(Fox 26) Texans reached verbal agreement w/ Williams

If this goes down, you will see my PSLs on ebay tomorrow.

 

So, you had no problem with the VY advocates who said they wouldn't be fans anymore?

 

Perhaps Bush's camp is trying to steer him to a more high profile place... like New York.

 

ROFL. It's getting ugly, folks. Now we get to watch the pro-Bush crowd go apesh*t and the pro-Young crowd call them unreasonable. Meanwhile, the pro-Ferguson crowd (apparently, I'm an army of one) gets to sit back and laugh.

 

Hey, Williams is not the sexy pick, but he is a great pick. It's harder to find a great DE than a great RB. They could find a great RB in later rounds like many other teams do. I was an advocate of drafting Bush, thought he would be a huge asset to the team, but Williams could be a game changer at the position.

Remember, the rumor has it they want to move into the bottom of the 1st. They could get one of the other good RBs that will still be there with that pick if they really wanted.

For all the talk about VY and Bush, many have forgotten that defense (and the trenches period) wins championships and this is a step in the right direction.

I've always said that they really can't go wrong drafting in the top 5 or so in this draft and such a horrible season couldn't have come at a better time. I'm still EXCITED about tomorrow and watch as the Texans have their best draft in thier brief history.

 

sportsradio 610 Lance Z was just on and said his sources are confirming Mario will be the #1 pick tommorow

 

I've always been in the pro-we can't possibly **** this up. Even if we take Mario, I still believe that. A deep draft and a team with so many holes at the top.

 

Mario may be great and all...but is he a #1 pick????
Jeez, they should take what is considered to be the BEST PLAYER in the draft right in front of you.
This is not going to be a very positive thing for the organization.

 

Bush is the sexier pick, but if the Texans really do have Williams rated as highly then picking him is a good move. I was really warming to the idea of an exciting offensive team, though. I don't think you can depend on Dominick Davis.

 

Well then. What would you think about the Texans trading up into the bottom of the first round to pick up LenDale White?

 

Looks like its a 5 year deal, w/ a player option. forgot what the figures are. gonna make him the first pick tomorrow

 

It's just another turn in this saga. They're trying to get Bush to come down or NO to move up to take Mario.

 

Holy creap. They should just let the 15 minutes expire, let NO take Bush first, then take Mario second. That way, we don't have to pay him 1st pick money.

 

Well before Vincemania people were calling 610 and saying if they don't take Bush they were not going to be fans of the team anymore.

 

I just saw it too

You're kidding me, no VY, no Bush.

Texans are a bunch of idiots.

 

Great times in Houston my friends...

I think this is a great move for the team, but it is a PR blunder.

 

What media outlet do you work for?

Have you ever seen this done before?

How could you possibly be so damn sure that this is just "another turn"?

 

Well, they won't cash in on any of that instant "Bush-mania" hype... but in the long run, its whoever's team ends up winning more.

Even Barry Sanders (despite being the greatest RB of all time) was mostly an afterthought in the "hype" department, because of where he played, and because his team was bad.

 

It's all in the game. There are 7 potentially superstar players heading up this draft class. This is the deepest draft in several years. The Texans are trying to get every ounce of value out of this pick. I like what they are doing. Sit back and watch it unfold. As long as we wind up with Bush, MW, or VY, it will all make sense.

What we really need to do is send David Carr and our Bush to the Jets for their top 3 picks this year and first rounder next year. Then draft VY at 4, take the best CB at 29, and then get some offensive linemen and linebackers in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Then next year, between our pick and the Jets top pick, maybe we can leverage a shot at Adrian Peterson, a bigger, more durable, sensational running back as well.
