Texans agree to terms with Mario Williams

I think with Reggie not going to Houston is the best thing that could have happend to him. If he goes to the jets and Mangini focuses on O Line he will have a good start.

I'm not allowed to project Bush?

I'll take it up a notch. It's so dumb, that if the Blazers went back in time knowing how MJ turned out, and took Bowie again, this Texans move would be even dumber.

That is how amazingly good I think Bush will be. Best college player I've ever seen.

That might be the dumbest statement you have ever made on this board. You certainly are allowed to project but jesus fargin christ man to make some lame ass analogy like you just have c'mon that is ridiculous.

Wow. I didn't think they actually had the cajones to do it.

I think the Jets trade up with teh quickness and get Bush at #2.

I would think the Jets would be trying to trade up to this spot furiously.

That was my very first thought when I heard.

Any chance Bush falls to 14?

Drunkmasterflex · April 28, 2006, 09:49:43 PM

Boy whoever picked this in their mock draft for the contest likely already has won. I know I sure didn't think this was ever happening.

Well noone really knows how good Bush will be. It's all a guessing game and the Texans took a gamble. Big deal. Next pick please.

Adam Schefter over at NFL.Com says the texans balked at Bush' contract demands and took Williams instead.

They'll get more mileage out of a monster DE than a RB. Even one like Bush.

This is going to go down as the worst decision in sports history. Even worse than Bowie over MJ.

Please.

The issue with this decision is that the Texans didn't trade out of the top spot. If they were set to take someone other than Bush, they should have traded down, not selected someone other than Bush with the first pick. Personally, I thought that they should have traded down to take Ferguson.

the saints probably wanted Mario Williams...so did the texans...the only thing the texans could do was get williams at the #1 spot.

i have bush going to tennessee...but i had the texans actually taking ferguson

I had Williams #1 in my first mock, then revised it twice with Bush at #1.

MURP · April 29, 2006, 12:01:21 AM

lmao at comparing Reggie Bush to Michael Jordan. After Bush leads his NFL team to atleast 6 super bowl wins we can talk about comparing draft trades.

MDS · April 29, 2006, 12:24:47 AM

sal pal said the saints will take bush

PhillyPhreak54 · April 29, 2006, 01:02:15 AM

Very, very interesting.

I've said for awhile that Houston should not take Bush. I thought they should've traded out to 4 with NYJ and taken Ferguson because they need OL in a bad way.

Is Mario worth the #1 pick? We shall see. But is the hype is right, and I think it is, he will be very good.

Now the question is, will NO take Bush? Sal Pal thinks so. And they should.

But they should also explore trading with the Jets if NY wants Bush.

Today is going to be fun.
