Do you think that Reggie Bush should have been the first pick?

Defense wins championships.  Payton Manning was a great selection, but his team hasn´t made it all the way.  I think Houston did a fine job

Yes Reggie bush is overrated. No doubt he is a very talented athlete. But he was surrounded by an outstanding supporting cast. From His QB, O-line, DEFENSE, and not to mention his partner in the backfield. He is talented but any back of the same caliber would have the same success as Mr Bush.

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.

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!

I think many Houston and Texas people are upset because they didn't get Bush.  Here is my positive theory:\nIf the Texans wanted to get short-term ticket sales, they would have gotten Bush.  If they even want to consider winning a superbowl within the next 5 years, they took Mario Williams. Bush is more talented, but the Texans already have a running back-Domanick Davis.  By the way the guy who answered the question b4 me, it's reggie bush not willaims....you may have made a mistake. and the Jet's Suck!!! I am a Pat fan!!!!!!!!

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/

1st pick:Houston:OL D'Brickashaw Ferguson.Houston NEEDS an offensive lineman.D. Davis and Carr have potential. But they need protection.\n\n2nd pick:New Orleans:QB Matt Leinart.Brooks is still fumbling,and Vince Young is leaning towards skipping the draft according to ESPN.com.\n\n3rd pick:Tennessee:RB Reggie Bush.Tennessee has no good RB, and Reggie won't stand not being in the top 3.\n\n4th pick:New York Jets:QB Jay Cutler.LT almost threw as much TD passes as all of the Jets QB's.And as I said,Young is leaning towards skipping the draft.Plus, Chad Pennington is injury prone.\n\n5th pick:Green Bay:RB DeAngelo Williams.Ahman Green will tutor him to be better than the master.Ahman had too bad of an "off" season.\n\n6th pick:Oakland:DB Michael Huff.Everyone knows Oakland has one of the best QB to WR combos. They just need a defense. They only had 5 INT's, worst in the regular season.\n\n7th pick:San Francisco:DE Mario Williams.San Fran will have to stop the run. Mario is one of the best DE's in the draft.\n\n8th pick:Buffalo:DE Tamba Hali.Another team that needs to stop the run.At the beginning of the season, they were the worst run defense.\n\n9th pick:Arizona:OT Marcus McNeill.Detroit trades for Josh McCown.And with Warner,an O-Line is all they need......On the defensive side.\n\n10th pick:Arizona:OLB A.J. Hawk.And there is part of the defense. Another team that needs a DB also.\n\nThere is your top ten from me.

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.

They're nuts!\n\n\nNot only do you pass on Reggie Bush, but more importantly you pass on Vince Young and Leinhart!\n\nI don't care what the reason is! David Carr was not a better player than either of the two QB's in college, and he's been "iffy" as a Pro.\n\nReggie Bush might be the most athletic Running Back to be drafted since...\n\nMario Williams is a great pick for any team, but not with THAT MUCH talent ahead of him!\n\nI don't think teams were smart to let Leinhart fall to 10. I hate USC but that #%@#@ can really deliver the football to his teammates.

The draft gurus for each team should pick the player that will be the best asset to the team.  If, for example, the Indianapolis Colts had the first pick in this year's recent draft, they would have been foolish to pick up Vince Young or Matt Leinart, since they already have their starting QB in Peyton Manning.  The Houston Texans evaluated what they were lacking and decided that a big playmaker on Defense would help them out the most.  That is why they went with Mario Williams.  He may not be a better player than Leinart, Young, or Reggie Bush, but he was what was needed.  Clearly, you don't just draft the best players out there, but specifically which ones will fill the needs in your team's Depth Chart.\n\nFantasy drafts are the same way.  There may be some great QBs or RBs still on the boards, but you need to fill all of your positions so that you can have a starting lineup.\n\nYour comment about prestige and bonus money is valid, but the team owners and GMs should look to what is good for the team as a whole, not for the benefit for one up and coming prospect.

Well lets see Bush is deff the most vauled player. And if you saw him at USC he ran with Lendale white. Most nfl teams neeed two quality runningbacks. Now the saints have 2!! So if deuce got hurt again Bush steps in. Plus Bush reutrns kick off and punts plus if you listen to what people say he can line up in the slot reciever position as well. GREAT PICK FOR THE SAINTS and ALL MADDEN PLAYERS!! LOL Ohh yahh im a bears fan !!! so ou dont think im just a saints fan saying this!!

Houston has a good young QB in Carr, a good your receiver in Johnson, and a good young RB in Davis. Logically, I would say trade down and build up the bigger needs at OL and defense in order to build a more complete team. However, Reggie Bush may be a once in a generation type of player and whatever team passes on him may be looked on historically as we do the Portland Trailblazers for passing on Michael Jordan.

Absolutely.  Nothing against Mario Williams as he was the best available defensive player.  The Texans needed a spark on offense.  Reggie Bush was a multidimensional weapon that would have caused havoc for defensive coordinators.  He would have also taken some of the pressure off of Carr.

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.

It could have became easy to draft Bush and play hostage negotiator with his draft rights, but they must have felt that draft Williams was the player to change the franchise cause you've heard the saying, defense wins championships and Mario Williams must have been the best chance  in their professional opinion for championship like defense, though I say its more of a start.

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.
