    I think it is silly to assume that he would have went number two. That is pure speculation

    Why not get Reggie Bush II? Steve Slaton is fantabulous.

    Samardzja is nowhere close to the top 10.

    Receivers are loaded with Ginn, Jarrett, and Johnson out of GT, who is the top guy right now.

    I'm not sure whats worse the O-line or secondary.

    I vote secondary. I think Kubiak can get the line going a little better just by himself by the end of the year. BUt no coach can make a crappy secondary decent.

    It's gotta be defense unless AJ demands a trade or something we have a decent #2 right now in moulds. He's getting old but theres bigger holes on the texans than #2 reciever.

    I don't think its silly to assume Mario would eventually take a dump.

    IF THE TEXANS DO NOT TAKE KEVIN KOLB I WILL CANCEL MY SEASON TICKETS AND URINATE ON RELIANT STADIUM AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE I'LL DO

    YOU DO NOT PASS ON A HOMETOWN TALENT LIKE THIS, THE TEXANS OWE IT TO THE CITY TO DRAFT HIM

    I had a good laugh with a friend the other day cause we were talking draft only 2 games into the season.

    I hope this is a parody of the Vince Young love-fest from last year... also it looks like we made a darn good decision passing on VY. Passing on Bush... time will tell.


    In terms of need:

    1a. FS
    1b. CB
    2. LT (unless Winston somehow wins this job this year)
    3. RB (depends on the status of Domanick Davis)

    Thus:
    1. Brandon Merriweather - S
    2. Leon Hall - CB
    3. LaRon Landry - S
    4. Michael Griffin -S
    5. Calvin Johnson - WR (I think he will be the best player in the draft)

    Others:
    Adrian Peterson - RB (face it, Kubiak will never draft a RB in the 1st)

    Brady Quinn- QB (Im not convinced he could do more than Carr is behind our line)

    All the OTs mentioned in the 1st round so far-- none of them are in D. Ferguson's class (Thomas and Baker are definitely not, and most people consider them the top 2 OTs)-- I think we will have to wait til later rounds to get OL help.

    So Im thinking:
    1. FS/CB
    2. FS/CB (the other position not taken in rd. 1)
    3. OL
    4. RB

    Of course, those 2 games were against 2 serious Superbowl contenders.

    I thought it was widely conceived that Mario would have went #2, especially after they picked up Brees. Everyone was talking about having Mario on the other side of Will Smith.

    Everyone was also talking about Reggie bush and the texans. You just never know. Especially with trades and that stuff. We should have traded down with the jets and gotten john abraham. He is better than williams will ever be and we could have probably gotten the 4th pick with him.

    Nope, the saints were projected to take AJ Hawk. I'll try to find that article.

    Plus it was written in the stars/pre-determined for the Saints to get Reggie Bush to help save the city/franchise. So there was nothing us houston fans could do about it.

    Saints have sold out their season tickets, Bush has the #1 selling jersey in the NFL, Saints are 2-0, Bush is fun to watch and brings excitement back to the team win or lose, and he's doing some good things in the community. Plus this upcoming monday night game at the superdome againts the 2-0 Falcons will be sweet & will be Reggie's coming out party. Gonna be an emotional setting next monday.

    meanwhile, the Texans.... :(

    First, it's way to early to judge this draft, Vince Young, Reggie Bush, or Mario Wiliams; especially Young given the gestation period for quarterbacks.

    Second, no way in hell, after another .250 season, with all the Texans holes, they throw a first round, top 5 pick to an FS. Safetys are never drafted that high because acceptable safeties are not hard to find. Even their idiotic braintrust would not do that.

    Not Likely.

    I think Kubiak secretly planned to suck this year too to get Adrian Peterson. I hope. Please.

    Although our defense looks like it's in much worse shape than our offense (not saying much).

    Adrian Peterson....that dude is a beast....chances are though Kubiak won't go with a RB in the first. If that doesn't happen we should undoubtfully go defense and pick up a top flight corner or saftey.

    I remember pretty clearly that The Saints were talking about taking Mario #2 if Bush was off the boards. Leinart was suppose to go #2 until they signed Brees and there was so much talk about putting Mario opposite of Will Smith.

    Oh well...not like it matters anyways.
