Worst off-season move so far?

[Bobo]

Au contraire! Drafting Reggie Bush would be the worst move they could make by far. They already have Dom Davis and they have so many other needs. They'd better try to parlay their pick into a bunch of selections or they will be in the cellar for years. Plus, Reggie Bush is no sure thing. Remember Lawrence Phillips, Curtis Enis, Kianna Carter and Archie Griffin? No college RB is a sure thing in the pros -- especially with a bad offensive line. Just look at the crop of rookie RBs that were taken with first-round picks this year. Most are either under-performing or hurt.

 

[Bobo]

Where as I agree with you and think we have more needs to address other than getting Bush, with what he has done in his college career, is he too good to pass up?

Two words: Archie Griffin.

 

[TheBeastIsBest]

Do the Texans have all of their draft picks for this year or were some of them traded away last year?

 

[Coach C.]

the texans have 8 picks this year.

 

[Hardcore Texan]

Too bad we have so many choices! The fact they we do should implicate Casserly.

Anyway, gotta go with the PBUC trade. It is going to be hard to recover from this horrible year without a couple key pics. How are we supposed to gain ground on other teams?

[TexanExile]

I totally agree with that. This team just didn't do much last year. There weren't TONS of big-name FAs out there last summer, but it didn't seem to stop the cap-strapped COLTS from signing another major defensive player. And thinking about so many other teams who made moves, while the Texans just waved buh-bye to legit starters, I sure as heck hope that all this 2006 cap room won by those moves will be worth it.

I said it then and I'll say it now. If Morlon Greenback is your big-name FA acquisition, you have a LOT of 'splaining to do.

yeah, and i wouldve had no problem with the TJ pick if Gary walker had pulled a boselli on us or something, but he didnt.

everyone says this year how we shouldnt draft bush and should go for a need, but just last year we passed many needs and drafted a guy to be a backup with our 1st rd pick.

Bush is a need IMO, we NEED him in the backfield, we NEED him lined up in the slot, we NEED him touching the ball.

well either way. Our DL is long in the tooth.. Payne and Walker are nearing the end of the career.. jury is out on TJ because if the veterans groom him right and next season or season after that Payne and Walker are gone.. If groomed he should be ready to be a monster. If he isn't in 2 years, I say that it was a bad pick

 

[Wolf]

BTW I know this is a little off of the subject.. but how would you compare the LT's of last year's draft (who are playing RT now) to the LTs being hyped this year?
I am just saying maybe the staff felt this year was a better year for LT.. I have no idea and just saying

 

[TexanFanInCC]

i would like to add one. replacing jeff posey for charlie clemons

 

[phan1]

My Gawd. thanks for reminding me how bad Casserly has F'd up this entire franchise...

 

[Goldeagle]

Is there a "all of the above" option?

 

[aj.]

Greenwood did get a very small signing bonus ($800k I think) though so we could cut him with little or no adverse effect ($600k cap hit next year) if we decided to do so.

Greenwood got a $7 mil signing bonus. He isn't going anywhere for a couple more years at least.

Greenwood carries nearly a $4 million cap hit next year. Thank your GM.

Greenwood's bases: (add 1.4 million each year for his approximate cap hit - count 1.4 million dead money on the cap for each year prior to '09 when he's cut)

2005 $540,000
2006 $2,511,000
2007 $3,264,000
2008 $4,017,000
2009 $4,768,000

Where's the "$30 million in bonuses for Todd Wade, Robaire Smith and Gary Walker with contracts through '09" selection?

I say first releasing Jamie Sharper followed closely by not drafting Derrick Johnson or one of those big 3 OL.


By the way wasn't Tony Hollings drafted in the supplemental draft? If this came up already I appoligize but He wasn't even a real second round draft pick.

oh he most definitely was a real second round draft pick.

we used our first pick in the second round (of the april draft) to pick him up in the supplemental draft.

 

[bigcarlos]

I say DJ

 

[TexansJunkE]

not even close....the Babin pick was the worst. "We could have gotten"
Ben Troupe in the 2nd (there goes the tight end need)
Randy Starks in the 3rd ( no need to get Travis Johnson)

Then in turn we could have gotten D. Johnson this past year!
Then again Cass. is the one pulling the strings? What a joke! Fire Cass!!!!!!!!:brickwall

 

[LBblitz]

this isnt fair...can i have 9 picks?

 

[stevo3883]

this isnt fair...can i have 9 picks?

*in Al Davis Voice* only if you trade me 18 picks.... trust me, its worth it
