They knew they were taking Spiller a long time before the draft. I think they wanted one of the 2 tackles, but with them gone. McClean gone. And no QBs worthy of #9, I think they really wanted Spiller. I remember Nix speaking of a guy who could change field position and affect the game in a variety of ways...and that was about a month before the draft. I thought he was referring to McCluster or a late round guy. I shoulda known.
When I look at who went after Spiller: Bulaga, Davis, Alualu, D. Thomas, Gresham.....all of these guys had questions. Spiller was the last guy on the board with no questions on his resume. B.P.A. Maybe by a lot. We'll see.
