Point taken on the '06 draft. After calling the shots for 14 drafts between the Redskins and Texans, sooner or later he was going to hit pay dirt. Though I would add that it was actually Texans' owner Bob McNair who made the decision to pass up on Bush and draft Mario. He said he wasn't interested in paying the money that Reggie Bush would command.
