now that the texans have granteed to not pick bush in the first round...who will they pick?

Look for the Texans to have a very dangerous offense. They have a top notch recieving core. A good running back in Dominick Davis. With Bush in the lineup he could create all kinds of mismatches both in the backfield and in the slot. Now Bush won't have the benefit of a dominating offensive line like he had in USC. So it may be interesting to watch how that works out.

My Jets got the 4th pick; we're right behind you. It is possible that the Texans could draft Ferguson, the best lineman in the country. But I've never heard of an offensive lineman taken 1st overall. I wonder who the Jets will take...better not be a lousy pick.

Let's put it this way....if the Texans had selected Bush and he ended up stinking up the joint (doubtful) or having a career ending injury (never know), no one ever would have criticized them for making the wrong pick, even if Mario Williams turned out to be a stud.  I can almost guarantee that there will be other defensive ends in the draft that will do really well.  But if Mario Williams ends up being only slightly above average while Bush becomes a star, the Texans will never hear the end of it.  It will be much like the teams who passed on Michael Jordan.  There is going to be A LOT of pressure on Mario Williams.\n\nWith all that said, I agree that the Texans need defensive help probably more than offensive.  I respect the decision. But the Saints didn't need Reggie Bush either.

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.\n\nRandell El has a good future ahead of him.

Jones-Drew and Thomas.  maybe McAllister instead of one of them.

The Houston Texans said last week that they wanted to make sure whoever they drafted would be in camp on time. They did not believe that Reggie Bush's agent would accept their contract offer. Since they had Mario Williams rated almost equal and his agent was easier to deal with they knew they could get a deal done right away. Also the Texans have several good running backs and an awful pass rush. Now they have filled one of the key spots with the highest rated defensive lineman to come around in many years.

I think they need a guy who could develop into a great #1 receiver, so I am going to go with Santonio Holmes out of these choices.  Eric Parker?  Come on.  Keenan McCardell is just getting too old.  And you can't throw to Antonio Gates on every down.  Thankfully they have LT, who can run and catch.  But Holmes would be my choice.

Bush!\n\nMcAllister and Bush are both struggling -- or at least underachieving. Bush is averaging only 28 rushing yards per game, and McAllister has averaged only 42 yards in his last four. But they should be much more productive in this one. Cincinnati ranks 23rd in run defense (127 yards per game) and has allowed almost as many touchdowns rushing (12) as passing (13). So despite the recent trends, look for Bush and McAllister to play well in this game.\n\nLaurence Maroney looked like a gamebreaker earlier in the season. Now, either defenses have adjusted to him, New England isn't playing as well, or perhaps he's hit the wall. Since his big game at Cincinnati, where he ran for 125 yards and averaged 8.3 yards per carry, Maroney has averaged only 40 yards per game and 3.4 yards per carry. Things can always change in a hurry, but right now it doesn't look like Maroney is going to make a big impact down the stretch. He'll probably continue to split time with Corey Dillon.

If the Texans dont draft Reggie Bush that would be crazy. He address several positions that they were miserable at last year. He can be a RB, WR, PR, KR. Their special teams were miserable so having him as a returner would great for them. He was an unbelievable RB at USC, without a doubt the greatest college football player I have ever seen in my lifetime which spans almost 21 years. He did everything he could to make a big play, and most of the time he succeeded. He would go just as high as a WR in this draft according to Mel Kiper Jr. I watched him all season long seeing as USC was normally the only team on in Ohio after 10:00pm. Reggie Bush is a phenominal athlete, a great kid, and without a doubt not only what the Texans need to give a true offensive threat at all positions...but he is what every team needs. No matter what team he played for he would be a great player. I mean, the plays he made, I have never seen anythig like. I remember watching that USC-Fresno St. game and seeing him stop on a dime on the sideline and cut it back across the field and saying to myself..."Holy ****, that might be the play of the year." He e is without a doubt, the best college player I have ever seen which means he is the only player worthy of being drafted #1 to the Houston texans\n\n\nNow granted, the Texans offensive line i aweful, but D'Brickashaw Ferguson is not someone you could take with a #1 overall pick, besides the fact most good O-lineman are guys drafted in later round sof the draft. Mario Williams is a great talent at the DE position, but the Texans can draft a guy later in the draft to play D-line. A first pick DE scares me because the last DL to go #1 overall in the draft...Courtney Brown drafted to the Cleveland Browns in the 2001 NFL Draft and he was a miserable player with Cleveland.

I have to go with the guy deffinitely coming out. I do have to add that you have nothing to live for if you are worring about the draft in week 10.

For a few reasons:\n\n1.  Bush is over rated, and is not an every down back.  They already have an outside runner in  Dominick Davis.  An inside runner is what they lacked\n\n2.  Mario Williams will fill a bigger need for them\n\n3.  Bush would have been and will be nearly impossible to sign with the Texans current cap restictions\n\n4.  Mario was willing to sign for less money\n\n5.  The Texans are smarter than to fall for media hype instead of making a sound football decision

Happened about 5 hours ago, but yea, its a bad decision on Taxans behalf. If they werent gonna take Reggie, they shoulda got Vince, even though they still wont be winning, he would put butts in the seats. But good news is, with that dumb pick, the Texans will prob have the first pick next year so  they can get the Beast Adrian Peterson(Hopefully) or another good RB.

The Texans wont trade down that far period. \n\nThey should think O-line reason being every year they make it to the big but there o-line dosent help manning out when needed and a running back isnt a smart idea unless they move up to draft DeAngelo Williams, RB, Memphis he will be a younger versoin of edge.\n\nIf they can get ethier Williams or Lendale white they will be fine.\n\nBut there main focus should be O-line and plus why not give Rhodes a chance anyone behinde that line can get at least 1200 yards in a season. well hope this anwser helped ya\n\nIf they

YES, YES, and YES!!!! Finally we won't see USC in the Rose Bowl or some other bowl because Leinart, Bush, White, Byrd, and Justice r gone. We will have new stars, no Reggie Bush, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Michael Huff, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, or Mario Williams. My favorite now has to be Ohio State or Notre Dame.

Who is gonna pick my tomater?!

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
