Did I just see that the Texans reached

**Dunit35** · 04-28-2006, 06:22 PM

an agreement with Mario Williams? He will be the #1 pick.

blueballs · 04-28-2006, 06:23 PM

yes
#1 pick
Mario

**Mr. Kotter** · 04-28-2006, 06:33 PM

Yup. You sure did. It will make the rest of the draft interesting, now. New Orleans folks have to be doing a jig right about now.....I can't see them drafting Bush, but they just got the leverage they needed for a trade.

I don't think the Pack need to move up to #2.
They can probably land the guy they are targeting at #5.

I think they will take either AJ Hawk or Vernon Davis.

Houston better be joking about drafting Mario, or Casserly is even dumber than I thought he was.

Agree, this better be a smokescreen of epic proportions, otherwise the Texans have officially become the laughingstock of the NFL.

How stupid can you be...

Why?

Bush is going to be a great back, but he won't lead them to a SB.

If I was selecting for the Texans, I would be taking Williams, or Ferguson, if I couldn't find a trade down partner.

I heard on ESPN Radio today, no RB taken #1 overall has ever played in the SB for the team that drafted him.

Only one has ever been on a SB team.

How do you know Bush can't lead Houston to a Super Bowl? Do you have a crystal ball?

Bush could help Houston create the new version of The Triplets with Carr, Bush, and Andre Johnson. That kind of triple threat attack could certainly lead them to a Super Bowl someday.

**Dunit35** · 04-28-2006, 07:08 PM

The Texans DID NOT need Bush and if you couldn't see that then you're and idiot. They needed help on the OL and help all around on the defensive side. They already have a running back.

Ever heard the term "best player available"? When you're picking #1 overall you have A LOT of holes, not just one or two. Bush was considered by far the best overall player available by the extreme majority of experts and one of the best prospects of the last twenty years.

Mario vs. Bush is a no-brainer IMO.

A "special" player like Bush can't help you if you can't figure out how to get him on the field.

Williams is the smart pick.

Bush is overrated he's not Gail Sayer or Barry Sanders, and I believe Williams isn't a reach the guy is an amazing athlete also. The Texan's already have a running game, and like you said they have holes to fill and the D-line is one of them

Poor wording.

The Texans need O-Line help.

The "Triplets" won't have a whole lot of success unless, and until, they fix that.

They also need help on D.

Bush is smallish.
He might not hold up long enough to get the rest of the team fixed.
