should the houston texans have taken reggie bush  1st pick in the nfl draft 2006?

They should have taken Bush. I know they need defense, but the fans wanted Bush or Young. The Texans said no to Young, so the fans were ok with Bush. Then the Texans sign Williams. He better be the next Bruce Smith or Julius Peppers or the fans will be disappointed.

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.

The following is my list of what players would be taken number 1 if that team had the number 1 pick.\n\nLions - Troy Smith (they've never had a mobile quarterback, and with Kevin Jones, Roy Williams, etc., Troy Smith is the missing peice, as long as he doesn't flop like that b1tch Joey Harrington)\n\nRaiders - Brady Quinn (Aaron Brooks is mobile enough, they really need to fix their offensive line, but a quarterback with a high football IQ would be better than a mobile one)\n\nArizona - Linebacker (sorry, I don't pay attention to coollege defensive players)\n\nSan Francisco - Calvin Johnson (another reciever to give Alex Smith better options, especially if Vernon gets healthy)\n\nMiami - Offensive Lineman (again, don't follow them either)\n\nCleveland - Calvin Johnson (Charlie Frye is going to be their man, so they will start loading up the offense for him)\n\nHouston - Mike Hart (to make up for not taking Reggie Bush last year, they still need a running back)\n\nTampa Bay - Who knows, they need everything at this point.

Yes....they are.  Complete morons.  They picked a guy for their number one draft pick, who couldn't record a sack against three division three schools.  That is not a number one draft pick. Oh...and Reggie Bush was right there....but I guess Domanick Davis is the answer.  HHHHHAAAAA!

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."

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.

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?

I think they made a good move.  How does someone pass up someone of his caliber?\n\nThey will fit him in.  The idea is to run both McAllister and Bush, kind of like that whole "thunder and lightning" cliche you hear all the time.  Plus McAllister is coming off ACL surgery, and most of the time those players are never the same.\n\nIt would be good for them because then both will probably be taking less punishment (Bush because he is smaller, McAllister because of his knee) and thus last longer into the season.\n\nOf course, there were probably a million different scenarios that could have played out.  In the end, we don't know what other teams offered the Saints for their spot.  If some team offered like 5 first round picks then they made a bad move.  But given the knowledge we do know I think they made the right choice.

The texans best player is arguably Dominick Davis. Their worst starting player is a 5 way tie amonst their offensive line. \n\nBush is the best talent in the draft. But the Texans don't need a RB. They would be best served trading down with a team in the top 5 to 7 spots and drafting an offensive lineman (D'Brickasaw Ferguson from UVA, Winston from SC), and securing other goodies from the trade.\n\nCarr will prove to be an effective QB if he can stand up after he drops back, he would also undoubtedly be in favor of drafting OL help. Drafting a rookie QB, Young or Leinart with the texans porous line, is just a bad move and also doesn't serve to fill a real area of need.

I live in Houston. And I'm pretty sure the Texas will mess up either way. They did it with the Oilers and will do it again with this draft pick. Fan base here wants Young if he goes pro, but bush will do if he doesnt. Its time to trade in the old beat up carr. We want YOUNG!

No, the Jets are not going to get Reggie Bush, because the Texans are going to have the #1 draft pick, and they are going to take him.  If they did get him, I believe they would be significantly better as he is a very special player.

Well no DUH "REGGIE BUSH"!!!!!!

I'd say Reggie. I feel like Young is going to get injured if he runs frequently. I like Vince Young really, but I think it's going to be Bush that gets the 1st overall pick.

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.

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.

I would have taken young too, from what I remember that's one of the reasons he was so excited to go into the draft in the first place was to be picked by the Texans.  don't get me wrong, Williams could be a good player, but I don't think the right fit for the team.  I just hope for the sake of the fans that your coaching staff knows something ever one else doesn't or has some kind of a plan.\n\nalso with picking young that would be a boost for the fan base, hell it would make me excited to see a home town boy make the team as a #1 pick!\n\noh and join the packers fans! we have a blast win, or loose!  were else would you see sold out every game for even a crummy season and life long waiting lists for season tickets! lol I am on it but I will probably have to put my spot in my will to any kids or grand kids I may have lol/

Houston Texans definately!  I think they are trying to lose the rest of the year to assure they get first Pick in the draft.
