Good first round for the Saints. With the selection of Ingram, the writing is on the wall for Reggie Bush.

Why so? Bush is not an every down back. This won't affect his role one bit

Bush's contract is massive for what he brings to the table. I think a lot of folks expect him to be out once things return to the normal in the NFL.

I'm not going as far as Scavs, but NFC North quarterbacks should be getting hit a lot over the next few seasons.

Ponder was just a pathetic pick for the Vikings, especially when one considers they probably could have had him in round two.

That's what I was thinking. Only thing I could think of is that they panicked after 3 QB's were gone early.

Bush is not dependable. He is injured too often, and when he is in the game, he makes more than his fair share of mistakes, especially considering how well he is paid. The Saints can function just as well with Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory in the backfield.

Bush is apparently not very happy with the selection of Ingram. He tweeted last night. "it's been fun New Orleans."

Gotta love Twitter. You can put your foot in your mouth in nanoseconds.. Twitter and alcohol are a deadly combination for celebs.

It's funny, remember how much crap the Texans took for passing on him?

Roddy White's tweets didn't make him sound too happy about the Falcons mortgaging the draft for Julio Jones, either.

I think you guys got a steal with that Temple guy. He will be a beast under Rex. I'm kinda jealous eventhough I'm thrilled with the Eagles pick. We needed O-line help more than any other position. CB is a close second but hopefully we get somebody good in FA.

Yeah, I hope so. I wanted a more traditional pass rusher, but a close second for me was getting younger on the DL. Rex can line Wilkerson up all over. He's a little raw, but he's got the potential to be a beast. Would love to see us trade back into the second round to snag Ayers or Reed or Moch.
