. If anyone is able to buy, I’d pay shipping and a little extra. submitted …

Can you believe how we’ve fallen since the Chiefs playoff game? A conversation.

Texans fan: You know, we were up 24-0 on the eventual Super Bowl champions. The ending sucked, but there’s some promise there. Plus, we have Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, J.J. Watt. It looks good.

Man from future: Enjoy it now.

Texans fan: Oh, I am. Why do you say that?

Man from future: It gets bad.

Texans fan: How bad?

Man from future: Take your pick. Where do you want to start?

Texans fan: Uhh…you said pick, so let’s start with our pick. Where do we end up picking next season?

Man from future: 3rd. Sort of. As you know, Miami gets that pick.

Texans fan: How would a Watson-Hopkins connection end up that bad?

Man from future: Do you like DeAndre Hopkins as a Texan?

Texans fan: Yeah, obviously.

Man from future: Sorry, man. He’s gone.

Texans fan: For real? How?

Man from future: Traded to Arizona. David Johnson and a 2nd.

Texans fan: And what else?

Man from future: That’s literally it.

Texans fan: What the hell? Is BOB still the coach.

Man from future: Nope. Fired after 0-4 start. You had Romeo Crennel coach.

Texans fan: Okay, okay, he’s a good guy.

Man from future: And then you hire the Ravens’ WR Coach.

Texans fan: The Ravens WR Coach?! Who the hell is that?

Man from future: David Culley.

Texans fan: No idea. Okay, okay, well, we have J.J. Watt at least. He’s a Texans legend.

Man from future: You know what I said about DeAndre Hopkins and where he ended up?

Texans fan: Yeah?

Man from future: Same place. Headed to Arizona.

Cardinals fan: Wow, that’s super crazy. J.J. and DeAndre both?

Man from future: Yes, sir.

Texans fan: Well, if DeAndre is gone, at least we have Will Fuller.

Man from future: Gone. Free agency. Signed with Miami.

Texans fan: Wow, what the hell? At least Deshaun Watson can turn anyone into a quality player.

Man from future: Sure, I guess. If he actually wanted to be a Texan.

Texans fan: Wait, what?

Man from future: Yeah. There’s this guy, Jack Easterby.

Texans fan: Okay.

Man from future: He and Cal McNair start doing things on their own and piss off Deshaun Watson, who requests a trade.

Texans fan: Are you serious? Well, I guess that’s not the end of the world. I guess they could smooth it over. It’s happened before in Houston sports.

Man from future: It gets worse.

Texans fan: Worse?! How?

Man in future: Deshaun Watson is also being accused by several massage therapists of sexual assault.

Texans fan: Deshaun Watson?! The guy who donated his first paycheck to the cafeteria workers with the Texans? Our quarterback? We’re talking about Deshaun Watson.

Man from future: Yes.

Texans fan: Jesus…

Man from future: …is very important around here. You’ll find out.

Texans: So what else? What else will go wrong?

…dramatic pause…

Man from future: Wait and see.

Did a GM Mock Draft Here on Reddit as Texans. How did I do?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OPPE0e8QjKu-akw9cJrNfyYGqg5a2plHD0grJy4Kxfs/htmlview#gid=120880662

Texans here. Went in hoping for Reagor-Uche second round, but that didn’t happen. Other notes – I tried a few trade-ups in the third for Madibuike and Elliott, but they went. I waited too long on Aiyuk and Pittman in the second, which bit me in the butt. In the end, I ended up trading around a lot. Here’s what I did:

TRADE: HOU trades 2.40 to BUF for 2.54, 4.128, and 2021 3rd Why?: Reagor went above me and I wanted out. Picked up draft capital for next year and an extra pick this year.

2.54 – Terrell Lewis, EDGE, Alabama Why?: A versatile EDGE rusher for a defense lacking ‘oomph’

TRADE: HOU trades 2.57 to DEN for 3.77 and 3.97 Why?: Picking up more draft capital for the team.

TRADE: HOU trades 3.77, 3.90, 4.111 and 7.240 to CIN for 3.65, 4.107, and 7.215 Why?: We started the day with round 3. Gave me a chance to negotiate for the top WR on the board, even if he was a slot WR. I grabbed an outside WR later.

3.95 – Van Jefferson, WR, Florida Why?: And here’s my other WR.

4.107 – Logan Stenberg, G, Kentucky Why?: Strong run blocking mauler. Best OG on board

TRADE: HOU trades 4.128 to NYJ for 5.158 and 6.191 Why?: Again, more draft capital.

5.158 – Benito Jones, DT, Mississippi Why?: D.J. Reader replacement

5.171 – Alohi Gilman, S, Notre Dame Why?: Third safety and immediate special teams contributor

6.191 – Stanford Samuels III, CB, Florida State Why?: One of my favorite later round CBs

7.215 – Colby Parkinson, TE, Stanford Why?: He’s a WR/TE hybrid mix sort of, but he could fit our offense.

TRADE: HOU trades 7.248 to WASH for OT Geron Christian Why?: They put him on the block. He can be a project OT for us

7.250 – Michael Warren II, RB, Cincinnati Why?: Power back for the offense

So, to sum up:

EDGE Terrell Lewis

WR K.J. Hamler

WR Van Jefferson

OG Logan Stenberg

DT Benito Jones

S Alohi Gilman

CB Stanford Samuels III

TE Colby Parkinson

RB Michael Warren II

Plus, OT Geron Christian from Washington
