Bush? Young? Take 'em both!

The Texans were a popular choice to make a playoff run this year. Oops! So, it's possible that they're close. However, they shouldn't fall for the fool's gold of contending for a playoff spot, they should position themselves for greatness down the road. Additionally, they should capitalize on the popularity of hometown (and state) hero Vince Young. He'll buy them the good favor with fans to endure a few more losing seasons.

So, obviously, I'm hinting at taking Vince Young. How do you get Reggie Bush too? Simple. Ok, maybe not so simple, but here goes:

• David Carr (former #1 overall) goes to Indianapolis to replace QB Peyton Manning. It just doesn't seem like it's working in Indy, despite the numbers the team is putting up. David Carr for Peyton Manning straight up? Nope, Indy also gets a sandwich pick between the 1st and 2nd rounds that the NFL rewards NO with for having to endure the whole Hurricane Katrina fiasco. If the NFL isn't so forthcoming, the Saints send their 2nd round selection (which is early 2nd round—a pretty valuable pick the Colts can use to draft a RB to replace Edgerrin James) to the Colts. They also may receive a later round (maybe 3rd or 4th) selection from the Houston Texans.


• Manning goes to New Orleans to rebuild the Saints in his hometown. They'd have the skill players, with Joe Horn and Dante Stallworth at WR and Deuce McAllister at RB. Manning provides a face for the organization and can try to do what his father never could for the team.


• Aaron Brooks (who the Saints are going to can anyway) goes to Houston with the #2 overall pick. Brooks will start for Houston next year, at least early in the year. Vince Young will watch, ala Carson Palmer. Reggie Bush will be selected with the #2 overall pick and can be used as a returner, RB (splitting time with Dominick Davis), and receiver. The Saints will also send an offensive lineman (I hear they have a surplus) to supplement that horrible Houston line.
