    Did John McClain say earlier on 610am that he thinks the Titans will take Leinart if he's available? He then went on to talk about if Vince slides he won't get pass Arizona. I'm a little confused about what happened. First he said the Texans were going to draft him. Then he said the Titans were going to draft him. Then he said the Cowboys were going to trade up to get him but then Rich said that he made that up just to see what happened. Then he was back to the Titans not passing him up and now he is saying that the Titans will draft Leinart if he's available and the possibility that Vince will slide to the Cardinals.

    What happened?

    Also I'm not sure how Leinart will end up at #3 unless NO takes Young and I don't think he was saying that. I think he was saying if they have the choice between Young and Leinart, they will chose Leinart....?

    Was Vincemania not as big as I thought it was? I knew it was huge in Houston (or was it just loud) but I also thought it was big nation wide and was hoping it was.

    Things changed a ton when NOLA signed Brees. It was widely believed that NOLA was selecting Leinart and that the Titans would go w/ VY. Now that there's a chance that Leinart will still be on the board at #3, the Titans would definitely choose him over VY since 1. He is the safer pick 2. He already has 3 years of experience under Chow, which is huge IMO.

    Vincemania is huge in Texas. Its not even remotely as big nationwide. Here in NYC, where the draft is being analyzed just as much bc of the Jets #4 pick, people are saying Leinhart or D'Brick. Young is rarely mentioned.

    Sorta sucks....I would like Young to get drafted by the Jets...my firm has killer Jets season tickets.

    Things change.



    Vincemania was huge in Houston because your native son just led a school to a MNC. And he did so in spectacular fashion beating the "greatest team ever." I would hope any city would go crazy if their native son did this, especially a city with as much civic pride as Houston.

    Not true at all. It's been reported by multiple sources in recent days, including ESPN's John Clayton about 30 minutes ago on Sportscenter, that the Titans are currently leaning to Vince Young even if Leinart is on the board. Leinart has a chance to change that when he works out with the Titans on Monday, but there's a very real chance Vince goes before Leinart.

    Yeah, I saw the same thing. I think USC's pro-day tomorrow could go a long way in making whats going to happen in the top 5 a little clearer. Vince had a good proday which supposedly shot him back up to a possible top 3 pick. Now Leinart has his chance to impress.

    Actually, I said if you don't think Bush is worht trading for then VY sure as hell isn't. IMHO they both are but when people come in here and say "Bush will fall to #5 if we don't pick him" or "Bush isn't worth trading up for " then i'm going to jump on that. That's just a simply ridiculous comment

    Agreed. I believe the word is that Chow prefers either Leinart or Cutler, but the rest of the staff thinks Vince is the better choice.

    It's hard to detect tone over the net, but just reading this makes you seem like you're still mad at Vince over the rose bowl. Excuse me, Rose bowls.



    Yeah, and the thing is, how big of a say should Chow have? I can see him being partial to traditional quarterbacks, and I don't have a problem with that.

    Agreed. IF Bush isn't the #1 pick, look for NOLA to jump all over that.

    While Bush is worth trading up for IMO, I find it interesting that we haven't heard about any possible trades for him. That doesn't mean they aren't happening, but I wonder if the Texans are a little suprised at the interest (or lack of) from teams looking to trade up.

    But of course, we know the real deals won't start coming in til' the day of the draft.

    I honestly think the market is pretty dry. Despite having elite prospects available (in most seasons Bush, Leinart and Young would all be #1 pick worth) teams are content with where they are at. If NY hadn't gotten Pennington to rescrutcture and added another QB then I thgink they would be all over leinart since they were enamored with him supposedly.

    This being said, you can sit at 3 or 4 and get one of these guys. I don't really think the Jets will pick a QB unless Matt falls in their lap but you never know. The Titans will take Matt or VY. The Cutler hype is over IMO. FA has drastcially altered this draft.

    So you think VY will be as good as Culpepper at least, but you would get mad if we drafted him? Don't get me wrong, Bush/Brick/Williams would be great picks as well.

    VY, but they will probably take Bush and VY will come back to haunt the Texans

    Yeah. I think Carr can be a really good QB as well (a star just like Daunte) with this team they are putting around him. We will have two really good Wr's (Johnson, Moulds), great #3's in Armstrong, Mathis and Walter and two perfect TE's 9Bruener for Blocking and Putzier for receiving). Flanigan was a great pickup for our OL. We'll address the right side in the draft (I think that's obvious by our offseason moves).

    DD is hurt too much. However, if we don't trade him then we have another weapon for David to use. Bush can do so many things for this team. He ives us that homerun threat that we lacked out of the backfield.

    Really? I was watching the JETS report or whatever on SNY last weekend and they were doing "man in the street" type interviews about who they should draft - Vince Young's name was mentioned more than anyone else. The reason why nobody in the newspapers really speculates about it is because they won't draft him, -- they put their QB eggs in re-tread Patrick Ramsey's basket and are trying to salvage Pennington in a typical Jets move.
