    Luxury Picks Adrian Peterson & Chris Johnson

    What were the Vikings thinking in 2007 ? RB Chester Taylor was coming off a 1200 yd. season and they needed help in the lines. But they passed on average to good lineman to draft Peterson. Stupid Vikings. They already had a "credible" RB. Luxury pick.

    Titans Chris Johnson in 2008 ? Are you kidding me ? Lendale White had over 1100 yds the year before. Plus they had another 1000 rusher on the roster in Chris Brown. What about a decent lineman ? WTF ? White & Brown were "credible". Luxury pick.

    Well, the Bills are just going to have to play Spiller in the backfield and in the slot at WR and take their lumps with their "luxury" draft pick. His college film doesn't show much but we'll see how it turns out.

    I wonder if Spiller will purchase a luxury car ? I mean a Ford Focus is "credible" enough for him.

        Don't forget the Panthers picking up DeAngelo Williams when they had DeShaun Foster and Stephen Davis. And then they had the nerve to get Jonathan Stewart too?

        TWO 1100+ yard backs? Really? C'mon Carolina!

          While I dont mind the Spiller pick, -mainly because there was no one else of value @ #9.... I dont think it's a fair comparison.

          First off, -Spiller is no AP.

          Secondly, Chris Johnson, DeAngelo Williams, and Jonathan Stewart... they were all picked in the second half of the first round, -if not near the end of the first round.
          Teams that pick that low in the first round do not have nearly all the holes that a team that picks near the top has.

              Didnt the Vikings need defensive end help at the time?

              Clearly they shouldve went with Jamaal Anderson.

                huh? Spiller was a good college player, -but how was he more dominant than Peterson, McFadden, Bush, etc...?

                  Spiller hasn't even played 1 down yet, how do you know he's not equal or even better than Peterson?

                      Spiller is no Peterson, he has NEVER fumbled.

                        Great, lets hitch our Buffalo wagon to the exceptions. Now I am wondering if Dellapella would even trade Spiller for Chris Johnson or AD in lala land where that trade would exist.

                          yeah, and Spiller has never run a 300 yard game in the NFL.

                          come on now...

                          Was Spiller the best possible pick @ #9? Sure. All the top OT's were gone. Suh and McCoy were gone. Berry was gone.
                          Spiller made the best sense unless we were going to reach for a player.


                          But to say he's a once in a decade running back is insane.
                          He was good in college, -maybe even great. All Im saying is that he didnt dominate the college ranks like some other rb's in the past few years. People need to start taking off their rose-colored glasses

                            The only problem with these guys is defenses have gotten so big, quick and strong they key on them all came and hurt them. The result is very short careers. Spiller might have great years here for a couple but then be too beat up to move us to the next level. In that case he's useless to a rebuilding team other than to sell tickets which is all this team is about anyway. Wilson is so happy chasing his tail trying to focus on what he can do this year to sell tickets he has no idea what winning consistently would like his pockets with.
