If you were a GM where would you draft him?

Tricky question. Depends on how healthy he is. His agent apparently sent a DVD to all 32 teams showcasing how healthy he is and people were impressed it.

Late 2nd/Early 3rd.

Mid 2nd.

If Willis McGahee can come back from having his knee basically turned backwards, then Bush, who is bigger/stronger/faster to start with, should be given the benefit of the doubt of recovery as well. Just don't count on him doing a lot as a rookie. I'd still take him anywhere in the 2nd half of Day 1.

A lot of people haven't really seen him much, but picture Jamal Lewis with better acceleration and that's the most apt comparison for Bush, great downhill runner with surprisingly quick feet and a little breakaway ability. I think the injury will rob him of some of that quickness and burst, but if a sloth like Reuben Droughns can put up 1000+ behind a below-average Browns line, there's no reason Bush won't be able to do that in 2008 and beyond.

I like his recieving ability personally.

How many power backs can also be a threat catching passes?

I would object if the Lions took him with the 34th pick, only because I know we could draft him later. In reality he's 1st round talent but I don't expect him to get picked in the top 50 picks. That being said, no way he falls out of the 1st day.
Lions don't need him regardless for they have Jones, Bell, and Duckett.

I wouldn't want to draft him as the Saints.....

I mean besides the obvious, Stecker is good, and that Jamal Branch kid seems to play well with every chance he gets.

Yeah I hope he ends up a Falcon today, and with Petrino the new coach, I'd say there's a pretty good chance that happens.

3rd round, pick 11th for the Atlanta Falcons.

I shake when I say this, but if we need to use the 2nd round, 12th overall pick on him.

3rd round assuming he makes it. He could end up a real steal in this draft

Well the Falcons passed on him in the third.

I hope he falls to us in the 4th tomorrow, but its unlikely.

I really wanted him in the third.

I'm still waiting for us to snatch him up, so hopefully he's there, and we make the right decision.
