Henson to the Texans

What does the chart say if Brooks is worth the 16th pick in rd 1? Two firsts out to get you pretty high in the draft.

Now, I would be more in favor of moving up to get Eli or Drew if we could secure a QB like Brunell (I saw a topic with him as subject, but haven\'t read it yet). He seems like a good QB to have as a leader and a tutor to a younger QB. However, is he willing to go through that again?

Giving up all these picks and personnel to get Eli concerns me on many fronts. First, how long is Deuce gonna hold up. The average shelf life of an NFL starting RB is like 5 or 6 years. He\'s got two already. If we\'re not shooting for superbowl in 2004 then we\'ve thrown out another year of Deuce.

Second, our dependable WR\'s are aging quickly (and some are getting too mouthy). Unless Stallworth comes around we\'re not gonna have any strength there. And we\'ll lose the \'04 picks to be able to add at WR.

Like WhoDat said, this would be a huge PR move (getting Eli). But to do so would really hamper our positioning for a superbowl in the near future. Are we prepared for that?
