1.04 RB Michael Bush (Freaking) OAK
 

Might have been the second best RB on the board before that broken leg.

Bush will never last in the NFL. Standup runners rarely do.

Re: 1.04 RB Michael Bush (Freaking) OAK
 

Bah!! Nice pick. I was hoping he'd drop to my pick...back to the drawing board...maybe first LB should come off board!!:bling

Re: 1.04 RB Michael Bush (Freaking) OAK
 

Funny, I see Bush as a completely wasted pick, in the mold of other highly touted 4th rd busts like Onterrio Smith, maybe not charachter wise, but durability waise, and style wise.

I don't think his skill translate to a decent NFL career. I wouldn't have taken him at my 1.12 pick.

Re: 1.04 RB Michael Bush (Freaking) OAK
 

Obviously I disagree, but there are also no other players worth 1.4 at that point. There is a plethora of wideouts, but no one that jumps out as a quality pick for us after Calvin and no one has made any offers of any sort for the pick, so we went with it.


Outside of Bush's obvious existing injury issues, I don't think he's much more prone to injuries than the next guy. Yes upright runners generally have shorter careers, but it would be the height of folley to assume a guy can't give you 5 good years just because he has an upright running style.

Did you just drop "folley" on us? I thought Smithy was the only proper English gent around here...

Re: 1.04 RB Michael Bush (Freaking) OAK
 

Smithy remains the only proper English gent, since, in American fashion, pacificscrub spelled "folley" wrong.

Re: 1.04 RB Michael Bush (Freaking) OAK
 

I've told you before, I have no tolerance for people who can't differentiate between Scottish, British and English.

However, I would have at least spelt "folly" correctly

Re: 1.04 RB Michael Bush (Freaking) OAK
 

Isn't that the reason we left there in the first place, a tolerance thing? :armed

I'm 1/4 English, and in true English arrogance, you're all English to me.

I thought it was all the minced meat pie and grilled lamb with mint jelly.

Re: 1.04 RB Michael Bush (Freaking) OAK
 

lol That's what I get for going English on everyone.

Re: 1.04 RB Michael Bush (Freaking) OAK
 

ND, you're the first person I've come across who has owned up to being part English, usually its Englishmen telling me they are 1/8 Scottish or have a Welsh granny, yada, yada yada

Us Irish would have ruled the world by now...had God not invented whiskey

God didn't invent whisky, the Scots did
