Reggie Bushwhacked!

I watch about 50 NFL and 20 college games a year plus about 20 postseason games, so I feel I know enough about football to see who the truly talented players are. The fact that the Texans took Mario "and Luigi" Williams over Reggie "don't call me George" Bush is a joke and I really don't think you can even compare the two. Bush is by far the most talented runningback to come out of college since probably Barry Sanders, and he can play multiple positions. The guy is already NFL-ready, he proved himself every game last year and is by far the best player to enter the draft in a while. Williams did not play well in the beginning of the season, and some worry about his work ethic and character, two things no one questions in Bush. This may become one of the worst decisions in draft history, and I hope the Saints find much success with Reggie Bush, and again show why it is so important to be able to draft well in the NFL.

I also think the ridiculous 15 minutes between each pick has to be shortened. That is part of the reason why the NBA draft is so much more popular (well that and the triple breasted suits), and if they can't figure out who they want after a year they are probably going to make a crappy pick anyway and you should save everyone some time and make them do it quicker.

Also, when did the NFL draft become an event rivaling the presidential election? And why were there like 2 months of build up, then it happened, and there was no mention of it again. BEing in Aruba, I didn't get to watch and it was impossible to find out afterward who got picked.
