What should The Texans do with the first pick in the NFL Draft?

D'Brickashaw Ferguson. They have a good QB in David Carr, but he has no Offensive line to protect him. They have a pretty good RB with Domanick Davis and Eric Moulds and Andre Johnson will be the second best receivng tandem in the NFL next to Keyshawn Johnson and Steve Smith.

this draft was full of great picks, bad picks, and surprise picks and players getting drafted high and players falling. \nNow i feel we are all in agreement when i say the Texans don't want to win football games, because they passed on Reggie bush. how can you say no to that. so damn stupid, and the whitner pick for bills was high, but if the bills took bunkley or ngata those two players where not good enough to go 8 eighter, and the lions said if the bills didn't take him they would of taken whitner so the bills did good there, and about mccargo Marv Levy saw someone he liked and got him, yes they could of waited, but who knows what could of happened and both of those players will start next year so those are both good picks. \n\ni say the surprise picks of the draft was tambi Hali for the chiefs and the Mathias kiwanuka for the giants, Hali isn't that bad seeing Jared Allen is the best dlinemen for the chiefs, and you can never have enough depth, but the giants had so many other holes, OT,OG,WR,DL,LB,DB de is the last thing they needed with osi, and stranhan i know mike is getting old, but they just needed so much more then Mathias kiwanuka they had justice,ryans,Howard,Jackson,countless numbers of DB i just think they messed up bad there.

Reggie Bush easily. And, if the Texans were smart, they'd draft Vince Young, and trade David Carr for Lindell White. Then, thrade a second round draft pick and two other people for D'Brickashaw Ferguson. As a blocker, they can pick up Micheal Pittman.

Saints need a solid QB and the texans have way to much $$$$ tied up in carr drafting him first overall a few yrs ago.......

Actually, Mike Mayock (of the NFL Network) correctly predicted the Bills drafting of Whitner as their first, 1st-round pick.\n\nI'm going to say they will persue Sam Baker, an OT from the University of Southern California.  Their main issue right now, outside of maybe QB, is the lack of speed against the pass-rush and the combination of strength/speed that Baker provides is great.

I think the Texans will have their best season yet. With the acquisitions of Flannagan (C) and Moulds (WR) and after the draft Heisman winner Reggie Bush the Texans look good on paper. David Carr is the only question mark but with a seasoned OL and how it stands right now with a solid back in Dominck Davis and perhaps Reggie Bush alot of pressure will be taken off of him. And look at the division they are in its pretty weak with the exception of the Colts, the titans are going to lose McNair and Jacksonville has never been good. With all the accusations and what seems to be a pretty good draft coming their way look for Houston to go 8-8 or 9-7.

The 28th pick in the NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars: Marcedes Lewis, TE UCLA.\nHe completes the passing attack and final piece to the entire offensive unit. He is the one that will help Matt Jones and Reggie Williams get more looks. We have the tallest wide receivers of any team in the entire league not to mention they have a load of potential. Matt Jones 6'6" 242lbs 4.37 40 time "the freak", reggie williams 6'4, lewis 6'6 leftwich, a healthy fred taylor, an improved o-line, and weve already got one of the best elite defensive units. Lewis allows us to be the most deadly offense in the entire league and a chance to win the superbowl. the jags will not do worse than a first round exit in the playoffs like last year, but are already primed for a better season because of the improvements theyve made and the loss of edge by the colts. The jags are your afc south division champs. seeing the jags win the superbowl will have a big impact on the league, a team that was a candidate to be relocated and such and such, also showing that good draft picks have a big impact, it will cause pandemonium.

Well, it should be interesting, to say the least, when the Texans take (presumably) Reggie Bush with the #1 pick, passing on Young. Because, by taking Bush, they imply "we have the utmost confidence in David Carr to lead us" and I wonder how. When has Carr shown he can effectively lead that offense and how will the addition of one star (Bush) change it?

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!!!

The Redskins do not have a first round pick this draft. They would be 22nd but they traded their first round pick last year to Broncos in order to get Jason Campbell. By the way, I love the Redskins.

If I were Houston I would pick Mario Williams, based on what I have learned and I know. Read this column that support my view :\nhttp://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft06/columns/story?columnist=smith_michael&id=2419503

1. Mario Williams, DE \n2. Reggie Bush, RB\n3. Matt Leinart, QB\n4. D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT\n5. Vernon Davis, TE\n6. AJ Hawk, OLB\n7. Vince Young, QB\n8. Winston Justice, OT\n9. Michael Huff, CB/S\n10. Jay Cutler, QB\n\nLet me defend myself, "for the first time, there is legitimate reason to think that Reggie Bush is not going to be wind up in Houston. As of Monday, the Texans had not had any contract discussions with Bush and his representatives. Yet the Texans have approached defensive end Mario Williams, trying to see if he would be receptive to discussing a deal. But the evidence goes beyond contracts. When Bush was in Houston, a certain segment of the organization never introduced itself to the running back."

If they pick I think the most value would be in Lendell White.  They might want to consider trading the pick though to get a QB, maybe Philip Rivers.

Never, it is a proven fact that running backs are a dime a dozen.  You can always find a decent one down the line in the draft.  You should always take a premier defensive player with the first pick, unless there is a franchise qb available.  i.e. elway, P.Manning.  I wouldn't use the first pick on either Vince young or Leinart.

Well teams draft based on "need" because that is what they need.  Do you think that the Colts would draft a QB because he is the best player on the board when it's their turn to pick?  No, they pick based on team needs, not fan favorite.  I do understand that passing on Bush is a gamble on the Texans part, but they didn't need a RB.  The Texans have lots of other positions on the team they need to fill, and I don't think Reggie would have filled their "needs" as well as Williams will.  Houston is hurting for good defensive players, and Offensive line, Reggie doesn't play in any of those positions.

A bargain.  Baltimore gets a guy who can win immediately.  Any proven player over a pick after the second round is a bargain.  Tennessee has ruined the future of the team because Billy Volek is a free agent and he will work hard this year to boost his value but be gone since he won't backup Young.  If Volek continues to perform as he has, when can you put in Young?  So Fisher is in a horrible position and this will be his final year with the team as they will have a mediocre year in a tough division, Volek will pass a ton and trick someone out of millions in free agency and you will end up with an undertrained, rushed Young who won't have much time to "go live" during the year as the team looks to remain competitive enough not to just throw in the rookies.   So you'll have Young starting in 2007 while woefully unprepared.  This move makes no sense to me.

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.
