If Williams is as good as his pre-draft hype, a la the comparisons to Reggie White, I can see the Texans making this move.
People have questions about Bush. It's been said he doesn't have the strength to carry the ball 20 times at the next level, and the Texans already have a pretty good running back in Davis.
I'm not as shocked as most people.

Even if the Texans don't want Bush and don't want to pay for him, they have to either trade down, or draft him and then trade him to a team that is willing to pay through the nose for him (a la the Giants-Chargers trade). Williams is benefitting from the Bush backlash, he's good, but he's not going to be Reggie White.
