No matter how fast he runs or how far he jumps, he would still be a reach in the first I think.

I'm a SPARQ whore and just can't help it. I know it's stupid but man, gimme an athlete with a coaching staff and there's something I would be willing to work with.
The problem with the 'reach' analysis is the same as it ever was, especially in the late 1st. You can't extract the kind of price for that pick that I'd need to give it up AND you're not going to have Bush in the late 2nd in all likelihood. So if you want him, you can either get some piddly as 4th round pick to trade back (and risk losing him still) or take him in the 1st.
And if that's the guy you truly think best fits your team at that time, then there's no such thing as a reach.
I still don't think I'd do it.
