Thanks for your support!
I can understand how Mario would be considered the Texans best choice as he was A.) selected when most people thought Reggie Bush or Vince Young was a better choice and B.) He became a cornerstone on our defense that lacked talent besides DeMeco Ryans.
However, if it were up to me here is what I would have to say:
Best Choice: Andre Johnson hands down. Even with a weak offensive line and a quarterback with serious flaws, he found a way to produce and put points up on the board for the Texans.
Best Value: This is a tough one as I am stuck between DeMeco Ryans and Owen Daniels. However, I'm going to say it has to be Ryans. Productive and the obvious leader on our young defense, Ryans was a nice surprise in the 2nd round.
Worst Pick: There are so many players worthy of distinction so its hard to choose from. I would have to say Travis Johnson. He was supposed to be a major impact player at DT, yet, he came of as lazy and would flat out give up on plays. This, and he was also a punk on the field (e.g. Taunting Trent Green who was injured and on the ground helpless)

worst pick by far was David Carr. set back the franchise five years or more depending on your viewpoint. Just imagine we could have drafted Peppers instead
Amobi Okoye followed by K. Jackson are the worst picks in the last five drafts. K. Jack can still redeem himself but Amobi is what he is. A very average player in the NFL.

Judging Jackson after one year in a TERRIBLE secondary is a bit harsh in my opinion.
I think both players can still redeem themselves with new scheme & coaching, at least we can hope.
Duane Brown was a pick people were furious about. In retrospect he was a solid selection
I JUST GOT IT...
worst selection ever...ignore my previous post!
#2 RB Tony freaking Hollings
Way to outmanuever the rest of the NFL Charley.
Here are the 2nd round picks we've lost:
1. gave one away moving up for Babin
2. gave one up for Hollings supplemental pick
3. gave one up fo PBuchanan
4/5. gave away 2 for Matt Schaub

Its really no wonder this team is in the state its in. The life blood of this team should be 2's and 3's. And as i posted earlier in the thread we've missed on a lot of 3's. As Dale highlighted...our 2's have down right sucked. We cant afford to miss on 1's and free agency if we're going to do that.
Why is this even a discussion?
It's Andre Johnson hands down.
Past 5 years, I'd argue that the best was Owen Daniels or Demeco, not Mario. Mario was taken #1 overall. He's supposed to be a beast.
OK, how is the Titans spending the #3 overall pick for Vince Young not their worst choice? No matter what you think of the guy the bottom line he is no longer a member of their team (or won't be by whenever the next kickoff comes).
I'm so glad I was dedicated to picking Mario instead of Bush or Young. The boards here must have been a war zone, lol.
I think you have every reason to write off Okoye at this point, but hold off on doing the same with Kareem because it's way too early to say he's a bust, though no doubt his first year was disappointing.
Wow, that leaves Ryans as the only second round pick to ever really make a significant contribution to the team.
3rd round is a little better but not great
Pitts
Dave Ragone RULZZZ!!! Wait, what??!?!?
:mariopalm: Bill!
Best: AJ
Worst: OkOye
Suprising: Winston
1.Worst trade: Babin, This genious move by Casserly set this franchise back so far they are still trying to recover.
2. Followed up by the brilliance of the P-Burnt trade.
My god the front office of the Texans has been really screwed up for a decade and counting.
While you and I disagree on many issues, I kinda think you're spot on here.... (Repped)

DeMeco was our best pick. Mario is way too inconsistent and is hurt all the time. DeMeco has only been hurt one time. I hate to say it, but Mario is just like Julius Peppers in Carolina, only shows up when he wants to.
I still think VY has the potential to be a great QB. Fisher simply handled him wrong by treating him like a man. If he lands in the right situation, I think he's got a lot of great football left in him.
Mario's never missed a game...DeMeco missed quite a bit now and may never come close to where he was pre-injury. I respect the hell out of Ryans and think that he was the best value pick we've ever had, but to act like he's miles ahead of Williams is wrong.
Busting on Mario Williams for being hurt all the time is wrong. He's gutted it out for this team his entire career so far. Other athletes would have taken time off but the shitty reception Williams got on draft day seems to have fueled his desire to play through anything. He doesn't play hurt...he plays injured and in the long run, it's probably going to nag him...but I respect him for working for his checks.
VY would of been boss here we would Of prob made the playoffs by now if he was here
Just image him in a red texans uni he would be boss
