I think Lendale White will have a bigger impact than Reggie Bush next year. I don't think Barber has any special qualities that will wow you and JJ hasn't showed that he can play an entire season but he can wow you. So I don't adding him would be that much of a stretch.
I am also skeptical about Reggie Bush an his smallish frame, but then again, I remember what an impact TB's rb (forgot his name) was to them last year and they were saying all the same things about him prior to the draft. So, that will just be one of those wait and see type situations.
And L. White MIGHT have a greater impact depending on what team he goes to. Of course, if he is on the bench behind a star RB, then he won't make much of an impact or a similiar impact to the backup rbs drafted for the Giants and Eagles. He sure didn't start things out right though coming in to the pro day or combine out of shape and lackadaisical. With that attitude, it sure won't open up BP eyes in wanting him on the team.
Nevertheless, again, there are more pressing issues then needing a rb in the first round. Again, OL, FS, OLB, and WR are more pressing then a rb.
Yes, JJ has the Wow factor and Barber may not to some, but they both get the job done in scoring when they need to. I don't need a wow factor if you are an effective rb. And don't forget Thompson who is also an exceptional rb talent.
Not to mention, it is harder to defend two effective rbs, the just one that teams can focus on. Gives the opposition NO break!
