BillsZone Mock Draft- Texans on the clock

[Dozerdog]

Let's get one of these rolling - we can do another one closer to the draft.



Just like last year, we will present the teams in draft order- you tell us who you think they will take.


We will keep each one open for approximately 24-36 hours.




First on the clock- The Houston Texans

Re: BillsZone Mock Draft

I'll be the first to buck the Mock draft trend- they have been dying for a franchise left tackle since going after Tony Boselli in the expansion draft. Health kept him from ever playing for the Texans- and their OL has been suffering from the start.

Carr could still develop if he wasn't sacked 206 times already in his young career.


Reggie Bush is an outsyanding talent- but a luxury item they can ill afford. They already have decent weapons on offense in Dominic Davis and Andre Johnson- they just need protection.

I'm going with a suprise choice- but filling an obvious need- D'Brickshaw Ferguson- LT , Virginia . They may trade down - possibly with the Jets if they dump Pennington and target Leinert to get this pick. Brick will be a Texan cornerstone for years.

Re: BillsZone Mock Draft

While they certainly should draft Brick, would you want to be the GM who passed up on "the next Barry Sanders?".

The Texans take the biggest game-changing running back to enter the draft in years.

I'd do it in a damn heartbeat because I know two things. 1) football and what it takes to have a good WINNING team and 2) Sanders never sniffed a superbowl for all of his talents. the TEAM he was on, just wasn't good enough.

You take DF if the Texans are smart

Re: BillsZone Mock Draft

Texans arent smart and they take Bush, best pick is Dabrick, but they go for Bush

Re: BillsZone Mock Draft

Hell I will give this a crack. The New Orleans saints take , Jay Cutler.

Yeah I know Lionfart is there, but he is more a product of the TEAM than Cutler. Cuttler to me is more talented and had to do more with less.

Re: BillsZone Mock Draft

you gotta wait till we get to that pick, we are still on Houston

Re: BillsZone Mock Draft

Im a say the Texans shock everyone and go with Vince Young based solely on his performance in the championship game.

Re: BillsZone Mock Draft

Reggie Bush - plain and simple.

Re: BillsZone Mock Draft

it's Bush.. Do you want to be the GM who passed on him if he went to New Orleans or the Titans and became the next Barry Sanders?

Personally, I agree with Doz.. IF I was Houston I'd take Brick. In fact, I'd go one further. I'd draft NOTHING but OL first three picks. In 2-3 years they'd have a line on par with Seattle. Then my grandmother could run for 1400 yards.

But, public pressure and the ability to sell tickets lead Houston to Bush, that's the pick there.

Re: BillsZone Mock Draft

Texans really should trade down.....but they will take Reggie Bush

[vicmantak]

Re: BillsZone Mock Draft

If Texans are a smart organization, they have nothing to lose if they decide to trade down and I can see them destroying Saints plans with the Jets drafting Matt Leinart 1st overall and getting the same Bush at 4th + an extra 2nd and 3rd round pick this year.

Reggie Bush.

Why don't we set something up where we each get assigned a team and have a mock draft that way? Just a suggestion.

We have tried that in the past with mixed results

People pick teams then never show, people with teams complain it moves to slowly, if we move on and pick for an absentee guy- they always show up later complaining we moved on without them.

If we had some people volunteer to run it - take charge- then I'm all for it.
