Fred T. Jane Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 If the texans arn't drafting Bush they should trade down and pick d'brickashaw furgeson cause if Carr keeps on getting sacked there offence will be as bad as last year.Can't agree more. The ONLY player I could see Houston taking instead of Bush ? and having any success ? is Ferguson to shore up the O-line.But still, they would be absolutely nuts to not take Bush. Reggie Bush >>>>> Dominick Davis. And even if they're comfortable with Davis at RB, Bush is very versatile and could easily play WR, and would certainly be a boost to anyone's kick return game. I just can't fathom why Houston is considering picking Mario Williams, who wasn't even mentioned in the top four or had any national exposure before a week ago and apparently had a couple of good workouts, over Bush, who has been proving his worth over the past few seasons. If they do pick Williams, there's one more statement that has been made that I couldn't agree more with ...The Texans deserve every loss they have for the next five years (and oh lordy, there are going to be a lot of them.)

DEAD! Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Texans passing on Bush?.... That's a first.... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangdmg Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 After months of reading mock drafts, 99% of the mock drafts said Bush will go #1. All for naught. I think Bush is going to the Jets with a trade from the Saints. The Jets have 2 1st rd picks. Saints can drop down to 4 and still pick a player they wanted all along and gain another 1st rd pick. That's where I'd bet my money on. I feel sick. I don't like the prospect of seeing Bush twice a year playing my beloved Patriots.

NJTank Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 This is flat out moronic, unless Mario Williams is a defensive star for years it will be on polls were draft choice ever because Reggie Bush will be an offensive star for years. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 NO won't take Bush. They've already got Deuce McAllister. Reggie Bush, IMO, will be a New York Jet next year.But yeah, this totally screws up EVERYTHING the night before the draft. The War Room's gonna be open late late late late late late late tonight.And on another note, in some thread on here, I said that if the Texans passed on Bush, they deserve to go 1-14 for the next 20 years. Well Houston, IMO, prepare to read a big ol "L" beside your name in the standings for the next few years. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Texans passing on Bush?.... That's a first.... Heh......Quick: Name a Texans DL starter from 2005. I failed, too.Perhaps the Texans are wising up to take a great player they need rather than the sexiest pick. I don't remember Houston having a very good defense last year. Reggie Bush, for as talented as he is, hasn't run the ball 20-25-30 times a game in a long time. Texas is such a football-crazy and football-smart state that they don't need a glamour player to sell tickets. Also, DL players last longer than RB's. If Mario is as good a player as advertised, he'll be playing in Houston for the next 10 seasons easily. RB's usually don't last 10 seasons, especially 10 relatively-healthy seasons consecutively. Plus, Reggie Bush wouldn't be the primary kickoff/punt return man for the Texans. You don't put #1 draft picks out there to return kicks. That'd just be dumb.I don't think Bush's family living in some house will have any impact on his stock as a draft pick. The Texans just might be smart enough to realize that they have needs to fill.

NJTank Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 No you draft Bush and Trade Deuce or trade the pick then Bush is going 2nd.

DEAD! Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I understand the move. The Texans defensive line was just as bad as their offensive line. Considering their record last season, it would be hard to tell which was worse. Picking players fall under either or both of the two theories: Best talent available or pick by need. Could the Texans have traded one of the other RB's, had they taken Bush for a proven, quality DE somewhere else? We'll never know... I saw, I came, I left.

Tentomushi5150 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Picking by necessity doesn't always yield the best rewards, but in this case, I think it's the best thing to do. RB was one of the few things the Texans had some substance in, and to bring in a guy like Reggie Bush who simply wasn't going to be "the guy" would be foolish. They had holes to fill and they filled one of them, nobody can fault them for that. Let the draft play out, and more importantly, wait a bit before casting the Texans off to the land of useless seasons for passing on the hot pick de jour.

Mario Williams will have one very important detail stacked against him.Everyone will be watching him. Unless he's the next Lawrence Taylor in his rookie season, he'll face nothing but a career of scrutiny and comparisons to Reggie Bush. I hope for the Texans' sake he can take the heat. Because this last minute surprise is going to force him to grow one helluva thick hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Good. Bush is gonna be a huge dissapointment. He's gonna be ok. He's gonna be a late second/ early third type talent.He will have a 'Warrick Dunn in Tampa Bay' career. OK, some highlights, right at or less than 1,000 yards a year.The Texans made the right pick. Defense was the right selection. Bush would put butts in seats in 2006. Williams will put a trophy in McNairs case in the next 10 years.The right pick was made.Bush is overrated.

Only time will tell if the right move was made....i have heard that the pats will pic Deangelo Williams(RB, Memphis) in a few mock drafts, any thoughts???...i think the titans get bush at 3 and Fergurson at 2 to the Saints......my suprise pic(beciedes williams at 1) is Jay Cutler to Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
