Yeah, Gurley's practicing with the team this week, and the rumor is that he will be playing on Saturday.

It will be interesting to see which NFL team (if any) will be willing to pick him up, especially if these off-the-field issues continue. He still doesn't seem to understand that his actions have consequences, but it'll be real apparent if he's sitting at the NFL draft, and he never hears his name called.

And even if he does and he enters the pros, daddy can't be by his side 24/7 to make sure he behaves himself.

Winston's antics will cost him money (draft position). But if he doesn't wind up in jail, he'll likely get drafted in a later round. It happens every year -- somebody drops (based on rumors, for whatever reason), and the drafting team gets a "steal" if he pans out.

If Winston's not drafted (unlikely), he's a free agent who get to pick what team he thinks best fits his talents. There are always coaches who think they can "fix" players, and make them productive in their systems.

As a life time Houston Oilers -> Houston Texans / Houston Rockets / Houston Astros fan, I've learned that draft positions are meaningless when it comes to making a winning team.

Not sure I get (or agree) with your point here. Besides, the Rockets won an NBA Title in '94. ....Olijuwon and the "Dream Shake." Remember?

Yeah....in the late '90's and early 2000's Houston teams were great.

Lately, not so much. Last couple of years the Houston Astros have been at the bottom.

Last season the Houston Texans were 2-14. So far they are like 3-3, which I guess I can't complain since this season Texans have done better than last season.

Each year the head coaches of these teams promise us fans that they are rebuilding the team. Great. It just seems like the teams have been rebuilding now for about the last 10 years....

We get these high draft picks, like Jadaveon Clowney, but they don't seem to have a huge impact / improvement for the team.

Or, maybe these high draft picks aren't worth their hype.

When Demeco Ryans left the Texans for the Eagles, I thought that was a weird move, but that season the Eagles made it farther than the Texans. I assume that Demeco saw the writing on the wall early on.

Yes, I remember Olijuwon from his UH 'Phi Slamma Jamma' days.

J. Clowney got hurt in his first game. You have to give him a chance.

JJ Watt was the 11th pick overall. He seems to be working out ok.

Some picks will turn out better than others.

...I totally forgot what this has to do with Jaemis Winston, you'll have to clarify.

Really? I'd seen reports that he was kicked out of school.
