Whur CHad At? Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/HOU/9269639Looks like they are intersted in trading down....Bush could be headed to San Fran, or Jets possibly? Quote
Green 66 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Makes sense to me, though wouldnt the jets be picking one of the QB's rather than bush?Mike GreenWaynesville Ohio Quote
Ox Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 I'm sorry, but I don't think you can pass up Reggie Bush. It would have to be a HUGE amount of comp to get rid of that guy. Quote

It would have to be a HUGE amount of comp to get rid of that guy.Houston has way bigger than needs than RB right now. I would say go for it Houston. Reggie Bush is over rated anyway Quote
ArmyBengal Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 If it's the Jets, I say Lienart is the pick...If it's the 49er's, I say Bush is the pick...Either way, I'm not really concerned. I think trading down is definitely the way to go for Houston. They will get MAD compensation for trading down and be able to address the main need of that team... O-LINECan you say D'Brick ??WHODEY !!! Quote
Ox Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 If they trade out of this pick, someone is getting their ass fired in about 2 seasons. No way they make that move. Quote
kingwilly Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 8-ball says....."Trade down"....Bush is an excellent player but addressing the Texans problems requires more than what he offers....namely a quick, run around RB...Let's look at it this way...Reggie could not make half those runs vs an NFL Team with the Texans line....Trade down to around 4-7....take AJ Hawk/V. Davis/D'Brick/Mario Williams and stock the picks from r2-4...Plus they'll save some bank for FA's. Quote
Stripes Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 I'm with Ox. If you have the chance to draft the most amazing collegiate prospect in decades, then you do it. I don't CARE what your needs are as a team, you take that guy and build a new team around him. If the Texans do trade down and Bush ends up as good as advertised, then they will be chastised for it as a franchise for a long time, just like the Blazers and Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Posted February 27, 2006 I am sorry, but I don't think Reggie Bush is the most amazing prospect to come out of college in decades. That is what they said about Peter Warrick and look how that all ended up. Reggie Bush will be a BUST, trust me...he is not an complete everydown back. Quote
Kazkal Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Only reason texans should trade down IMO is to grab D'brick anyone else would not be worth it imo Quote
bengalboomer7 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Reggie Bush is awesome, but you can turn your team around quickly if you wisely use about 10 draft picks.Even though Bush is talented, we're talking one draft pick vs having about 3-4 extra. Trade down and build your team. Quote

The_Next_Big_Thing Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 If they trade out of this pick, someone is getting their ass fired in about 2 seasons. No way they make that move.Trading out of this spot or not, someone is getting their ass fired in about 2 seasons. If they don't trade down, their oline can't support their pick, and the coach gets fired.If they do trade down, and Carr (going into his 5th season) and Domanick Davis (only in his 4th season) still can't get it done, the coach gets fired.They don't NEED Bush. Davis is a pretty damned good player. 2 1000 yard seasons, and a 3rd that was very close to a 1000 yard season despite only playing in 11 games. And that's without a real offensive line to block for him.They should make this move to trade down just enough to get D'brickshaw Ferguson, and an additional 2nd round pick. Quote
kentjett Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Reggie Bush has power and quickness and he is fast as hell. I don't know how you can consider him a bust. He is a bigger better Marshall Faulk. Give him the ball in space and he has the chance to take it all the way. He's a lot faster than Peter Warrick and plays RB where height doesn't matter all that much, not a very good comparison. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Has anyone watched just how pathetic Houston's O-line is ?? I guess Carr being sacked more times than any QB in the league last year was his fault ?? You can't expect Bush to come in and be the answer for that offense with the O-line they have in place. Put me in the trade down camp for Houston.WHODEY !!! Quote
HairOnFire Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 I agree, Houston has to trade down. Reggie Bush has the potential to be a special player, but Houston will never get their offense on track until they address their O-line issues. David Carr has been sacked over 200 times in 4 years. Quote
Stripes Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 The Texans can't solve all their problems in one draft. If they use their number one overall pick to take the best player, they can use all their other early round picks on the line, or wait until NEXT year to do that. Sure, Texans fans don't want to spend another season in the dumps, but I think Reggie Bush is worth that risk. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Posted February 27, 2006 Houston may have met a partner to trade withJets Seek LeinartSeems like the Jets really want Leinart. I think they are shopping Abraham right now to get a first round pick, which will prob. happen with Denver, so they can trade that Pickand their #4 to Houston. Houston should capitalize on this, and get D'Brick. Quote
Kazkal Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Even if they diden't trade down they'd be able pick up a franchise linemen in 2nd round being how deep line is this year some will fall for sure. Quote

The guy is one the best lineman I have seen in years. Quote
Kazkal Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Aye just saying they can still get awesome linemen if they take bush:P they get 2 if they trade with jets Quote
HairOnFire Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Yup, I wrote about a week ago that the Texans were one of the teams showing interest in trading for Abraham. Combine that nugget with the threads about Pennington and Cutler and the obvious wisdom of Houston trading down and you've suddenly got the makings of a perfect storm...err...trade rumor. Quote
