Take Reggie and trade DD for a 2nd or maybe even a 1st to get a good lineman.
What good is a RB without an O-line?
Besides, RBs are always in danger of getting injured. Bush is hardly a guaranteed success. I don't want to blow a chance at a sure-thing great O-lineman like Ferguson because we took the next Ki-Jana Carter instead.
EDIT: We are not going to get a first round pick for DD... wishful thinking there.

Reggie Bush? REGGIE BUSH?! (in Jim Mora's voice).
With some people, I guess it's the Detriot Lions way of doing things: "Hey! Let's get stud WR or stud RB or stud QB and we'll be unstoppable."
Not working out too well for Dee-Troit.
I can't believe that after seeing Carr, DD, and AJ finally click on all cylinders today, with an o line that I think only gave up one sack all day, that there would be some people who are still going to ask for Reggie Bush.
For me, it's either the biggest baddest o lineman (probably D'Brickashaw Ferguson) or it's the biggest baddest defensive player (AJ Hawk, no doubt).
Getting a stud offensive WR/QB/RB (pick whichever you may) is in no shape or fashion going to help this team get better.
We're all stocked up on high-paid QB/WR/RB. If I were spending those millions and millions on a top draft pick, I'm going with either o line or defense, especially at the LB spot where we are so very thin at and always have been.

I like Brickshaw and Hawk and I would be happy with either of them but, a bust can be a lineman or a linebacker (Bosworth) as well as runnig back. Your takin a chance on any pick. Reggie is that kind of back only comes once and awhile(Barry Sanders).

Our Linebacker situation is not as bad as you think, remember Wong is hurt so he'll be back next year, were ok linebacker wise, we need O-line, another playmaker wouldn't be bad (i.e. Bush) secondary needs help. We can patch it together.

Yeah, and Desmond Howard was the next Jerry Rice.
So much hype all year, and he even won the Heisman to top it all off.
He was the messiah.
And now he's...(fart noise, sustained for a long period of time)...nothing.
We need utility players, not flashy dashy one-hit wonders.
Look at Steelers: Ugly picks that just get in the trenches and do their jobs well, and on a consistent basis, helping the few star players rack up the wins.
Look at the Patriots: Same thing as the Steelers.
Those two teams are perrenial favorites for a singular reason: They make the ugly pick in the draft, knowing they already have enough star quality.
Give me a workhorse that doesn't get his name called or his face on the covers of magazines. Give me a utility player that just gets it done with no razzle dazzle.
Reggie's a talent, don't get me wrong. But we would be pulling a Dee-Troit if we go with the sexy pick. Logan Mankins is STARTING for the Patriots, who had the last pick in the draft...a great pick, and we could have had him. Oh, I know...I know...it's always easy to look back and make that pick.
And you are right. The only problem is this: An NFL team looked FORWARD and made that pick with the last pick of the first round.
I know it's shocking. I know. But I promise all of you that we can make the ugly pick (D'Brickashaw or Hawk) and come out a whole lot better off in the long-run without drafting the sexy Reggie Bush.

Wait a second!
You're the same person that had LEINART 06 as your signature.
Now, it's BUSH.
You hopped off that Leinart bandwagon pretty quick.
I guess when Bush began to get all the coverage and the hype, and it drifted away from Leinart, you decided to dance with a different partner.
That's the whole thing about the Reggie Bush backers. So much of it is an attempt to look smart, as if the obvious pick is Reggie Bush, and so because it "looks" like he's going to be the top pick, and it "looks" like the Texans will have the top pick, then by golly it's the smart thing to do and if the Texans don;t do it then you are smart and the Texans are not.
So much of this Reggie Bush politics that's going on right now is just a pure sham. Yes, he's talented. Yes, he will be successful in the NFL. And yes, he'll probably be successful immediately. But no, he's not the primary need of this team. And no, he doesn't play defense. And no, he doesn't keep NFL-sized defensive linemen off your QBs back.
Had the o line and Carr, and his receivers too, jelled all year like they did today...we'd be a whole lot better. Well, we have the chance to get a stud o lineman who can be that o line anchor on the QB's blindside...and all we hear is how Reggie Bush is the savior of the team.
He'll be the savior of some team that has a great o line and needs a star RB, but he won't be the savior of THIS team.
Sexy pick, but he stinks at doing laundry and cooking meals.

I guess we can't win either way. If we want anyone besides Brick, we don't want what's best for the team and we're 'Bush-backers. If we say anything critical of Carr, we're "Carr-bashers." Why in the world, can I not want Reggie Bush for MY football team? It's my team, and for MY team, I want the home run threat. That's MY style of play preference for MY football team. Next thing, we get knocked because we didn't follow Bush in high-school. How in the world can anyone know enough about Brick to say he's our guy? He's been injured the whole season, had a bad game on TV the other day and I don't really think he has a website with his gamefilm for people to breakdown. So to say that we're *****s for wanting Bush but that everyone else has SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE on Brick is ridiculous!!
Has anyone watched Pitts play? How can you say that Brick is now our only choice? Weird!
Also, Kijana Carter = Reggie Bush? You blow your argument with those cracks. I like Dom but he's going to miss 3-4 games a year anyway and this draft is 8 deep at TACKLE alone!
Reggie Bush takes screens to the house? Dom is a nice little player and good to have on a team but his 4.65, chop feet style is fairly easy to replace. Also, I really like the Brick but Ferguson is in NO WAY an Ogden type lock. He may indeed become a GREAT TACKLE but to say that Bush is Kijana is just not intelligent.
Brick may become Pace
Bush may become Faulk
Looks to be a matter of preference. Either way, we certainly don't need to win anymore freaking games! This year, if you're not in the top 4 (Brick, Leinart, Bush, Hawk) well, you're not in good shape for trading down!

Does'nt Bush have to declare he's coming out first ? The use of a third on Morency makes it a little harder to take Bush . Thats even funnier since Wells plays more than he does . Anyone who doubts that Bush is a special talent is not watching what I am . I don't know if I watched a more dominant all around game than the Fresno State game . He 's the most dangerous open field player player thats come around in awhile .

Not questioning the talent, just questioning the fit into what we have.
Without imploding this team, I don't see how we bring in a guy who will want the same ball as AJ and DD. And with all DD has done, in spite of our team's overall ugliness, I don't see how you pass up Ferguson and/or Hawk for something you already have.
We don't have a stud o lineman. We don't have a stud LB.
What is wrong with the ugly pick? Why does it the pick have to be the "obvious" candidate?
Tell that Tom Brady. Tell that to just about the majority of all NFL high-caliber talent who most likely didn't get drafted at #1 or #2 or #3, or even in the first round for that matter.

Oh, there were a lot of us around here knowing how he had protected Carr at Fresno State. But then Vinny was of the opinion he wouldn't help us even though we went on and on about his capablilities and his mean streak. There are a couple of senior O-linemen on the FSU team this year, but I doubt we take a look at them. They are silently good and you probably won't hear much about them. This is the end result of year two when Capers lost his aged defense to injuries and we have not recovered since that time. Most of you don't believe that, but that is the reality of what happened to this ball club. The Captain (Capers) had a ship, but it was sinking and there were no life boats available for the defensive crew.

this team is about to go 1-15 changes are going to be made. When you have the #1 pick you take the best player available. As far as how bush fits on this team, he is a perfect fit, he is a great receiving threat out of the backfield. Defenses arn't exactly stacking the box to stop DD. He is injury prone and doesn't have the speed to get to the outside or take it to the house. Bush would open up the entire offense.

Bush is an incredible talent that would be a great fit with Carr, DD and AJ. I really like what Pitts is doing at LT and think we could grab a solid guard in the second round. However, I do like Hawk as well - but he is not worthy of the overall number one. If that want to trade down a couple of spots to get him, that might work as well.
Trust me, in five years both Bush and Hawk will be studs in the NFL...

Thats the thing with this team ... the only one that seems to be worth a new contract is Pitts . DD is a good player he would be an awesome 2nd back , but he's not a gamebreaker .AJ is a gamebreaker and if you could add a Bush or another threat ... you better have someone who's scheme will use them .

How is it so BLEEDING obvious. There's a reason why we struggle on offense and defenses are free to pin their ears back. Outside of AJ we have no playmakers on offense. Go talk to san diego and talk to them about what a talented rb can do for your team, remember San Diego used to have the worst Oline in the league, than they got LT. Its funny how a good runningback can make your whole team look good. He won the game for them today. We need PLAYMAKERS and when you have the #1 ovrl. pick you take the biggest playmaker to come out in quite awhile, unless someone offers you a unbelievable trade you can't turn down. You don't reach on a player to fill a need, you take a chance on a player that can turn your whole franchise around. We can take a OT in the 2nd.

That's your opinion (which you're entitled to) and it differs from mine. Sorry but I doubt having Tom Brady and Ladanian Tomlinson behind this O-Line would make any difference. You can't expect Pitts to pass block, run block and do everything else that the rest of the team should be doing.
I agree we need a 'playmaker' but I would prefer to have a TE that we can use effectively like a Shockey, Gates or Gonzalez. I just don't see that we need Reggie Bush for that and I'm fine with my choice. You want him, that's fine by me, just don't whine n' moan when he doesn't produce because he doesn't have the O-Line to protect him so he can make the big plays you expect!

the 5 year plan is done, its over and this group of clowns are on their way out.
Another thing its funny how people say Bush wouldn't be able to produce behind this line, but a 4th rounder with no break away speed can...Hmm.
I also wouldn't mind having a TE, but if I had to choose I'll choose a player thats going to atleast get 20 touches a game, not just a handful and could be a factor in both running and passing plays.

How many people would have ripped Favre for doing the same thing against that D of the Rams, probably not a soul. We're only making a big deal out of it here because it's David Carr (who some, not all, just some like to rip on because after all he cost us the game again right) and Reggie Bush is going to be the saviour to this franchise and have a Superbowl victory for us next season

He can be decent against third, fourth, and fifth string corners. Let's sign him up. Sounds like a good quarterback to have.
