The draft is all about finding "players" not highlight reels or workout wonders. <br /><br />McClain or Spiller will be there for the giants, we will draft one of them and be immensely satisfied.<br /><br />to the posts about Haynesworth, the 32 million in the first year has already been paid to him, the team that picks him up pays the remainder of the guaranteed money and roster bonuses, which could be as little as 9 million for 2 seasons (it escalates if he stays past 2012). This is not a bad deal, money wise. Plus the redskins do not want him so they have little bargaining power. he may be out of shape, but i think it says a lot that the Titans want him back, and his old Def coor (now head coach) in Detroit want him too...<br /><br />..worth the risk IMOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-67485997452454736722010-04-06T23:50:03.393-04:002010-04-06T23:50:03.393-04:00Hey Dan, You make it sound like RH played only 3 g...Hey Dan, You make it sound like RH played only 3 games.

Plus, meat and potato guys are found in rounds two plus. I include running backs in that as well.<br /><br />Here is the thing. MLB is an obvious hole, but Reese still has options both outside(Kirk Morrison anyone?) and inside the team. Taking a running back is always risky. I know CJ Spiller has a great highlight reel. So did Ron Dayne! Personally, I just don't trust RB's in round 1 and the rate of injury / durability is so low here. I know you can do great but it can also blow up.<br /><br />I put all that together and I would stay pat or trade down for extra picks if McClain is gone. I'm with those who thing CJ Spiller won't be here by the way. The one thing about Spiller and his highlight reel is someone will bite because he would sell seats.<br /><br />Chris B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-63328696104485940242010-04-06T17:46:03.683-04:002010-04-06T17:46:03.683-04:00I'm not too keen on mcclain.
