We've got Bush!?
The News
In what would be one of the biggest draft day blockbusters since Mike Ditka traded his entire draft for the rights to select Ricky Williams, the Packers are reportedly close to completing a deal, ironically enough with the Saints, to move up to the second overall pick. That, of course, would enable them to draft Reggie Bush. This trade has not been officially confirmed, nor has it apparently been finalized. But WTMJ Radio in Milwaukee is reporting that, in the deal on the table, the Packers would send their first rounder (the fifth pick in this year's draft) plus a third round pick and Pro Bowl wide receiver Javon Walker to the Saints.
Our View
We don't know quite how to put this, but this is kind of a big deal. Packers' fans will be running around their houses high-fiving inanimate objects and Brett Favre will have his offseason "statement" move if this comes to fruition. Assuming it does, the Packers are clearly better off with the explosive Bush on the Tundra than the collection of injury-prone backs they currently have on the roster. It will be interesting to see what they do with Ahman Green, Najeh Davenport, and Samkon Gado. There's not room for all of them. As for the Saints, this would be the best scenario because they already have a good running back in Deuce McAllister. Now they would get a bona fide stud (assuming he is recovered from last year's ACL injury) to go with Joe Horn and catch passes from Drew Brees. Plus, they only move down a couple spots and can still get a guy like A.J. Hawk to buttress their defense.

Too bad we can't package Green or Gado in this deal instead of our 3rd..

Why not the Davenpooper?

They wouldn't bite on Poop..Gado prob more than Green..

I don't like the Vikes, but I respect them. Gotta respect your enemy.

tyler

Well, I'll have a lot more respect for them if they ever win a Superbowl.

Sadly it will never happen...the football gods hate them.

I'd do that deal in a minute if I were NO.

I wonder what the Jets are offering...surely not a pro bowler and a 3.

Probably their 2 1st rounders this year and their 1st rounder next year...

Is anybody hearing this bullshit from Leinart?

We're out here at the Today show...freezing our butts off...it's about 30-35 degrees out

UGH, just watched it!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

so if walker is traded, who is good enough to replace him? I say trade the rest of the packers picks for Randy Moss.

The guys got sleep issues - how many times did he say, "I'm tired"?

I know...I just want to get rid of Davenport...no team in their right mind would bite on someone with his injury history

You're the Viking version of Wist. It's time for you to come join us as a Packer fan.

[Kiwon]

Deal's off with NO.

Sure Green is a pro bowler, but also very injury prone. We really don't know how is injury is going to turn out this year. I'd rather unload him than our 3. Sounds like its a moot point anyway now.

[Partial]

I don't want them to trade up. I want them to stay put and take Hawk if he's there. If he's not, trade down and get Huff. That would really, really suck though. Sorry about the late start today men, i had quite the night

Not really, every year I'm confident they will get there, I just never think they'll win it!

Wist thinks the team will be sub 500 all the time......

[HarveyWallbangers]

What the f*ck is going on with the colors. I can't read links or anything. I can barely read the posts.

[Bretsky]

Deal's off with NO.

Heck we don't even know if there ever was a deal; but I don't believe NO wants to keep Bush.

If he comes to GB I've already patented the presidency for the

"Bush lovin club "
