Drafting Mario is better for winning football games, but not drafting Bush could get Houston burnt to the ground. If Houston drafts a good tackle and interior O-linemen with their 2nd and third round pick they could be much better next season.
They already have a good running back, but it doesn't matter how good the back is if he can't take two steps with the ball without getting smothered by defenders. Bush probably would have put up pretty mediocre stats behind that line. Even if he did put up good stats, does anyone remember Tomlinson in 2002-2003? He was one of the top three backs both those seasons, but the team was still horrible.
Houston is already pretty decent at the offensive skill positions with Davis, Carr, and Johnson. An O-line that can actually block and a defense that can actually stop somebody will do much more towards making Houston into a competitive team then Bush would have.
