Why would we even think about a RB in the first round?

Because he's something we lack on offense...a playmaker.

True, but who is he going to run behind? Do you think RB should be our top priority with our 1st round pick?

Maybe they are taking best player available?

We have officially reached the blow it up, build it back up rebuilding phase, and they are going to build this team the way they want it, not alter what was handed to them.

I have to be honest I don't really hate that they are proceeding this way. It is like Nix has said all along, we will build this team through the draft, and it is going to take 2 to 3 years, so while that sucks big time for next year, and the near future, hopefully they do this right. You have to admit, Nix has stuck to everything he has said, offensive minded veteran coach, not spend big in free agency, and build the core of this team in the draft.

He will likely be BPA or tied with Bryant, unless Berry falls.

We have a solid interior OL and remember what Spiller does is more than just running, he can line up the slot, do swing passes, return kicks and punts, etc.

Not that I agree with taking Spiller with so many other holes, but that guy is a true playmaker. He's gonna be a good one.

They could very easily be looking at guys like Desean Jackson and Percy Harvin, and how they have drastically turned those offenses into dynamic threats. I caveat that with that I know they have much fewer holes and better Olines, but just because we don't take an Olineman in the 1st doesn't mean we won't rebuild it, remember, offensive tackle is one of the deeper positions in this draft, and we have shown a proclivity for jumping back in into the first.

My only regret, we are way past it now, is that they didn't take Michael Oher last year. I really wanted them to, and they had every opportunity, but I can't complain about Wood or Byrd, and I think Maybin is going to flourish in the 3-4, so maybe it was okay.

Spiller is a bonafide stud!! I know RB is not something we need, but any and every team needs playmakers, and if we drafted Spiller, I'd be totally cool w/ this move!!

Re: Bills to meet with C.J. Spiller?

There's an insider on another board (similar to Blame Canada here) who claims Lynch is going to get dealt at some point, and Spiller is a dark horse candidate for us. He also mentions Dan Williams as another likely pick, and that we won't take Clausen as we feel he's a fringe first rounder. Additionally, Daniel Jeremiah (a former scout) claims quite a few teams have Spiller as a high first rounder on their boards.

I could see this if we get picks for Lynch and Whitner. We would have more flexibility.

Would love to trade Lynch and pick up Spiller.

Glad to hear we wont take Clausen (If that is true)

That could be the case, or it could just be a pre-draft smoke screen.

Also, while RB is far from our biggest need, we do only have 2 RB's on the roster, so it will have to be addressed at some point, although a cheaper vet or later-round draft pick would seem like a more appropriate way to address it.

Yep but getting Spiller in this scenario isn't the worst thing ever.

Starks late would be nice.

we need to just take the best player available, it's just a smoke screen we won't be drafting him

Unless he is their best player available.
