    I didn't know Schaub was traded to the Texans

    Jeff (California): So Matt Schaub just got traded to the Texans for a 2nd round pick, how does that change what the Texans do in the first round?

    Mel Kiper: (1:37 PM ET ) It doesn't effect the Texans, because they weren't going to be getting Quinn anyway. If you look at what they've done - added Ahman Green and other little pieces in free agency. Their most pressing need is CB or LT. They need a CB, Leon Hall would have to be in the mix. If you add Matt Schaub, you'd have to consider Levi Brown. That hasn't changed what they'll be doing.

    Mel Kiper: (1:38 PM ET ) This trade spotlights that they've given up on David Carr. The Carr era comes to an end. But they never gave him a chance. They never tried to really stress and place importance on putting talent around him. This is the end of the Carr era, but it wasn't really all his fault. The organization has to take some blame for that. Let's hope they help Matt Schaub out a lot more than they helped out Carr.

    If the Packers do trade Rodgers I wonder if TT would bring Carr in as a backup. Lady Rats would love that.

    Nothing official yet, but it looks pretty "imminent" to being done by what I've read.
    Granted, it was "imminent" that the Packers were to get Moss too.

      Wonder if Carr'd be willing to sit behind Favre for a couple years while he clears out the cobwebs from getting clobbered for 4 years in Houston.

        lol they traded him for a second rounder! I love it that is a steal however sucks for Shaub though because he is going to get destroyed down there.

        Bring in the Carr baby! I would love to have him backing up the great one

          Well, no Packer related questions were answer by Kiper. Not that there were be anything new to report.

          I wouldn’t want Carr. He’s been in the league for 4 years and if he had to sit another year or two he’s not worth it. Draft Stanton or Trent Edwards in the 3rd rd if they are still sitting there.

            Schaub has not moved yet.

            I'd also be surprised if he went for 'only' a 2nd rounder. I'd expect that minimum it would be is a 2nd this year, and a 1st or second next year.

            I *shudder* agree with Kipper on this one. No one knows if Carr can be a franchise QB. All we know for sure is that he is tough as nails after getting off the turf, dusting himself off, and taking the next snap in Houston. I can't see Schaub faring much differently if he goes down and steps into the same situation.

                I didn't think the Falcon's wanted to get rid of him. They must have some kind of faith that Vick will actually resemble an NFL QB this year. I don't want David Carr. He is another Tedford QB and his career rating is lower then Trent Dilfer's. Although I will admit that Carr probably has the best ability of any of the Tedford QB's, he wouldn't know what to do with time in the pocket. Plus, the guy has been beaten senseless in Houston. Isn't he the most sacked QB over the last 4 years? If not he has to be a close #2.

                  just copied this off KFFL. Looks like they are getting more than a 2nd rounder.

                  Texans | Team on verge of acquiring Schaub
                  Wed, 21 Mar 2007 10:38:20 -0700

                  Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports the Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans are on the verge of a trade that would send QB Matt Schaub to the Texans in exchange for a swapping of first-round draft picks in this year's NFL Draft, a second-round draft pick in this year's draft and a second-round pick in 2008. Schaub is trying to work out a long-term deal with the Texans. While the deal is not yet finalized, it is expected to be completed Wednesday, March 21.

                    I would laugh if Schaub turns out to be like Favre...

                    Can ATL trade away two hall of famers???

                    The only thing is the texans need to upgrade that O-line in the draft so he doesn't get rolled every passing down...

                      I said the same thing a few months back when ATL owner said Vick is the man. I would have liked to get rid of A-Rod for Moss and bring in Schaub. I know, I know - not a popular opinion.

                        Trade

                        Good trade for both teams. Houston is getting a "star" in the making and the Falcons load up on picks.

                            moving 2 spots, and giving up 2, 2nd round picks and getting Matt Schuab....sorry, i'm on the other end of this, I think the Texans got screwed. They moved back 2 spots and gave up 2 starters, for a QB who hasn't REALLY proven anythign yet. Yes he could have a huge career. But wow. I donno, I"m on the fence on this one.

                              doesn't matter, if the texans don't fix their o-line fast they would have just wasted all those picks

                              carr was just fine, they just couldn't protect him worth a squat
