Why "Draft Experts" usually aren't....

CJ Spiller falls to 20? Not very likely. As a matter of fact, the mock drafts from writers whose projections are based on (at least) some league sources have Spiller going in the top 15.

Now, were we living in an NFL alternate reality where Chris Johnson didn't exist? Spiller probably falls that far. My main hope is that he doesn't go to the Seahawks, because a runner with that type of speed and quickness would be murder on the 49er defense.


FWIW: I'm quite happy if San Fran drafts either Earl Thomas or Brian Bulaga. Won't be the sexiest picks, but they'll be solid. With their second pick in the first round I'm guessing Claussen is the pick. Smith was a bust of a pick and SF needs a QB. That ND to SF connection has worked before....

The Texans had better not fall into the Ryan Matthews trap or this will become another bust of a draft. I've already stated that Taylor Mays is my first choice, but it looks as if that's not going to happen. Second choice would be Kyle Wilson. If neither of those are available then they should look at best available that is NOT a running back. (At 20, you can think about an interior D-lineman for that matter, there will still be several good ones on the board) The Texans should think about Hardesty from Tennessee in the third or fourth round to fill their RB needs. In the 2nd round Parrish Cox would be a nice fit at CB.
