Are the Texans stupid for giving up The heisman winner reggie bush for mario williams?

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.

Reggie Bush will make an impact even if it is just on kick returns and such he is just a player that cant not make an impact. then if either Leinart or Young play you have to expect one of them to be successful. Mario Williams was a waste of a first pick.

Houston has a good young QB in Carr, a good your receiver in Johnson, and a good young RB in Davis. Logically, I would say trade down and build up the bigger needs at OL and defense in order to build a more complete team. However, Reggie Bush may be a once in a generation type of player and whatever team passes on him may be looked on historically as we do the Portland Trailblazers for passing on Michael Jordan.

Uh..........................................................I think they may take that running back from USC, what's his name????????????????????????????????????????????????????REGGIE BUSH. I mean, yes they have more problems than a little, and taking him will not address a BIG problem that they have (even though D.Davis is not healthy all the time). I mean, they need OL help (D'Brickshaw Ferguson would be a nice pick), a nice backup QB(VINCE YOUNG ANYONE???), D-LINE help(Mario Williams, AKA Little Julius Peppers), and they could get all that if they trade the no.1 pick. BUT, IF YOU KNEW U COULD PICK UP THE NEXT GALE SAYERS WITH THE NO.1 PICK, U WOULD IN A HEARTBEAT!!!

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/

I would not kick him out this late in the season, Ronnie Brown is hurt, Reggie Bush is not as good of a fantasy player as some expected and Ben Watson is a TE, which normally score less points than other fantasy players, which mean they have lesser value to an outcome as a WR for example.

I do, actually thats why I posted earlier on who would be the best pick in this draft.  Of course I picked a blue chip.  But no1 knows this guy at ALL.  People listen to the media more than anything. And Im reading these answers and they really aren't backing their stuff up!  Williams never had the spotlight in his 4 years at Memphis (Hello its Memphis, not USC with Leinart and NFL Talents especially on the OFFENSIVE LINE).  He can run the ball 50 times a game, run for 2000 yards, durable, power yet with shifty moves.  I compare him to an Edgerrin James, Shaun Alexander kind of back.  Memphis passing offense stunk yet Williams helped them pull through a couple of games against some good teams.  Of Course Bush will get the spotlight, and he deserves it too but as for the NFL i think durability is a much bigger factor than returning kickoffs and punt returns for tds (which is a lot more rare in the NFL).  Bush also split carries with LenDale White.  Not saying hes a bad runner, but I compare bush to Brian Westbrook of the eagles.  And westbrook is not an in between runner.  Ok I could go on. LOL but I think its a definate possibility that Williams could be better.  But If you really want the best player in the draft i'd put my hopes in Vince Young.

Yes they will.  Bush could have been used in many different ways.  Not just a RB but on special teams and even in the slot.  He's too dynamic a player to pass up on.  I understand they THINK they have a good RB in DomDavis but he's always getting hurt and you never pass up the best player on the board, ever.  They should at least have traded down because no way in hell the Saints would have picked up Williams.

first off id like to state the texans are out of there mind they could have traded down and chose that player and got an extra draft pick.  Second i dont know why they would of chose reggie bush because even though he is good it is my understanding that they have a pretty good back and third but not least they do not need a quarterback because carr is a good player when your sacked continously its hard for any quarterback to do well.  There focus should be on offensive line and they should have traded there pick down for extra picks thats where they lost there mind

reggie bush wont do nothing in the NFL! in college he only played agaisnt competition that had a good defense and when they played texas in the rose bowl texas had a strong defense and they shut down bush, he had less than 100 rush yards and that isnt against a professional football team that has basically the best football players that are playing the game, all are fast and all are skilled at there position and arent learngin the game they are the best and have made it that far in there career not that many people really make it to the NFL and hey wont be that good! i wont be able to bounce to the outside all the time, the linebackers and defensive players are all getting bigger and faster and bush wont be able to out run all the players any more, bush is overrated just like matt leinart is, young will be the only good quarterback to come from the draft and deangelo williams will have  a better year than bush! bush will only have an ok career

Well it depends on where each teams weakpoint is at. You see if you are the Texans you got a good QB in carr but no good running backs, so they would draft bush, but if you are the 49ers then I would  go with Leinert because Alex Smith,(10 int 0TD), enough said.

I think they made a good move.  How does someone pass up someone of his caliber?\n\nThey will fit him in.  The idea is to run both McAllister and Bush, kind of like that whole "thunder and lightning" cliche you hear all the time.  Plus McAllister is coming off ACL surgery, and most of the time those players are never the same.\n\nIt would be good for them because then both will probably be taking less punishment (Bush because he is smaller, McAllister because of his knee) and thus last longer into the season.\n\nOf course, there were probably a million different scenarios that could have played out.  In the end, we don't know what other teams offered the Saints for their spot.  If some team offered like 5 first round picks then they made a bad move.  But given the knowledge we do know I think they made the right choice.

No, hes just a waste of Money...PERIOD!  He is not a smart QB, and the NFL offenses are too complex for his little pea brain!

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.

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.

No there is no way of telling for sure. The Texans need help in other areas. I though they would have trade down and try to pick an o-line men. to pick a back up with the first pick would be stupid for a team that never one more then seven or eight games. comparing Williams and Bush success in the NFL would be hard...it's not as plain as day as Manning or Leaf comparison. I really think the Saints made the mistake...unless Deuce is going to get the Ricky Williams treatment.
