    'Super' Mario to Texans?

    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/football/nfl/04/10/williams.texans.ap/index.html


    Are the Texans serious about passing over Young, Leinert and Bush to take Mario? According to ESPN, the Texans were ready to begin negotitations. Are they just trying to lower Bush's price?

    Owner Bob McNair said that Williams could have as much an impact on D as Bush could on Offense. Bush would obviously sell more tickets and create more buzz - but...

    Consider the facts: Look at their division... AFC South. The Texans also have one of the worst defenses in the league and have to face Indy twice a year.

    How would this shake the draft? The Saints don't want Bush, they don't want a QB, and they'd be willing to trade down.

    Thoughts?

    Where did you read the Texans have begun negotiations with Mario Williams? I had read that they had begun negotiations with Reggie Bush. All teams have visits. This just keeps them aware of their options should some team offer them the moon for Bush.

        i heard that too that the Texans would begin Negotiations with Bush, Young, and Williams, which is their right at the #1 pick.

            Although they may be actually saying this I think it is a load of ..... I still say he goes no higher than 4. The Saints will take Liny or trade out of the 2 spot.

              I think the saints will take Fergy or trade down and take fergy. all though, if they stay at 2...almost gotta assume Mario has to be the guy there. but i donno. they don't NEED him, Smith and Grant are both good and people to build with. If the saints don't trade back, i think that is the only way Mario DOESN'T make it to #5.

                The ESPN guy Todd McShay sp ? said deep down the Jets really want Ferguson. On ESPN radio he didn't feel like there was any way they trade up and had Mario going to NO. Then a debate amongst the Titans coaches and GM/scouts. Coaches prefer Leinart and scouts want Young.

                    Yes it is; did I read you are going to the draft party at Lambeau ? I'm debating. The bad part is GB picks so early and the party closes around end of round.

                      I was thinking about it...but my buddy, whom i'm going to try to get on here next week, has a 105 inch HDTV Home Theatre....yeah...it's that good. and he has theatre seats, and a popcorn maker...we're actually going to set up our own mock draft that morning in his basement with some white boards, etc. we're geeks, but this is our 4th annual draft day party, and we love it. the women leave for the weekend and we do it up.

                          If Bush doesn't go number one I will eat one piece of cat poop, then a steak.

                              THAT IS AWESOME; good thing I'm not in the area or I'd crash the party with my own draft board as well.
