A Trade down scenario

"no-brainer"
You mean like Tony Mandarich (#2), Brent Fullwood (#4) and Terrell Buckley (#5)? Everyone makes mistakes, and the "experts" can be fooled just like the rest of us.
I think Bush is the real deal, though in playing for the Texans it may be a while before he can shine. Maybe he's like Marshall Faulk and he doesn't truly blossom until he escapes from a bad tesm (the horrible mid-90s Colts situation somewhat like the disarray of the Texans).
I'd rather we keep our pick at five; as much as I am uncomfortable with this, I agree with Christl that the chances of getting a true impact player go down steeply as you go further back in round one.

Exactly what I mean. He is a special player but he could be fragile....was he even a full time back for USC?

I thought he shared time with LenDale.

Yer absolutely right, Zig.

Bush was a spot player at SC.

Pete Carroll has so much talent in that program, he can use all his players perfectly.

With Bush, he put him in situations where he could be in match-ups. When you try to single up Bush, you lose. In Houston, they want Bush to be A DRAWING CARD.

This could get this fine prospect injured early in his pro career and labeled another high pick bust like the others discussed in this thread.

You just explained the theory floating around in my head.
