    Why the Texans shouldn't draft Bush or Williams.

    Friday, April 28, 2006, 03:33 PM EST [Reggie Bush]

    The Houston Texans select #1 tomorrow in the NFL Draft and most experts have them taking RB Reggie Bush from the University of Southern California or DE Mario Williams from North Carolina State.

    The battle between the two players in the front offices of the Texans has been massive, but it looks that the Texans are leaning toward Bush like most figured.

    I am here to tell you why the Houston Texans shouldn't take either player with the first pick in the draft. Houston should trade down to pick #4 and take Tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson from the University of Virginia.

    Houston has a good running back in Dominick Davis who rushed for 976 yards and averaged 4.2 yards a carry. Davis put up almost 1,000 yards behind an offensive line that gave up over 80 sacks and had trouble run blocking.

    Why would the Texans need a running back in this position. It seems that RB is one of the few places that they don't have holes.

    Even if they don't feel that Davis is the answer at RB for their club, they still shouldn't go with Reggie Bush with the pick. Head Coach Gary Kubiak helped produce several 1,000 yard rushers in Denver while offensive coordinator there, and he did it with no first round draft picks at the running back position.

    Drafting Bush would be a huge mistake.

    Trading down and drafting an offensive lineman would show your fans that you care about winning much more then you do about selling tickets, which in result will sell tickets.

    Not only will drafting an offensive lineman bring the Texans praise with their fans, it will also show David Carr that they are behind him, and plan on protecting him.

    The next argument several experts will put toward my argument for Ferguson will be that no one wants to trade up for Bush at #1. That is simply untrue considering that those same experts put him as the best talent to come out of college since Barry Sanders. If he is, in fact, that talent then there should be teams lined up to draft him and would love to trade up for him.

    The New York Jets at #4 should be that team, knowing that RB Curtis Martin is on the downslide they should be foaming at the mouth to trade up for Bush.

    The facts prove that the Texans should shop the pick tomorrow gain more draft picks, and nab up Ferguson and show David Carr that they are investing in him.
