New SI Draft Board has some weirdness

It does have weirdness but I'm not sure I have any confidence in any mock pre-combine or pro day. I think we will have a much better picture after all that stuff ends.
I didn't see the first 21 picks, but I think it looks alright. I think Trent Williams could fall if teams peg him as a RT, which is very possible/likely.

Also, I know people hate on Cody, but he's a force in the middle and teams are always looking to shore up their interior DL, especially 3-4 defenses. I doubt he slides as much as everyone is projecting.

With Spiller, I wouldn't be surprised if he drops a little. He looks like a great change of pace guy and ST standout. I can see the concerns about taking him as your franchise RB. I love how they put Ryan Matthews as the biggest sleeper of the draft. He's the most complete RB, IMO.

I know the NFL loves size and speed, but GA Tech's WR looks like a boom or bust type of pick. He'll go early, even with the broken foot. He might be the riskiest pick of the draft.

They are going the wrong way with Spiller. I think he's going to be a top 15 lock by the end of the combine, and probably gone before the Niners draft at 13.

Spiller is the most explosive player in this draft, and these difference-making players are very few. Look out for Denver at 10.

True but you really think Denver can afford to go RB again? Not to mention all those free agent rb's they have and the fact that Eddie royal is pretty explosive in the return game. I was thinking they would go Dez Bryant if not McClain.

I agree. I don't think Denver will be interested in Spiller. They just got Moreno last year too.

I agree completely. This draft is deep but the speed guys are mostly little. Spiller's big enough. I'm just hoping he lasts till 13.

You ought to have to use 2 picks to get him, like buying an extra seat on a plane.

I just do not see Denver taking a running back after picking Moreno last year. That would be shocking to me. With Brandon Marshall on the way out I have to believe that Dez Bryant is a lock to Denver if he is available.
