<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The only thing standing in the way of Bush heading to Houston is a potential trade between the Texans and Jets. Multiple sources have told me the Jets are aggressively seeking a deal that would catapult them to the top of the draft board to bring Bush to New York. Referring back to the Trade Value Chart, such a deal for the first overall pick (worth 3,000 points) would cost Jets something similar to the following:? Pick No. 4 (1,800)? Pick No. 29 (640)? Pick No. 35 (550)? Pick No. 103 (88)As it stands right now, the Jets own seven of the draft's first 117 selections, giving them the ammunition to make this kind of blockbuster move. If they made the deal with the Texans for Bush, the Jets would be left with three of those picks (71, 97, 117) in the first four rounds.While Bush is unquestionably the best prospect in this year's draft, it would still be understandable if the Texans opted to make such a deal. General manager Charlie Casserly must assess Bush's value as compared to those four picks, which could land his team a quartet of prospects similar to the following:? Pick No. 4: Virginia OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson? Pick No. 29: Ohio State DC Ashton Youboty? Pick No. 35: Penn State DE Tamba Hali? Pick No. 103: Virginia Tech OLB James AndersonWhen considering the Texans' glaring needs along the offensive line and on defense, it would be difficult to chose Bush over those four prospects -- especially with RB Dominic Davis already in house.Regardless, Bush will be the first prospect called to the podium next Saturday.</div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Jets standing pat?<Apr. 21> Despite talk about the Jets possibly trying to move up from their current No. 4 slot in the first round, the team doesn't appear to have any such designs, no matter what transpires ahead of them, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports.The team's new football operation, headed by general manager Mike Tannenbaum and coach Eric Mangini, has determined the price of doing business to move up even a slot or two is simply prohibitive. Plus the Jets feel that, no matter how the first three choices play out, they will get an excellent pick at No. 4.Furthermore, don't bet on that choice being a quarterback, no matter which of the "Big Three" passers is still on the board. The Jets' brass has done an extensive study of quarterbacks taken in the top five and found the failure rate to be fairly alarming. Some player like D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Mario Williams, Vernon Davis or A.J. Hawk is going to fall into New York's lap.</div>Thank god, even though id love to have seen Reggie here.
You guys have a running back so they made the right choice of not trying to bring bush to New York...

There is no o-line anymore and quite frankly Martin is getting too old.
I think I would rather have four players with potential, over Reggie Bush. I wouldn't take such a risk, and give up that many picks...just doesn't make much sense.
Bush isnt going to be a bust man....Worst Case Scenario with him is he doesnt have the durability for 300 plus carries so he ends up getting about 250 carries a year + 50-60 receptions and we have a backup RB get another 150 carries or so IMO.
wouldnt be ironic if Lendale white busts with his first team, then goes to Bush's team and they play together, just like in college?

Yeah that's what I said. It'd be awesome.They know how to complement each other and stuff. Trade Dominick for a pick.
