I agree and put Brick over Bush ONLY because Bush is not going to be a full time RB.
I agree on the honorable mention with D Williams.
I would add RB Maroney also. This guy is a haus.
I disagree with the sleeper picks. Avant never convinced me of anything and I'm naturally skeptical of Michigan WRs. I exchange him for WRs Maurice Stovall and Travis Wilson and maybe even Szamardja (seems like another Jerevicious). I also like Maurice Drew although he's not really a full time RB. Could be a bigtime KR. Kid is really talented, kind of like Sproles last year.

If you're calling Young a bust, might as well put Leinart there, because you can be sure he won't be surrounded by all the offensive weapons USC had.

You might even be able to put Reggie Bush there, he doesn't play every down. Against UT, he was shut down, opening the door for LenDale White. The UT defense is the type of defense Reggie will be playing against in the NFL.

so...

BUST:
Matt Leinart (QB)
Reggie Bush (RB)

Aw man, Hos, I was going to shock the world by listing Cutler at #5 (I've seen everything I need to see this weekend), and you have to get all crazy right ahead of me. :D

Bush doesn't do it for ya?
I'm not convinced he can be an every down back. I think it is better to wait on RBs. I think Houston with no OL is going to be harder for him to acclimate than people think.

I'm already out on a limb that he will be the best QB in this group. Might as well stay out there.

1. Vince Young. He can run and jump with the WRs, lift weights with the running backs and thorw with the best of his own position as his 64 yard heave at the NFL Skills comp proved.

2. D'Brickashaw Ferguson. Man Child with rare ability to get even bigger while maintaining athleticism.

3. LenDale White. The thunder in USC's backfield was the guy getting the key first downs and scoring more TDs.

4. Matt Lienart. Limited upside but a polished product who could be a very solid QB in the league.

5. Mario Williams. Best pure pass rusher with Peppers like physique and athleticism.

Overrated: Reggie Bush. Bush has NFL skills but he was smaller than reported as I knew he would be and has never handled the load of a full time starter much less doing so in a 16 game season. To make matters worse it looks like he'll be drafted very high bya team with a weak OL. I think he's a Dante Hall type player and could be great in a system like KC... but he's not a can't miss any system type back you build a team around.

Underrated: Taurean Henderson. He's actually a similar guy to Bush. Not quite as slippery but he has more proven every down ability. Probably should be a low 1st and he'll slide way past.

Best future Cowboys: Bobby Carpenter. Size and toughness are needed opposite Ware. Johnathon Scott. Dallasite is a big-bodied, experienced pass blocker with proper round 2 price tag. Best player on NCAA's 2nd best OL.
