Why in the hell would GB take Bush? They have far more pressing needs than at RB.

1. bush is ridiculous
2. bush can play anywhere not just running back
3. bush has the capability to be the type of player in the nfl that forces an opposing team to adjust their entire gameplan just to account for him.
4. the packers "more pressing needs" aren't anything that can be solved by a high draft pick.
5. Bush would be very fun to watch in a Packers uniform

Jorge,

Green Bay has an OK back? Ahman? He's 29, and he's reached 300 carries only twice in his career. He wasn't any good this year, either, and he's not great in pass receiving. He's a below average back.

I normally agree that teams should trade down, but when you have someone as much of an impact maker as Reggie Bush, I don't think you can really make that decision.

What about Gado? Assuming he keeps up his performance through the rest of the season, I would classify him as an OK back. Dude's got 75 yds and a TD against Chicago at Chicago. Given GB's o-line, that's not too shabby.

I still maintain it'd be silly for the Packers to take Bush, although not nearly as silly as the Texans taking him. Both teams would be much better off trading down to get more picks or a couple of veteran players from some team desperate for a RB.

I'm kind of surprised at the reaction here. Didn't I see about 20 people saying in here the other day that football is the most team-oriented sport? Of course, I have a hard time buying into the Bush hype as it applies to the NFL. It's not exactly uncommon for a dominating college player to struggle in the pros. But even if he is every bit as good as everyone thinks he will be in the NFL, he's not going to be effective nor will he win games unless those other needs are addressed.

In closing, while I think the Packers would be better served by trading the pick to improve their other holes, it would make a fair amount of sense to take Bush if Gado bombs, and if they're able to address said holes through free agency and their other draft picks.

But the Texans taking Bush -- that would be a [censored] ridiculous pick.
