Mario Williams or Reggie Bush? Now it seems like the best pick out of the draft...Bush is always hurt and super Mario is on a tear, for his career he has: 152 total tackles and 116 solo tackles, 29.5 sacks and 172 yards lost and finally 1 TD and 7 forced fumbles. compared to Reggie, the Texans must have seen into the future on this one.
but the thing that has me wondering is, did the Texans have another motive than just the 2006 season? Yes the Texans got a freak in Mario but also in Amboi Okoye, but you start to wonder if there offense would be steady. Reggie would have brought an exciting game to Houston and wouldn't one defensive freak be better than none? well not for the Texans, they played they're cards well, they have drafted 3 of the premiere defensive players (Mario Williams, Amboi Okoye and DeMeco Ryans) in the NFL, they have matured a wide out into a special teams ni
ghtmare (Jacboy Jones) and turned a 4Th round tight-end into an every down blocker and receiver. But lost in all this is the 3rd round pick in the 08' draft...well he isn't "lost" you just can't see him due to his blinding speed and insane power for a back that was "too small to be an every down back in the NFL" (ESPN's Todd McShay).
Yes Steve Slanton...he is running wild on the NFL for a .500 team. also this is a team that has been a draft and sign defense first. well with they're small and smart signings, getting Matt Schaub pays out very other game, re-signing Brandon Frye, getting Chris Myers from the Boncos and re-singing Andre Davis have started to put a hop in the Texans step. now by drafting Salton the Texans invested into the future, now having played the drafts and free-agent signings the Texans look like geniuses.
I'm sure you saying to yourself "Reggie won the Heisman and he played for USC" well USC is overrated on players being good NFL players, Carson Palmer, troy Polamalu, Sammy knight, Junior Seau and willie McGinest. Just think of it this way, just cause you play for the power house in college, doesn't mean you are an all pro in the NFL.
At the end of the day Steve Salton is 426 yards, 188 carries, 4 tds and 10 less fumbles in one season compared to Reggie's three full seasons...and hows Reggie doing as an every down back? oh hes hurt...
