2006 Live DRAFT Thread

It could happen. I don't think N.O. wants to go lower than 5 and I think they really want to dump that pick.

[Kiwon]

OK the deal is Bush for #5 (+Walker)
Rumor from JSO:

Confirmed by New Orleans Media guy who is in contact with Saints front office.

Two problems are holding it up from being announced;

1. Bush contract demends
2. Walker contract demands for an extension

The Saints don't want to tie up 1/3 their salary on two backs. They really don't need Bush, and the $ is a big deal. The Jets have no interest, only the Lions have inquired, but that is for Vince Young. The Packers working out a deal with Bush shouldn't be an issue so it really comes down to Walker working out an extension first.

This whole trading up thing isn't going to happen, nor should it. We will have our pick of Davis and Hawk (hopefully) GULP!

Is it your gut feel that Green Bay or the Saints would refuse to pull the trigger? If I'm NO I'd do that trade in a second.

Sadly, I'm saying the same thing. I never thought GB would pull a trade like this, but NO has to like it. Although I don't think it meets the "3 1st round picks" that they've been demanding from other teams.

[RashanGary]

I don't mean to be a prick but even though Rastak is a good guy I feel like an enemy is in the room every time he speaks....

You can just feel him hoping for the worste and it's annoying.

I'm a little torn. I think Reggie might be worth it, but I can't help feeling we could have traded up to the number 1 pick for less just a few days ago.

ZOMG COUNTDOWN CLOCK GO FASTER PLZKTHX

[swede]

You think Walker and his family is a pain in the ass? Bush's family jeopardized his whole collegiate career by taking a house free from slimy "marketing group". They will be a royal entourage-size headache his whole career. He is going to want more than Mario or he won't sign anyway.

No way do I want a spoiled f*cker like this as a Packer. And to give up picks in this draft is lunacy.

[imscott72]

Multiple sources with the team are now saying the deal is done or very close to being done.

I highly doubt N.O. wants Reggie Bush....He is incredible but he has no place in N.O.

[hurleyfan]

Wow!

THIS DEAL IS NOT HAPPENING; THE SAINTS WANTED TWO EXTRA #1'S FOR BUSH; WHY WOULD THEY TAKE WALKER AND A THIRD ?

[swede]

If this is true I'm going to be ticked off all pre-season.

5' 9" that sucked shit in the biggest game of his career.

[No Mo Moss]

I will believe this when I actually see Bush presented with a Green and Gold jersey at Radio City. After hearing this rumor repeated over and over and over, and me saying over over and over it will never happen, either I will eat crow or this will not happen. Probably won't happen.

I can't say if it is, or isn't happening. I'm just forwarding juicy rumors. Do with them what you will.

What the Saints say the want, and what they'll actually take may be two entirely different packages.

Please let this deal fall apart.
