Mario Williams possibly big bust??

Personally Williams shouldn't have been the 1# pick. Williams will be a fine player, maybe a great player but he won't change the Texans offense. A runningback, or a quarterback would changed their future prospects.

A DE can't change the out come of a game on every play, a quarterback can change the outcome of the game on EVERY snap he takes, because he has the ball, and he's in control.

Mario has never been a projected 1st rounder. He was projected top 10 since the beginning of the season. Thats one reason I didn't want him, because in the beginning of the college season everyone said he could be a possibly top 5 pick that looks like Julius Peppers, and he never showed that to me.

By all accounts, running backs don't win championships. Quarterbacks don't win championships. Defenses win championships. What's the most important aspect of a defense? Stopping the run and rushing the passer. Having a defender who can do both is numero uno nowadays and that is what the Texans realized. Is Mario that type of player? Stay tuned, but you can't argue with the Texans' logic.

He will be considered a "Bust" almost no matter what he does. He has to be Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White and Peppers rolled into one. Mario, will unfairly be remembered as the Sam Bowie of football. He must have a better career than Vince and Reggie to not be considered a bust.

If the Texans' defense is in the top 15 for the next 10 years, it was a pick well spent in my book.

William's team didn't win many games and they had one of the most dominant defensive lines. Just shows that the defense doesn't matter if you don't have an offense.

I have a feeling it won't Titans2008...........................................

Reggie Bush was more than a running back. He could have been a #1 WR in this league, no doubt. 6'0, 200lbs with a 40" vertical and some of the best hands in this draft? Easily.

Reggie has better hands than LaDainian and is as good a runner. Would you seriously pass up LaDainian Tomlinson for someone lesser than Julius Peppers. For that kind of pick I want Julius or more, not less.

I can see the Texans needing a DE more than a rb, so this can only be seen as a need pick to me, not BPA. Bush was better without a doubt to me.

Mario had his moments, but way too inconsistent. That has to be a huge question mark....but the potential won out I guess. But it will be lots o egg in Casserly's face if he has a workout warrior bust.

As good as LT has been (probably as good as any running back ever or comparable to this point), he has yet to do anything as far as winning. Julius Peppers, meanwhile, has helped Carolina go deep into the playoffs on several occasions. LT is the person you hear about, but Carolina's defense has been quietly excellent. Which is exactly my point.
