why do you think the texans did not draft bush?

Yes Reggie Bush is a great player and will be a top running back very soon, but they already got their running back with Davis.  Yes Davis isn't as good as Bush but whats the point of drafting and having two good running backs.  They need help on the Defense and Offense line, that's why they went with Williams, he will help them out alot.  If they would have went with Bush they would have had to pay alot more money for Bush with the number one pick than with Williams at number one, so that could be another reason.  I don't really agree with what they did, but they would have had to try and trade Bush or Davis away, which would have been hard to do

Oakland Fan down there obviously hasnt ever played football. Run Blocking and Pass Blocking are two different things, with Run blocking being much easier because you get to knock people down and run, Reggie will be passed you in less than a second. Pass Blocking-U have  to hold a person from getting pass you. Reggie Bush would have gotten 1200 yards this season easily, and instead they get some guy who i think is pretty overrated(He definetly isnt a J. Peppers), i doubt he will have an 8 sack season until 3 years from now. But reggie doesnt have to worry, He is coming to my NFC SOUTH(im a falcons season ticket holder, so im pretty happy with this) and he'll still get his 1300 yards we dont really run block that welll in the NFC SOUTH so U can bet to see Bush as Offensive Rookie of the Year, but you wont see Mario as Defensive Rookie(because Michael Huff will win it). So all in all, way better deal for whoever gets Bush, dumb move for the Texans.

I don't think it was necessarily a bad move - the BAD move was not trading the pick to any of the 10 teams that wanted Bush.  Trade the pick to New Orleans, get their 2nd pick for this year and their 2nd and 3rd next year and you can still get Williams!  The fact that this escaped the tiny little mind of the GM is reason enough for the people of Houston to be up in arms...he didn't bring home Bush or Young AND he didn't maximize their leverage?  Casserly is an idiot.

No, the Jets are not going to get Reggie Bush, because the Texans are going to have the #1 draft pick, and they are going to take him.  If they did get him, I believe they would be significantly better as he is a very special player.

Everything on that scenario looks right except Houston would be crazy to trade the rights to Bush.  \n\nI see the vikings trading Culpepper to Arizona for their 1st Round pick, where the Vikes will draft an Offensive Lineman, then draft a Qb with the 17th pick.  Denny loves Culpepper, and donuts.

I'd like to think President Bush is a bigger man than that; but after all, he is Little Bush.\n\nI think that Information Minister was funny, also.  Sports teams with losing records should hire him to commentate.\n\n"No, no, Texans very good team, make lots of wins.  Do not listen to ESPN, they know nothing!"

i do when vince young was a kid his favorite team was the houston oilers who are now the titans so he will like that. another reason is that the texans will pick bush the saints don't need a qb the jets might get young or lienert but they definetly need a qb because all they have rite now is chad pennington who gets hurt every game.

The Bills probably should have taken a defensive end like Broderick Bunkly or Kamerion Wmbley.  Even Haloti Ngata at nose tackle would have been a good pick, Whitner is a good player, but I think they should have considered trading down a 4 or five spots and pick him up there.  The only team I think they had to worry about taking Whitner is Dallas, but they had the 18th pick,  So as long as the Bills stayed at 12 or 13 they would still get their man and may even pick up a late second or third round pick in the process.

What happened? When the republicans found out that the democrats would make sure that if they were in office there would be no draft. They could not risk losing votes from fear voters and parents that thier children would not be drafted therefore Bush promised that their would be no draft. IT was a pre election promised that he kept.

The Texans are on the verge of being respectable.  One of their problems is that they play in a tough division.  They have to play Indy twice every season.  And depending on how the other teams are doing they also have to contend with Jacksonville and the Titans.\n\nI don't think David Carr is their answer.  Everyone thinks he just needs a good line and then he will blossom.  Well I have a feeling after this season we will see him leaving Houston.  He has been banged up so much that I think he is constantly thinking about the sack.  This will prevent him from being successful.\n\nReggie Bush will not be the answer either.  Houston already has a respectable RB.\n\nThe current rumor (which is probably false) is that Houston is seriously considering trading down.  They don't want to have to take Bush.  The problem is finding a partner. \n\nThe Saints won't trade up.  In fact they are looking to trade down.  The Titans and Jets are probably comfortable where they are. \n\nThe Packers could use Bush, but they are sitting pretty at number 5.  They will find a quality player to fit their many needs at this spot.\n\nSF or Oakland might be interesting positions.  Both of them could use Bush and that is not too far for Houston to fall and still pick up quality.\n\nWhat's going to happen? No one knows for sure, but I think Houston is hoping to come in 2nd in their division and maybe a chance at a Wildcard spot.

I don't think SF has anyone to offer Houston for a trade. Perhaps the Jets could get the trade. But it doesn't matter, as Bush will likely run for Houston, unless the Texans select Ferguson, the heavy offensive lineman.

I think he can.  I mean it's ridiculous to think that the Texans won't improve there O-line in the rest of the draft and through free agency and trades.  He may not take off right away but in two or three years, I think he'll be someone were all talking about.

I agree, but even though Houston has no OL Reggie Bush would still put together a 1000 rushing yard and 500 recieving yard season. The Texans are using the excuse that because their in a divison with the Colts they need to stop the Colts, not out score them. One player, exspecially, Mario Williams, can't stop a whole team.

They have a lot of needs on the team. I would have traded the pick for more picks later on. It would have been foolish for them to draft Bush then pay him that money as well as Domanick Davis.  That much money at the RB position wouldn't have allowed them to upgrade any need position. Just on Run/Pass ratio of Kubiak's offensive system, Davis will likely get 200 more yds per season on avg. Bush would have killed their cap and they still wou;n't be able to rush the passer.

only time will tell from this pick, but charlie casserly wanted to draft a defense...\n\nmy opinion: how the hell can you not draft the most dynamic player out of college the last 20 years???\n\nthis should mean that the texans will most likely get the 1st pick overall again, next year 2007!!!

I would have taken young too, from what I remember that's one of the reasons he was so excited to go into the draft in the first place was to be picked by the Texans.  don't get me wrong, Williams could be a good player, but I don't think the right fit for the team.  I just hope for the sake of the fans that your coaching staff knows something ever one else doesn't or has some kind of a plan.\n\nalso with picking young that would be a boost for the fan base, hell it would make me excited to see a home town boy make the team as a #1 pick!\n\noh and join the packers fans! we have a blast win, or loose!  were else would you see sold out every game for even a crummy season and life long waiting lists for season tickets! lol I am on it but I will probably have to put my spot in my will to any kids or grand kids I may have lol/

I think they made a mistake.  They should have traded down a couple of spots and picked Matt Leinart to reunite with Titans offensive co-ordinator Norm Chow who coached him at USC.\n\nFor more on the Titans and the NFL, check this out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/
