If we don't draft Bush, i'd be ok with drafting Mario Williams. The Texans need to improve their defense too. Now sure how it would embarrass me. My stance all along is that we aren't drafting a quarterback. With that being said, grow up.
That's a pretty intense trade. Here's my dream scenario just for kicks: Houston trades the #1 for the Jet's #4 + #29 + 35. Houston trades David Carr + #65 for Vikings #17. Draft Day: #4- VY #17- Santonio Holmes #29- Manny Lawson #33- Eric Winston #35- Ashton Youboty Then we sign Steve McNair after he gets released from the Titans. VY gets a year or two under McNair. We address some holes in the secondary and OL. Pick up a young DE. We also quietly put together one of the best WR cores in the NFL (AJ, Moulds, Holmes, Walters, Mathis). Bash away.
everything i read now says the texans are going after mario that equals a pretty big smokescreen if true.
I wrote it in anther thread, a defensive end at the first pick is more valuable to your franchise. when you consider all factors with the biggest knock on running backs being how they last, I think it makes sense to take a DE. obviously the argument for reggie is that he is a once in a lifetime back and he can play receiver. johnny footbal mentioned something about concerns about bush's cockiness when he visited but he said he didn't think it was much of a problem.
Is it just me or does this remind you of the 2002 NBA Draft when rumors were spreading about us dealing the pick for Lamar Odom?
Difference was that Yao was an unknown commodity. Right now, I think most would agree that both Bush and Mario will be pro-bowl type players for a long time. I don't remember where I saw this but this analyst was talking about how Mario is a better pick at #1 because he'll have the chance to affect the game 60-70 times a game while Bush might get 15-20 times. But as everyone knows, that might be all that Bush needs.
Let's remove VY and RB for a moment. Along with the fact that Kubiak is an offensive-minded coach and taking into account the recent moves that the Texans have made, I would pick Mario in a heartbeat. Many would agree that our defense is still lacking a high impact player on the line or those on the roster are unproven. That's just not case. Bush is too good to pass up, unless we get a rediculous trade offer. VY is a local hero and is worthy of debate. Mario is the best player to use, because he is hands down above anyone else defensely. Create all the trade scenarios you want, but McNair wants Bush. Deep down inside, don't we all?
That's a good argument, but he will affect more than 15-20 downs. He will get 15-20 touches, and every other time he is on the field he will help take pressure of Andre and other guys.
