    The Falcons needed a pass rushing end to replace Patrick Kearny.

    Hey, it's cool. I didn't feel like Bush should be the pick for the Texans because I think you can find quality rb's in later rounds. But, I just didn't think he could be dismissed as a bust either just because his rushing yards weren't all that his rookie year.

    My desire for the Texans last season was to trade down (if possible) and take Ferguson. I just think O-line is that vital and valuable. I'm a huge VY fan, but I just didn't think they should draft VY if they were planning on keeping Carr, which is what they were claiming they wanted to do.

    I think the Texans should target:

    Safety Marvin White- TCU
    CB Jonathan Wade- Tennessee
    WR- a lot available, but Legudu Naanae from Boise St. intrigues me. He's 6'2" 225 lbs. and runs 4.41

    Bush is far more explosive than Westbrook. I think just about every team would take Bush over him. Bush's rookie year is comparable to Westbrook's 4th year.

    I completely understand. I honestly don't think of him as a bust (even though many people think I do, haha)... he's a good player. He makes his team better. I just don't see how his performance last year somehow proved him worthy of the hype he gets as one of the greatest prospects in the history of the league and a slam dunk No. 1 pick.

    I agree that in hindsight, trading down last year would've been the wise course of action.

    You selected by far Westbrook's worst season, however, when he was plagued by injuries. His second, third and fifth seasons had YPCs of 5.2, 4.6 and 5.1... far and beyond anything Bush did on the ground last season.

    I think every team would take Bush over him when you consider age and the shelf life of running backs. However, for one game right now, I'd take Westbrook, and I'm betting a majority of teams would do the same.

    Well maybe 1 game, but for all next year I think teams would take Bush.

    I never thought of it like that but yeah theres tons of nigerian kids who move to america and place out of whatever grade is expected for their age. I on the other hand did not cos i'm a stupid/dumb mofo.

    Amobi's gonna love H-town and so is his mum. H-town along with the DC area and atlanta have a huge nigerian population.

    The Maden commercials are both great. It will forever remind our gm and coaches they picked sorry ass mario Williams. Good pick this year though. Anything making fun of that pick makes sense to me.
