Who was the last runningback to come out with this much hype,I can't think of one. I don't think he can play up to the hype. I think in a few years he may became a pro bowl back and lead the league in rushing, but he will need everything to go right. I mean a above avg Oline and a QB that can take the pressure off the running game. I don't think Carr is that QB. But with all the sh#t I just said, I would still draft him.

I think you gotta point a finger at the NFL machine for such over hype. The difference between a top 5 pick and the rest of the first round can be tens of millions of dollars. If I'm Bush I hire a P R guy before an agent! In reality any of the top 5 worth that kind of jack to teams that are gonna struggle even with maybe even two 1st round picks? You bet they are! If the Texans take Bush he alone will put fans in the seats regardless of his playing time. He also will be the potential X factor which at least for a while might open up the field to a team that needs another option to help it score and win games. Unless he really breaks thru and sets records ect ect he will be considered a "bust" but compared to the hype its a foregone conclusion that its gonna play out that way...
