If Russell and Bush turns out to be success stories then that draft will be ok

Thanks 40...

Still just baffles my mind about Moses... Not that we cut him, but that we fuucking drafted the guy in the first place..

Whatever, let's hope they turn it around with next year's draft, 'cause we're gonna need all the help we can get..

So far not so so good. Russell can help that as well as Bush.

So far Zach Miller has been our best draft pick in that class and I wanted him and I'm glad we have him

There is also a wild card in Michael Bush, a fourth-round selection from Louisville (No. 100 overall) who is expected to be placed on the 53-man roster soon. Bush was considered a first-round talent before losing his final college season to a broken leg.

He is running with the scout team now, and taking note of the jump in talent level.

``I ran a toss play today like I did in college, and I'm used to getting to the corner and having no one there,'' Bush said. ``Here there were two people waiting for me.''

That is why you lower your shoulder and take all 250 lbs to plow right through them Michael!!!

Richardson has been good too. Miller has allowed some sacks but overall he's doing a good job as well.

Yea but you can't always depend on your TE to block one on one against DEs like Miller does most of the time.

I know that he is better than Courney Anderson I'll tell you that

Oh hell yea.

Nothing new. Really dissapointing draft so far and next year better be much better. Russel is obviously the xfactor though.

[HOFBoundBrown]

Miller has been really good. He hasn't been put in position to be a reciever. I would like someone to look his way a little more. He has only had one drop that I have watched this year and one holding penalty. Richardson is a keeper. We did not draft players like Russell and Bush to make an impact over the first 8 games, we drafted them to make an impact the next 8 years.

Last years draft is all about Russell. If he's a a success I'll be happy even if rounds 2-7 are all busts. I still wish we would have done more to boost the O-line...
