I think we'll have one hell of a good draft this time, just you watch, I see it, even when my eyes are closed.

would this mean we basically inherited the #1 pick, as far as trade value is concerned?

i would take thier 4 and 29 and their third to let them move up. that would be nice. 3 picks in the top 34 and a third we didnt have. lovely

I wonder how the Texan fans feel tonight, might feel better than one might think, they got Williams and still have D. Davis who's a good back, but they can't feel as good as we feel about now..

That's how i see it...

Yup. Exactly right.

I'd go so far as to say that BnB. I remember rooting for the 49ers (only time everI will say that) to beat the Texans...I was resigned to Leinart after that. Then we got Brees and I became excited about the fact that our #2 had value to us and others...LB, OT or more picks.

Now we sit in the driver's seat and can deal as we want.

And I understand that Bush has value and may be a great back, but we have a guy that is already a great back. and cost us 50 mil. His value to us is not as a player, but as trade bait. anyone who says different is still in shock at the fact that the Texan just screwed the pooch.

If the Jets come calling offering us the 1st's then we should jump.

Not exactly. Teams are still using the point system with respect to the #2 slot, as opposed to the #1 slot. So we have slightly lower value for our slot than the #1 spot. There are still a very limited number of teams that have the firepower to move up, unless future draft picks are on the table, which i haven't heard anything about yet.

lets just say noone calls us, i think we take bush and look for someone to trade for him. if they aren't willing to tarde for him thinking we won't take him then we should take him
