ESPN.com: Day 1 winners and losers
 

NEW YORK -- The 2006 NFL draft moved to Radio City Music Hall, but the event was a soap opera.


Musicals are normally funny and whimsical. This draft wasn't. The Texans used business techniques in drafting and signing defensive end [URL="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/tracker/player?draftyear=2006&id=10290"]Mario Williams[/URL] over [URL="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/tracker/player?draftyear=2006&id=10305"]Reggie Bush[/URL] before the draft even started. Texans fans weren't happy not getting Bush or [URL="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/tracker/player?id=10300"]Vince Young[/URL]. Bush wasn't happy losing more than $6 million of guarantees.
