Brian… Will you be establishing a Rumblings on-line bracket competition, like on Yahoo! or something similar… We need something since OBD has decided that free agency is an over-rated method for filling out a roster ;-)

Why would we get a 1st rounder for Marshawn and a 5th ?

Marshawn is at best a late 3rd at this point. So a late 3rd and our early 5th don’t go close to making a 1st. We’d be lucky to move into the late 2nd for that package – sorry to burst your bubble.

Wasn’t really a bust – he’s a game changer – just drafted too high at #2. If he was a mid first rounder he’s no bust.

So is a Reggie Bush clone at #9 a bust ? That’s the question. I think we have bigger needs – but he would not be the worst pick in (Bills) history (That goes to Mike Williams or Erik Flowers – hopefully forever !)

Name two players on Barry Sanders line?

Sometimes a great RB can make the line, and over time an average to slightly above average line taht evolves around the back, will seem like the greatest

to Rumblings.

It’s a good point – however at #9 there is very likely still a top player at a position of need. QB, OT, MLB, WR etc etc

Surely a Clausen, Bradford, McClain, Dez Bryant, Okung, Davis, (or a couple of other OT’s) is still there with similar value and more positional need.

I could understand if we traded down to 15 or that area and he was still there – then maybe his value outweighs the guys at the need positions – I just dont see how the top guys at our need positions are all gone by #9. If they are then someone like Eric Berry is also likely still there – then you have ammunition to trade down.

Spiller could be special, but just don’t see how he could be supreme value at #9 compared to other guys there.

Suh, Bradford, Clausen, McCoy, Davis, Okung, Berry, Bulaga are gone then wouldn’t Dez Dryant make more sense ? or McClain ? Both are bigger needs and one could argue they are similarly gifted for their positions.

Well that made my day

But there is more to speed than a 40 time – elusiveness and moves are a part of that.

Don’t see anyone going for Best at #9 – so why Spiller ? McCluster has the moves of Spiller (but not the 40 time) and he could be gotten in the 3rd – oh yeah he returns kicks too – and has played WR.

I just don’t see RB being worthy of the 9th spot for us. I’ve said this before – but " Early 1st round RB’s are for the team that already has everything" We are not in that category. If there is a position where you can get a starter (and a good one) after round 1 EVERY YEAR – it’s RB.

And I’ll say it again. He’s same speed, and size. Spiller can catch and K/R, making him more versatile.

It’s how fast you run in pads and away from the other guys in pads that matters most. I’ve often felt they should time these guys in full uniforms to get an idea how they truly perform.

There are plenty of reasons to take C.J. Spiller with their top pick. The biggest being how awesomely talented he appears to be.
