The Texans Took Who?!

The Texans Took Who?!?
Current mood: amused

Hahahahahhahaha. Laugh. That's about all you can do when the number one team in the draft takes a defensive lineman over who could potentially end up being the best running back/receiver/return man in NFL history.

If you don't want to take Bush because you want hometown hero Vince Young to bring in the ticket buyers, fine, that makes sense, but don't even try to pass off this bullshit like you took Williams over Bush because it was the right "football" move.



a) It was a horrible football move. You just drafted a D Lineman over the consensus number 1 football player in the entire draft


b) It wasn't a good personnel move. Last I checked, Houston won 2 games last year...so they're saying, by focusing the majority of their picks on defense, that David Carr and Dominack Davis are a good offensive duo. I think I'd actually qualify them as just plain offensive.


c) It wasn't a good business decision. They just paid a number 2-5 pick 1st pick money. Didn't it occur to them that they could have traded to almost anyone in the first five spots, still gotten Mario Williams and paid him money that he's worth? I'm sorry, but no rookie D lineman, regardless of how good he may become someday, is worth 6 years at 54 million. Let's be real, the only person worth that type of money is someone scoring touchdowns for you...Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Vernon Davis. How many touchdowns do the Texans think Williams will score for them this season?

Good luck Houston. With this type of draft, you most certainly have a problem, and, more importantly, you now deserve to lose every game for the next five years with that type of draft day intelligence.
