Which RB is going to have the biggest impact before the draft?
Which RB do you feel will have the biggest impact after seeing where they got drafted?


I think Gerhart is going to have the biggest impact next year.The guy has great size and real nice football speed.Will run between tackles better then most think.Welcome other thoughts/opinions.

I agree that Gerhart will be a stud, but I think Spiller will have a bigger impact. The people who are complaining about his size are just nitpicking. He should have a long, Pro-Bowl career, IMO.

i know he`s a whippet...but spiller`s a situational back...not a guy who can carry the load....

i think he`s reggie bush/felix jones lite...and i doubt he`ll be as good as either...

if somebody takes him to be their linchpin,i think they`re gonna be disappointed...

just my opinion...

I doubt he is an every down back either. The Hawks need weapons. They have NONE. He can split the load and return kicks.

The Giants are hot for either Spiller or McClain & the rumor going around is that they will trade with Denver for either player. Since I'm a Giant fan, I am hoping for McClain.

I don't think Spiller will fall to 14, but i'm hoping he does. I wouldn't be surprised if Seattle trades down either.

Teams are going away from a franchise back to use multiple backs instead. Spiller is the perfect compliment back.

Btw, I like Ryan Matthews & think he will be a perfect pick for the Chargers. But they are suppose to be going for a d-lineman in the first pick & are very hot for Price from UCLA.

3 of their top 4 backs are coming off some kind of surgeries on their leg/feet so if they don't get Spiller they will take a back later in the draft.

Ryan Matthews fan myself....

and CJ Spiller will be better than Reggie Bush in the NFL but then again is that saying much?

and though he is listed as a Running Back, dexter mccluster may have the biggest impactnext season in situational plays, wildcat, special teams and the like...hes like a desean jackson clone

I would love to see them trade down, especially with the 14. However, if Okung is there at 6, I think they have to take him. If Okung isn't there, I would like them to take Berry because we can still get a stud LT at 14 or even lower. Hawks have TONS of needs, so I agree that stockpiling picks is probably the way to go.

I guess I'm alone on Spiller. Personally, I don't think 200 pounds is exactly a mite. If he proves he can't stay healthy then I can see him being a situational back, but until that time I don't see why he shouldn't get the bulk of a team's carries.
