1. Confirmed on the Texans website

2. I'm stunned

This is a stupid move.

[Droopy]

3. Isn't Bush a quarterback?

Don't they already have a good prospect at that position? Please excuse me if I've got it wrong.

4. RB

[Wapsie B]

6. Running back

[NJ Democrats]

9. As the others said he is a RB.

5. Where will Reggie Bush end up?

NO has the next pick and they need a RB. Brees is their QB so that takes Leinhart out of the equation.

[NJ Democrats]

11. I think NO picks him or trades the pick

The pick has huge value now!

7. God Damn it

I wanted him to be a Packer. Oh well I guess we will have to "settle" for AJ Hawk.

[gizmo1979]

17. Maybe

we'll end up with reggie.We were talking trade with New orleans for Walker maybe we switched spots wouldn't that be a hoot!

[mduffy31]

21. That would be....

...no other word will work here, fucking awesome.

[Blue_Tires]

8. wow....

a DE #1 overall.....he better be a multi-year all-pro or better!

[maveric]

10. They could draft Reggie and trade him for a couple of quality players.

Like an couple of veteren O-lineman.
Carr was sacked 68 times last year.

[NJ Democrats]

12. They already signed Williams

[GOPisEvil]

13. Houston is in a division with the Colts.

Having a good DE makes tons of sense. I guess.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

19. Although if he plays Right End it's kinda pointless.

He'll be going up against the Left Tackle, which is the strongest offensive lineman, at least if the QB is right-handed anyway. Put him on the left side and you've got some interesting possibilities.

[maveric]

14. Can you see NO taking Young and converting him to a RB?

He's got the speed, strength and legs for it.

[NJ Democrats]

15. I can't.

Plus why would they? The only RB they would pick is Bush because he is so explosive.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

18. I think he's too tall for that.

Most of your RBs are right under 6 foot or thereabouts. He's more valuable as someone who can throw or run on you.

[NJ Democrats]

16. The deal is 6 yr 54m.

[Joey Liberal]

20. I don't blame them

I love Reggie Bush, but he probably wanted too much money, and this crap he's involved in will get messy. He is a great player. He'll make millions, so don't feel too sorry for him. The Texans screwed up though. They could have traded down and gotten a few top players. They need to protect their QB, so they drafted a defensive end? This is why the Texans will always suck.

[Dave Sund]

22. Absolutely stupid

If they weren't going to pick Bush, they could have gotten much more value out of that pick by trading it.

[NJmaverick]

23. May not be that stupid of move

I have my reservations about Bush. He has the build of a WR. I am wondering how he will hold up to the pounding he will get in the NFL.

[VolcanoJen]

24. I'm wondering how many millions of dollars Matt Leinart loses...

... every time a team takes a pass on him?

Oakland just picked a safety. Poor Matt. }(
