Duane Brown: First Round pick of the Texans - Page 4 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

BSofA04 · 04-26-2008

no one under-estimated anything. Duane Brown wasn't the best player on the board IMO. We could have drafted Cason, Tyrell Johnson or Kenny Phillips.

Let's just call this "Sticker shock" at this point. Who in their right mind had us taking Duane Brown in round one?! Completely out of left field.

yeah we could have used the first overall pick to address this need instead

It's a lot more comfy on the bandwagon now with all of you apparently jumping off.

Because all of you draft experts already know Phillips, Mendenhall, Cason, and whoever else you wanted already know that Duane Brown isn't going to be as good as them. You are all ready to put Rick Smith, Alex Gibbs, and Kubiak's head on a pike because you hate this pick. You guys are lame.

Welcome to the Texans Duane Brown!

No because, no one was getting that kind of value ahead of us. The Ravens only got two 3rds and a 4th to trade down to 26. No way were we getting a second.

Bull Dung....Gibbs, the HOF O-line coach picked his boy. He wasn't going to make it to 79. How many judas goat QBs do ya need there SWT ?

Thats the kind of junk that happens when you have an Oline coach with a history of taking less known players and making them into pro bowlers.

This has been so much fun that I'm going to go mow my yard.

i've been here since the beginning...and some people will cosign on anything. Im calling this like i see it..and i see huge mistakes. Epic, franchise killing mistakes.

Here's to a great career for Duane, welcome to the Texans. May he shore up the position which has been a thorn in our sides since day 1.

No. A decent second would have been too much.

We should have gotten a 3rd and maybe a high 5th or a low 4th. The 6th was a little lower than I would have liked.

BUT...

I'm going with the pick. I believe in Smithiak.

im sick of fans thinking they know more than the coaches.. SWT and others haven't even seen the guy play and hes saying its a bad pick. thats retarded.

reggie had the hype.. we took mario
winston had the hype at #33.. we took demeco ryans

etc

hype means sh1t when it comes to the draft

Mario/ Bush/ Young

swtbound07 · 04-26-2008

Dude, the guy hasn't played one down for our team. And you're already calling him a mistake.

Texanballer · 04-26-2008

I am still a die hard texans fan, just pissed off about the pick. Hopefully we are proven wrong

stingray · 04-26-2008

OK, I'm on board. I trust Rick Smith. Let's see what this guy does.
