Draft C.J. Spiller as our Futureback. Adds needed depth to the position, improves special teams immediately, could step in if Portis is removed/injured, he is accustomed to platooning, and could take some pressure to produce off of Campbell. He's probably not a good pick at 4th, so we could scoop up a few extra draft picks just by trading down (thus retaining the ability to bolster the OL).

I like our defense--there is a lot of athleticism on D. They just need some coaching and perhaps (after hearing from Haynesworth and Hall), a more intuitive defensive scheme. I'm really looking forward to witnessing Landry's inevitable improvement next season.

There are actually some pretty good O-linemen available through free agency (who have knees with some years left in them), so no need to go OL crazy in the draft, particularly early.

We need a weapon, and I think staying with Campbell has a favorable risk/reward ratio, so we don't need to waste an early pick on a risky QB. Picking up an outstanding athlete at RB at a spot lower than 4th could help out a lot.

Lastly, if you have doubts that C.J. Spiller is capable of being a high-performance RB, you're absolutely justified in your concerns and you are NOT crazy. However, remember who the new head coach is his track record with RBs.
