Re: Reggie Bush prop bet with my friend
[ QUOTE ]
Who wins if the Texans draft Bush but then trade him?
That scenario is just as likely as them trading the pick outright. . .

No, it's not. In fact, it's very unlikely because of the way the rookie salary cap works in the NFL, not to mention the obvious practicality of knowing where you stand heading into the draft. The Giants/Chargers trade for Eli wouldn't have happened that way if Manning hadn't declared that he didn't want to play for San Diego. Because of that, it wasn't a sure thing that the Chargers would take him, and the Giants were sure they could get a deal done after the fact.
As for the OP, you probably have the best of it, but not by much. It's hard to take the beating from journalists and your fan base for passing on a prospect like Bush, but the Texans seem to understand the value of alchemy on draft day (turned a 6th Round pick into a 3rd Round pick via Drew Henson), so I wouldn't be surprised to see them do the smart thing and trade it.
