Reggie has run for 2 TD's (one called back), is running up the middle better, had more catches in his first 2 years than Bolden, had 4 TD's in one game vs San Fran, singlehandedly kept us in the Vikings game last season and was playing very well until he was hurt, and has to be accounted for at all times by opposing defenses.

No, Reggie has not exploded this year (yet), but neither has Moore. Reggie fumbled....Peterson gave up a TD too last week. Reggie's next run after the fumble was covered and he got about 6 yards up the gut. He has been a very productive player and our O and ST's would be worse off without him.

The draft is not a crystal ball. Let's re-cap:

1(1) Houston MARIO WILLIAMS DE North Carolina State - We have solid DE's
2(2) New Orleans REGGIE BUSH RB USC - Woot!
3(3) Tennessee VINCE YOUNG QB Texas - Um, yeah
4(4) NY Jets D'BRICKASHAW FERGUSON OT Virginia - decent but not Brown
5(5) Green Bay A.J. HAWK LB Ohio State - great LB but so is Vilma
6(6) San Francisco VERNON DAVIS TE Maryland - Just now starting to play
7(7) Oakland MICHAEL HUFF DB Texas
8(8) Buffalo DONTE' WHITNER DB Ohio State
9(9) Detroit ERNIE SIMS LB Florida State
10(10) Arizona MATT LEINART QB USC - He's awesome
11(11) Denver JAY CUTLER QB Vanderbilt - I'll take Brees
12(12) Baltimore HALOTI NGATA DT Oregon - he and Ellis would be nice
13(13) Cleveland KAMERION WIMBLEY DE Florida State
14(14) Philadelphia BRODRICK BUNKLEY DT Florida State
15(15) St. Louis TYE HILL DB Clemson
16(16) Miami JASON ALLEN DB Tennessee
17(17) Minnesota CHAD GREENWAY LB Iowa
18(18) Dallas BOBBY CARPENTER LB Ohio State
19(19) San Diego ANTONIO CROMARTIE DB Florida State - Not a CB
20(20) Kansas City TAMBA HALI DE Penn State
21(21) New England LAURENCE MARONEY RB Minnesota - I'll take Reggie
22(22) San Francisco MANNY LAWSON DE North Carolina State
23(23) Tampa Bay DAVIN JOSEPH OG Oklahoma
24(24) Cincinnati JOHNATHAN JOSEPH DB South Carolina
25(25) Pittsburgh SANTONIO HOLMES WR Ohio State
26(26) Buffalo JOHN MCCARGO DT North Carolina State
27(27) Carolina DEANGELO WILLIAMS RB Memphis
28(28) Jacksonville MARCEDES LEWIS TE UCLA
29(29) NY Jets NICK MANGOLD OC Ohio State
30(30) Indianapolis JOSEPH ADDAI RB LSU
31(31) Seattle KELLY JENNINGS DB Miami (FL)
32(32) NY Giants MATHIAS KIWANUKA DE Boston College

Looking at these picks we did get a winner. We could have got Deangelo or a defensive player, but I don't think we would have been in the NFC Championship without Reggie. The guy catches way too much flak IMO.
