    I stated that I would forgive the Titans if they drafted Young
    but
    the drafting of Lendale White has made this a successful draft no matter where they go from here

    They have their backfield of the future in place
    From here out . . .I think OL or defense will be where they go

    QUESTION: is Volek more Chris Chandler or Cody Carlson?
    mentor or waste of space in order to get the oilers out of houston?

    Volek is Cody. Cause he looks good as a backup, looks like a potential starter...but as a starter, he's nothin. Chandler actually was decent for a year or 2 starting, aside from the injuries and stuff.

    If they don't draft atleast 1 freakin O-lineman in the 3rd.. I refuse to attend a game next year. If a ticket falls in my lap, I'll use it as toilet paper.

    P.S. - I'm ok with the first 2 picks

    I was just about to ask the same thing. What about Ashton? Why hasn't he gone. From what I see we are beefing up our defense. Why don't we get a SS or FS we don't have a legit player at those positions. We are set in one Secondary position and that player is Dunta Robinson.

    Still a TON of talent on the board, it should be interesting to see where the Texans go.

    I'm with you. Going into the draft, I thought those were our two biggest needs.

    We already gave the picks to the Raiders last year. Love the Texans to bring home Asthon Youboty from Klein.

    Why is Eric Winston falling so much? I really like his size, speed, and physical skills. Never seen in any film on him? Is he still too raw? I remeber him coming out of Midland and they said he was going be the next Shockey. He was TE is high school. I know he has a major knee injury? Is there still concern about that?

    I think alot of teams think he's too small, which is good for us, because he;d be a great fit in our zone blocking scheme. If we somehow land Winston and Youboty in the third, I'd give the Texans an A for the first day.

    The league can't just randomly schedule games based on "interest"... there's a formula:

    Each team plays each team within the division twice, plays one whole division in the AFC once, and plays another whole division in the NFC once. Then, their final two games are played against the teams who finished in the same place as them in the other two AFC divisions.

    That would put this draft back up to a B+/A- if it happened.
