Now, I am all for drafting one guy in particular, and that man is Clemson's do all athlete C.J. Spiller. The dynamic Spiller, had a career best 1212 yards rushing in 2009, and a career high 503 yards receiving.
Now there is talks about other running backs. Namely the likes of Cal's Jahvid Best, Fresno State's Ryan Mathews and Georgia Tech's Jonathan Dwyer. I don't think or believe RB is a huge need at this point.
My reasoning behind this, is we have Glen Coffee, who is a hard nosed runner, and then Michael Robinson. Now robinson is not beloved by most, but he is also a do it all player. He plays special teams, and will do anything to get yardage.
But, if we can get Spiller at 13, then he would be well worth the value, he has top 10 talent, and would be the change of pace back, and return man we so lack.
So in closing, it is in my opinion, that unless we plan on drafting Spiller, just say no to the other RB's in this draft.
