First three picks are in ...
The first three picks of the draft are official:
Great move by the Texans to sign Mario Williams, the defensive end from N.C. State. Houston is switching to the 4-3 defense, and Williams is an NFL ready player and will be a fixture for years with the Texans.
At No. 2, the Saints might have been smarter to take offensive tackFirle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, from Virginia. The Saints already have Deuce McAllister as their featured running back. New Orleans needs to protect gimpy QB Drew Brees.
With the third pick, the Titans also would have been better off reuniting quarterback Matt Leinart with his college offensive coordinator at USC, Norm Chow. This pick means Steve McNair's days in Nashville are over. He's headed to Baltimore now.

Post a Comment*I was stunned the Titans didn't give Chow back his project, Leinart. This leads me to speculate that Chow himself may have told them something he didn't like about Leinart. I mean, he'd know, right?
Plus, in terms of potential upside, Vince Young is off the charts. And Chow is the ideal guy to develop somebody like that.
Really? You think passing on Reggie Bush was a great move?
I've never seen a better college football player than Reggie Bush. Never.
