Well it's already retarded before it's started. The Texans have signed DE Mario Williams over Reggie Bush. That's about as smart as Porky Pig converting to Islam. :x The Texans are doomed to apathy around here now.

Re: NFL Draft

why was bush passed over? was it ultimately the real estate bullshit i heard on espn?

Re: NFL Draft

nope; Williams apparently impressed them enough when they had him in and they ultimately decided to go with him over Bush.

Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to bet the whole real estate thing might have raised a shadow of a doubt, but no one's saying such right now.

Which means, Bush could go to New Orleans...which means....good luck :lol:

Re: NFL Draft

Looks like the Texans went with Williams over Bush for the main fact that they were able to sign Williams before draft day, which was not the case with Bush.
Texans have a history of signing players before they are drafted (case in point David Carr) because they don't want their rookies to holdout due to contract disputes.

Re: NFL Draft

the texans needed defense badly. their new coach came from denver, where the philosophy is you can basically make any RB into a 1000yd rusher. so i cant imagine kubiak wanted to spend an ungodly amount of money on a position they see they can get better value at with dominic davis. they singlehandledly transformed their defense to a 4-3 with this pick, and i think williams will be one hell of a player (see julius peppers).

Re: NFL Draft

Jets took D'Brickashaw, not the glamorous pick, but proabably a really smart move. I still would have loved a Linart jersey.

Re: NFL Draft

Being a die hard Saints fan I cannot put into words how happy I am that we got Reggie Bush. We have so many other needs especially on "D" but you can't pass up on a talent like Reggie. Cant wait for football season to start!!!

Re: NFL Draft

I think its smart to not take Bush.. i think he is to small to play in the big leagues unless he is a new Warrick Dunn.. take the fast "d" guy its a safe call.. i don't think reggie is gonna be as effective as what people hype him up to be..

Re: NFL Draft

The Bills are a goddamn joke..

Go Sabres!

There's no reason to be "safe" when you have the first pick in the draft. You have the worst record in the league; there's nothing left to be "safe" from.

Reggie is over estimated.. you don't know how he is gonna react when he has a 25-30 carry game at -4* in chicago in the NFL.. he had White to back him up and he also had the best passing game in college which set up a lot of holes for him.. many unanswered questions IMO.. good pick by the Texans.. New Orleans is now stuck with him.. let's see if they can sign him.:lol:

Re: NFL Draft

ESPN.com columnist Gene Wojciechowski summed it up well.

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]With the 89 year old owner and 80 year old GM, I am surprised they did not forget to make their picks at all. I have been Bills fan for a long time but Bills are the joke of the league now. There is a reason why old people should not drive; they should not be managing and NFL franchise either. Luckily I live in Maryland now so don?t have to watch Bills to be an embarrassment.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Re: NFL Draft

^^no you watch the Ravens instead to get nearly the same amount :lol: :lol:

Re: NFL Draft

I live in Houston and have yet to hear one positive thing about Bush and Young being passed over. If Bush has a great career, they'll talk about that stupid decision for years to come. Most people already wanted Vince Young to be picked anyway since there's so many Texas fans here.

The Texans missed out on creating a buzz in the city by not drafting a high profile player like Bush or Young. I don't have a lot of faith in the GM and though he should've been fired along with the Head coach last year.

Hear here.

Re: NFL Draft

i think there might be some more devolopments in the whole housing controversy that were severe enough for the texans to lose interest.
