Saints | Team may just go ahead and select R. Bush

Peter King, of SI.com, reports the New Orleans Saints may pull the second early shocker of the NFL Draft by selecting USC RB Reggie Bush. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis, from his bunker at Saints' headquarters, said he didn't think he would accept any offers for USC RB Reggie Bush prior to the start of the NFL Draft. "He (Bush) is the No. 1 player on our board," Loomis said during a break in staff meetings at the Saints' facility. "He's the No. 1 player on a lot of teams' boards. To be truthful, I don't expect us to be moving the pick." The Saints appear poised to take the most explosive running back to come out of college football in years. Bush would complement incumbent RB Deuce McAllister, who's returning from major knee surgery.

Wow. That's asking an awful lot for trading down just 2-4 spots.

I think the Saints have to tell everyone that they are willing to take Bush else no one will trade up with them.

I think the price tag is two high. I could see maybe the 49ers moving up for their two first rounders, but nothing more. I think the Jets are still in a good position to get one of the players they want without doing any kind of trade in the first round. If the Saints don't bite at Bush, there is a good chance he falls to #4.

I think if they take him, it would be the same kind of deal with Eli...just because you are drafted by a team, does not mean you will finish out the day on that team.

Unfortunately for them, the Saints have proven that it's a bad idea to trade a bunch of draft picks for the runningback you covet.

Those two offers presented above, if accurate, would never be accepted by the Jets or Niners. Nice try though.

I'm just happy that I traded Deuce for the 1.06 pick in our rookie/veteran draft........

I'd like to say I made the trade because of my vast insight......I thought there was a small chance of Bush ending up in NO, but I didn't really need Deuce, since I have LT2, and am planning on getting DeAngelo, and Bush in the draft....and wanted the 1.06 to try to get VD
