NEW YORK (AP) -There is now a clear-cut No. 1 pick in the NFL draft. And it's not Reggie Bush.

New Orleans took advantage, with new coach Sean Payton saying before the start of the draft Saturday that the Saints planned on taking Bush, the Heisman Trophy winner, |

HOUSTON (AP) -The Houston Texans knew Reggie Bush was the popular choice as the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft. In the end, they decided Mario Williams was the right one.
