Reggie Bush not a lock for number 1 ?
 
Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports there is now legitimate reason, for the first time, to think that USC RB Reggie Bush is not going to be wind up with the Houston Texans, the team that currently holds the No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick. This does not come from one source or from one team. This comes from multiple sources, from across the league, without any agenda to push. As of Monday, April 17, the Texans had not had any contract discussions with Bush and his representatives. When Bush was in Houston, a certain segment of the organization never introduced itself to the running back. The Texans know they have a dependable running back and kick return man, the two spots Bush fills. A person in the Bush camp said Monday, "Do I have a feeling that Reggie is going to Houston? No, I have a feeling that he's not."

That throws more of a monkey wrench into the draft than the Saints quagmire. All bets are off if Houston decides to trade down. They need o-linemen more than they need another rb. Watch for mushroom cloud.

I could actually see NYJets trading up to #1 to pick Bush. Sure, everyone says they need a QB, but a RB of that caliber doesn't come around often and Curtis Martin isn't getting any younger.

im starting to actually believe reggie could drop to us, but if he does are we forced to take him?

That helps the Saints if Bush falls to number 2. Green Bay and the Jets would be more open to trading with us to get Bush. Bush adds value to the pick and opens up more options. Hell, even San Fran would jump into the picture. That would be great for the Saints if Bush and the QB's were still on the board at 2.

I posed this scenario a while back that IF Bush was there at #2, How can we not draft him?

Deuce has not been healthy in a while, Lewis hasn't been either. A kick Returner and RB of that caliber would be pretty hard to pass up?

I am all for trading the pick and moving down a few to get HAWK, But if Bush is there I say take him.
For all the talk of what our pick is worth, What we could get, what if this, What if that, FORGET it, Take Bush and be HAPPY about it!

I am not opposed to taking Bush either but you have to ask yourself, does he fill a glaring need? No. Duece just got his big payday, and Bennett is the best backup we have had in years. If we couldnt get value for the pick then yes, take him...all i was saying was that if the Saints to move down to take the player they wanted, then the chances of them getting value for that pick goes up significantly if Bush is available.

No he do not fill any glaring needs, but he looks damn good busting 50 an 60 yrds touchdown runs. man you got to take Bush.

Players, just like money, are sometimes fungible. Take Bush, deal Deuce. A 2nd rounder or a top 10 LB would be worth it.

LivnaLieTimay 04-18-2006 03:47 PM

Reg-gie, Reg-gie, Reg-gie. If Bush falls to us we have to take him, too talented to pass up on. He instantly improves our offense and special teams. I would love to see Houston pass on him, we would get ridiculous trade offers or we could draft him. I'm in favor of drafting him since I believe he is one of the best prospects in the last 20 years of the NFL draft.

JimBone 04-18-2006 03:48 PM

I am sure Deuce would be a hot commodity around the league. A 60 million dollar running back coming off a torn ACL. Any takers? He isnt going anywhere.

LongTimeFan 04-18-2006 03:48 PM

Well that changes everything, and no we wouldn't be forced to take him which I'm sure they wouldn't have to twist Benson's arm much in order to take him..

JimBone 04-18-2006 03:54 PM

Smokescreen anyone? This is the same thing as the Saints saying they are interested in Leinart. Reggie Bush goes to Houston without a doubt.

blackwidows 04-18-2006 06:24 PM

Duece is not going anywhere he sighned a contract is 2005 good till 2012.

spkb25 04-18-2006 06:35 PM

well ya know what - we can not let bush go if he ends up with us at number 2. i would take the guy. he seems to be everything you want in a player. do we have more important needs. yes we absolutely do. how though do you a guy like this go. unless your coach isn't ready to use him. i would say that i doubt we pick bush even if he is there. i think the signing of bennett and the fact that deuce has a contract forever makes it unlikely

blackwidows 04-18-2006 06:45 PM

I would not draft Bush when theres other areas of need we have a capable back up for Duece. Offensive line and linebacker should be more of a priority. I would say linebacker more than anything, than draft a DT in the second than, an offensive lineman in the third. I know the Saints don't have a third right now i'm sure that will change soon though.
