Because they're brain-dead and want to remain losers forever.

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.

Texas has already made it clear that they will stick with bush.  Their quarterback Carr was also the first round pick, just a couple of years ago.  They have gaurunteed him that posistion for the upcomming season.

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

Houston Nutt. He just seems like he would bring alot more energy to the locker room. Vince Young was the energy of Mac Brown's Longhorns. Brown didnt have anything to do with how pumped those guys were for that game.

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.

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.

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.

I dont remember reggie playing with the Astros

The Texans are 5 yrs old.  You dont build a franchise around a DE...what moron made that decision.  I am not a Bush Fan cause I am a Horns Fan.  But you cant deny the fact that he is a big play guy.  He is a threat at RB, WR, KR, PR and anything else he decides to do.  Young is a great QB but the Texans have aready invested 5 yrs in Carr.  They should have taken Bush and build their franchise around Carr, Bush and Davis....what complete idiot takes a DE with the 1st pick in the draft....whats the best he is going to contribute...a sack a game?

Reggie Bush.   Unless Houston goes for a Quarter Back.  Then It would be Lienart.  Vince Young is not coming out this year he will be a Longhorn next year.  HOOK EM HORNS!!!!!

Jay Cutler should be the first pick.\n\nHe's coming off a great combine and I believe Bush is overrated. Bush was a great college player on a great team. But, he will get drafted by a bad team. NAME one running back that has carried his team to the Super Bowl. None. A good quarterback or good defense has more impact to a team than a great running back.

I still can't believe they passed on Reggie Bush. I think that   Mario Williams may be just as good of a player but he has some big shoes to fill. The Texans attendance has gotten progressively worse since their first year and they need to sell tickets.  The fans were screaming for Vince Young but over a few months they warmed alittle to the idea of Bush only to not get either.  The QB and RB position have so many more measurable also it makes it very hard for a DE to keep up in popularity.  A QB has passer rating, yards, TD and YDs to be judged by and a RB has rushing yds, catches, tds and YDS/rush. All a DE has is sacks to be measured by.  Even if Mario Williams turns out to be the best DE of his era.  In order to be justified to Texans fans he also has to be better than Bush and Young which is unlikely.

Presuming he enters the draft, I say the 49ers. The Texans may get the first pick, but they already have a decent RB in Domanick Davis. They'd probably trade down and draft Ferguson, the juggernaut offensive lineman. Houston needs protection up front. If that happens, the Niners have no reason not to pick Reggie Bush. I'm sure a lot of fans down there will go crazy if they land him.

With Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson, along with Dante Hall and Trent Green, the Chiefs have a far superior team to the Texans.  Had the Texans drafted Bush they may have been closer but the Chiefs still would've been much better.

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/

Unless Houston selects the offensive tackle Ferguson(which is unlikely), the Saints should take Vince Young. Aaron Brooks has not shown he can be a good starter, even with good wideouts.
