Not that it wouldn't be great to have Spiller and Charles.

This team is SO weak up the middle, that I think it's a perfectly reasonable argument to say that a guy like McClain could have as big of an impact as a dynamic player who fits into one of the "traditional" playmaker roles.
It's just awfully hard for me to think about drafting an ILB that high, though.
I don't think the drop-off is as steep if we can get a guy like Spikes at the top of round 2. Lots of mocks have him falling this far, but I'm not sure that will actually happen.
