Bills set to meet with Spiller.

Most mock drafts we have seen lately have him going to us at 9...

I'm a big fan, not only because the running game is supposed to be the biggest part of our offense...but then we would have 3 very unique running backs that many teams would covet and you can get more out of a trade than 1 draft pick

Plus, this opens up the offense even more because teams will be VERY concerned about our running game and even if the O-line was somewhat weak...with three studs running the ball defenses will get worn down easily

I'm a BIG fan of Spiller at 9 although I think Clausen could prevent that from coming to fruition

Re: Bills set to meet with Spiller.

Until we get a Qb that can beat the 8 in the box that defenses will put out there against our run game, you could have any RBs you want and you won't be successful. I am not saying we need an all-pro QB this year, but we need someone that can hit the intermediate route in the middle of the field (15-25 yards) on a regular basis. If we don't get that, defenses will stack the box and once again our offense will average 17 points or so. We need a QB that can keep a defense honest. Not sure we have that yet.

Trent Edwards can do that with the right coaching and even if you don't think so
look at the Jets....they had at least 3 stud RBs with a ****ty QB and all went well

Edwards sucks

Good to see. Spiller is more than just a dynamic RB he is an excellent receiver who can play in the slot, he is one of the most dangerous return men, and he can also run the wildcat. He is a more polished runner than Bush but just as dangerous.

Re: Bills set to meet with Spiller.

If the Bills did take Spiller I would hope that they would trade one of the RB's we have now to secure a serious position of need. They desperately need a LT. I think a NT can be found later in the draft. Maybe Trent with better coaching can be better. DJ couldn't of groomed Elway if he was on the team.

Re: Bills set to meet with Spiller.

Pure trade leverage move.

Showing genuine interest in Spiller could entice a team to move up in our spot to grab him.

Such as SF, Seattle, etc.

I'd be ESTATIC if we could move down a little from 9.. A guy like Spiller that some teams crave picking after us could make that happen.

Re: Bills set to meet with Spiller.

The only reason teams want him is because of his speed which is like chris johnson, but to me he is just another reggie bush

ill be honest i would puke if we drafted a RB with the first pick and all the holes we have, but ill play along...what impact players could we get at LT, LB or DT in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds?

Scout's muncher has 38 mocks....Spiller isn't mentioned among the top 4, and looks like he could be the choice in a maximum of 2.

Actually, PFT is the only mock of the 38 that has us taking Spiller.

I don't think his speed is anywhere near Chris Johnson (who's is ?) but his open field cuts that make people miss is what sets him apart from the pack. Makes very quick decisions and never hesitates. Still

Like DB says, his amazing versitility equals more touches and you want guys like this with their hands on the ball.

I'd be more comfortable with the pick if more could be done, prior to draft day.
