This is already starting to become one of the more interesting drafts in recent history and we've not even finished '05 yet.
The funny thing is the Texans also assured Vince Young he would be the first pick. Just joking of course but I don't see anything binding the Texans to have to pick Bush if they get a ridiculously nice trade package offered to them. Of course Bush could get drafted first and then traded ala Manning for Rivers and a mass number of picks.
