    Maybe Jeudy or Lamb will fall to us.

    That's a bizarre move for the Texans. Understood that they need draft capital but they now have significant money tied into their RB position with two often injured deep threats at receiver and that's it.

    What the actual fuck?!? I think this will haunt the Texans, Nuk is one of the best WR's in the league.

    Hopkins is literally amazing and Johnson has been a huge bust since signing his big deal. Probably the worst move I have seen in awhile, unless Hopkins told Houston he wanted out? Still makes no sense. I have felt Bill O'Brien should be fired the last couple of seasons. Then that Bills game happened and I was sure he would be. Then the Chiefs game happened and I thought it was guaranteed. Instead, he is going to run them into the ground.

    With Kyler Murray getting a true #1 WR in Nuk, this definitely helps either or both to be there at 11.

    This pisses me off. I would have done Bell, 2020 3rd, 2021 4th for Hopkins and Hyde.

    Lamb + Jeudy will both be there at 11. No doubt in my mind. Arizona is 100% taking an OT at 8 now. Hopefully we can get 2 FA OL which will allow us to get after Jeudy or Lamb at 11.

    Like I said earlier Houston is just a shit show the way they are run. Also O'Brien is way overrated. A lot of individual talent on that roster but just can't put it together. They play in an awful division so they're always in contention to win it. Smoke and mirrors. A very under performing organization who just let go of a first ballot Hall of Famer and they didn't even get a first rounder in return!!? Seriously WTF! Larry Fitz now gets to pass the torch to Nuk and he will put up sick numbers in that offense with Murray for years to come. Arizona wins this trade.

    They should've been 11-5, 12-4ing that division for the past five years. I understand they've had shitty QB play until Watson but still. You're right.

    Bill O'Brien sucks. He's basically been the acting GM for the past year or so. He's going to crash and burn that franchise.

    The only thing I can think of is if Houston is going to sign Amari Cooper now.

    Texans' best receiver now is Fuller who seems to always be injured, they are banking on Johnson to return to a level he showed few seasons ago, which I think is unlikely.

    That's such a great move for the Cardinals. They are doing it right. They are giving their young QB all the chances in the world to be great. From head coach (which we've botched) to weapons (which we're in the process of botching). If they can get him an upgrade at OL... watch out.

    I’d just like to remind this board that I was screaming from the hilltops to go out and get Kliff Kingsbury and was told I needed to calm down. He’s basically transformed the Cardinals offense within a year. Meanwhile Darnold is in year 3 and we’re still putzing around trying to figure it out.

    Not sure why you quoted me, but I was also on the Kliff train.

    I was admittedly shaky about him as a head coach but was fully on board with him as an OC. He's done very well, and lord knows he's done better than what we ended up with. Just so frustrating to see other teams get it right while we continue to get it wrong. Hopefully this is the start of not getting it wrong.

    It was his first year with arguably a worse roster than the Jets and a rookie QB. They’re going make a huge jump this year.

    He was 5 games under .500 with two winning seasons in 6 years at Texas Tech.

    He's now proving those numbers at 5 games under in the NFL. I'm not sure why everyone on this board is in love with this guy. He didn't win back to back NCAA championships at Florida State or something.
