This just made the draft a helluva lot more interesting...oh, and someone might know better than I, but I'm pretty sure that if you agree before the draft you are obligated to go with it, but I'm not sure
I can see NO getting a nice deal tomorrow, but I don't see them taking him...

WOW. Not only do they pass on a once in a lifetime college player like Bush but they dont even take the best defensive player in the draft.......

Bingo. What a stupid ass move this was. Shit like this should get your expansion team revoked.

That's arguable. Williams has been deemed the best DE prospect since Julius Peppers.
I see the Saints either trading down or taking Vernon Davis now.

I think the only team they could have realistically traded down with to be sure to get Williams would be New Orleans who may not have been interested. I don't know, I think this is as about as dumb a move as I've seen in a while and I'm a Browns fan.

This is good for all the teams. MArio probably signed for less then Bush would have at 1, so all the draft picks will make less this year because of it.

But I didn't, so it doesn't
A cliche, but it takes two to tango.
If Houston felt they were locked into that spot, all they had to do was weigh the marginal value of Williams over their present DEs vs. Bush over Morency/Davis and a Pro Bowl returner in Mathis. And I'm sure Bush's contract demands came into play a bit as well.
