I always wanted to bring this scenario up but always forget too just for the fun of it.

Let's flip the switch to a few years ago and the Dallas Cowboys have number 1 pick. Our coach at the time, Bill Parcells, is drafting for us.


With the first pick of the 2006 NFL draft the Dallas Cowboys select Mario Williams. Hind sight is 20-20 but I know 95 percent of Cowboy fans would of been majorily upset. Parcells has been quoted many of times saying he would had taken Williams. At the time Reggie Bush was the next Micheal Jordan of football and we take the Dend. In addition to that after their two rookie years I know most in here would have been exploding. Personally, Im not even a Texan fan but I felt sorry for their fans that day. Reggie Bush might had been the most hyped player coming out of college in some time. The Texans were made fun of for about a year and a half until Mario came on. Whats your opinion?

well the way i look at it was, mario will give u couple of big plays here and there, but how can u pass on a running back of bush's caliber, for example whats the best mario can do ? get a sack, or force a fumble, how often does that happen ? now in the other hand, bush can break for a TD, get first downs, more options to make a bigger impact on the game...

If we had that pick and took Bush, and now have Barber. With that RB tandem, we could also use Bush as a KR & PR.
