New Rumor Involving Draft's Top Pick


Recommended Posts

The Houston Chronicle reports the Texans "won't be trading for" QB Ryan Mallett.

Beat writer John McClain is on top of everything Texans. While the dots connect between Mallett and Houston coach Bill O'Brien, Mallett still means a lot to the Patriots as Tom Brady's backup. The Texans have numerous holes to fill and aren't going to deal significant draft pick compensation for a quarterback who has attempted just four career passes and remains an unknown throughout the league. McClain thinks Cleveland's Brian Hoyer would make a better trade target. Like Mallett, Hoyer has history with O'Brien from their New England days.

Yep, old rumor, already debunked

If I was Houston I would trade down in the 2nd round, way down, pick up an extra 3rd and then send the 2nd to New England. As long as Clowney is in the AFC I don't really care at this point. Him going #1 makes it impossible for Dimitroff to trade up, so it's win-win.

What if TD wants Robinson or Mack? Looking like we Still might have to trade up for either of them.

How is it a win-win?

Not so what if they want to trade up for Robinson @ 2 whose to say that isn't on there board as a course of action.

Clowney is in the AFC and Dimitroff can't trade, win-win in my book(Falcons wise).

As far him pulling the trigger on Mack, or Robinson I guess he could still do that. I just don't think he will.

What makes you think TD wouldn't trade up still?
