I'll second Dexter McCluster from Ole Miss. Would be worth trading up into the 3rd round to grab him.

Bingo. Devine is reportedly leaning towards returning, however.

C.J. Spiller looks like a dangerous man. He could be a weapon in the running game and in the passing game. A great deal of people make comparisons between him and Chris Johnson. Though their height and weight are similar, Spiller seems to have a slighter build than Johnson. I'm not saying that he hasn't pounded the rock in between the tackles.

What I am concerned with is his ability to do the same in the NFL and still stay healthy. He has a tendancy to get dingled up a little. With his talent level and injury history, I say we take a look at him in the second round. If he's not available, Ryan Matthews or Javid Best are other great options in the bottom of the second round.

Spiller, Devine, McCluster. Given the depth at DE/OLB in this draft I could see us using a first round pick to grab Spiller if he falls. He's absolute electric. Not only would he replace Kevin Faulk in the passing game, but he could line up at WR in the slot opposite Welker or come in like a Felix Jones type of back and get 1 carry and take it to the house. He would also greatly improve our special teams on KR. We've struggled to find a good KR since Hobbs was traded. Spiller is probably one of the best KR I have ever seen. Once he gets going no one is going to catch him.

That Ellington kid on Clemson is also lightning in a bottle. He's a guy to keep your eye on for years to come.

Intersting, but why Faulk and not Maroney or Morris or Taylor?

+1. I know he suffered a severe leg injury but Faulk did as well early in his career. Assuming hes back to full strength next year, Washington would look great in a Patriot Uni.

Even if just as a kick returner.
