But if he ends up getting 10 plus sacks every year I think he will have been well worth the pick. If the Texans could get a couple of defensive tackles in there, he would be good to go
he wont throw for any TD's or rush for 100 yards in a game. He will be fine but never worthy of a #1 overall.

they just picked up Zgonina, Jeff from Miami, but he is probably just a temporary fix being so old.
To be fair, some of the Texans moves make Millen look competent.
The Texans are fine, and their O-line is not as bad as people think, alot of the sacks Carr took were because he held onto the ball to long, and was s shocked from the first 3 seasons. Last years line was alot better, with Sherman coming in. Plus they were learning a new scheme. With Winston, and hopefully Spencer getting healty to go along with Jordan black they picked up, and the vets already there they will be just fine. Plus they wont have Carr back their tripping over his own feet every other play. Also if you watched there Defense the last part of the season they improved by leaps and bounds, and thats because Mario had plantar Faci is all season long. Demeco Ryans will be the best linebacker soon enough, that man is a tackling machine. I would go Landry or Reggie Nelson first rd, if not get Matt another weapon to go along with AJ, and take Dwayne Jarrett.
Switching places in the draft, I can see that. But giving up 2nd rounders this year and next year? Damn that's a high price to pay for 'potential'.
I was hoping they'd make a move for AP in the draft but that ended when they picked up Green. Carr had one of the highest pass completion %s in the league last season, if not the highest and still managed to be ineffective. With Schaub and Rosenfels they should be able to find a better QB.
I've seen you on the Houston Texans Forums. You are a smart poster and I agree with what you have said.
completely agree. on the flip side, i think the Texans probably gave up too much to get Schaub.
Ya you may be right, but look at it this way, its apparent the the Texans would have used their 2nd rounder this year to get a QB which they got in Schaub. Swapping first rounders really isnt going to matter that much, because i'm sure they will still get the same guy they were going to get at 8, because AP wasn't going to fall to them. So lets say they get Landry or Nelson, maybe Okoye or a WR to help take pressure off Dre, all of those guys will probably still be there except for maybe Landry. So basically all they gave up was a 2nd in 2008, whicj I dont really like but not as bad as people are making it out to be especially if Matt turns out to be what they were looking for.
1. i thought the Texans gave up 2 second Rounders?
2. i agree, no way AP was falling to 8 anyway
3. with their 10th pick i think the Texans should select Marshawn Lynch. dude is solid and only slightly behind AP, imo...plus, thats only 5 spots higher than most mock drafts have him
4. Ahman Green and Lynch give you a nice 1-2 punch and then get whatever you need starter wise in the 3rd, 4th, & maybe 5th with some free agents
...good luck to 'em.
why do so many posters insist on not making any sense?
i think one of the reasons atlanta wanted to switch first round places with houston was that they also want landry and doing this assures them that they, and not houston will get him.
also, if cleveland doen't take peterson, then who else in the top 9 will?
tampa? they have cadillac williams
arizona? they have edgerrin james
washington? they have clinton portis
minnesota? they're taking a wide reciever...period.
miami? they have ronnie brown, sammy morris
houston takes peterson at 10 and team him with green, who is 30 by the way, and you have yourself a nice 1-2 punch right there that will give schaub a chance to make some plays.
1) They did give up 2 2nd rounders, way to much
2)The Green signing and the Dayne re-signing made it pretty obvious that they had given up on getting AP
3)Texans dont need Marshawn,and Landry will probably go to the Vikings or Falcons. They will select Levi Brown, and finally get LT that can keep the QB safe
4) They already have 4 running backs signed on their roster, I doubt they will take a RB this year unless Michael Bush falls to them in the 4th. They need way to many other things to pick up another RB.
And I say good luck to them as well, I secretly root for them.....
If Detroit takes Quinn, Peterson will be a Brown.
Tampa will take Calvin if he is there
Washington will take Branch
Arizona will take Gaines Adams or Jamaal Anderson
Minnesota will NOT take a reciever here, there isnt another reciever worth taking this high, it will be Landry
If Landry is gone, I could see Atlanta taking Peterson, Dunn is old, and they dont really have a backup, Norwood isnt a every down back
Miami wont take a RB either, Thomas if he is there, if not than Adams or Anderson, whichever is there
Then Houston, which even if Peterson is there (which he could be) I still dont think they would take. I am convinced they will take Levi
I think Adrian will end up with Buffalo, I think they will trade up if he gets past the Browns to get him, maybe to the Skins spot which they have been shopping
If Schaub turns out to be as good as a lot of people say he will....it will be another case of the ATL letting go of a backup QB just to have him find success elsewhere. Where have we seen this before? Hmmm......
(and no, I am not saying Schaub is or will ever be as good as the afore-referenced player.)
Yeah they gave up two 2nds but one of those got the schuab.
One of those and switching 2 picks in the 1st, way too much, especially because they probably wont ge higher than a 5th for Carr
Texans | Schaub signs
Thu, 22 Mar 2007 09:22:51 -0700
John McClain, of the Houston Chronicle, reports the Houston Texans have signed restricted free-agent QB Matt Schaub to a six-year contract worth $48 million with $7 million guaranteed. Schaub will receive $20 million in the first three years. If Schaub stays with the team the last three years of the contract, the Texans will have to pay Schaub a $10 million option bonus in 2010. The Texans paid QB David Carr an $8 million option in 2006 to keep him for the last three years of his contract.
Texans | Carr to be traded
Thu, 22 Mar 2007 10:52:49 -0700
ESPNews reports Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith said that QB David Carr will be traded as soon as Thursday, March 22.
Switching two picks in the first isn't really a big deal cause i'm more than sure that the guy they are targeting will be there at 10.
I am too, but the 2 2nds are a hefty price for a backup qb
exactly...the 1st rounders get the headlines and the money but the 2nd rounders are the ones that play 10-11 solid years and help form the foundation of a team.
i know i'm generalizing...but overall i believe that's the way it shakes out..
Well, especially because their pick this year was the 39th I believe, which is pretty much a 1st, and if they have another bad year next year, it could be around the same as well. The Falcons really put it to them
makes me wonder if houston was just dumb or that desparate.
