He reportedly runs a 4.2

If he runs a 4.2 at the combine,does well with his other tests and add that along with his ability to catch passes.You will hear the name Reggie Bush mentioned a lot when talking about him.
so he'll get drafted high and be praised and hyped and be a disappointment?

How is Reggie Bush a disappointment?

He was drafted to be used as a weapon,he has been used as a weapon

New Orleans has a poor offensive line by the way,there O-Line is arguably the worst in the NFL

Reggie Bush has been a disappointment because he was drafted to be a running back, and he has proved that he can't get the job done as their starting running back. He's a glorified decoy. Deuce McAllister is what makes the Saints' offense work.

I don't see the Dorsey thing. He's a big defensive man with health problems b4 he gets drafted, that and he gets beat insideon traps. I'd rather see the phins go offensive line or LB.

I think Dorsey will have lower back problems his whole career. Knee and lower back pains are a couple things that are just hard to shake. Therefore, I don't see Parcells picking him up.

24.TitansQuentin GrovesDE6-3259AuburnSenior The Titans have to find a wide receiver who can help Vince Young develop as a QB. But after losing Antwan Odom and Travis LaBoy, depth at DE is a must. The Titans signed ex-Titan Jevon Kearse for depth, and adding a young pass rusher like Quentin Groves gives the Titans a future star.
Previous mock draft selection: James Hardy

I'd take this

Interesting stat for you:
Chris Johnson hasnt fumbled since his Sophmore Year of High School.
Heard that during the Va Tech game at the start of the year

Hes an absolute stud
He must be if he's going to be a backup to the DE's in Indy. Apparently some fine tuning is in order for this mock draft.

61. Indianapolis Colts - Johnson, Chris, RB East Carolina
Will backup Freeney and Mathis as well as provide relief so they can keep their legs fresh.

Bush at best has been a decoy/gimmick player. Hardly what the Saints paid him all the money for. A back like him isn't going to be a run up the middle guy anyway. His bread and butter should be east and west running where good run blocking is not as critical as with a classic style running back. He was supposed to be so fast that he could achieve this but as many have come to find out everyone in the NFL is fast. Until he gets an offensive line and proves that he can handle running up the middle in the NFL he will be considered by most to be dissappointing to some degree.

Agreed. I figure Bush to be a hyper-talented David Meggett...a punt returner/3rd Down back, who can be used as a gimmick on 1st and 2nd, provided there is talent elsewhere on offense.

I honestly don't think he can be an every down back in the NFL, he just isn't built for it.
