Green Bay is drooling over Lendale White. White will not go first, though he probably ought to. Bush will go first.

Every mock I have seen has AJ Hawk going to the Pack. LenDale is essentially a Steeler already too.

Even if the Bush/Sayers comparison is only marginal, there is not a GM alive who wouldn't want him. Jim Brown, Gale Sayers and B Sanders. These are the best RBs of all time on talent. LenDale White should prove to be a very good NFL back but it would be foolhardy to not look at the economics of picking Bush. Draft on relative value, not perceived need.

The Gale Sayers comparison is this: world class speed AND the ability to stop on a dime. The Texans are fools to pick him instead of gaining extra picks and picking Ferguson who can become a Walter Jones-type. Personally, Leinert and Young would be ahead of Bush due to their position. Value is this: can you trade down, get extra picks and still get LenDale? Without a doubt. Can you do the same with Bush? Not a chance.

I agree. If a team at the top of the draft wants White instead of Bush, they trade down to get him. They'll pay less for what might be a better back and they also get cash, a player, or another draft pick. And if he is not available, I think it is still a good deal and maybe you could make a trade with whoever picked him before you have to make your pick. It's strange, but not unheard of for a player to be picked and traded in the same draft.

using that reasoning I understand your value view and agree. I also think they should trade down for Ferguson, the question is... how far down can you trade and still get him?
No later than 4. But that could garner a team's #1 pick the following year and additional picks in the draft this year. That is how valuable the #1 pick is this year. There are 2 franchise QBs and Gale Sayers clone.

Lendale and Bush aside, DeAngelo Williams just might be the best back available. He could be another LaDainian.

I am just thrilled at the possibility of the Eagles being able to get Chad Greenway.

Eli and Phillip come to mind.

Is that you Ron? I never saw a response to my Vikings hiring your OC as our head coach.

Yes it is me. I am obsessed with the NFL draft. I never saw your comment about Childress. I really cant give you much. I know he's been atop a lot of peoples' wish lists for some time. But he didn't call the shots in Philly. He certainly can't be worse than Tice. And he should be able to utilize the weapons you guys have.

No QB. McNabb is fine for us. He's deficiencies as a QB are exacerbated by the offense they run. But with that said, they will troll for a backup in FA not use a pick on an heir to McNabb. Who coincidentally will be a nice value pick for fantasy next year. If I were you, I would look at the Cutler guy from Vandy.

What do you dislike about Maroney? Or would you prefer another position or player that may fal there? Cutler could be a good steal.

I think we have enough RB's as it is. Even if we don't bring back Bennett, and Smith gets suspended again. We have Moore, Williams, and Faison. Further, if you think you need a RB then go after one of the free agents.
So then what are you eyeing as a need?

I doubt Lendale will be there when the Steelers pick.
