When I heard we drafted Mario Williams instead of Reggie Bush my first initial thought was...."Once again good ole Charlie fell for everybody else saying they have Mario real high on their draft board."
I was upset that we weren't getting the most exciting player in the draft in Vince Young and the best RB to come in the draft in Reggie Bush. I thought for sure Bush since no Vince for sure.
After spending the weekend trying to figure out why, I am a little more accepting of the pick. Just mad that we were never able to trade down to get this guy and as a result had to draft him over Reggie.
After seeing the rest of the draft pan out and hearing how the Texans made every effort available to get Bush though, and him not come to an agreement, I am not so sure I am mad about it anymore.
It has appeared evident that Kubiak wants to be able to control the line of scrimmage offensively and defensively. I think we can all agree that we suck in that department over the last four years. This is probably the draft we should've had last year.
Bush would be great but for the price I don't think he would be that great especially if Carr can't get the time to throw him the ball. Based on what he did in negotiations I am sure he would be full of himself if he was great and/or the team would not care for him much if he wasn't all he advertised thus splitting up a team that has kept it's cohesiveness.
I like the picks we did in the later rounds on the first day. Ryans should go well with Williams. We did nice by getting Winston in the 3rd (and the later 3rd at that) If anything, we created depth which is something this team has lacked. On the second day we did ok with the TE in round 4. I know we were going for David Thomas but NE picked him in the 3rd and this guy seems to be of the same mold. Speaking of mold, Eric Moulds was our 5th rounder so not bad. I don't know of the other guys.
I know it is not fancy but you can tell that a team is being built. If anything I don't see us going backwards like last years draft did. I guess this is what it is like to have a real football coach handle things.
I'm not going to lie though. Even though I feel okay about the draft. I need to feel better. Can you guys point out anything I missed that could help?
