They also ran the ball a ton last year, and Dalton Schultz will get some looks his way, too. I'm assuming Diggs ends up in Dallas with his brother after this season

... who have just signed Ceedee Lamb to a monster extension....

Diggs will need to learn to be a team first player sooner than later. Maybe he's happy to do that in Houston or Dallas but for some reason he wasn't prepared to do it in Buffalo?

He was and likely still is a great player but either way we don't need to worry about him any more. He's no longer a key to this team's success.

Plus Tank Dell, who will command a decent target share.

Here are the 2023 Snap% for the Texans top 5 WRs:

Collins - 59%
Woods - 59%
Dell - 44%
Brown - 41%
Metchie - 27%

Diggs is used to getting a lot more snaps and targets than the Texans gave to any of their WRs last year. It was an "everyone eats" approach. And Diggs wants to eat a lot.

How much did injury play into that though? I think Collins, Woods and Dell all spent some time injured.....if memory serves.

All five of them missed games last year.

But, it will be really hard to predict who will be healthy and who won't be this year.

They kept 7 WRs to start the season to the Bills 5 WRs last season, too.

They have a lot of WRs to feed no matter how you slice it.

Let's see how the season plays out....but right now, my instinct is to say: I would HATE HATE HATE spending our top 2 picks and 3 of our top 4 on the D-line.

And again right now -- my instinct is to say that we might be looking at CB with our 1st pick, or certainly with one of our 1st 3. Douglas is a FA after the season, and Benford is FA after 2025 (as is Elam, for that matter).

And while I'm more optimistic than some/most regarding our WR room, there's most certainly the possibility that we're going to need to add another high-talent WR next year.

Little surprised no Von and Mack (C) and there was no one from S/T named. Does show how many vets they lost this year.

Hamlin is a little surprising, but has earned it. And they have Edwards ready if needed.

It's way too early for draft talk... But at this point it's surely OL all the way?

How much will they miss Morse? Is McGovern a C? Is Edwards a full time starter? Can Brown stay healthy & prove last year wasn't a fluke? Will he get extended? Dawkins is the wrong side of 30, will he start to decline? Will they rely om the run game more than in years past? Will Allen be as bullet proof as he has been thus far & will they need to better protect him in future?

More questions there than the rest of the squad put together imo ...

I looked at our OL depth chart yesterday and it was a little bit scary, I know they like Anderson (swing guard and backup C) and Van Demark (backup LT) but still. They are carrying developmental RT Tackle (Grable), and Van Pran-Granger (C). They also have some guys on the PS that could be elevated (Gouriage, Clapp, Edwards). Seems to me a vet tackle might still being looked at if one pops up.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE spending all those picks on both lines. That

Offensive line depth and futures is a bit scary. NT/1DT is even more scary. Jones goes down and then it's Johnson, and that's basically it.
 
Yeah, it's WAY too early for draft talk. There's a whole season of NCAA football to be played. We have no idea where we're going to be drafting (realistically could be anywhere from something like 14th to 32nd)

Talking draft in September is what fans of bad franchises do who know (and in some cases hope) they'll be drafting near the top. I'll leave my editorializing of what I think of those fans hoping for losses in September to your imagination :laugh:

I get sick of the draft talk even when there's no football to discuss, you can imagine how sick of it I get when there is lol.

Hamlin shouldn't be surprising.

He played over 80% of the defensive snaps in 2022, he has been the guy that has practiced next to Rapp the most all summer and throughout camp, and he far and away has the most time on task in this defense in the safety room.

Edwards and Bishop have missed way too much time to overcome that advantage that Damar has.

Well, didn't quite get the pre-season they wanted, health wise, but nice to see the injury report so short heading into the season.

Let's just hope they don't come out sluggish and slow because home to Arizona is as close to a "must-win" a week 1 game gets. Home to New England might be the only easier game on the entire schedule. Arizona's offense isn't awful with Murray but their defense very well could be so they can't come out and stall out against them.
