If we could work out getting three picks for 1, that's a heck of a bargain. A, 1st pick #8, 2nd pick 39th, and 73rd in the third for our number 6 in the first round? That's a no brainer.
This could be just what the DR. ordered. Hope this works, we need the picks!
I really doubt we'd get three picks that high though. Its different with Denver because according to the "point scale", our first round pick is worth about 3 to 4 times as much as theirs if not more, so thats why they need to give those 2nd/3rd round picks too. I wouldnt mind doing it for the Texans 1st and 3rd round picks, then maybe trading down again and picking up somthing else.

I wouldn't get too worked up about this -- it all seems to fall on whether Brady Quinn makes to #6.
He won't last that long.

Not sure what the Texans are thinking. Carr hasn't played that bad. It's not like Brady Quinn can come in as a rookie and do any better right away. He's going to need time. I guess the Texans think that they have a top defense of a great o-line. Isn't this the team that drafted M. Wiliams?

Wiliams?Quinn would probably sit behind Carr for a year, but if you think our offense was conservative under Brunell, the Houston offense under Carr would have put you to sleep. On top of that, Carr had more INTs than TDs, and Brunell had double the TDs of his INTs, so Carr wasn't even that good at the conservative offense.
Quinn could play alright as a rookie, but I agree that if the Texans want to improve their middle ranked passing game on last year, their best chance is w/ Carr.
Carr's future beyond this year is not as a starter though.

I agree with Beems--it's seriously doubtful that Quinn falls to 6. But if he does...

Whatever direction we decide to go in the draft. this team needs an impact player on defense. 31st in total defense, 19 sacks, league record for fewest turnovers. We need draft picks also that can eventually become starters not just a bunch of also-rans that may not even make the team.

well, with it looking like the browns have a much higher chance to take quinn than peterson now, i'm not going to get too worked up.

The Texans have been doing a lot of talking with Washington, currently at the No. 6 slot, about a deal. That makes sense because Redskins coach Joe Gibbs, who finally seems convinced that you can't buy a Super Bowl with free agents and actually have to invest in some draft picks once in a while, wants to slide down out of the No. 6 slot and amass extra choices.
Does he seriously have to take a shot at the Skins out of personal spite every single time? He has to be the most unprofessional writer out there.
He loves to take shots at the Skins almost as much as he likes an 8th helping of pie.
