What's the impact of picking and keeping Bush?

I was out all evening so I'm just getting the news. I am hoping the Jets realize that it's more important to have Bush succeed Curtis Martin than it is for them to keep the #71 pick. The Saints can do a lot of damage with 4 picks in the 1st 71 including 3 in the 1st 34.

But let's presume that the Jets and the others are going to think that dealings with the Saints is business as usual i.e. pitch a lowball offer and wait for us to capitulate because as I heard quoted in Atlanta Sports Radio this week "Benson is cheap." What happens then?

Well the only logical choice is to pick Bush #2 because frankly at this point he's the only player that worthy of the pick.

Now what?

The Saints have clear needs at LB, Center, tackle, defensive tackle, and in the secondary. Wtihout the extra picks, most of those needs will not be filled.

So what's you opinion of the impact on the team by picking Bush? I know we may have to do it. But I wonder how it'll affect this season. How will Bush be used? How will holes be filled? Will Bush put butts in the seats?

What a day, what a day!
