Who would you want the Texans to DRAFT?

Pull the 2004 Charger move. Trade down a few spots, pick up some extra picks in this year's draft in addition to another first rounder next season. Then take D'Brickshaw.

 

There is no easy fix to this team.
I doubt one player will be able to help them as much as several picks.
Just keep in mind a quote from the All Knowing Madden "A good offensive line takes 4-5 years"

No, this doesnt mean one more year
It means they probably wont be any good until 5 years from now.

 

I think our best option would be to trade down for a top 5 pick and a 2nd rounder, pick up Ferguson with the higher pick and maybe a WR with the 2nd.

 

Huh? Where's the Leinhart love affair? Is DD your new scapegoat?

 

we gotta trade down... many teams are going to want to the number 1 spot in the draft to pick up leinhart. since there are a lot of teams that really need a QB, it makes it more likely that teams will have to give up a little more for that spot. so it would be awesome to trade down the pick and get their first round pick for this comming year...and get their first round draft pick the following year as well. if we dont trade down too far for this year we should be able to still pick up brickshaw. if not... no biggie. there are a lot of OL in this draft.

its hard to pass up on bush, but how many carries can he handle per game in the nfl... b/c he doesnt get a lot of touches now already. i believe white will be the better RB in the nfl than bush. he is bigger and can take more punishment than the small guy in bush. people consistenly over look white's numbers... i dont feel like lookin them up at this moment, but i encourage you too look them up.

 

Trade down, but you need to find someone dumn enough that wants Bush or Matt, enough to get 2 number ones (this and next ala Ravens w/ Boller and Texans with Babin)...

 

i wonder why that is....

oh, yeah, now i remember.

bush is on pace to have more carries this year than brown did last year with auburn and he was a top five pick.

ok. bush averages 185 yards of offense a game; white 119. bush has more rushing yards, more receiving yards and handles both kick and punt return duties. and when did 6'0", 200 become too small for the NFL?

 

Cutler will be a better NFL QB.....trust me.

 

This is the year to trade down if you ever do...

teams will be lining up at the door to get Leinart or Bush at 1/2. We just have to get the right deal to do it.

 

madden obviously hasn't tried juicing his players.

works damn well (see blitz the league)

 

While Bush is getting the majority of the votes, the poll is flawed because you have two options that are splitting most of the votes (D'Brick, trade down) that could end up being the same thing.

In theory, the Texans could trade down to #3, and still get D'Brick.

Still, in the end, there are more people voting to not get Bush over getting Bush... and IMO, you have to fix the line before you can start improving ANYTHING else on this team.

Bush isn't the greatest college RB ever that's just happening to come out this year... I remeber Kijana Carter being a much bigger name. Quality RB's come out every year, and they don't have to be the #1 pick in the draft to have a very successful NFL career. The same can't be said for franchise Left tackles... there really hasn't been one since Pace/Boseli came out at the same time... if D'Brick is it (and the draft is due to have one), you take him.

 

Good post Nick. If the Texans can trade down, pick up Ferguson, and another 2nd rounder, possibly another 1st, that would be the best possible draft for us.

Bush is a very talented player, but like Nick said, RBs come out all the time. Good LT are hard to come by, there talking about this Ferguson kid like he's one of the best to come out in a while.

 

I gotta go with Fergusen as well, it suits our needs and his talent seems to justify the pick.
