Who is the best NFL PLAYER overall ? Who will Reggie Bush go to in the draft?

I would honestly have to say LaDanian Tomlinson. He does everything for the Chargers, and now will have to do even more for them to be successful. He catches passes, runs the ball through an average offensive line. He makes plays that he really shouldnt be able to make, especially with the team he is on. He is the reason why Drew Brees was so successful in SD, because whenever Drew Brees got in trouble he dumped it off to Tomlinson who was almost as dependable as a reciever as he was a RB. LaDanian Tomlinson can do it all. Sure Peyton Manning is good, and so is Tom Brady. But for Manning look at his team the last 3 years...Harrison, Wayne, Edgerrin James (who has recently departed to Arizona). With guys like that it is hard not to be successful. Tom Brady has a lot to do with personel, and the system that Belichick runs in NE. I would definately say that Laanian Tomlinson is the best player in the NFL due to the fact that he does everything you can think of...runs, catches, blocks well for a RB, and leads his team to wins that anybody would not be able to lead them to.\n\n\nReggie Bush will end up with the Houston Texans. I know there has been some weird thoughts now about him goin somewhere else due to the whole "house scandal", but if the Texans are smart they will take him. He provides them with everything they need except for defense. He can return kicks, punts, he can run the ball from the backfield, he can line up as a reciever, he can run trick plays due to his speed, acceleration, and agility. For as bad as theTexans have been defensively, he would hit more than one area, which is exactly what they need.

Troy Smith, as of right now, is probably not even worth a 2nd-round pick.  His football IQ is in question, his deep-ball his sketchy and his height is obviously a major question mark.  It's ridiculous hearing that he should be in the 1st round, let alone #1 check any draft website and find that out.\n\nI'm going to say that Joe Thomas is the best OLiner but I think that OAK still ends out being the #1 pick as I think ARZ will win a few worthless games.\n\nBrady Quinn, though, is the top prospect and if OAK does indeed get the #1 pick expect either him or the great WR from Ga Tech, Calvin Johnson.  Don't forget about Adrian Peterson either.\n\nAlso, McFadden is a SOPH.

Yes Reggie Bush is a great player and will be a top running back very soon, but they already got their running back with Davis.  Yes Davis isn't as good as Bush but whats the point of drafting and having two good running backs.  They need help on the Defense and Offense line, that's why they went with Williams, he will help them out alot.  If they would have went with Bush they would have had to pay alot more money for Bush with the number one pick than with Williams at number one, so that could be another reason.  I don't really agree with what they did, but they would have had to try and trade Bush or Davis away, which would have been hard to do

I do, actually thats why I posted earlier on who would be the best pick in this draft.  Of course I picked a blue chip.  But no1 knows this guy at ALL.  People listen to the media more than anything. And Im reading these answers and they really aren't backing their stuff up!  Williams never had the spotlight in his 4 years at Memphis (Hello its Memphis, not USC with Leinart and NFL Talents especially on the OFFENSIVE LINE).  He can run the ball 50 times a game, run for 2000 yards, durable, power yet with shifty moves.  I compare him to an Edgerrin James, Shaun Alexander kind of back.  Memphis passing offense stunk yet Williams helped them pull through a couple of games against some good teams.  Of Course Bush will get the spotlight, and he deserves it too but as for the NFL i think durability is a much bigger factor than returning kickoffs and punt returns for tds (which is a lot more rare in the NFL).  Bush also split carries with LenDale White.  Not saying hes a bad runner, but I compare bush to Brian Westbrook of the eagles.  And westbrook is not an in between runner.  Ok I could go on. LOL but I think its a definate possibility that Williams could be better.  But If you really want the best player in the draft i'd put my hopes in Vince Young.

Presuming he enters the draft, I say the 49ers. The Texans may get the first pick, but they already have a decent RB in Domanick Davis. They'd probably trade down and draft Ferguson, the juggernaut offensive lineman. Houston needs protection up front. If that happens, the Niners have no reason not to pick Reggie Bush. I'm sure a lot of fans down there will go crazy if they land him.

I think he'll have a good career.  However, given his size I think he'll have a shorter career than one would hope.  My case study to compare with Reggie would be Gayle Sayers.  Sayers was a speedy, shifty RB in the NFL whose smallish size led him to injury troubles.  Running backs have the shortest career span in the NFL to begin with, and being a smaller back will tend to shorten that career span even more.

The two teams that did the best were Arizona and Houston. Arizona did the best by drafting Matt Leinart and than drafting Deuce Latui, who is also from USC, to guard him. Thanthey twice again found gems at low position. These players were Leonard Pope and Gabe Watson.\n\nHouston (Even with the No. 1 pick) had a great draft, too. They drafted Mario Williams, who I thought was the better choice, over Reggie Bush. This WAS the better choce because they have Domanick Davis at RB, but they are terrible at D. Then got another good defensive player in the second round when they drafted DeMeco Ryans. In the third round, the filled the o-line needs by drafting Chris Spencer at G and Eric Winston at T.\n\nThe team that will benefit the most are the Texans. They filled their needs and now have massivly improved the team.\n\nI think Daniel Manning of the Chicago Bears, drafted 42 overall, will improve and eventually become one of the best CBs in the NFL. As a OSU fan, it's hard for me to say this, but here it comes, Santonio Holmes has reached his peak. He is a good player, but he is just not the type that strikes me as no. 1 or 2 reciever.

I think White should be a solid NFL back. He has pretty good speed considering his size. I think his size will help him greatly in the NFL. I know he had better college numbers than Bush but that was college. I see Bush as a stud who could be a great player in the NFL. But as for White, he will probably end up getting drafted int he late 1st round, and be a goal line/3rd down back. Personally I think he fits in great in a system like that of the Steelers. They love to have big, powerful running backs. Look for him to go there.

Michael Bennett RB Vikings.....4.13.....Once again proves that speed alone does not equal NFL greatness.  The same will be said of Reggie Bush in a few years.

If the Texans dont draft Reggie Bush that would be crazy. He address several positions that they were miserable at last year. He can be a RB, WR, PR, KR. Their special teams were miserable so having him as a returner would great for them. He was an unbelievable RB at USC, without a doubt the greatest college football player I have ever seen in my lifetime which spans almost 21 years. He did everything he could to make a big play, and most of the time he succeeded. He would go just as high as a WR in this draft according to Mel Kiper Jr. I watched him all season long seeing as USC was normally the only team on in Ohio after 10:00pm. Reggie Bush is a phenominal athlete, a great kid, and without a doubt not only what the Texans need to give a true offensive threat at all positions...but he is what every team needs. No matter what team he played for he would be a great player. I mean, the plays he made, I have never seen anythig like. I remember watching that USC-Fresno St. game and seeing him stop on a dime on the sideline and cut it back across the field and saying to myself..."Holy ****, that might be the play of the year." He e is without a doubt, the best college player I have ever seen which means he is the only player worthy of being drafted #1 to the Houston texans\n\n\nNow granted, the Texans offensive line i aweful, but D'Brickashaw Ferguson is not someone you could take with a #1 overall pick, besides the fact most good O-lineman are guys drafted in later round sof the draft. Mario Williams is a great talent at the DE position, but the Texans can draft a guy later in the draft to play D-line. A first pick DE scares me because the last DL to go #1 overall in the draft...Courtney Brown drafted to the Cleveland Browns in the 2001 NFL Draft and he was a miserable player with Cleveland.

Vince Young is great and I think he'll make a splash his rookie year, but more often than not Quarterbacks aren't rushed into the limelight in their first year. A QB is one of your most heavily protected investments in the NFL, and someone like Vince Young or Michael Vick who scrambles a lot will be treated very carefully in his first years to ensure he doesn't get hurt.\nAs much as I hate to say it, because I'm anything but a USC fan, I have to guess it'll be Reggie Bush. He's such a dynamic gamebreaker, and even if he doesn't see a lot of immediate touches at HB he can step in as a WR or return man and show his ability there.\nObviously whoever it is, it will depend on how much playing time they see, how closely protected they are (as many ROTY prospects are often considered a key part, if not the whole, of the franchise's future plans), and whether or not they can stay healthy.

reggie bush wont do nothing in the NFL! in college he only played agaisnt competition that had a good defense and when they played texas in the rose bowl texas had a strong defense and they shut down bush, he had less than 100 rush yards and that isnt against a professional football team that has basically the best football players that are playing the game, all are fast and all are skilled at there position and arent learngin the game they are the best and have made it that far in there career not that many people really make it to the NFL and hey wont be that good! i wont be able to bounce to the outside all the time, the linebackers and defensive players are all getting bigger and faster and bush wont be able to out run all the players any more, bush is overrated just like matt leinart is, young will be the only good quarterback to come from the draft and deangelo williams will have  a better year than bush! bush will only have an ok career

Well lets see Bush is deff the most vauled player. And if you saw him at USC he ran with Lendale white. Most nfl teams neeed two quality runningbacks. Now the saints have 2!! So if deuce got hurt again Bush steps in. Plus Bush reutrns kick off and punts plus if you listen to what people say he can line up in the slot reciever position as well. GREAT PICK FOR THE SAINTS and ALL MADDEN PLAYERS!! LOL Ohh yahh im a bears fan !!! so ou dont think im just a saints fan saying this!!

1. Mario Williams, DE \n2. Reggie Bush, RB\n3. Matt Leinart, QB\n4. D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT\n5. Vernon Davis, TE\n6. AJ Hawk, OLB\n7. Vince Young, QB\n8. Winston Justice, OT\n9. Michael Huff, CB/S\n10. Jay Cutler, QB\n\nLet me defend myself, "for the first time, there is legitimate reason to think that Reggie Bush is not going to be wind up in Houston. As of Monday, the Texans had not had any contract discussions with Bush and his representatives. Yet the Texans have approached defensive end Mario Williams, trying to see if he would be receptive to discussing a deal. But the evidence goes beyond contracts. When Bush was in Houston, a certain segment of the organization never introduced itself to the running back."

My gut (and hopes) tell me the 49ers will get Reggie. Why? It would take too many factors for the Texans to get him:  \n- Houston already has one win and have a chance of getting another vs the Jags who looked terrible against the 49ers on Sunday. \n- Although the 49ers got one of their two wins vs St Louis, the chances of them doing it twice in one season are minimal. \n- Let's say both the Texans and 49ers lose this week. Fast forward to the Bush bowl - the Texans will probably win. They're a better team. The only way the 49ers could lose getting Bush is if they miraculously beat Houston, then it gets handed to the league to determine difficulty of both team's matchups.\n\nShort answer: 49ers have about a 75% chance of getting Bush.
