Re: Texans Reportedly Close to Deal fo Schaub
 

Would be a GREAT choice for them. I wonder if they'll try to trade down and grab CJ.

Falcons trade Matt Schuab to Texans for 2nd round pick just reported on NFL Network

Re: Texans Reportedly Close to Deal fo Schaub
 

Nice. The Falcons may dread the day they let this kid go.

On another note: If CJ is there at 6, I guarantee the Skins take him and keep him.

Thanks. So much for my hope of getting the Texans' 2nd round pick

Re: Texans Reportedly Close to Deal fo Schaub
 

Atlanta has the ammo to trade up now. Their number ten pick and two high seconds could get them Calvin Johnson at #4 maybe. Or they could give us one of those second rounders and move to #6. That would be fine with me.

I'm sure either team would love CJ, but I would think the Texans might feel like they have more pressing needs than another big, physical receiver since they already have Andre Johnson.
As for the Falcons, wouldn't they just love to finally give Vick someone really capable to throw the ball to? Plus, the fact that he went to GTech has got to be a huge bonus for them. I guess they could get him with the #2 pick if they traded it to the Lions for the #10 and a second rounder.

I'm becoming more and more skeptical about Vick taking the Falcons to the big dance. People always say he's a stud receiver away from turning the Falcons into a serious contender. But he's always had a top rushing game behind him and usually one of the better defenses in the league. So what gives?

As far as the draft value chart goes Atlanta's #10 pick along with both 2nd rounders isn't even enough to move up to the #2 spot. If you trade up that far you have to pay a hefty price. I would go after CJ if I were Atlanta. That would be so sick. Even though I think Vick is a bum.

Re: Texans Reportedly Close to Deal fo Schaub
 

i think that schaub is valued too high, he hasnt proven much in the nfl and i think theres a good chance he could be a big dissapointment

Re: Texans Reportedly Close to Deal fo Schaub
 

I still don't quite understand the fascination with Matt Schaub. The guy has started two games in his career. Granted, he's shown some flashes, but his career TD to INT ratio is 1:1 and his lifetime passer rating is 69.2. Can anyone say AJ Feeley?

Re: Texans Reportedly Close to Deal fo Schaub
 

I think the fascination is simply because he's been backing up a QB preordained to be the NFL's savior who hasn't lived up to it. And with Vick struggling, who is more popular than his backup? I don't know why, but I think Jake Delhomme when I think of Schaub

AJ Feeley. Hey, that wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

nothing personal, but there is no way the skins want anything to do with Johnson, other then trading him. the simple fact is we have much greater needs then a wide out. regardless of how good anyone thinks he will be. i don't know why anyone would want him, as dreadful as our defense was last season. and i am one who isnt sold on shaub. a second for him is a coup for the falcons

No doubt we have greater needs, I agee with you there. But Calvin Johnson is, I hate to say can't miss, close as it gets.

We can find a DT either in the draft or FA or coach up what we have. A Calvin Johnson won't be next years draft or the year after.
