I think you might be confusing Spiller and Best. Best has the durability issues, Spiller played basically the entire season with turf toe. Would be very pleased with either one, but I think especially thrilled with Spiller. We'll have CP/LJ to run between the tackles

This is just like the real draft. Disgruntled fans.

Allen would be cut in his first year as GM with those two picks

you are correct. this was obviously the case of two skins fans trying to pull of something they both wanted for the skins. it would be nice, but no way in hell SF trades up to get Berry.

You make a good point; however, shanahan's system is good at taking 2nd-4th round RBs and making them look like 1st round guys. but i agree, spiller would be hard to pass on, given a draft thats played out like this one.

I honestly can't say I've seen him play much. I'm just going by the reports I've read. But I agree with BHA that Shanahan is more likely to take a back outside the first round. I also believe he'd rather have someone who is good at running between the tackles. I'm not sure Spiller is, but I have no doubt you know more about him than I do. No sarcasm, I just don't know anymore than what I've read about him. But I do understand your point. He'd make a great change of pace back and he's a threat to score everytime he touches the ball.

Jacksonville used their first two picks on offensive tackles just last year. That scenario is not that weird.

I agree with you on SF not trading up to take a safety, though.

Spiller was hard to pass on. Although Brown is a slight reach (see Sam Baker), OT was a position of great need for the Skins. The Skins also have the 49th pick in this mock and there should be a solid RB available at that pick who would not be a tremendous drop-off from Spiller. The drop-off at OT after Brown was much more dramatic.

I'm not expecting Spiller to get drafted by the Skins. The Redskins met with a lot of RBs during the combine and my guess is if they can trade into the 3rd round or late 2nd, that's where they will take a RB. The one guy I've heard mentioned a lot for the Skins is Joe McKnight (who when it comes to durability is the anti-Spiller). Also heard Gerhart, Tate, Hardesty, Best, mentioned.

Jacksonville used a first and second last year not two first specially two high first round picks I don't doubt one would go to OT but the other would had gone to a skill position and maybe use your 2nd rounder in another tackle or even the 3rd rounder.

But like I said no way SF trades two first down picks with all the needs they have to grab a safety and they wont take a QB

Don't know much about McKnight but those are some pretty good backs you mentioned. I would be happy with any of them.

so which of the two OTs you picked will be playing QB for us?

D'Boyz: so what I douched the pick! In reality this year more than any year there will be trades of players, while in this mock we cannot trade players. If the skins and the 49ers were to make that trade it would probrally include a well thought of player in addition to the picks.

Steelers FO may accidentally have been on same plane as Chicago FO. Reportedly Steelers FO will be back in time for their selection.

Which Redskins player do you believe SF need or would take that would make them trade up in the draft? specially in one of the best draft classes according to "experts" in decades... change scenarios for a second imagine SF has the 4th pick and Washington has the 13 and 17 of the draft do u see Washington trading both their high first round picks to move up and get a safety? and what player would u realisticly take from SF to add in that trade... please don't say Crabtree, Davis, Gore or Davis because we all know SF wouldn't trade those 4 players.

Now if your trade had included Washigntons 2nd round pick I think it would had been more realistic but again not for a safety I just think you wanted to help Snyder a little lol and see your team have a fantasitc draft.

I don't see any player Washington has that they would be willing to trade worth those two picks. Maybe Campbell if SF thought it would be their QB for the future but that would mean Was would need to draft a QB in the first round.

It's no accident. They're working on a Cutler for Roethlisberger trade.
