Proven? Maybe proven in college, but that doesn't mean he is proven in the pro's. Same goes for Iupati. I'd select Iupati over Williams based on raw talent and potential.

I didn't know Spiller can play OG? Is he better than Iupati?

Well.. DUH. No player is proven in the NFL yet. Williams is proven as an OT in college which is something that Iupati isnt. Iupati is incredibly hyped in here and I'm sure he will be good. However, I would take Bulaga, Williams, and Davis ahead of him.

I believe that Iupati can slide over to the right side and play tackle. He has great size and very quick feet to make the transition simple and easy. And apparently, he has had experience playing the tackle position. I guess it all really depends on how he does during the senior bowl and combine.

i am thinking about WR Golden Tate- Notre Dame. My eyes on him because he had very good a speed and very fast a runner than Crabtree. I think, i am feeling my gut that Golden Tate is best the draft!

Don't trade Gore, draft Spiller and Williams (or Davis, or Bulaga, or Iupati even) to extend his career and open up our offense.
Scott Wright's (and everyone's) mocks get better as the draft gets closer and this one seems to follow that pattern too. This would be a team-changing first round with several picks left to solidify the defense and add more speed all-around. We better get to the playoffs next year so I don't have to start thinking about the draft so early.

I'm assuming he has Tate over Spiller and not T Williams. People are really overrating this we have to OL, OL with picks 13 and 17.

Iupati, Spiller, Ducasse.

yeah lets trade a proven probowl top 5 running back so we cant make spiller our number 1 back

This is only if we draft Spiller. Gore isn't getting younger or healthier. What are we gonna do, trade him when he has no value?

My first choice is keeping Gore, and drafting Iupati and Bulaga/Davis/Williams, but I can understand if they are willing to go with the younger legs combination of Spiller/Coffee. PS: I'm not a Gore hater.

To be honest he has no value know. Seriously if it isn't AP or CJ why would any team trade for a RB with the way the position has be devalued over the last few years. Not on knock on Gore but it's knock on the position.

I agree with you. RB's with 6+ years of mileage aren't worth much.

And sadly the shelf-life for a RB is very, very short. Gore has another three, four years at the most before his production jumps off a cliff.

Backs like Emmitt Smith who had eleven 1,000 yard seasons won't happen anymore. It's also why you see so many more teams going to RBBC. It's worse for individual numbers for the backs but it sure does increase their longevity.
