OK so now its a choice between D'brick and Reggie

[Eyeguy]

If we don't get Givens, i think we should get Bush. He will be our 2nd WR along with being our rb. Getting around 17-20 carries a game Davis gets around 10-12 a game, while playing WR on passing downs.

Only question is, we have to see how polished he is or can be as a WR. I think the coaching staff will look into that greatly.

Then we (hopefully) draft a Eric WInston, or the best LIneman available at the 33.

Probably LB and CB for the 65th, and 66th picks.. Then the rest is just BPA.

Ditto. Think about having Bush, DD, AJ, Mathis and Putzier on the field at the same time. If you can get some time to throw we will be hard to stop.

Mathis deep out
AJ crossing slant
Bush on a flair
Putzier up the middle
DD through middle for screen

This is not an actual play but rather the types of routes each can exploit.

So, Pitts, McKinney, Hodgson/FA, Weigert, Wade? I still dont feel that great about that lineup. I would like to get a Center in FA and draft Davin Joseph in the 2nd round. But it is looking more and more like its Reggie with the 1st overall.

I am not at all satisfied with this offensive line. Wade is not suited for a zone blocking scheme IMO. Plus McKinney is coming up on his 31st b-day, Wade on his 30th, and Weiger on his 34th. Its not promising when your best O-lineman is in his mid 30s.

 

[Wild.Bill]

Most linemen play into their later 30's. I'm not satisfied with our current lineup either, however I would be happy with the following:
LT - Pitts
LG - McKinney
C - Flanagan
RG - Weiger
RT - Johnathon Scott

 

[CITY CAT]

Have we signed Flanagan officialy?

No one has asked them about Ferguson, all they have talked about is Vince and Reggie, and trading down. They didnt say who they would tradedown for, what NFL GM tells everyone who he is going to move up/down for, that would be stupid. They hadnt said anything about Mario Williams either, but we all thought that he was an option. So what does them talking about him have to say bout anything. Plus GMs and coaches love to blow smoke, thats what they do this time of year, so them not talking about Ferguson may actaully be an indicator that they are really interested in him. AND EVERY ONE KNOWS THAT PITTS INST A FRANCHISE LT, NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY. HE IS SERVICABLE, BUT NOT IN ANY WAY AN TOP NFL CALIBER TACKLE.


Show me the articles that say that Mario Williams is over Ferguson. You may have 1 or 2 but really show were this has become the unanimouse NFL decision that Williams is the better player.

I am 100% sure that you have never seen the draft board and that your GUESS is no better than mine. And your guarentee is pointless to me, because... who are you to say that any way.

Well you can continue to believe whatever pipe dreams you want and I will continue to believe what I know. I would almost be willing to put money down that the Texans won't draft Vince or D'Brick, but my conscience would have a problem with me taking someone's money like that.

the reason people here rate mario higher(which i understand) is that he is head and shoulders above the other de's. dbrick is also the best lt but there isnt as much of a gap- many feel we may get winston or another at 33. whar de can we get there? anyway this is irrelevant as we've signed weaver. to be honest now that ive thought about- unless somebody sells the farm- we're taking reggie

Good to see someone people are getting it.

I doubt Wade sticks around after June 1. He isn't overly good and doesn't fit a zone blocking scheme very well at all. I think that is the one position they will look to upgrade, either draft a RT or draft a RG and move Wiegert back to RT, or maybe even draft a RT in the 2nd round (Colledge is probably the best fit that is likely to be there) and a OG in the later rounds to replace Wiegert in a year or beat Wiegert out so they can maybe cut him and save another $2.8 million against the cap (Chris Chester from Oklahoma would be a great OG/C in a zone blocking scheme and should be available at #97).

i still hope to get a trade but NO taking brees will screw that up. if that happens a trade-down is too dodgy imo unless its some1 like miami that takes it(ie.for leinart)

Why wouldn't anyone want to trade for Reggie?

 

[HJam72]

Oh, I bet someone will still make an offer for #1. It just takes time.

 

[Maddict5]

Why wouldn't anyone want to trade for Reggie?

they could eg the jets but then its dangerous- what if reggie,d'brick,mario are the 1st 3 taken- the 3 elite players we wanted are gone- while hawk or huff are good players they arent what we are looking for
