Holy shit I just got a few extra gray hairs. Thanks for nothing, Titans. Luckily our clutch kicker came through to save our asses.

Yep

...and thanks to the Raiders for getting the Jets out of the running.

Anyone else think that the Kris Brown "miss" was purposely shanked? Looked like dude was aiming at the sidelines.

Rack him for taking one for the team. AND QUIT TRYING TO WIN YOU IDOTS!

It would be realy funny if the Texans did the smart thing and traded down for a couple of O linemen.

There will be PLENTY of O lineman in this draft. You don't trade away from Reggie Bush. No way, never. Alas, we will likely wipe out S.F. and make it a moot point...

The Lions must be taking a run at Leinart. Great job at pissing that game away last night between the Rogers personal foul in OT, Roy's dropped pass that would've been a sure TD and the missed chances in the first quarter. I still think the refs fucked up the safety call with Gado and the Lions should've won but if this means the Lions can draft Leinart, I won't complain.

You better hope the Jets win a couple more, then...

The Texans already have a great running back. Finding linemen who can pass block or a defensive playmaker should be their top priorities.

And that is why if feel for Texans fan. They suck ass mainly b/c they cannot control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. They have a good RB as is and yet there is Mr Bush sitting there. They know they have bigger needs than a RB, but how do you pass up on a potential superstar. I think they should trade down and nab two O-lineman in the first round. Doesnt matter if they get Bush and still have no one block for him.

And what really sucks is that even that won't turn things around for another couple of years. Even "can't miss" offensive linemen take a couple of years to develop (see: Gallery, Robert). On the defensive side they seem to be able to make a bigger impact immediately, but Texanfan hoping that next season is going to be much better is in for a rude awakening.

You're right about the time it takes to develop a young draft pick. Better would be if they could pull some experienced linemen who do not suck through free agency or by swinging a deal to trade the #1 or #2 pick. There needs to be at least one or two experienced stud linemen to mentor the younger guys.

It is absolutely scary how many yards Dominak Davis would have with a good front 5.

Who exactly has two first round picks to trade?

Yep. Looks like Bueller has left the building.

Bri, Davis is good not great. Reggie is a perfect combo of Barry, Warrick, and Gale. Davis........is not.

Are you trying to say that Bush can't block?

OK, I agree.

1. Don't know

2. Not overly concerned with it

3. Warrick can

My appologies to Warrick Dunn. He's a warrior.

That said, if Reggie Bush can't or won't block, he won't have much of a career. God knows he can run, but there isn't a back in the NFL that can't run.

Davis is a decent, slightly above average back. He will never be a superstar.

Reggie Bush has Hall of Fame level ability. You cannot pass on him. I can guarantee that the Texans will forever be haunted by not drafting him.

I agree that they have more pressing issues than running back, in fact, running back might be where they have the least amount of concern. That said, you just can't pass on a talent like Bush. He might be that once in a generation kind of player.
