Inigo Montoya Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Beane seemed to kick the tires hard on AB last year, if he could land Hopkins for a high draft pick this year we would be In the drivers seat in the AFCE. Please, for the love of God Beane, do your black magic, pick up your phone, call Bill O’Brien and swindle him out of Nuk!!!

BillsFan17 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 His contract is not too bad, however, the cost it would take to get Hopkins...might be way too steep. Obviously I'm not about to say you can get Hopkins in this draft, but with how good this draft look at WR and how good next years look at WR... might be a little hesitant to dish out the capital from A-Z to acquire him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Quote File This Under You Never Know It might be just pre-draft chatter, but two teams over the weekend told me to watch Houston and DeAndre Hopkins, who has three years and a reasonable $40 million left on his contract, and who’d cause only a $3-million cap hit to the Texans if they traded him. Houston is currently in draft hell, without a top-50 pick in 2020 and 2021, and coach Bill O’Brien has huge needs to fill on his offensive line, in the secondary and overall youth on the front seven; J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus will play this year at 31 and 30. What could hurt O’Brien if he’s serious about moving Hopkins is he’ll play this year at 28, and he wasn’t as explosive last year as he’d been . . . and the fact that this is one of the best years in history for wideouts in the draft. How tempting Hopkins would be, though, to teams with cap money. The Patriots, at 23, would be a fascinating match (they might need a mid- or late-round pick back with Hopkins), or the Niners at 31, Giants at 36 or Dolphins at 39. Houston’s need across the roster is big, and it’d take a big pick to pry Hopkins. Over the last three years, Hopkins has 15 more catches, 14 more touchdowns and 12 fewer dropped passes than the great Julio Jones. Pretty tempting to consider. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/03/16/nfl-coronavirus-free-agency-draft-cba-fmia-peter-king/ King seems to think a single high pick would do it.

njbuff Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I could see the Bills shock us all and trade a 4th round pick to the Browns for OBJ. Would anything surprise you at this point?

JMF2006 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I really like Hopkins. He has a very large catch radius and can make his QB look good.

BOB has only had 5 winning seasons, 4 playoff appearances, and 2 playoff wins since becoming the HC of the Texans 6 years ago. He also has a better record as an HC than McD. But folks will laugh because he made the playoffs with Hoyer, Mallett, Weeden, Osweiler, Savage and Yates at QB. What a terrible HC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I hope we're all over this. I dont think the asking price will be as high as some here are willing to offer. Texans obviously want to move him to free up cap space ($15M/yr). I think that might knock his price down to a 2nd and another pick. Or at least I can dream.

They've traded away all of their picks (which is why the idea of a Hopkins trade is even being mentioned) and they're nowhere near being a Super Bowl contender. O'Brien is a fine coach (though he makes terrible in-game decisions too frequently, as evidenced by the wacky ending to our playoff game) but his team-building has left a lot to be desired.

SCBills Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Texans are low on picks and hard against the cap once they have to pay Watson. There seems to be some "there" there, as this isn't the first time his name has been rumored. I'd give up this years 1st and next years 1st. No question. Deandre Hopkins was the difference in our WC game, and immediately takes us to that contender to the Chiefs level in the AFC. We're set up well with cap space, and this FO's ability to hit on picks in the middle round, to make this move.

I'm with you. He is their best offensive weapon, is a great guy, and is not a problem for them in any way. Their QB is hitting his prime years and keeping play makers around him should be a high priority. Sometimes threads like this one or similar crazy stories from sports writers seem like a waste of everyone's time and energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
