Reggie Bush = laterally superior

Demarco Murray = laterally inferior

first round vs third round pick. apples to apples

 

[GOLDENCHILD1688]

wasn't Felix drafted to do some of those same positives?

ummm...I've been defending the selection, but even I'm not going this far. Good blocker, great receiver, tremendous speed, but he hasn't got 2% of Bush's elusiveness.

This pick makes absolutely 0 sense to me. He's not going to replace Barber, and Choice isn't really a power back. So idk the thought process here.

[Nightman]

What do you think is easier to find? A slasher with great hands and sub 4.4 speed or a bruiser to pick up the short yards a few times a game. I say get rid of Barber and Choice and find a bruiser off the scrap heap that can also help on special teams.

I'm gonna say that I'm liking the potential of this guy a little more, all of a sudden, and lowering my excitement about Carter. I like the Carer pick, but I'm not as blown away (from his tape and production) as others seem to be.

 

[Da Hammer]

So I guess we assume that Barber is gone. But now we have both Felix Jones and Demarco Murray to fill the same role as the speedy RB. We have Dez Bryant who is a beast punt returner, so why would you replace him with Murray? Murray I believe very rarely returned punts in college. So basically we used a 3rd round pick for a good kick returner? Anyone want to explain Jerry's logic to me?

3rd down back plain and simple.

 

[TD-33]

Exactly like Bush; just not as fast, doesn't have the burst and well doesn't have the elusiveness but otherwise identical. sort of.

 

[jchap]

Except for that Reggie Bush was electric and unstoppable in college while Murray was just a good player.
