if the texans trade down, it going to have to be completely out of the top 5... otherwise it's pretty pointless for them. MW is their #2 choice, but ANY trade would make it impossible for them to take him.

I don't think they will trade anywhere past 5. My guess is either the Jets trade up to 1 for Bush, or Houston makes the pick.

This is somewhat interesting (from nola.com):

"Since the inception of the Super Bowl, no running back who has been the No. 1 overall pick has been the primary contributor to a team that has won the big one. The lone exception: George Rogers, the first overall pick by the Saints in 1981 who won a Super Bowl ring with the Washington Redskins near the end of his career. None of the others - O.J. Simpson, Ricky Bell, Earl Campbell, Billy Sims, Bo Jackson or Ki-Jana Carter - played in the Super Bowl."
