OK, since now we'll have the #2 pick... - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

David's Busted Carr · 12-18-2005

What do we do with it? I think drafting #2 this year is the absolute WORST draft position you could have. You won't be able to trade the pick for enough value (as you would with the Reggie Bush auction at #1), you don't need Leinert, and I don't think an OL is worth a 2nd overall pick. Wow, the Texans just keep making it harder and harder on themselves....

Well first of all Bush will be gone to SF at #1.

Then teams who might be looking at Leinhart are Det, Balt, and NYJ

Balt will prob pick around 9-12
Det will pick around 6-10
Jets top 4

We can still get a good trade value for this.

tulexan · 12-18-2005

Well that would mean going by
what the NFL said

SF wont beat us. They are worse then we are. Plus anyways you said SF has .585 and we have a .567 they would pick 1st because the SoS is tougher than our is.

TheRealJoker · 12-18-2005

No, weaker sos gets the 1st pick

Huge · 12-18-2005

SOS is the winning percentage of the oppoenents you've played. In other words,the higher the number, the stronger your schedule.

So if SF's is at .585 and Houston is at .567, then Houston has played the weaker schedule and would get priority over SF in the draft...as it stands right now.

does it matter since we will beat SF anyways... This topic shouldnt even matter both team will go into the last game 2-13. The winner gets 2nd pick and loser 1st pick... bottom line

tulexan · 12-18-2005

I wouldn't get your hopes up because of this game. If Kurt Warner played the entire game we would have been blown out by the Cardinals.

Napa Auto Parts · 12-18-2005

well considering our Our Poor qb play even againts terrible defenses i dont see how we wont look at Matt Leinert ive heard some scout say he could be every good as P. Manning but who knows we have david carr we dont need a qb since david is so good.

Huge · 12-18-2005

If my aunt had nuts...

Matt won't be as good as Peyton. He doesn't have the arm strength. I can see him being a better Chad Pennington before the injuries.
