So who can the Texans get in the draft.

Here is how I prioritize the draft choices by position.

1. QB
2. DT
3. CB
4. LB

I think the other areas and they are many can be taken care of in free agency.

2 and 3 could be flipped maybe but QB is a lock for the first pick next year.

I doubt they pick a QB with their first round pick
 
At this point I'm willing to look at a QB with a high pick, but I've been demoralized by watching our secondary for 6+ years now...I want us to draft a CB or S with our #1 myself. Then a QB or LB.
 
1-QB---I wished.

1-OLB / Brandon Spikes, Aaron Curry
2-DE / George Selvie, Tyson Jackson
3-S / Rashad Johnson
4-RG/C / Eric Wood, Max Unger
5-DT
6-BPA
7-BPA
 
what we need is some kind of qb that is a great decision maker who doesn't turn the ball over with a great arm and acuarate. if he was also big enough to block on run plays that would help. he also needs to be able to deep snap, we've had some problems in that area as well. he has to be able to rush the qb as well as take up interior lineman on the running plays. it would be a plus if he could tackle and have enough speed to cover the tight ends out of the back field. actually he would have to have a 5th gear so he could cover wide recievers in certain situations. he might as well be able to punt the ball since turk will not last forever. he must have a background in defensive philosiphy so he could help coach the defense during the week. he should have some head coaching experience maybe helping out in little league. hopefully his dad owned a large business so he could advise mcnair from time to time. a phd in communications is a must so we can get some fans back. hopefully he will be good at directions(sometimes i cant find my seat)

i think that will about do it for our 1st pick.

I made a comment in another thread about drafting a QB in the mid rounds to sit behind Schaub for a year or two and spending some premium picks on interior offensive linemen .... I'd put the Texans draft needs as follows

1) OLB / DE could also take ILB moving Ryans outside , fill the other need via FA
2) OG (Brisel isnt starting material)
3)QB/C
4)C/QB
5-7) anything after round 4 is probably a crap shoot at best .... BPA
 
Look, I know everyone thinks we need a QB but I just don't think that is the case. I think Schaub is exactly what Kubiak wants at QB and if the Texans could ever start running the ball with some degree of consistency then he'd be everything you could ask for in a signal caller.

Trying to run this offense with only 15 running plays per game is insanity. This "pass to setup the run" thing everyone expects isn't going to work for a zone blocking team. We try to pass first and they bring the house. Our offensive line can't keep them all out without a credible running threat and so we fail before the run is ever "setup".

We need a running back who can move the chains. We need a center who can hold his own against the big nose tackles. We need one more guy on the defensive line who can get to the QB because without him Mario is just going to be good enough to get to some Pro Bowls but his sacks are never going to affect the outcome of games.

We need Jon Hoke and Richard Smith on the first bus out of town in a bad way but as much as that we need next coordinator on that side of the ball to get it right because we're wasting careers here. I don't want to see Mario, DeMeco, and Dunta all getting good statistical production while playing on a crap defense that never stops anybody. These guys will leave eventually because nobody wants to play on a perennial loser forever.

If you don't draft a QB at the top of the 09 draft, then forget about drafting a QB at all. This is such a weak class, its not even funny. It barely edge the 02 class, and thats only if the underclassmen comes out. I don't even want to think about it if the top QB is Rhett freakin Bomar.

There are a couple guy's I could envision falling to the 3rd - 4th round that have potential ..... One of those is TT's Graham Harrell.

I think hes a grat college QB but hell be lucky to get drafted in the 4th round, more likely late 5th or 6th imo. Bradford is this years Matt Ryan. IMO he is sthe best QB in this draft should he declare. He is worthy of a top 5 pick.
 
We need to stop drafting "raw" projects as a first round pick. This team is in desperate need of an impact safety, and a new defensive coordinator.

I dont disagree with you at all (unbelievable aint it?) BUT If they cant protect Schaub any better than they have over the past two seasons we're going to get more of the same .... Schaub on the bench. C and RG are my top priority on the offensive side of the ball .... But if Schaub is going to spend half the season on the bench there has to be someone ready to fill his spot (Sage again next year ?)
 
Himm i hope its like this

1 OLB
2 FS/CB
3 Ofensive Guard
4 Punter-someone to replace Turk -maybe even flip it to pick 3 if we can find a really good one

I dont think we should gett rookies to help us on FS and CB and SS because they will be now better then what we have now we will leave that to FA

so i see going into the season having 3 or 2 QB

1 Matt
2 Sage
3 Nall

Odds are we keep Kubiak if he gets to the 6-8 win mark to end the season.

If that happens, then that means we are keeping the QBs we've got. Too much is invested in Schaub and he was on quite the roll before the Jared Allen cheapshots. Even took some big shots and got back up to finish the game. The jury is out on whether or not he's injury prone. But I think he proved he's got the heart and toughness to play QB for this football team.

The Dolphins game is a prime example of that. He threw 2 INTs early in that game. Rosenfels would've folded up like a lawnchair at that point but Matt stuck it out and proceeded to hang 379 on the Dolphins and run in the game winning td despite being harassed by Joey Porter all day.

If we dont keep Kubiak however....

Schaub's not the new coaches' "guy". This means we use our most likely very high draft choice to draft a "Franchise QB" and have Matt start while the # 1 pick is groomed and while the OL/running game gets up to snuff enough so the new QB doesn't get killed.

Or he brings in a veteran like we should've done in 06 when Drew Brees was on the market.
 
i woldnt mind keeping Matt along for a while honestly

i dont want to make the same mastike twice in not keeping your stable Lame not has good QB while your rebuliding you team alla David carr who i think left a year and a half 2 early

but i wouldnt be aganist trading matt and Nall keeping sage has a Backup

and getting a very good vet alla a dream grab like

Brett Farve
Jeff garcia
Chad plamer
Kerry Collins
David carr :P
Maybe even vince young if we can get him for cheap

If anything Carr left a year and a half too late. He was damaged goods by mid 05.
 
And at this point Matt is damanged goods for reals :P by mid 08

did we really need to waste 2 2nd round draft picks and a hole lot of money for this ....

we might has well took our licks with carr while we re rebuild

Matt was playing as well as any QB in the NFL the last month right along with AJ up until Allen took out his knee. Yet he's damaged goods? Last I saw, that was Sage having the meltdown today and in the Indy game.

When has Carr EVER had a stretch where he played among the best at his position? What has Carr done in his time with us that showed that he could do anything other than go fetal before he takes serious punishment?
 
We don't need to draft a QB... yet.

Matt Schaub is the guy for at least another two seasons IMO. I don't like it, but that's just how I see it.

If Schaub does not produce in 2009 I say we draft a QB, and let him learn the ropes and if Schaub is not producing in 2010, that is when the new QB should hit the field.

There are WAY more problems than the QB position for the Texans franchise. Lets try fixing our oline and secondary before we decide to draft a QB.

if i stand corrected during the 1st half of the MInn game we had Zero yup zippo Points on offensive

Matt has no pocket pressence nor dubility or mobility

Carr has drived down fields Before aganist tough teams Matt has not

i can safely say Last year was a diaster for Matt what was it 3 injures missing a few game

this year same bad report card 0-3 in the divison for matty and only winning games aganist the worst teams in the NFL

sorry iam not drinking the Matt kool aid that your drinking

so with that being said did we really need to acquire Matt schaub i think has the old saying goes we had worse problems then our QB at that time

Matt Schaub does not = David Carr...

The difference between Matt Schaub and David Carr is this...

With Matt Schaub I actually have confidence that if he can avoid some mistakes he actually stands a chance at bailing out one of the worst defenses in the entire NFL.

With David Carr it was, "hopefully somebody David dumps the ball off to in the flat can make a play, **** DD isn't playing.....there goes our passing offense" or "hopefully our defense can step up big and hold the other team under 20 points, because if they don't we don't stand a chance in hell of winning".

I think some of y'all have completely wiped the -5 passing yards victory vs the crappy Raiders game away from y'all's memory.

David Carr does NOT = Matt Schaub.........is Matt Schaub the bonified franchise QB, maybe not, but he's a hellava lot better than David "how's my hair looking" Carr.

It may well be the case that the Texan's believe him to be the guy for at least two more years, but how can anyone tell. I mean he really hasn't been on the field enough in the last two seasons to adequately evaluate where he stands. While he has been in games we have seen flashes of brilliance....mostly against teams that are not at the top of their games, and flashes of and reminders of Carr, as well as everything in between. I had decided to take a wait and see on him untill the end of this season, but with him being out for what may well be the rest of the season, I'm more inclined to begin to have my doubts about his durability.
I know many are going to point to his injuries as being a result of cheap shots!. But why is he the only QB that seems to be the target of such? Is it because he has a reputation for being brittle? Or is it just that our O-line really sucks that badly? Maybe a little of both? And if the o-line is really that bad, are we going to ruin him like Carr was ruined before it gets fixed?
I don't know if we as fans have the patience to wait until Matt has a complete season to see if he is worth the price that was paid to get him. In my opinion, We might need to start looking for a QB with durability and smarts and soon, or next season might just be another"wait till next year" kind of year.
 
Kick me in the head if you dont agree but im seriously coming round to the idea of trying to get Matt Cassel, once Brady returns he may want to move on to be a starter. Then possibly draft a rookie QB to sit behind Cassel & Schaub,

With regards to this years picks obv Slaton is the sole indvidual that stands out, maybe more careful consideration is needed next year.
 
First and foremost, we desperately need a REAL defensive coordinator - someone innovative and aggressive. (Will Marv Lewis be available??)

Safety is THE top priority in the draft; we need a SS and a FS.

Pass rushing end to complement Mario would be our second greatest need.

If Graham Harrell is available in the 2nd, you do NOT pass on him.

Other needs: OL (all positions), OLB, and RB (a bruiser).

I want Sage out of here because I think he's a gross liability and single handedly capable of losing a game or two a year if given the opportunity. I don't see Sage the way many in here do. I think he's a nice guy who never got the memo that he's not starter material and so he's going to do everything in his power to try and prove that he can be "the guy". This of course results in his screwing the pooch for his entire team when he starts trying to exceed his ability.

I don't want Sage on this team. I want him gone and I'd have had him gone for a draft pick this past off season if I'd had my way. There's nothing "rare" about Sage Rosenfels. He's not the best backup QB in the NFL like so many believed. He's just the most recent backup QB to have a good run in relief. You shop those guys around and find a sucker because they almost never pan out.

The key to protecting Shaub is simple. Get his pass attempts down and run the ball about 20 more times a game. Getting the running game going will have an enormous impact on the number of hits Matt Schaub takes in a game. Trying to put all of this on his back and arm while sitting him behind a ZBS offensive line (that ain't running) borders on criminal. Gary Kubiak should know better than this. That he doesn't raises a lot of doubts about the man and his future as a head coach.
 
We need a sledgehammer back and some coaches that understand the dynamics of what the running game does to your offense and how it helps your defense. Schaub is good enough if you get some smarter coaching around him...and yeah, a real friggin NFL lead running back - in his prime.

I've posted somewhere else that sledge hammer backs can be had in the mid rounds ... why ... cause 4.4's and below get you drafted in the first . To get the power game going , we might need somebody with that can drive block ... I'm zoned out .

I would also say that we have no idea about our young CB's at this point and the safety's could easily be upgraded . We need size and speed at LB and our DL stinks .

Kris Brown is damn good and the recievers aren't bad .
 
I think we need a safety in round 1. A true, ballhawking, centerfield playing safety. Top 10 safeties are rarely busts and they are always instant differnece makers. We need turnovers on defense, and thats the best way to add 4-8 every year

You mean like the instant impact that Reggie Nelson "the best S in the draft" has had on the Jaguars? You can't just force in a position is what I'm getting at I guess. Thats how you end up with the Okoyes and TJ's of the world.

I agree, as much as I've been drinking the cool aid on how the O-line has improved the last couple of years it still isn't getting the job done on the road or against good defenses (and on the road against good defenses its ugly). Duane Brown can look good for stretches but recently I have been very underwhelmed. There could be at least 3 top notch left tackles (Andre Smith, Michael Oher, Eugen Monroe) at the top of the draft this year and I really hope we give serious consideration to drafting one of them and sliding Duane to guard. Would instantly improve our protection and run blocking. I wish we could just splurge on the D, I really do, but the O-line is just not getting it done when they are put in any kind of tough situation.

The numbers say we are a pretty decent running team but if you take a closer look we really aren't. Slaton has been impressive this year no doubt but his YPC is inflated because he breaks long runs. I don't like to hold that against him but we have to figure out how to get him to be more consistent. Ahman has probably been more effective since he got healthy but we can't count on him. If only we could trade some of those long Slaton runs for more 5-7 yarders. Same YPC in the end but much more productive running game in general.

How would putting Brown in at Guard help the line if he can't handle a bullrush?
 
Vinny said:
he's too weak...Guards need to be able to handle a bullrush from bigger guys than ends...he can't even handle ends.
Click to expand...

Is he really much weaker than Briesel though? I imagine Pitts moving to the more physical RG and Duane moving to LG. No reason he shouldn't be able to handle that with some work, look at Eric Steinbach. Brown seems to be bullrushed and countered inside effectively because he is trying to protect against the outside rush to such a large extent. At guard he would have more help on both sides. Anyway, just my opinion.
 
Fire Richard Snit hand Hoke. Find a real Defensive coordinator. Marvin Lewis might make himself available after this year if so that who we should go after.

From that point on look at our FA options and decide what positions we want to address.I dunno if we NEED a franchise type RB but we need someone that can keep healthy to pair with Slaton.

Brandon Jacobs might be a sledgehammer at RB that we could spell Slaton with but how much will he be looking for? I see Ricky Williams is a UFA as well. Would be nice to see him back in Texas. There might be some interesting guys if some underclassmen declare.

We need some interior line help for sure but I don't see anyone in FA right now that would help without throwing a lot of money at them. Depending on where we draft if there is someone that is a top 20 caliber guard I would be really interested in taking them in the first.

Nnamdi unless tagged again will be looking to make an escape from the blackhole. Chris Gamble would be well deserving of a look but not major money. If Mike Brown could stay healthy I'd love to have him on this team in the secondary. Brian Dawkins will be available but I don't see him leaving Philly. Dansby would be a great pickup if he's not tagged or the Cards show enough to to make him stay. Mike Peterson would be a good pickup and nothing like taking a good player from a division opponent.

Aside from Nnamdi there are two guys I'd love to see us make a serious run at. Terrell Suggs and Julius Peppers are those two guys.

I think if we draft a good interior lineman and sign someone or draft a RB to give a boost to the running game Matt Schaub will be a viable QB.Kubiak has to decide if he wants to keep his job this year and how he plans to move forward.

i think we are miscommunicating somewhat. my point was even if matt was the answer you still have sage as a backup unless we get us another qb. and you had already said that we dont need another qb. we do though, even if its not our starter we need another backup.
 
how many times are we going to watch subpar quarterbacks blow us up deep before you realize we need a safety. Period. Sign of a good defense? They used a high pick on a safety...see

Baltimore-Ed Reed
Pittsburgh- Troy Polamalu
Dallas- Roy Williams
New England- Brandon Merriweather
Washington- Sean Taylor (rip dog...)
NYG- Kenny Phillips


Lee Evans, Calvin Johnson, Yamon Figurs....what do they all have in common? 60+ yard td's against us.

He has size and athleticism, he lacks technique and yes his stamina is poor. Are you ready to send him to the scrap heap or do you wish to keep him at LT? What are your thoughts on Brisiel and Myers? Would you rather draft a highly regarded LT, defender, or perhaps go with a RB? I'm not being combative, I would like to know your opinion.

Personally I would love to see us draft Andre Smith out of Alabama. Everyone will probably say he is too large for the ZBS, but I say he can pass protect and run block and could be what we thought we had in Spencer. If this doesn't happen I would love to see us grab a pass rusher opposite Mario because there are no Albert Haynesworth clones in this draft.
