Lots of players to keep an eye on in this one...

Sunday evening’s Music City Bowl offers pro scouts one last chance to watch Clemson RB C.J. Spiller (#28, 5-10, 195), the ACC player of the year. Spiller, who ran for 1,145 years in 2009 while averaging almost 14 yards on 33 receptions, is also arguably the top senior RB prospect in the upcoming draft class. And with sprinter speed, Spiller who reportedly runs the 40 in the 4.3 area figures to be one of the star’s of the pre-draft workout regimen. Fast as he is, though, Spiller isn’t the fastest prospect on the Clemson team as WR Jacoby Ford (#6, 5-9, 185) is arguably the fastest player in all of college football. Clemson has a couple of other top 75 prospects in OLB Ricky Sapp (#7, 6-3, 240), yet another Tiger with special speed and quickness for the position, along with rugged C/G Thomas Austin (#65, 6-3, 315). And the Tigers could have an even greater impact on the early going of the 2010 draft if any of talented juniors DeAndre McDaniel (#2, 6-0, 200), a ball-hawking FS, LT Chris Hairston (#61, 6-5, 325) and DT Jarvis jenkins (#99, 6-3, 310) opt to leave school early this winter. Meanwhile, TE Michael Palmer (#86, 6-4, 250), CBs Chris Chancellor (#38, 5-9, 165) and Crezdon Butler (#18, 5-11, 185) and LB Kavell Conner (#33, 6-0, 225) all have later round possibilities.

Kentucky won’t have any where near the impact on the 2010 draft as Clemson, but does several solid veterans including CB Trevard Lyndley (#32, 5-11, 180), one of the top senior corners in this year’s draft, full-sized, run-stuffing MLB Micah Johnson (#4, 6-2, 260) and SSLB Sam Maxwell (#50, 6-2, 250), a good coverage backer who picked off 6 passes this past season. None of the three, though, is overly fast or athletic although Lyndley should get some serious consideration starting in the latter part of the second round. Meanwhile, DT Corey Peters (#91, 6-3, 295), OT Zipp Duncan (#72, 6-5, 295) and FB John Connor (#38, 5-10, 240) are late round or free agent prospects.

How could you argue that paying a RB is stupid, but drafting one 3rd overall and paying them 30 million in guarantees is a smart move?

I think Spiller is special too, but there's no way you take him 3rd overall.

I make exceptions for rare players, 99% of the time I would never take a RB that high, Spiller is the 1%.

Spiller scored in every game this year lets not draft him.

Are you kidding? I brought up not drafting Berry and drafting Chancellor in round 2 and every on here flamed me.
