I'd say looking back at the draft class you have Ngata and 3 OTs that should've gone top 5 overall with Mario Williams mabye being the 5th. From there, maybe you could make the argument for Reggie Bush starting around pick 6 or so.Yeah, that's how you have to look at it.
Mario Williams went #1 and a very nice career. 5 double digit sack seasons but after that...it basically sucked.
Vince Young
D-Brickashaw Ferguson
A.J. Hawk (pretty solid starter but not special)
Vernon Davis (2x PB and very solid athletic freak but a TE at 2?)
Michael Huff
Donte Whitner
Ernie Sims
Matt Leinart
Jay Cutler
Haloti Hgata --- easily the BEST in this class at #12
Kamerion Wimbley
Brodrick Bunkley
Tye Hill
Jason Hall
Chad Greenway
Bobby Carpenter
This draft class sucked.
the answer is no.
He isnt worth a #2 pick.
Weak draft class doesnt change the question.
Just mean most of the picks would have been a no.
Would the Saints win a superbowl without Bush. Answer is yes.
Bush was basically a part time player realistically.
the question I read on the poll "is Bush worth it.""So what say you? Were the Texans wrong for having passed on Bush? Did the Saints make the right decision?"
That was the question so it does have everything to do with this draft class. There were no other options at the top of that draft class that would have been better than Bush, surprisingly. So for as much as he didn't live up to the hype he was better than most of those top picks.
Now, it is a different question if you say did he live up to the hype of a #2 pick. No, he didn't. I think most would agree with that.

So I'd give the pick a C-. Knowing what I know now, I'd probably take Andrew Whitworth #1 but Ngata certainly wouldn't be a bad pick.
People viewed the draft differently back then for the most part.That's how those players turned out though, were they even projected high. Kinda hard to risk a #2 pick with a guy at #55-Whitworth but I agree with your re-grading Bush would still be around the top 10 but definitely further back.
