    So you didn't hear anything basically.

    Thanks for the disinformation.

    Sorry if I came off rude, it might have just hit me how bad the Texans were this year.

    I honestly am not a scout, but I see one negative about Teddy(lack of size). But have you seen Brady's combine picture, or look at someone like Russel Wilson who is 5'11 on a good day. Either you have it or you don't, and Bridgewater looks like a guy who as sure of a thing as you can get.

    He's just making stuff up, we don't even have a coach yet so there is no way we have a draft strategy yet!

    It would be idiotic to trade down 'because the team needs alot of help'

    lamest reasoning ever.

    For those who don't understand, the NFL is a HC/QB league, and when you have that, ie NE, NO, DEN, GB, Peyton/Dungy when in Indy, SEA, San Fran etc you will be perennial successive franchise.

    Trading down to fill holes will be the worse decision this team can make.

    You have a really good QB ( Teddy B if he declares) available, and hopefully O'Brien joins the band and we have one heck of a start.

    You can trade down the 2nd round pick if teams are desperate, maybe, but not pick 1-1.

    A great HC/QB duo is everything in the NFL.

    This is horrendously simplistic. I have watched Seattle all year. As good as Wilsin is, the team would not be where they are without Lynch and the OL. If you don't have a good OL and the threat of a running game. You will get obliterated in this league regardless of who your QB is.

    I never claimed to have any "inside" info .. just something I heard second hand from someone that works near the texans .. it's a long time till draft day , no need for you pro bridgewater guys to get your panties all bunched up every time something non bridgewater is brought up ..

    Your inside info is that (a) the Texans are looking to trade down and (b) the Texans have no idea what they will do yet.

    terrible post.

    seattle has one of the worst OL's per PFF

    if you have "watched Seattle all year", you would realize what a real franchise qb can do for a team.

    Any chance we can flip picks with St. Louis and take back Bradford? I think O'Brien could help Bradford realize his full potential.

    Just thinking outside the box, bro. I'd prefer Bradford over any QB in this draft except maybe Teddy. He has been in a terrible situation in St. Louis from day 1.

    do your homework.

    bradford makes big time money.

    texans have a schaub cap hit of 10.5mil spread out over the next two years.

    Bradford money + Schaub cap hit = adding to the cap problem.

    texans have to get low cost production from the qb position over the next 2 seasons. (i.e. rookie qb)

    and it's not "just thinking outside the box". you are posting the first thing that comes to your mind. think before you speak... errr.... type.

    I trust Rick Smith with a 1st round pick more than I do picks in later rounds. So in that sense I'm more optimistic than usual.

    I'm pretty sure that's considered "inside info", second hand or not so yes you claimed to have inside info.

    Haha, its more like maybe you have something against Bridgewater, since we all have our panties in a bunch.

    It looks more like throwing a pebble in a pond and hoping for a big splash on your end. But either way I'd be happy to get a kings ransom for a #1 overall, if its worth it.

    And Wilson was 75th pick right? Ok I get it, you love you some Teddy. But trading down makes perfect sense when you need alot of help and Bridgewater is your best option at qb.
