Anthony Davis or CJ Spiller

You probably felt the same about Chris Johnson
Call me crazy, but I'm just not sold on Haden, and would rather get Spiller at 13, then Davis or Brown at 17. Hopefully a good CB like Kareem Jackson or Patrick Robinson is available at 49.

Not sure why, just don't like Haden. Oh well.

Hmmmm... I remember a certain player who had the same knock on him two years ago. I think he did pretty darn good being the full time starter this year.

CJ Spiller
5'11"
196 lbs
40 yard dash, 4.37

Chris Johnson
5'11"
195 lbs
40 yard dash, 4.24

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.
if the top 4 tackles are gone by pick 13, and the choice is between haden, and spiller you take the better value they are both rated #1 at their position, haden no st value, spiller has that, the multitude of things he would add to the biggest need of our team (the offense) so Spiller is the pick.

I don't know if CJ will be as good as Chris Johnson, but it is interesting how close their measurables actually are.

I'm not on the Spiller bandwagon, but that's a very interesting comparison.

It's looking like Joe Haden is going to fall to pick #13 and the niners will select the best player available. It is also thought that CJ Spiller will be taken by Seattle, but WHAT IF Seattle passes on Spiller and Spiller falls to #17? Clearly our need is at LT (A. Davis) but will Singletary take the best player available (Spiller) with second pick as well?

If we take Haden at 13 I still like Brown at 17 over either of them.

If we got a DB and an OT in the first we could still possibly get a guy like Best or Gilyard in the 2nd to fill Spiller's roll of return-man and the occasional big play guy on offense.

If we got best in the second i would be all for it.
