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.

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

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.

Although there are many rumors of the Houston Texans taking Mario Williams with the first pick, they should take Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush has been the consensus #1 pick since the Rose Bowl at the end of his magnificent USC career. Bush put up a very strong performance on his pro day, running well and wowing in the bench press (24 repetitions of 225 pounds). The Texans had a good visit with him after his workout, and the team is expected to start negotiating a contract in the coming days. Houston coach Gary Kubiak told Bush he envisions using the multi-talented star in the same manner the Trojans did – 30-plus touches split between running back, wide receiver and special teams. Obviously, their man is Reggie Bush.

I heard this analysis and it made sense to me.\n\nTake the names out of it.  Houston needs lots of help, especially defense and on the offensive line.\n\nWould you rather have a guy that can contribute 60-70 plays a game or one that would be able to contribute only 15-20 plays a game.\n\nBush is special, but he can only help when he touches the ball.  He is not a workhorse that can carry the load of 30-35 carries per game, but Williams will be able to run every play on defense, as he is not just a pass rusher, but a great run stopper as well.\n\nAll this was done as a football decision, not just because of a highlight reel.

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!!!

NO. the game goes to fast for him he has been in the league too long to still be making the mistakes he is making. I am a Texans fan so I will cheer for him. This year is probably his last chance. This is the best team he has had yet. I think he will end up like his fellow draft qb Joey Harrington. A b/u for the rest of his career.

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.

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 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.

Matt Leinart.\n\nThey already benched Aaron Brooks towards the end of the year so they're probably looking for a quarterback. Leinart would be the best one out there.\n\nUSC players will go 1-2. Reggie Bush to Houston followed by Leinart to New Orleans.

I am not of the school that thinks Reggie Bush won't still be a star.  I do.  I think his receiving game and his speed can still make him a top notch running back.  You can't make the statement that juking doesn't work in the NFL.  Barry Sanders made a career of it.  But when you compare Bush's hype to Vince Young's I think it is unfair.  The experts expected far more out of Reggie Bush in year 1 than Vince Young.  I don't think anyone expected Young to be starting in his 1st year.  I also can't jump on the "Vince Young is great" bandwagon.  He basically had one good game.  I think he has to share praise with Travis Henry for the improvement in the run game.  But to answer your question, I think Vince Young has exceeded his expectations and Bush has fallen short.  Even though Bush's expectations were astronomical.

Texans drafted mario williams because defense was their biggest need and texans already have a good running back in davis. Kubiak has also had success with 2nd teir running backs\n\nThe problem I have in the Texans choice is in the first round you draft the best player available where this was a different case where Young, Bush and leinart imo are way above the rest.\n\nThe second issue is williams value mainly came from his workout number and not in games. Could be another mike mamula case.

I think they'll keep him..but he'll end up being another Ricky Williams..so eventually he'll end up suspended or they'll try to trade him.

Since the Texans just signed him to a 3 year extension, I don't think they are looking to get rid of him.  I think the team knows that it is really the O-Line that is killing them.  When he gets more than a few seconds to think, he is a great QB.  I think adding Bush to the roster and hopefully drafting out some good Offensive Linemen will make Carr a candidate for Offensive Player of the Year.

Well, I am laughing at the Texans right now. I am a Dallas fan. Thank God that they are not getting Bush. Now the Saints are going to be pretty good though. Brees and Bush. But who knows? This draft has been getting crazier ever since January 4.
