We know Reggie Bush is all that, but whose the next best prospect?

THe best prospect is Marylands Vernon davis, i think he ran a 4.35 at the combive and he's a TE. He's going to be an amzing football player

I'd stick with James Davis and use Reggie on short drives.  Of course we can mix it up with Coleman.  As far as Spiller, I'm pretty sure he will get some playing time, because he was looking for playing early during recruiting time.   Wow, how great is it to have such depth at RB?  It's about time!!

I agree with all the above stated answers to a point.  Bush, Young, and Leinart are all good players and will make an impact for their respective teams soon (hopefully).  But two names that aren't on this list that needs to be recognized are Laurence Maroney and Joseph Addai.  These two are the top rusher's for rookies (I believe) and yes they play for two very good teams and that helps, but part of that is skill.  I think ROY will go to Colston, he leads all rooks in receptions, receiving yards, and total TD's.  Not to mention he plays for a very good Saints team.

I still can't believe they passed on Reggie Bush. I think that   Mario Williams may be just as good of a player but he has some big shoes to fill. The Texans attendance has gotten progressively worse since their first year and they need to sell tickets.  The fans were screaming for Vince Young but over a few months they warmed alittle to the idea of Bush only to not get either.  The QB and RB position have so many more measurable also it makes it very hard for a DE to keep up in popularity.  A QB has passer rating, yards, TD and YDs to be judged by and a RB has rushing yds, catches, tds and YDS/rush. All a DE has is sacks to be measured by.  Even if Mario Williams turns out to be the best DE of his era.  In order to be justified to Texans fans he also has to be better than Bush and Young which is unlikely.

Of course there is a lot of adjustments that teams will be making to their rosters before Sept.  But right now I would say LaDanien Tomlinson, Larry Johnson, Tiki Barber, Shaun Alexander and Carson Palmer (if he's healthy).  1st pick?  Larry Johnson.  I just like the way he runs and he knows how to find the end zone.

Colston, again, keeps putting up insane numbers and if he had a TD; I'd guarantee he'd get it.  \n\nUnforunately, as much as I think he'll be pretty good (not great), politics say that Reggie Bush will win it.  Just because he's the NFL's media darling and they want some type of honor given to him.

Reggie Bush is supposed to be the next Walter Payton. I guess his son is compared to him too.

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.

Bush will still be the number one pick.\nYoung should be picked ahead of Leinart and will both be in the top 15 at least. It all depends on what moves are made before the draft and if Young comes out. Alot of teams need defensive help and offensive help. As for White, he will be a first round pick. He put up decent numbers behing the future number one pick. Doesn't that remind you of last year when the backup was drafted ahead of the starter in last years draft? lol.  He has alot of talent and teams are looking for bruising running backs. THey realize that having a thunder and lightning combo works best. At worst, he will be a early second round pick. Im not real sure on the WRs. I havent looked at who was declaring or are seniors. But in all honesty, it depends on what the team needs and what moves are made before the draft.

I like the Texans pick of Mario Williams. When you only sack the opposing Qb 29 times in 16 games there is something to be said about that. They need a pass rusher for sure. Reggie Bush have never face a defense like any of the ones he will see in the NFC South. Carolina, Tampa, and ATL....come on!!! Then he will have the pressure of being the best athlete in to enter the draft in what was it ten years. Yo Saints....Joe Horn is 34....why not trade the pick to Greenbay for Walker and the #5 pick.

Bush...it's easier to get a power running back then an all purpose yards running back like Reggie Bush.  While White had an exceptional game against Texas in the Rose Bowl, picking him first would be foolish.  You have to look at the whole enchilada when you pick up a RB.  Can my guy make catches? Do I have the offensive line to help make the holes needed for a PowerBack?  Well, the answer for the Texans is not yet.  Their offenisive line(while much improved) still is not good enough to provide the holes large enough for a straightforward power running game.  They need a RB like Bush who can not only run a finesse game, but catch a quick slant or out.  They need more options then just a power game.  The Jets would be more in line to pick up White w/ the 4th pick.  White's good, but not what the Texans need w/ their first pick.  Vince Young will also go before White as well as Leinart.

That has to be one of the most embarrasing moments ever for a rookie. Number 2- Reggie Bush not being picked 1st.

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.

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.

I'd say Reggie. I feel like Young is going to get injured if he runs frequently. I like Vince Young really, but I think it's going to be Bush that gets the 1st overall pick.

The best RB available.
