But shouldn’t a hit in the seventh round be worth more points than a hit in the first round? Percentage wise a large number of first round talents have a much greater success rate than in the later rounds. If you can find a hit at the bottom of the draft, it shows some good decision making IMO Are we going to pull out secondary and honors now? Regardless, 1 productive season does not make him a hit in my book. He’s certainly close. But in the grand scheme of things he had mininmal impact on the team. Games played is not a good indicator of success. Based on your rationale Todd Collins was a hit in the 2nd round. No based on my Rationale a 6th rounder having any kind of nfl career is a slam dunk. But Carry on, I think we’ve already been round on this on in the extremely flawed Polian re cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Textbook case of a great athlete masquerading as a competent football player. I think prioritizing athletes over football players was a problem Nix and Whaley both had with their drafts. I am in agreement with you. He was a nice player but did not have the impact at RB that a Top 10 pick should. Sadly, there are people in this thread who argued Spiller was a hit! 1 minute ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: No based on my Rationale a 6th rounder having any kind of nfl career is a slam dunk.

Like I just said, some want to call C.J. Spiller at #8 a good selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that really constitute a hit? I don’t think so - the same reason why I will call one of my favorite Bills players Karlos Williams a miss. There needs to be at least some longetivity to constitute a hit. Kiko played one year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
