I think its clear as day right now that the Texans Management was smarter than a lot of people gave them credit for. Mario Williams has 9.5 sacks right now and is causing havoc looking like a franchise DE.
While Reggie Bush and Vince Young are both struggling right now and there are a lot of questions bout their future and don't look like franchise picks.

Matt Lineart a Star in the League...that's a joke right.
Reggie Bush will only be a star in the media and jersey sales not on the field.
VY the Jury is still out on him.

they made a mistake, because QB is always the first choice.
the team falls and rises with the play of the QB. the QB is the focal point. the QB is the franchise. and when the QB comes from houston, he sells tickets.
Well they traded for a QB in Matt Schaub(SP?) the year after. You don't draft a QB just to sell tickets, you draft a QB to win games. I don't think Vince Young or Matt Lineart will be better than Matt Schaub. They both played close to being benched this year, well Lineart was benched temporarily.

Yeah, I am going to have to disagree with your here. I believe that building a good football team starts up front in the trenches; basically building your team from the inside out. Having a great O-line makes everyone's life easier, just put Brady behind Miami's line and watch what happens.

As mentioned, build from the trenches. Solid veteran QBs can be found on the free agent market but a good pass-rushing DE is (nearly) priceless.

Nah,
First they should have lured Pete Carroll, then they should have picked Reggie Bush.
Then they should have traded Andre Johnson for Norm Chow. Then proceed to pick LenDale White in the 2nd round.
