Both qb's taken in top 5? hahahahahha
but i'd take this draft ANY day,


anybody but me are thinkin that carrol and company will be looking at julius peppers?

Julius Peppers got paid $1 million per game last year. As much cash as we have and are willing to spend, I can't imagine we'd spend that much on one DE.

I keep trying to say "No, no...we don't need a S or HB that early," and then I remember that we do. As much as we need 5 other positions. I can't believe we have this many holes.

I just can't for the life of me see Clausen going #1...

What if Okung is still there @ 6?

I'm pretty sure they have someone they're fairly enamored with... Mark something...

Having seen Berry in action, I don't think he'll be the next Ed Reed, but the next Ken Hamlin...not a good choice at #6...I'd rather see Hayden, Pierre-Paul, Morgan or even Earl Thomas. Better still, I'd like to trade back and stock some more picks...

No point on using a high pick on a stud RB if you don't have a line for him. RB's don't have much of a shelf life, and it's even shorter if they don't have a good line. We've got more holes than we can fill in one year, and RB should be one of the last ones in place to get maximum value out of them. I'd rather see Morgan, Thomas, Brown, Iupati (not gonna happen, but I'd still love it),or Bulaga.

BaNos, Okung is extermely overrated, and is not a good fit for ZBS...

I would rather see Haden over berry personally.

Don't get too excited thinking the hawks will go big into OL early I think Carroll trusts Gibbs to do his magic that is why he hired him. the earliest we can expect OL is second and most likely a LT. The First round is going to be about Offensive and/or Defensive Playmakers and possibly more picks. I for one am excited for this prospect because we have solid players but not playmakers. This is true on both sides of the ball, however I do think that Curry and Tapp will have great years next year, Carroll has got to be salivating over their athletisism.

I would love for the LT from USC Brown I think to fall to us at 40. I do think that Carroll would pull the trigger. If we dont get spiller in the first I am hopeing that Mcknight or matthews to fall to us in the 4th or 3rd (if we pick one up in the first)

I like Haden, McCoy, Clausen (possibly), Spiller, D Williams, Price and Suh (but will never fall that far) in the first round.

I'm not sure St Louis will take a QB #1 - A first OA pick costs a ton and taking a QB would add another $10-15 million. Stafford got $41.7 mill gtd, lots of money for a franchise in trouble and up for sale.

I think McCoy was mocked to the Bengals.

Berry, not the next Ed Reed but the next Ken Hamlin?! I think you are confusing Eric Berry with Taylor Mays. Berry is the best ball hawking safety to come along in years, Mays will be a bust.

Looks like a great draft to me. Two play makers. One on either side of the ball. I hope we can get Berry and Spiller, And I hope that we can rebuild the offensive line.

Just pointing something out. Not sure if everyones seen it, but the draft order on this page is different from the draft order on the link provided that explains all the picks.

....Can you please tell me what you know about derrick morgan that makes you think he is a great player? I'm not trying to throw you front of the bus, but just because everyone is saying "Pick Morgan" does not mean you have to agree with them. This also goes for Spiller. We do not need either of the two players with our top 2 picks. It would be a shame. Also, I'm suprised that B. Campbell is not in the first round, which leads me to believe there is something wrong with the mock draft.

Here is some info from my paid suscription to scouts.com. after you read it, please tell me if you still want Morgan or Spiller, when our team has so much more need then those two!

D. Morgan
Strengths:
Solid height and great bulk/strength
Shows very nice burst off the snap; good first step
Good closing speed
Great flexibility
Dips and bends; runs the tight horn to QB
Has improved hand use
Gets good leverage
Nice pass rush repertoire (spin, club, rip, etc.)
Plays with consistent effort; love his motor
Really sets the edge
Can play left or right end

Weaknesses:
Very sluggish hips; can't drop into zone
Not the most comfortable in space
Lacks some agility
Hand use could still be more consistent
Needs to develop some counter moves
Can't play in the 3-4 at outside linebacker
Disengagement technique could improve

Summary: Derrick Morgan's stock has really risen this season and I expect him to come off the board in the top 20 picks now. There is so much value for pass rushers in the 4-3 scheme in the league since they are so hard to come by, but Morgan's well-rounded skill set and potential will make him of value to NFL teams.

NFL Fans of 3-4 teams: don't get your hopes up. Morgan really struggles when dropping into coverage. He is most comfortable with his hand in the ground.

CJ Spiller….

Strengths:
• Solid bulk
• Extremely fast with gamebreaking ability
• Instinctive back
• Patient and sets up blockers
• Great vision to identify cutback lanes at line of scrimmage and in open field
• Very elusive and evades tacklers
• Great spin move
• Runs routes well out of backfield
• Lots of experience catching the ball
• Soft hands
• Nice second gear to go distance
• Breaks a good amount of tackles for his weight
• Can contribute as a returner
• Projects as an excellent No. 2, change-of-pace running back
• Good YPC average despite weak offensive line


Weaknesses:
• Won't get that much bigger without losing speed
• Not very assertive between the tackles
• Generally shys from contact
• Not very powerful
• Not going to get much done on the goal line
• Weak inside runner
• Mediocre in pass protection
• Not an explosive or exceptional punt returner
• Cuts outside far too often

Summary: Spiller profiles as a very explosive back, but isn't a No. 1 in the NFL, which isn't an entirely bad thing. He needs to work on his pass protection the most so he can really help out virtually every team on third down. With James Davis gone, he has a chance to show teams he can handle a greater workload in 2009.

Player Comparison: Reggie Bush. Both backs love to kick it outside and have the elite athleticism to make everyone miss in the open field as great home-run threats.

as previously stated, we have more need in other positions then Morgan and Spiller.....


I would be glad to look up any player you want.

Also, if you pick spiller at 14 your looking to pay him somewhere around 5-years, $23M max. ($13.125M guaranteed) – this is based on last years Running back picked at 13. I assure you that Spiller will get more then last year.

For half that I would sign LT. I think he has couple years in him and gives us time to develop RB of the future (hopefully pick in 2nd or 4th round).


Does Anyone know who Aaron Maybin or Larry English is? Well I don’t either! Aaron is a DE picked at 11 by the Bills, Signed - 5-years, $24.6M max. ($14.24M guaranteed) 2009 Stat – Lost starting job and end 2009 with 14 tackles.

Larry English DE, picked 16th by Chargers, signed 5-years, $17.95M ($9.905M guaranteed) Stat: 38 tackles and 2 sacks.

I wont even mention Jackson DE 3rd pick of the Chiefs……lol what a bust!


Morgan is not worth @ 14 or 10-15 Mil guaranteed.

A Holmgren team is not going to take Haden or any other defensive player short of Suh over Dez Bryant. Also, while an RB makes some sense with Dallas due to the Barbarians faltering, they need O-line even more and I fully expect them to go that route in the first.

What about Golden Tate? While his lack of size may keep him out of the top 15, I would be thrilled and shocked if he's there in the second. The guy can flat play. Darrell Jackson wasnt much bigger, and he was the second or third best WR is Hawk history for more than 6 years.

I still dont see Seattle taking a safety at pick 4 no matter how good, especially when there will be starter material safeties available in the second round and perhaps in the fourth.

And yeah, I think too many folks are confusing Berry with Mays. Mays is the physical freak that may be a bust, and Berry is the real deal football player. Still, at pick 4 its ridiculous in my opinion to talk S. Im not sure he goes in the top 10, as its just too much money for that position.

I don't agree with Berry with #6. One of our issues seemed to be with pass rush. Improving pass rush would help the secondary extensively because QB's would have less time to pick their spot. I would be okay with Spiller though I think OLine improvement and QB of the future are bigger needs.

berry is a luxury we cant afford with the 6th pick.

Also i dont see how the cowboys would spend another 1st round pick on a rb with barber/jones/choice already in the fold.

Lars:

Coming on here to criticize someone else's work and mock draft and try to tear it apart like you are some knowledgeable guru is hilarious.

I had a chance to glance through your mock draft and find it just as ridiculous. You come on here to say that Brandon Lafell won't be drafted in the first couple of rounds...but mock him going 26th overall.

I'm not sure if you actually watch football and formulate your own opinions, or you just read other articles and repeat what other people say. If you had a chance to watch any Bills games this year, you would've seen that Marcus Stroud is/was a non-factor all year and his play has declined considerably. He doesn't get the penetration he used to, and hasn't been able to play with as much leverage. If the Bills continue with a switch to the 3-4, he could possibly be a 3-4 end in that alignment

Also, I don't see any way that Gerald McCoy falls out of the top 10. He's too good, too versatile and fits too many schemes. He could play 3-tech, or play a 3-4 end. He's a disruptive defensive lineman, that without Suh in this draft, would be talked about in a similar manner as one of the best DT's in years.

In the future, just try and get your ducks in a row if you are going to try and show off your football knowledge.

First off, It's not a luxury pick if he comes in and contributes right away. A QB at #6 would be a luxury pick as he would be paid to sit.

Not to mention that many people agree with the BPA to a certain extent. I wouldn't agree taking McClain at #6 if he is BPA because of our LB core, but taking Berry, arguably the top prospect in the draft, would be BPA at #6 and fills a need. That is smart football. And it all depends on how the FO builds their big board. They could have Campbell, Brown or Iupati as their top OL, have them ranked higher than Spiller and choose to go in that direction.

I don't think that would necessarily be the case as Spiller is on another level, fills a need and may be BPA at #14. And just because the NFL is slowly gearing towards a 2 back set doesn't mean that is the way to go. White saw few carries this year and even less in the second half of the season as Johnson carried the work load. All I'm saying is that Spiller is the same kind of back and he has heart. He played through injuries all year, took less than 10 carries in 4 different games and still put up the numbers he did. He's tough and exactly the kind of back that will make it in the NFL. They are right to compare him to Johnson.

Morgan would be a mistake. The guys folds when facing higher end talent. Bulaga made him invisible in the Orange Bowl.

Of those players you named, the only one who really disappointed is Larry English. He is supposed to be another great pass rusher across from Shawne Merriman, and still has time to develop but was disappointing his rookie year.

Aaron Maybin is an undersized DE more fit to play 3-4 OLB. He will be a much better player in the Bill's new 3-4 scheme.

As for Tyson Jackson, he is indeed a DE, but a 3-4 DE. They tend to function differently than their 4-3 counter parts. They are not intended to rush the passer like a true DE does, they are intended to push the pocket back and occupy blockers. If they have a clear shot at the QB, great, but that is secondary to letting the OLBs get there by occupying the blockers. I wouldn't go calling Jackson a bust because he is a prototypical 3-4 DE. He will be a very good player in the league.

there is no such thing as a 1st round qb being a luxury pick

What we need to do is target someone like Jared Gaither as our future LT or Logan Mankins as a LG. Gaither is only 24, and the ravens may let him walk espcially considering how Mike Oher looked at LT in Gaither's abscence. Not sure how he fits into our ZBS run system, but he is a very good pass protector and since most teams run at the right side it may not be a huge deal.

Mankins seems to be the perfect fit for the ZBS; he was the player Max Unger kept getting compared to last year. THe Pats will most likely be looking to spend their $$ on defense since that unit looked very poor this year, which is not the norm for a Belichek led team.

If we were to pull even one of these FA signings off we would free up a pick in the draft to be used elsewhere. Both are young players (24 and 2, so they will not decline like Pat Kerney, Ken Lucas and other recent FA's have in recent years.

Colt McCoy to the Jets? Why would they do that?

myjackrebel - thank you. Rookie QBs belong on the bench learning their trade. I would say that spending a 1st round pick on a QB at a time when he has the luxury to sit is a much smarter investment than waiting until he is needed. I would rather see a rookie QB get paid to sit and learn for a year or two than start one immediately and ruin him for the rest of his career. If one is available, this is the year to get our QB of the future.

You guys have to click on the actual link listed in the article, for some reason the mock that is pictured is the wrong one.

if the hawks arent sold on the qb's coming out this year, one idea i do like is perhaps trading one of our 1st rounders for a 1st rounder next year. that gives us two for next year we could use to move up and select some one like Jake Locker.

I'll be very surprised if Terrance Cody, Colt McCoy and Jonathan Dwyer go in round one.

I like the idea of Locker too, but if Carroll/Schnieder view one of this year's QBs as a potential franchise guy, and he is available, they have to take him. They can't pass on the sure thing of drafting their QB of the future to to get into the position to maybe or maybe not have an opportunity for a QB of the future next year. Next year's QBs are no more of a sure thing than this year's QBs. Plus, if Locker has a great senior year, we probably won't be in a position to draft him anyway.

One other note: Last year, all the "experts" said that Seattle should not take a QB in the '09 draft because the QB class was so weak - Stafford was it, with Sanchez and Freeman dropping to the late 1st. We were assured that the '10 class would be much stronger.....

Now we're hearing the same thing: "Don't take a QB this year, next year will be better.....this year, Clausen is iffy, Bradford is hurt, McCoy can't throw the out, Tebow is a disaster, Tony Pike is awful. Wait...."

Seattle can't wait any longer. They need to identify which QB they want out of Clausen, Bradford and Zac Brown and then draft him. Then go after a bunch of O Line and D Line help.

If either Clausen or Bradford is still there at 6, then i would love to see the Hawks trade the #6 pick to the bills for the 9th pick and a 1st next year. that would put us into position to draft locker next year, for only moving down three spots. The bills have to know that Holmgren will not pass on a QB if one of the top two is still sitting there at 7, and might be willing to make that move to acquire the "QB of the future"...

I like the idea of signing Logan Mankins. One of the most underrated things the broncos did to improve in 1995 was sign Mark Schlereth in Free agency, who solidified his position and line in general. i would be a lot more comfortable waiting until the 40th pick to draft a lineman if that were the case.

but, i would still much rather see them take a lineman with one of the 2 1st rounders. and even trading down to #9, Haden, Brown, Buluga, Lupati, Thomas, etc.... will still be there.

That Logan Mankins idea really has me excited... Add to it Buluga at 9(who i think projects as the best tackle prospect in the draft and is familiar with the ZBS),
draft Spiller at 14,
and then maybe Ghee at 40...
then add Gerhart or Scott in the 4th....

That would be a HUGE improvement!

If the Hawks don't draft a QB first they will be finishing last in the perpetually weak NFC West for years to come. We need a quarterback worthy of an NFL O-line. Hass will cause an offensive line to self destruct by the no-help extra pressure he causes them. Hass had two all-decade players guarding him in his prime and his stats were never stellar. Matt is so slow he even makes Brett Favre look like Speedy Gonzalez. Matt is not good at reading defenses and hitting his receivers fast enough. Good quarterbacks make things happen under pressure, Hass folds. The offensive line simply does not stand a chance to stay healthy like other NFL teams with more fundamentally efficient quarterbacks. Along with speed and a strong arm it will be refreshing to have a playmaker under center again. You never know, Claussen may be there but Bradford and even McCoy will be fine. Why waste a #1 on a defensive player if your team can't score any points? I have a feeling Berry will be another disappointment like Curry.

I wouldn't mind adding Mankins and drafting Bruce Campbell and Dez Bryant and maybe trading for Reggie Bush somehow. Bush and Spiller have a sililar style of play and rumors of Bush being put on the trading block sound promising. A combo of Campbell, Mankins, Bryant and Bush would make our offense very potent.

I think our defense would be above average if we could keep them off the field, something we haven't been able to do since 07. If we add a safety like Myron Rolle in the later rounds it may be enough to aid our secondary, though the pass rush would still be a concern.

Trading the Bills for the 9th would be great. I doubt they will give us a first rounder next year, but a third rounder will do.

As for Mankins, there is very little chance of him coming here. Unless the Pats draft a replacement (such as Iupati maybe), they pretty much will have dibs on him because the expiring CBA makes him a restricted free agent.

I like the idea of going with Bulaga at 9 and even Iupati at 14. Who cares if it is a 'high' place to pick a OG.

Please trade the 6th pick for a first next year and a three and a 6th.Then trade the fourteen for a two,three and six.We would have have a first next year where there is better talent at positions of need.Two second rounders this year.Two third rounders a fourth rounder,fifth rounder and two six rounders.And lets not forget we have three 7th rounders.That will give us 11 picks this year and two first rounders next year.We could get alot of talent anywhere after the 14th pick with that many picks to play with.I would be surprised if this doesnt happen.To many holes and it saves the team money.There is a ton of talent if you have good scouting.

We have to fix the O- line Campbell and then Bugala in the first round and pick J Dwyer in the second should be a good start. Look what the Jets did a couple of years ago drafted O line and built from there.

Why does "next year" always have better talent???

I don't get this, every year its the exact same thing. People say we should wait on a posistion because next year is a better year. We heard it last year with QBs, because of Bradford, and get this: Tebow and McCoy. Thats right, people actually hoping we would pass on Sanchez for Tebow or McCoy.

We have two first round picks NOW, why trade them for two first rounders NEXT year when they are of as much use to us as they are now? We have two picks in the top 15. That is a unique and envious posistion to be in. We can fix two needs with those two picks.

It makes sense to trade one first rounder this year for next is simple.Jake Locker will be better than Claussen or Bradford.Mark Ingram is better than Spiller and Best.And Michael Floyd is better than Dez Bryant.We need a qb,rb and wr.I think we should trade up with our 6th pick to get pick in the third round and take the best player of need in the first.I would not be upset if we took Berry with the pick but why not trade up to get an OT in the middle of the first and more picks.

Wasn't McCoy and Tebow supposed to be better than Sanchez, Stafford and Freeman? I fail to see your logic saying next year is any better than this year. Things change. Those players you mentioned may and probably will drop drastically come next year.

I really don't see Locker becoming a better QB than Clausen, or Bradford if his shoulder holds up. Lets face it people only like him because he is from Washington, and people only hate Clausen because hes from Notre Dame. Switch their posistons and everyone will be loving Clausen like theres no tomorrow. Clausen is by far the better prospect.

Plus its a crap shoot, there is no way to be sure we are even going to be in a posistion to draft any of those players you mentioned. Remember how Denver's pick was supposed to be a top 5? Thanks to a complete collapse of their team we still came out miles ahead, but not as far as we all expected to be.

Here are some needs for you, we need a corner/safety and a LT (assuming both QBs are off the board). Draft Haden or Berry at 6 and Bruce Campbell or Charles Brown at 14. Thats two solutions solved NOW, not next year.

Omar-

First off what you are saying is the opposite. Clausen comes from a pro style opposite which is a big reason he's gotten the hype he has. And being from UW would only hurt Locker's stock. The "West Coast Biased" east coasters are all on the Locker band wagon. It's almost universal across the board of football critics that if Locker had entered the draft he'd be the #1 QB.

No one thought Tebow translated well to the NFL. That is something most believed and McCoy kinda had a down year in comparison. But it's guys like Locker and Mallet not entering that ruined the draft talent. Couple that with guys like Snead and Pike not living up the the potential and it makes for a weaker class.

I would be happy with your #6 and #14 selections though. They are all names that are on my acceptable list at those spots.

that's pro style offense not opposite... where did that come from

I say if clausen is ther at 6 take him. bradford worries me more though his offens was way too gimicky

I do wish Mallett declared, that guy was very high risk/reward, but he has some serious potential.

Its not that I don't like Locker, I'm just not jumping on the bandwagon. He is a good prospect, but I would prefer Clausen or Bradford over him. Bradford plays more of a pro style offense then most people think, his recievers at least ran pro routes and he made pro throws. While Clausen was trained by the same guy that trained Tom Brady, so you know he played in a solid pro system. While Locker played one year in a WCO, and is still very raw as a prospect.

I don't see how its fair for people to argue against Clausen because they consider him a "one year wonder" but tout Locker as the next Steve Young, when its Locker who is the true one year wonder.

I am cool with your picks at 6th and 14th.But tell me that more picks wouldnt be better.Whether in this years draft or next years.I think we win either way.I love these picks and I tend to favor Berry and Morgan with the 6th pick.Or Bryant,Spiller,Campbell,Iupati in the 14th.But I just think this years draft class is Defense loaded especially in the first.I think the second round is pretty deep with some big playmakers that could in well with the Hawks.Next year will be loaded with Offfensive players in the first.It is just an option we should consider.I will tell you this if the Hawks get Haden,Berry,McClain or Morgan with our two first rounders it will be good day.I believe our defense will be tough as nails especially if Tatupu can come back to form.I here everyone talk about our two first rounders.Any opions out there of rounds 2-7.

Locker has been solid for 3 years and steadily progressing his game. He's been hyped up ever since starting as a true freshman. Clausen is the one who really only came into the spot light this year which is why he's considered the one year wonder.

I will give you that Locker has had to show less in the passing game in the past because he hasn't had the talent around him and has had to use his feet WAY too much.

I guess I would be for trading out of the 6th or 14th spot depending on how the draft plays out. Say for instance if McCoy or Clausen fall to 6, then I think we should pull the trigger on either of these two. I woudn't mind seeing Campbell at 6 either. I really don't see us trading out of 6 though, you don't see many trades into the top 10.

That 14 pick offers us a lot of flexiblility. We could trade back to a team trying to get Spiller or one of the tackles and come out with a later first, and either a second or a third. That would be a very favorable situation to me, especially considering those second rounders are the foundation of the teams.

Clausen would be a mistake. Especially potentially passing on top end talent of Berry or Haden. I'm hoping neither Bradford or Clausen fall to #6 so I don't have to wait 10 minutes to see if the Hawks make the mistake of picking one of them up.

And that's not fair I guess as they have much more of a clue than I do, but I just feel both have too much risk involved to take at #6. And that's just my opinion so we don't need a rebuttle here. That's been done many times before.

Berry and Spiller would be a home run in the first round. Getting the best o-lineman left at 40 would be incredible. That would give the hawks a game changer on both sides of the ball, while suring up the o-line which is needed as well. Don't be surprised to see some lower-end free agent o-linemen signed as well.

From a seahawks perspective this would be a great draft as long as we could get some oline help in the second, fourth or FA. Going with Berry is safe and an instant starter, and spiller is the playmaker our team is missing. McCoy is not going to get drafted that high, the guy at Walterfootball compares him to a poor mans Kyle Orton and I tend to agree with him. The truth about the hawks is that they have many many holes and should not rush into going for need unless their at the top of their board.

If Clausen is there at 6 we're going to take him, eventhough I don't want him (probably my hatred of Notre Dame more than his skill set). I don't see them going after Bradford though, he just doesn't seem like a Carrol QB.

gohawksgc89,

Sorry, I should have clarified. I was talking about the DT McCoy, not the QB McCoy. I wouldn't take Colt McCoy with a 5th round pick, but Gerald McCoy is one of the best DTs to come along in years. If not for Suh looking to be the next Cortez Kennedy, McCoy would be one of the more hyped players in the draft.

I dont think Pete Carroll will bring in Matts replacement this year.I think if he brought in a qb it would only cause tension on the club.He will wade in the water and take safe high end picks.A qb would put pressure on himself when he needs a year to see what the clubs needs are for himself.He might take a late round qb but that would just crowd the depth chart.It will be interesting.

I have to agree with the people who are pressing for Locker next year at #1. If we have the ability to trade picks with a team that we know will be bad next year(Bills, Browns, Rams, Chiefs, etc...), i would love to see us do it.

Trade the #14 Pick for a 3rd rounder this year and a 1st rounder next year?

Locker has the skill set and tools to become a great NFL QB. What we saw last year was just the tip of the iceburg. Give Sark another year to develop him and you will see major improvement. He already has the ability to elude tackles better than Ben Roethlisberger, has arm strength to match Aaron Rodgers or Philip Rivers and has as much speed as Vick. The only thing he lacked was polish on his passing game, which he is know recieving from Sarkisian, who is still the career accuracy record holder at BYU, in spite of all the other great QBs to go through there(Steve Young, Jim McMahon, Gifford Nielson, Marc Wilson... all Hall of Fame QBs)

There is no way that clausen will be the first pick overall. 1) terrible down field accuracy, all he would do in college is toss it up for grabs. Albeit golden tate came down with it the majority of the time, those passes are interceptions in the nfl. 2) if he gets any defensive pressure, he makes very bad decisions. by playing behind one of the best college o-lines he was not under much pressure, but whenever teams got to him, he was not mobile at all and all of his so called "accuracy" went in the garbage.

I like the hawks picks, we need o-line really badly, but this draft does not have an linemen worthy of a top 6 pick. Get the best player available.

LT of the chargers thhinks he will not be playing for them next season. if we happened to get a running back like him then we could an ot or og. but i think cj spiller is one of the best backs in college. he runs fast . jukes good. spots the hole etc. a safety would be very good for our defense but i think they should draft a QB and have matt teach him for a season while matt is the starter. then after that season matt will be the backup.( mike teel is pretty good . he through some good passes in the preeason. i could see him being the next starter)in the secong round we should get a ol/og to really help the line if we get cj spiller.

No way we take LT, we learned our lesson on old FA running backs.

Hope to trade down to the 20s in first a 3rd this and next for our #6 pick.I dont see us getting an Olineman early.We do need more picks and by trading down we gain that and less of a up front output.If Spiller is not there we should go for Joe Mcnight in 2nd.Maybe a DE & S in the 1st,CB in the 3rd and WR in the 4th
