Any way you can get your boy to register here? I'm fascinated by his story.

He is a HUGE NY Giants fan. You can post your comments at the end of the article. I did.

So Spiller is a slut?

No, his ex-wife/ex-girlfriend is. I don't think this article is really about Spiller.

I stopped reading after the first couple sentances. We did have a hole more glaring than Offensive line. Nose Tackle.

I am so sick of hearing about Bulaga. The guy has arms that are slightly longer than a T-Rex's.

He's going to get eaten alive by NFL DE's and will wind up at guard just like Gallery.

davis and bulaga would have been terrible value picks at number 9

we had almost the worst run d in the league we addressed that

we added a dynamic playmaker on an inept offense

our rookie lineman have competition and have a year under their belt and will be better if there aren't so many injuries.

this guy is overreacting

Haven't we read this article by 12 other writers in the past week?

Yeah, but not this poorly written.

In all honesty, I don't mind people criticise us for the Spiller pick. I understand their argument, even along Nix's line of thinking: we want someone who can contribute right away.

Spiller will contribute right away. But even Nix admitted that he's not an everydown back. That's what I think some people have problem with it.

Truthfully I think the Bills were a little bit in a bind: we didn't have a slam dunk no brainer like a Suh. Much like the Taxens had during the Reggie Bush was coming out, the question is do you spend that high a draft pick on a non-everydown player? Texans chose Mario Williams, which would've gone 2nd overall if Bush were picked first. The Bills' choices are between Spiller and Dan Williams, who ultimately went in the mid-20s, obviously not rated as high as Spiller by almost everyone.

There is no denying the talent of Spiller at #9 for everyone. Ultimately it's in how we use him this year and the development of himself.

I see him as a regular 20 carry guy as a RB which means we need someone else to carry the ball the other 15 times. In the ideal world, that person would be Lynch, not Jackson type of back.

Some people will point to Miami's pick of Ginn and note the similarity here: offensive minded HC who think they can use a midget multi-threat speed guy. Well Ginn is was far from consensus top 10 guy and WR's impact is far less than a RB as far as a dominant player goes. That's why I feel pretty good about this pick.

Whoa. Bet you had to dust that one off a little bit before throwing it out there.
