Your crazy if you think Mario Williams is the media Golden Child. That would be Reggie Bush. For a second year player that is a half a sack from leading the league is pretty incredible. And just maybe Houston did get it right when they drafted Williams over Bush.
Proper answer. The texans are 0-4 in the division versus 7-3 outside.
any one of those backs on the Texans should be considered as a first or second round FF pick in 2008, IMO.Someone like a Rashard Mendenhall, Jonathan Stewart, or Michael Turner would really help this team.So would another d-back or twtherwise, I'm turning into a fan of this team. The AFC south is the best division in football. Yes, better than the NFC west.
They won't touch Turner after the Ahman Green debacle. As far as the other 2 guys, if either is a fumbler, they have no chance to be drafted by Kubiak. That is the reason Dayne is still carrying the ball for Kubiak. He hates fumblers and if you fumble, you sit with Joe E. and Chris Taylor on the bench. I beleive Stewart fumbles. Not sure about Mendenhall.Someone like a Rashard Mendenhall, Jonathan Stewart, or Michael Turner would really help this team.So would another d-back or tw

They have some nice players. DeMeco anyone? Not to mention Dunta Robinson will be back next year. I just think they're emerging, and keep in mind they were without Andre Johnson for a stretch. If they stop Kerry Collins in Houston, then they're at 8-6 and is maybe the favorite for the #6 spot.Indy is nice, but I think they're in decline, and the cap is catching up to them. Jacksonville has some big holes on defense. I think it's a three-horse race in that division next year, and the Titans aren't awful either (they just have big QB issues).

I don't know if they'd spend the $, but Turner has nothing to do with the injury-ridden, elder RB. They have a great core group with Mario, Ryans, Okoye, and Dunta Robinson on D; AJ and some other ok pieces on offense. If their OL and RB get rolling, they'll be #2 in the division. As a Titans fan, I don't like seeing the Texans shaping up like this; as a football fan, I like how they're doing it.
Wrong on all counts. 0-3, better luck next post. 1. Not the media golden child2. not too far from Kampman/Allen level, in his 2nd year (arguably, on the same level, potentially better)3. Seems to be the best player in the draft right now. Who would you have taken over him, with the benefit of hindsight? Perhaps VY or Cutler, but that isn't the way they wanted to build.
I think the Titans have WR issues that hampers their QB's development.
Andre Johnson makes a big difference in this team.This season they are 2-5 in the games he missed due to knee injuryThey are 5-2 when he is playing

Not a bad option. Tashard Choice (Georgia Tech), Matt Forte (Tulane), Kevin Smith (UCF), and Ray Rice (Rutgers) would all be great options in rounds 2+. Lots of decent-to-good RBs available this year.
With the talent at RB I don't think Hart will be that high. Could probably get him in the late 4th early 5th when things are all said and done.Hart in the 3rd round.I see.

Yes.
Could be, but it depends on whether the team wants to rely on a rookie if they believe they're on the verge of making a move in the conference.I'm not sure what their cap situation is, but they will probably have some FA money to spend. RB may just be one of those spots they decide upon, and use the draft for other positions. Maybe it won't be Turner, but Kubiak undoubtedly is familiar with his material when he coached in Denver.Should be interesting in any event, as whoever is running the ball may have serious value.I see.

If it were me running the show, I'd use my FA money on one of the available corners (Samuel, Trufant, Deangelo Hall) and draft a running back.Easier for a rookie RB to make an impact than a corner.
Nope.But if you think that's all the Texans have going for them you really haven't been paying attention.
I believe Houston is slated to have about 23M is cap space for 2008 right now.
Watch out! They should be a player in the FA market with that number.
Usually a good idea to steal from the division rival.
I wonder how the Colts' cap situation is. I'm sure they'd love to keep him but he's going to cost a lot.
Hart would be an absolute steal in the 4th, he really should be a first day pick. A few months ago, he was a bona fide 1st rounder. Kubiak will love Hart, as he doesn't fumble often. If they don't go after Turner, there's no doubt IMO that he'll be their RB.kevinray said:With the talent at RB I don't think Hart will be that high.

I must have missed when Mario Williams became the media golden child. He had some rookie growing pains last year as a Texan, but this year he has played lights out, and he will only get better. The Texans made the right choice in making him their first round pick.bcr8f said:
Williams and Okoye sure looks better now that Bush and Meachem. I am wondering if the Saints know what they are doing at the draft.
Actually, the media is spending alot of time making up for the crap the heaped on Williams for NOT being Bush or Young.Whether he was worthy of the top pick - and I still have my doubts - he is having an excellent year and is playing very well.The media seems to just be saying 'hey we might have been wrong about this kid'.I think theColts will still be the class of the division, but the Texans do look like they could make a move upwards, depending on their off season.greenroom said:
I think the number is actually closer to $35M.GregR, I agree with most of your assessment. Though, I think Demps is here to stay. Our first priority should be to lock up Andre Davis who will be an UFA. Then I think our areas to address should be SS, OLB, OL, and RB. A RDE would also be nice, something like a 3rd down specialist.I would prefer to address the secondary via FA and RB in the draft but so long as they address all of those areas I don't mind how they do it. I think the number one FA I would be pursuing would be Alan Faneca. Weary is an UFA even if he's able to play next season so we could use a guard and Faneca is better than anyone on our OL. I also wouldn't mind seeing them pick up a really big space eating DT to improve the run defense.Nate said:
He's been very good. He was on the brink of being cut coming into the season and he has definitely stepped up his play. He's not much of a pass rusher but he does well at stopping the run and he has batted down several passes this year. He hasn't been exceptional but he is definitely a valuable part of the rotation.
We don't have a 2nd rounder, as we traded last year's 2nd and next year's 2nd for Schaub. If we go RB in the draft, unless we pick up some extra picks somewhere or there is a great steal in the 3rd, I'd rather wait until the 4th or later to get one. I think the needs on OL and at CB are more.As for Phillips, I'm not studied up enough on next year's draft class to really give any opinion. Secondary help is definitely needed. If they have a corner and a safety rated equal I'd much rather go corner. But if a safety shows up at our pick who is much better than the corners available, I wouldn't argue with taking him. Of course what they can do in free agency will have a big role there, fill one need there and then that can free up draft picks. Lots of RB out there in FA this year, I'd be fine with getting one from FA.
