brooks i don't think the guy is damaged goods by any means. i think the texans will regret this day fora long time. we can afford for him to hold out and it isn't like it is a qb holding out. if we select him i am not mad. if we trade down i am not mad. if we don't trade down and we don't draft him i am upset

I was having a pretty alright day, but this...holy crap I am happy. We should take a deep breath, answer all 12 phones ringing off the hook, and start writing down offers. We need to trade for the best deal we can get, which should be a big one. a hold out is just a number waiting to be reached...lots of teams want that kid....wow...the drama begins

Hmm let's see:

New York City? Check
Marquee name of the draft? Check

Jets, we are about to fleece that ass, and still get Hawk. In the words of Glen Quagmire "giggity giggity."

LOL...

This is pretty sweet!!

I don't care who we get out of Brick, Bush, or Hawk I am getting a Texans jeresey......THANKS Mr. McNair for being the biggest dumb*** in the NFL!!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is YES, YES, YES... :fanclub: :crowd:

Pretty sweet rookie deal for The Immortal Mario Williams.

The Saints are more in the driver's seat with this draft than I had ever dared to hope.

Unbelievable! And the intrigue begins!

great family guy reference whodi. this is a thing of beauty. it is also the worse thing that could happen to me. i just put in for another position at work making some more money. with this happening there is no way i can be blessed twice. bitter sweet

HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans have signed North Carolina State defensive end Mario Williams to a six-year, $54 million deal, making him the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft Saturday.


Of the $54 million, Williams is guaranteed $26.5 million.


Texans general manager Charley Casserly had cautioned earlier in the week that anyone concluding the team had decided on Southern California tailback and Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush and was only using Williams as leverage was mistaken.


The choice of Williams by the Texans could dramatically alter the landscape of the early segment of the first round. The New Orleans Saints, with the second choice, have indicated they would snap up Bush if he fell to their slot. But the Saints had hinted, in general, that they might entertain trade offers for their pick.


The availability of Bush at the No. 2 spot would almost certainly elicit trade offers.
