    Wow, I wonder what the mood is going to be like at the draft party.... :mad:

    I'm f'n shocked. Mario Williams is a great player, but #1 worthy? That should of been Bush. Unf$#@%believable.

    i thought if the Texans picked Vince Young over Reggie Bush some people would BOO!
    i thought once Reggie Bush was selected over Vince Young that most people would BOO!
    It looks like EVERYONE is going to BOO!!!

    So much for the "Williams is just a Bluff".

    I think I just anti-climaxed; I hope this wasn't a money issue.

    There's a trade coming. I just know it. They have something planned in the works.

    So does negotiations with Reggie Bush seize? Or is it inked in already?

    I swear, if I had a gun right now, and the the ones who made this decision were in front of me, I would blast their brains out. :mad:

    No... there's not. The guy signed a deal, a deal that only the Texans can pay him.

    I thought negotiations took place after drafting...not an NFL expert here, but I've been hyped up for MONTHS (since Rose Bowl) to see Bush in a Texas uniform...this is so sad

    I hope so too. Maybe they are taking him for the Jets and getting D'brick and the late 1st rounder they wanted.

    It's official now: the Dynamo are my third sport team in Houston (Rockets and Astros first)...that's where my money will go. F*** the Texans!

    New Orleans is really going to make out quite well on this especially after signing Drew Brees and not having to worry about getting a QB

    Not if you have the #1 pick... unless you were going to trade it (but since they've agreed to a deal, that's not possible).

    David Carr better be MVP next year.

    This is just a horrible pick. Williams is a great player, but when you have the #1 pick you take the best player available.

    Who made this decision? Casserly? Isn't he retiring after the draft?

    WOW, I was at my friend's house when I heard this, I simply had to go home and check out this BS. I was finally ready to watch the Texans more closely, was never a fan, but with someone as explosive and great as Bush, I just had to become a fan....and now this? Texans just lost 1 fan, I hope there are many others like me too.

    I really didn't think we were going to get Bush -- i'm a little bummed, but obviously Kubiak (who badly wanted Mario) had the final say.

    After all this though -- I would not at all be shocked if there was a trade for Vince.

    what kind of trade could they make? they signed Williams to a contract. The Texans, outside of Andre and Robinson, have no tradeable assets.

    I was shocked at first, but hey we'll just have to wait and see. It's not like Williams is a bad prospect. People that call this the Sam Bowie-Jordan redux is forgetting that Williams is a very good prospect. Great prospect? Probably not but it's not like we're getting a Bowie.
