If you get a second and thrid it would be a nice deal.

thats an awfully hefty price to replace a guy in al wilson who is already pretty good. your entire first day of picks? yikes.

They know who they want and what it will take to get their player. This would be a great deal for the Texans if they get a second rd pick and a 3rd or 4th rd pick. If Ive learned anything about the knew coaching staff, they know how to find talent in the later rounds, so a second round pick and an additional 3rd round pick could yield some great talent and depth for the defense. Plus, a second rounder would give us a shot at a receiver to compliment Johnson.

I'm just wondering who Smith takes at #21. That would be interesting to see. I like that we have set ourselves up to draft bpa and not need this year.

i dont mean to be a complete jerk but... isnt that because pretty much every single position is a need? you really cant go wrong by taking BPA with houston cuz they could use the upgrade at every position imo.

Not every position is a need. We have a Tight End.

Well, and if I think about it real hard... QB is set, WR1 is set, LG is set, TE is set, CB1 is set, MLB is set and SDE is pretty much set.

Love the optimism from the Texans fans

youre right about MLB, i forgot about ryans. that is one position. i admittedly know very little about owen daniels, but i assume hes decent and putzier and bruener are solid 2 and 3 TEs, so i'll give you that position as well. i dont buy that youre set at QB. starter maybe, but i dont think you really want to have bradlee van pelt start 2 or 3 games this year (at least) when schaub has his inevitable im-a-houston-qb injury.

so im giving you two positions. we can safely expect you not to draft an MLB and a TE.

though really, ryans could pretty easily move outside if a good MLB was on the board, i bet.

you shouldve just stuck with hollywoodnash. i'll give you TE. any other position is completely fair game.

(now watch them take greg olsen at #10...)

DaBomb,
What you don't realize is that Ryans is too smart to play any other position on the field. He came into training camp last year as the 2nd string MLB and was swapping out with the Sam and Mike. He worked his ass off to become the starting MLB. The man has football sense as well as total intelligence. That's why he became the Defensive Rookie of the Year last year. I totally trust Kubiak and Smith.

I can see the Denver deal getting done. Houston gets back a second and picks up a third. If Denver wants to trade their entire first day for one guy, let them.

actually, moving down could help them. They could have a shot at a decent CB in Houston or maybe Ross. There is a chance OT is available with Staley, or OG with Blalock. All real needs. Heck...some thing Lynch might be there if GB goes Wr.

If Patrick Willis was the BPA at 10, I would be completely okay picking him and moving Ryans outside.

Every position on the team is a need. QB included, but there ain't better choices in this draft.

By the way, I noted the draft rumor before PFT at the AOL site. Today's Chronicle says that sort of deal is NOT in the works. I would be totally fine with a trade down. Lots of good players at 21, but more importantly the picks would be handy.

With how well Kubiak and last year's front office did in the later rounds, I would be more than happy with trading down and getting more picks.

It's not like they "really" have team sources anyway.

I actually think that we should start floating rumors here and quote "unamed sources from the team"

Then we could infiltrate other sites using aliases and cite SO as a source for our own rumors.
LOL
