Skins And Texans Talking Trade According To Fatty P

[redman]

We are talking the Texans that drafted a DE with their pick last year?

I happen to believe that the pick of Williams over Bush, assuming both are as advertised, wasn't a bad choice given the fact that it's far easier to build a team around a franchise caliber DE than it is a franchise caliber RB when you have needs at virtually every other part of the roster.

Regardless, I fail to see what that choice has to do with Brunell, unless you're just in the mood to attempt to put down on the intelligence of other teams in order to manufacture fanciful trade scenarios.

In order for it to happen the Texans have to convince themselves Brunell is an upgrade which they may ba able to do.

For the second consecutive week, there has been a report that the Texans might be trying to move up in the draft to select quarterback Brady Quinn.

Neither report is true.

As the Chronicle reported last week, the Texans are not expected to pass up Quinn if he is available with the eighth pick, but they haven't tried to move up.

The Texans have denied they are interested in moving up. Executives with five of the teams that draft in front of the Texans said last week they haven't been contacted by general manager Rick Smith or coach Gary Kubiak about the Texans trying to move up in the first round.

Publicly and privately, the Texans insist they are trying to add draft choices, not surrender them.

As the draft draws closer, there will be a lot of reports involving a lot of teams, including the Texans, about moving up or down in the draft. A few might even be true.

The Texans have the same quarterbacks — David Carr, Sage Rosenfels and Bradlee Van Pelt — as they had at the end of the season.

They made an effort to sign Jeff Garcia and Patrick Ramsey. Why? Garcia would have been the starter with Rosenfels as the backup and, more than likely, a rookie selected in the second or third round.

Must Be Some Snitches In The Redskins Front Office, Because Who Knowes What Gibbs Is D0ing? Mr. Gibb's If You Read This Don't Trade Betts The Best Back Up Running Back In The League. He May Be Better Than Portis. The Last 4 Games Was Impressive. Don't Trade Betts!!!!!.

[#98QBKiller]

we trade our 6th pick for 8th pick in the draft and demeco ryans. sign the papers vinny haha

Or Mario Williams...he isn't that big of a bust.

[RedzoneHunter]

We won't be compensated enough for moving back only two picks. That might get us a 3rd round pick. I'll pass.

The only problem I have with articles with people who think they are in the know is that the people who think they are in the know only know what the people truly in the know let the other people who think they are in the know know.

Gibbs is a master at media manipulation in this aspect - that's what makes the Skins fun to watch is to see what he does to surprise people.

Heck - he may very well have a player targeted, hint that it is Okoye, trade down twice and get the player he is really targeting and 4 or 5 more draft picks or trade all of our picks away shortly and get a couple of players he covets.

:munchout: just sit back and watch and see

Purely mirrors and smokescreens. If Quinn falls to us, I foresee a trade of draft picks with Houston.

Why Do You Type Like This???? It really makes it very hard to read.

Now, on the subject of Betts. I dont think anyone is trying to trade him. However, the guy has serious fumbling issues, especially in critical situations(which cost the Skins 2 games last season). If we did let him go, which won't happen, Rock Cartwright would be a great spell back. :2cents:

[redman]

Or Mario Williams...he isn't that big of a bust.

The same thought occurred to me.

As for him not being a "bust", don't let the Reggie Bush debate cloud your impression of him. He did everything you'd expect him to do and Texans watchers will tell you that he got double teamed all year because he has no talent around him besides D'Meco Ryans and Dunta Robinson. He made the rest of the d-line more effective because of the attention, however.

I don't think they'll do it though. The Texans want to build on last year, and trading away their top pick doesn't seem like a good way to do that.

[redman]

In order for it to happen the Texans have to convince themselves Brunell is an upgrade which they may ba able to do.

There is not a single team in the NFL who Brunell could start for (meaning, as the chosen #1 QB on the depth chart) after having seen his physical decline over the last three seasons. He knows it too, which is why he was so docile about staying with us and taking a salary cut to help us out regarding the cap rather than fighting to be released to go to another team.

[GrimReefa]

The points are irrelevant if the Texans really REALLY want Quinn and we can offer him to them.

If that's the case, we can demand a King's Ransom for his rights, and probably get it.

And if the Vikes are interested as well, we could have a bidding war on our hands, and that silly chart would go way out the window.

[FrFan]

Texans won't trade up to take QB Quinn

[SprintBomb]

Will he actually be there at #6?? I doubt it.

[Cdowwe]

He just had to get a quick jab at Gibbs about the draft. But Id like this better than trading with GB.

[tone_dubbz]

i don't believe anything this fat fock has to say

[Thirtyfive2seven]

Texans won't trade up to take QB Quinn

Thanks for providing a link but I don't believe anything the papers say before the draft. the only team is the history of the draft stupid enough to show it's hand was the Redskins the year they picked up Campbell
