Draft Bush ..... Trade Domanick (1 Viewer)

[Ron_Mexico]

Why isn't there specualtion about

the Texans drafting Bush, and

trading Domanick Davis for a top

defensive player. It would make total

sense from the Texans point of view. You deal away

Davis while he still has top value, and

you get younger at RB with a player who

has unlimited upside.

Texans =

YES ANOTHER REGGIE BUSH THREAD!



WOOOOO HOOOOO!

 

[Bears_Man2]

Keep both. And watch the Texans become the most improved offense in the league.

With the plethora of RB's in the league, I most definitely don't see getting a top defensive player in return. At best, they'd get a mid-round draft pick. I don't consider that getting top value.

I think having Dom and Bush in the same backfield in situations is a great asset for Carr and the Houston offense in general. An offense that quite frankly sucked last year.

Wow, what a GREAT idea. I can't believe the other 1000 or so Bush posts didn't say the exact same thing.

No way that could work <Lendale and Bush>

As much as a $6+ mil cap hit makes sense, yes.

I bet you the Colts would offer their 3rd rounder for Davis

And it takes two teams to trade. Good luck finding the other bookend for this deal.

Agreed. If Seattle couldn't unload Shawn Alexander for a draft pick, why would they unload a pick for the obviously inferior Davis?Keep them and enjoy the dual-threat in your backfield while the defense tries to figure out who to cover between Reggie Bush, Dom Davis, Eric Moulds, Andre Johnson, and (my prediction for their 2nd round pick) Sinorice Moss.

would bush would serve as the powerback in houston?

 

[Couch Potato]

I wouldn't get too set on expecting Bush to be a Texan just yet.

There are a lot of rumblings the last couple of days that they may not want to meet his guaranteed money expectations, and want to be sure they are choosing a signable player before they draft. It still could happen, of course, but a tradedown with another team or the selection of M Williams remain possibilities.

Well, if their second round pick is Moss, the defense won't have to figure out who to cover. They'll know they can get to Carr in 1.2 seconds.

Drafting a rookie offensive tackle does not solve all your problems. See Williams, Mike; Barron, Alex; and Walker, Kenyatta (at least early on).They do have the first two picks in the 3rd, though, so they could wait on a 3rd/4th wideout until then, I guess. Heck, they already have a burner in Jerome Mathis, who could develop into a lethal weapon at slot if he develops more consistency. Plus, any of Eric Winson, Marcus McNeil, Davin Joseph, and Max-Gean Giles should be available by 2.01.

Moss was just a dream pick, in the end. I agree it would make tons more sense to draft an o-lineman with 2.01 as there should still be quality lineman available there and possibly even with 3.01 or 3.02.

The Texans OL has enough talent...they will add a player, but what they really need is coaching. What the Texans will focus on drafting at the top of the 2nd and 3rd is DEs. They only have one legitimate true DE on their roster, Anthony Weaver, and even he is more of a 3-4 type player.

I could be wrong, but Domanick Davis isn't too bad around the goaline. I could be wrong.

DE makes sense for them since they're reed thin there, but what if they decide to take Super Mario over Reggie Bush in the 1st?Just saying.....

Ive said my opinion on this a few times: unless Bush A) injures himself, or B) demands a contract hugely bigger than what Smith got last year, he will be a Texan.Williams is nothing more than a distant fallback option/negotiating leverage.

Please, please stop using Shaun Alexander as an example of teams not being able to trade RBs for draft picks.1) Shaun Alexander was an Unrestricted Free Agent at the end of 2005, so if you can't resign him, you basically rented him for one year at top $$$ for a 2nd round pick and if you really wanted Alexander, you could have waited till 2006 and signed him then and lost no draft pick.

2) Shaun Alexander just signed a contract to be the Highest Paid RB in NFL history. He might have even held out after being traded to another team if they wouldn't have given him the record contract and maybe just played the last 6 games to still become an UFA at the end of 2005.

Those are the two reasons that teams didn't give a draft pick for Alexander. If Alexander, like DD does now, had a reasonable contract for another few years, then I bet a ton of teams would have jumped on the deal for a 2nd round pick.
