What would you do if you were the Texans and had the first pick in the draft this year?

If the Texans dont keep Reggie Bush and improve that team they are doomed.\n\nReggie Bush all the way.

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.

#1:Reggie Bush,I know the Texans have the ReturnMan Spot locked down(Jerome Mathis 66 Returns 1610 Yds 2 Tds,Rookie,Pro Bowl) but so many people r saying that Domanick Davis Is such a great back but he didnt have very good stats( 976 Yards and 2 rushing TDs;but he did have 4 recieving TDs) but that isnt good enough to win u many games and Reggie can produce much more than that.(Reppin SE 619!!!)\n\n#2:Saints;They cannot trade down,They should draft Mario Williams,NC State he has great potential and amazing talent he remind me of Julius Peppers who was drafted #2 overall\nand they are similar in size and playing style          (JP:6-7,283;MW:6-7,290)\n\n#3:Matt Leinart,Titans Offensive Coordinator Norm Chow was M.L.'s Oc at USC so he knows him pretty well and with Mc Nair Probably Leaving they'll need him..\n\nSE 619

The Bills probably should have taken a defensive end like Broderick Bunkly or Kamerion Wmbley.  Even Haloti Ngata at nose tackle would have been a good pick, Whitner is a good player, but I think they should have considered trading down a 4 or five spots and pick him up there.  The only team I think they had to worry about taking Whitner is Dallas, but they had the 18th pick,  So as long as the Bills stayed at 12 or 13 they would still get their man and may even pick up a late second or third round pick in the process.

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

The Houston Texans said last week that they wanted to make sure whoever they drafted would be in camp on time. They did not believe that Reggie Bush's agent would accept their contract offer. Since they had Mario Williams rated almost equal and his agent was easier to deal with they knew they could get a deal done right away. Also the Texans have several good running backs and an awful pass rush. Now they have filled one of the key spots with the highest rated defensive lineman to come around in many years.

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.

Bush...it's easier to get a power running back then an all purpose yards running back like Reggie Bush.  While White had an exceptional game against Texas in the Rose Bowl, picking him first would be foolish.  You have to look at the whole enchilada when you pick up a RB.  Can my guy make catches? Do I have the offensive line to help make the holes needed for a PowerBack?  Well, the answer for the Texans is not yet.  Their offenisive line(while much improved) still is not good enough to provide the holes large enough for a straightforward power running game.  They need a RB like Bush who can not only run a finesse game, but catch a quick slant or out.  They need more options then just a power game.  The Jets would be more in line to pick up White w/ the 4th pick.  White's good, but not what the Texans need w/ their first pick.  Vince Young will also go before White as well as Leinart.

If 3 people in front of you take a QB, your fellow managers are as sharp as a bag of marbles.  DO NOT TAKE A QB IN THE FIRST ROUND!!!!\n\nI don't even care what your scoring methods are.  Do not take a QB in the 1st round.  There is so much depth at QB this year, you can get a very good - great QB in the 4th - 6th round.\n\nHere are the QB's that should be the top ten taken, in no specific order.\n1. Peyton Manning (he should be #1 QB)\n2. Carson Palmer (probably 2nd best)\n3. Donovan McNabb\n4. Daunte Culpepper\n5. Trent Green\n6. Marc Bulger\n7. Tom Brady\n8. Matt Hasselbeck\n9. Jake Delhomme\n10. Jake Plummer\n\nIf you notice, I left off notable QB's like Vick, McNair, Bledsoe, Leftwich, Brooks, Brees, Warner, E. Manning, and Favre.\nThat's 19 starting QB's that are all pretty close in value.  However, after the top flight RB's are gone, you don't have jack squat to choose from.\n\nHere is the order, if the managers don't have soft foam in between their ears.\n\n1. LaDanian Tomlinson\n2. Shaun Alexander\n3. Larry Johnson (order of top 3 may switch)\n4. Edgerrin James\n5. Clinton Portis\n\nSince you are picking 6, I would either look to trade down to the bottom of the round, or look to move into the top 3.  If you can't trade draft picks, per say, look to see if anyone would want Manning in a trade below you or look to take 1 of these RB's.  Rudi Johnson, Domanick Davis, Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, Willis McGahee, Deuce McAllister, LaMont Jordan (especially if you get pts for receptions).  I would hold off on Tiki as he is inconsistent from year to year.  If any of these RB's are available when you have your pick in the 2nd round, or possibly Kevin Jones, Julius Jones, Steven Jackson, Ahman Green, or Jamal Lewis, TAKE THEM IMMEDIATELY (I think Reggie Bush is a 2nd - 3rd round pick).  The only non-RB I might contemplate taking in the 2nd round is Peyton Manning.  I probably wouldn't take Steve Smith that early (assuming there are 10 managers) as he has yet to put up 2 great years back to back.  If it is a 12 team league or more and Smith is available at your pick on the way back, take him then.\n\nGood luck and remember NO QB'S IN THE 1ST ROUND!!!!  I don't know how else to tell you that.\n\nRemember, it isnt always about getting the best player available, but getting the most out of each draft pick.  If you insist on taking a QB in the 1st e rounds, which sounds better on your team.  P Manning, K Jones, and C Benson (could be really good, could suck)  or Rudi Johnson, S Jackson, and D. Culpepper/McNabb?  I would take the 2nd option, minus the QB and get a top notch WR in the 3rd round.\n\nYou generally cant go wrong with RB's in the 1st 2 rounds, but taking a QB in the 1st definitely won't help.

he will probably go in the late rounds to a team with an established quarterback.  he has a lot to prove.  poor decision making in big games cost him this year.  not to mention that he only has one year of major college ball experience.

They obviously went with a need pick. Their DL last year was pretty bad. Not picking Bush means that Domanick Davis IS healthy. It's a tough call, would you take Bruce Smith or Marshall Faulk in their prime? I'm just glad Houston didn't take Bush cuz I wanna see Reggie play for many, many years. Houston now has Kubiak which has installed Denver's offense. Denver's offense is harsh on RBs. RBs don't usually last there.

They have a lot of needs on the team. I would have traded the pick for more picks later on. It would have been foolish for them to draft Bush then pay him that money as well as Domanick Davis.  That much money at the RB position wouldn't have allowed them to upgrade any need position. Just on Run/Pass ratio of Kubiak's offensive system, Davis will likely get 200 more yds per season on avg. Bush would have killed their cap and they still wou;n't be able to rush the passer.

Happened about 5 hours ago, but yea, its a bad decision on Taxans behalf. If they werent gonna take Reggie, they shoulda got Vince, even though they still wont be winning, he would put butts in the seats. But good news is, with that dumb pick, the Texans will prob have the first pick next year so  they can get the Beast Adrian Peterson(Hopefully) or another good RB.

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/

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.
