"A sports talk radio station in Dallas this week reported the Houston Texans and Vikings are working on a trade involving receiver Troy Williamson. The Texans were interested in drafting Williamson last year and reported to be high on his potential."

Saw this at HPF, thought it might make for good/different discussion.
 
Well, let's see.

We give up the number one pick to the Vikings, and in return we get Williamson, their 1st & 2nd round picks this year, and their 1st and 2nd round picks next year . . .

. . . yeah, that'll work for me.

So within 48-72 hours of the time that Kubiak is announced as the Texans new HC, he's working on a trade with the Vikings for a WR ? OK

This would be a fun thing to kick around if it wern't so far fetched. What does
make it a bit of a teaser is that it is well known we were very interested in Williamson as our top Draft pick last April. But we have so many more needs
of a higher priority than a #2 WR, like a DE & MLB for our new 4-3 and on the O side we need another tackle and TE.
 
As someone at HPF suggested, if the Texans are after Williamson, they are likely trading away a player like DD. No way they are dropping that far off #1 (when you suck as bad as we have you better take one of the blue chippers) and no way do I see the Vikes trading Williamson away for a second or third.
 
If we draft Reggie maybe we can trade DD for Williamson. I'm not real sure about the salary cap penalties or anything. But if we can do that I would do it.

Reggie is :superman:

Exactly, we posted at the same time.:cool:
 
So what's with Williamson? Did he turn out to be a bust, or what?

he never really saw the field. I think he was either 4th or 5th on the depth chart.

certainly doesnt appear good enough for us to move out of the top 5.

Not real sure but Wr's take time to develop unless your name is Randy Moss.
 
According to HPF, it would be for DD. (therefore being able to get Bush) But who knows.......this rumor doesn't make sense at this time.

i rather go for T.O he wont cost us nothing but money and we would still get bush. i think i would like that Carr Bush AJ TO

Both Crazy and beautiful. the problem is the first bad game Carr has, TO would be talking smack and .....BAD
but if TO didn't loose his cool...WOW! unstoppable. provided we got an oline with the rest of our picks and a little d

dont forget DD

so thats Carr,AJ, BUSH, DD, T.O.--

Unfortunately, if you mention Bush or Young in a thread people take an otherwise worthwhile thread and run with it to make the same arguments that have been stated for the last at least three weeks.

If this did happen resigning Wells would be a must.
 
Williamson is good, would make a real good 2nd receiver. Isn't Koren Robinson a FA, if he is why not go after him and no need to loose a DD or someone like him, unless we get rid of a couple dead weight

There is no way T.O is coming here. that would b a bad move. Sure he has talent but he is the biggest pain in the *** the NFL has. He will ruin the clubhouse, yell at carr and the rest of the team, and do all kinds of bad things. We don't need him
 
I think this would b a tremendous trade. Horrible 4 the vikings. I'll take an extra 2nd round pick this year and an extra 1st and 2nd next year plus troy williamson who has talent 2 b a top 10 WR in about 5-6 years
 
I could see us trading something like Domanic Davis and one of our 3rd rounders for Troy Williamson (he is a young player that was drafted high..he isnt cheap)

It would be a great trade for us if it went like that.. though I would HATE to see Domanick Davis go.. it would open the door for Bush and make the pick more acceptable to people.

Troy Williamson is a south carolina alum, so im not surprised that we could be making a move for him.. Mr. McNair keeps an eye on his USC grads.

...and when Madden '07 comes out, everyone will want the Texans for that WR speed (provided the game is as speed oriented as it is now).

I admit that I have played the Texans since '05 because of their receivers (and DD who is the best RB receiver outside of LT). If the Texans have that many players with 94+ speed they would just be unstoppable on offense. Shotgun 4 wide bunch all day long! :ok:
 
Not that it matters... but the Viking fans seem to be VERY interested in a trade involving Domanick Davis for Troy Williamson.
 
We trade DD for Williamson the VY crowd will be opening a vein as that makes it a lead pipe cinch we take Bush.
 
I dunno.. on the one hand.. getting Williamson would be great.. and if we ARE going to take Bush.. then dealing Domanick Davis doesnt sound terrible (much as id hate to see him leave)

On the other hand.. this deal would probably involve Davis and one of our picks (probably one of our thirds since we have the top two in that round).. and I just dont know... it makes our situation MORE precarious if you think about it.

Getting Williamson would not help the problems with our offense.. and losing one of our first day picks would make it more difficult for us to address all of those problems. Additionally.. losing Davis would mean that if Bush DIDNT work out.. we have nothing at RB. On the other hand.. the Denver system doesnt necessarily require a superstar at RB to function..so it may not hurt us THAT much.

I also imagine that this deal would require us to take over Williamson's contract.. and Minnesota to take over Davis' contract... I wonder if the trade would help our cap or hurt it.
 
if I were for DD straightup, I'd jump all over it.. Wells and Vernon pretty much give us the same as DD rushing wise and receiving wise might be a different story, but with a trade like this we'd have a #2 WR and we'd still need a TE and OL to go with the Offense..

and yes and while I am dreaming,but if we worked a deal to move to #4 and gained the Jets #1 pick next year along with a 3rd this year.. I'd settle for 2 #1's next year to work with.

we'd end up with #4 overall..#2 and 3 #3's.. And out of that I'd love to see OL,TE,Defense and defense..

next year if Peterson had a big year and he declared.. work a deal next year for him

:drool:
 
also... about Williamson taking over as our #2 WR... he wasnt able to do that in Minnesota.. even with Moss being gone. So he may not exactly be a huge upgrade over what we have. Not at this point in his career anyway.
 
What would our best 4 wide set be in yall's opinions...within the scope of possibility..or not, i dont care. To do 4 wide sets often (which i am for) we need an inpenatrable line. Imagine occasionaly running AJ in a tight end spot waddya think? do some crazy mix and matches just to screw up opposing D.C.'s

Aj
Mathis
Armstrong
T.O.

Bush/DD

Then throw it to Armstrong because he'll be open (and those HANDS!)

Like i said...crazy

very true.. he has got to be better than bradford ..right?
 
i think what the consensus is, that we would send the vikings a player, probably davis for williamson. then use Wells and Bush as a thunder and lightning combo
 
If we manage to retain Gaffney (not a sure thing..considering his agent).. then we would be able to field an amazing group of receivers.

AJ
Williamson
Gaffney
Mathis
Bush

That is some major speed.. and Gaffney and Bush both have great hands.

with a good OC (HOORAY FOR KOOB!!!) we could create some amazing mismatches.

All we would need is an Oline that can pass block (hah)
