The Texans' Draft Dilemma

**Tribal Warfare** · 01-05-2006, 09:45 PM

The Texans are going to be have conundrum to solve if Vince Young declares his draft status. The reasoning there will be if they draft Vince they'll sell-out all their home games.Due to Youngs' great ability,and Vinces' Micheal Vick like excitability as a player. Thus could leave David Carr the odd man out.Here's the question I'm focusing on if Carr goes on the trading block would Carl give up a multiple picks to attain him, and that's excluding the first.Trent isn't getting any younger

Drafting Young to sell tickets is a stupid move.

A year from now, if Young is no good, Texans fans aren't going to give a shit if he's from their state. Winning teams fill stands, not gimmicks. The Texans should draft the guy that's most likely to make their team better. Maybe they'll determine that's Young anyway, but if they are choosing players because of silly shit like that, they're in a world of trouble.

I don't think teams think that way anyway. It's just more bullshit to give the media rhetoric.

It has occured before with other lower tier organizations, I'm just covering all realms of possibility

They might indeed draft Young, but I doubt he's any higher than a second round pick.

That throwing motion is going to give most teams something to think twice about.

If the Texans draft anything other than an Offensive Tackle, they would deserve to be nuked.

**Iowanian** · 01-05-2006, 10:03 PM

As many holes as they have, I wouldn't be suprised if they trade out of that spot.

I agree, they don't need a running back or quarterback. Build that line and get a offensive coach, then they could have a good team.

Carr is likely to be cut. The team has the option to pick up his option for the next three years, or release him with no cap hit. I don't recall the exact numbers to pick up the remaining 3 years, but it's big, way too big. Every team in the NFL knows this. The Texans may restructure his contrtact after they hire a coach, maybe, but I think they will let him test the FA market.

BTW the Texans ARE desperate to put fans in the seats.

Al Saunders is talking like he wants to coach in Houston.

The Texans are in awe of the numbers the Chiefs offense puts up. It's all over their website, AND he interviewed to be the Texans coach when Capers got the job.

Vince Young is a potential game breaking toy.

Al Saunders loves his toys.

The Texans have a very good running back.

The Texans have a Pro-bowl kick returner.

The Texans have a better recieving corps than the Chiefs IMHO.

A lot has to happen, but then again, not that much.

If Saunders end up coaching the Texans, they take Reggie Bush. Saunders couldn't pass up a toy like that.

If someone smart ends up with the job, they trade down a few if possible, but ultimately take D'Brickashaw Ferguson.

If Al Saunders goes to Houston, Vince Young isn't going to be there. Our offense is about a pocket QB making the throws, not a Micheal Vick type of player.

Young is probably a better QB than Vick ever thought about being.

Vince is a damn good pocket QB too, the great elusiveness and mobility is a bonus.

I'll agree to disagree with you guys, he needs alot of work.

**banyon** · 01-06-2006, 12:39 AM

The real question is: would you prefer a Carr/ Reggie Bush backfield or a Leinart-Vince Young/Domanack Davis Backfield?

I think the latter is preferable.
