was leading candidate for the heisman going into 2006 until he broke his leg in 3rd quarter of their first game......AFTER he had already run for 3 tds in the first half.

if he's still there in second or third round i say snatch him up.

just my opnion. 8)

Bush and Morency would be a good duo.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I've always felt he would be a bad fit for our team. For those that have watched him closely, isn't he more like a Najeh Davenport power back?

[Joemailman]

I think a better fit for the Packers offensive system would be Brandon Jackson of Nebraska. He could possibly last until the Packers pick in the 3rd round.

[b bulldog]

Their builds are ver similiar but Bush has better hands and see's the field better.

[MJZiggy]

My gut still tells me we get WR Williams.

Tums will cure that sick feeling in your stomach.,

[pbmax]

Does he run upright like Najeh was prine to do? Never thought that caused his leg injuries, but I suppose thats a hard call just watching on TV.

[Ballboy]

Bush is a big back, but from what I understand, he runs a fast 40 with break-away speed.

[The_Dude]

Bush isn't really a Sleeper since he will be picked in the 2nd round/first day.

He is a big power back but I prefer Hunt or Wright.

My sleeper pick: Nate Ilaoa RB Hawaii. Big back who is built like a bowling ball. Comes for a pass happy offense and was recruited as a WR so has good hands.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Can you really call a 2nd rd pick a sleeper pick? I would classify a sleeper pick a round 4 or later.

[MJZiggy]

I'd say it's just unexpected...and will perform well in the NFL.

I think that Ilaoa will be good at the NFL level. Dude has some good burst for a big guy.

[Joemailman]

Ilaoa is rated quite low on running back lists. The knock on him is that he does not change direction quickly, which would make him a poor fit for a team using zone blocking. Sporting News does not expect him to be drafted. he is a good receiver, so he will probably latch on with some team. Perhaps as a backup fullback?

Sleeper?

Okay, my sleeper pick in the draft is Calvin Johnson! :P

[HarveyWallbangers]

I have three safeties I like that a team can likely get after round 1: Michael Griffin of Texas, Eric Weddle of Utah, and my deep sleeper Craig Dahl of North Dakota State. Not just because I'm a homer, but I've watched him at NDSU. He was very productive. He's close to 6'2" and 215 pounds. I wasn't sure how fast he was because it's hard to tell, but he ran 4.53 in the 40.

[Partial]

Weddle is awesome. He's gonna be a stud!

Meh, he's a good back, but I don't think he's the right type of back for our scheme..
