DJ V Lawrence Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 More NEWS!The Texans are looking to sign DE Mario Williams from North Carolina State, as he visits Houston today. And yes, they will still sign Reggie Bush.???How is that possible? Mario Williams is the top defensive prospect college. Doesn't Williams have to be drafted first, and if the Texans drafted him, it would have to be with the 1st pick in the draft, meaning we would lose Bush. In what scenario could we get both next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonsemipro Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 I don't know what the deal is on that. But, I'm hopeing that they get Bush, they don't need another DE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I'm hopeing that they get Bush, they don't need another DE.I'm convinced we're taking Bush, because the Texans would be on crack if they didn't take'em. I think the bigger question should be who the Texans would be able to steal in the later rounds, because I think we may be drafting two stars, possibly three if lucky. Now that Houston has all their needed positions filled up with veteran free agents, they'll only be drafting the highest talent available, regardless of position, making this draft a REALLY rewarding draft. I predict Bush, one more dude on offensive line, and two top defensive prospects in rounds 1-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonsemipro Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) Do you think the Texans needs to get another vertern DB and trade, or cut Phillip Buchanon? Cause remember, Buchanon lost his job to Demarcus Faggins last season. Buchanon has speed, but his coverage STINKS! I say they need another vertern DB, and maybe another OT.

RedScare Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 The Texans, because they have the first pick, can talk to and negotiate with those players they might draft. They can even sign one before the draft. Talking to Mario Williams is a safety valve, to let Bush know if he is too expensive, the Texans could draft someone else....but, I doubt anyone is buying it.

DJ V Lawrence Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 If the Texans passes up Bush and Young for a DE Mario Williams. I'm going to be MIGH-TY PISSED!!Wouldn't blame you. A DE can't win the game. A defensive line can. And Bush has the biggest chance at giving the Texans what they need, especially when you see who we already got in free-agency. If the Texans are smart, we're hold off until next year to draft a DE as the Texans' 1st round pick. Mario Williams is good, but not drafting him is not the end of the world. We already got a defensive line of former Pro-Bowl veterans. Not drafting Bush would be mindless. Young is a great player, and also the next big thing, but he's only a QB. You can't have him and Carr on the field at the same time, so it would be a waste of talent. I REALLY want to see Young on a different team, like the Titans, where he can play more, and can show his value. Get Bush, have Coach Kubiak creating a variety of plays involving both him and Davis, and I'm convinced we have a Super Bowl worthy team next year and long-term. Hell, let Bush and Davis switch out. Having them fresh on the field can only mean good things. And if Carr doesn't have what it takes, trade him later. But I'm convinced he has skill, and will have his best season.

I hate to tell you but most Texans fans that I talk to (those with true football minds) understand that VY isn't the best option for the Texans. Also, if VY is wanted by everyone, why is he slipping so fast in the draft?I know it's a losing argument with a longhorn, but just b/c VY wore burnt orange doesn't make him a god. Great college quarterbacks can't always perform well in the NFL, it's a different game. And the poles couldn't be more opposite when comparing the offense that VY ran at Texas with an NFL offense. If you follow this line of thinking, Matt Leinart is much more of a sure thing in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTX, I'm a DIE-HARD Vince Young fan, and I'm an even more DIE-HARD Longhorns fan, but you seem to be forgeting that Vince Young's not the only badass Longhorn in the draft. Besides, how much can Vince Young do in Houston trying to lead a team trying to rebuild from a 2-14 season? He needs to be in a place where there's already a structure and veteran coaching staff in place, so he can jump in, learn quicker, and excel. Hell, Gary Kubiak is head coach for the first time here, so he might as well work with Carr (who's still young) and have something to work with. Vince Young not playing for the Texans wouldn't make me any less of a fan of him. He needs to be on a team where the talent can work with him. The Texans can't offer that for at least another two years with more moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they draft Mario Williams.Metropolitan, come on man! You and I know the Texans is not going to draft Young. Why draft Young, and the Texans just made deal with Carr to sign him $8 million for 3 more years? BTW, they also got the vetern quarterback from Miami to backup Carr, so you do the math. Young is out of the running. The only two in the running now is Bush and Williams, but I hope they pick Bush.

For simply the gargantuan sums of money that the TEXANS are paying DC, just accepting a draft pick is not going to sit well with the fans of Houston. For please believe me when I state that we have indeed seen it all , upon these same tired related issues nonwithstanding........JUST WHAT ON EARTH, MAKES YOU THINK THAT THE TEXANS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL THIS YEAR OR THE NEXT? As you have so eloquently stated, this team is building from a 2-14 national laughingstock, into a new mode of respectability.......and this just does not come overnight........for VINCE YOUNG does indeed have his place upon this team, when he is indeed selected with the first pick.........just like all of the other rookies upon this upcoming draft. DJ, please do not forget that not only is Caoch Kubiak a veteran coach, he also a highly respected quarterback guru.........I have absolutely no problem allowing DC to prepare himself towards respectability under the tutelidge of Coach Kubiak........but I for one, and along wth legions of HOUSTON TEXANS fans, certainly want to see VINCE YOUNG standing along the sidelines, learning and preparing to takeover and lead us to the next level indeed........WINNERS DO THOSE SORT OF THINGS, YOU KNOW!Metropolitantexan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
