The texans have contacted DE Mario Williams's agent to start contract talks, and might use the 1st overall pick on him.
I, too, read, the Texans were talking to M Williams. I wonder if a trade is in the works. The most likely partner IMO is the jets who will take Ferguson (for the Texans) if he is still on the board.
The Texans should be talking to all the top prospects in case of a trade. But to say they're working out a contract is a bit strange when Bush is clearly the #1 prospect should they keep the pick.
Yeah, there's no way the Texans take Mario Williams #1 overall. It's a smoke screen. Reggie Bush is going to be the guy. Despite what Vince Young says...
It is true but there just covering their basis. There saying to Bush. Your not the only guy we want...
Its not that illogical to think that the Texans would consider Williams 1st overall....for now, they cant stop anyone and they play in a division with Peyton Manning, Steve McNair(for now), and Byron Leftwhich....can Reggie Bush put any of those guys on thier asses? Nope, but Mario Williams can.... they already have Dom Davis and not everyone rates Bush as high as some....the media has seriously overhyped the guy....RBs are great, but good one can be had later and if they run the zone blocking like the broncos do, you can find very productive backs late in the draft....if they can trade the pick, that would be best, because I dont think they are in love with the idea of picking Reggie Bush....

I'd be shocked if Reggie Bush wasn't the 1st name called on 4/29. If the Texans take Mario at #1 just b/c they weren't able to work out a deal with Bush then they are making a big mistake. I can understand wanting to bring down Reggie's asking price but by negotiating with Mario they lose trade leverage IMO. For FAs to be the Texans will look cheap & poorly run. Soon the little fan support they're clinging to now will be gone. So much is riding on this pick. The city of Houston already lost a football team once. Don't think it couldn't happen again. Can you say Los Angeles Californians?

Because if the a GM makes a popular pick and its a huge bust then its the GMs job not the fans.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (bakes781)</div><div class='quotemain'>Bush isn't just the fans pick though.

Also we have no clue what Bush can do in the NFL. He could be the next Barry Sanders or he could be the next Ryan Leaf. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TheBeef)</div><div class='quotemain'>I dont put too much stock in "Draft Experts"</div> I put zero stock into what they say because there off about 99% of the time. I'm not saying that I'm an expert, but I have a feeling that Houston is going to either trade out or trade Bush for another player and a draft pick.
