Reggie Bush is not the type of between-the-tackles workhorse back that a team can build around. Bush is more of a deluxe change-of-pace back: a nice addition for a team that has everything except for that little extra "something".

Not the sexy pick, but the logical, well-reasoned pick that I do not think that Texas will regret in the long term.
