Matthews to enter NFL Draft

[SmootSmack]

Tough to say until we know where we are drafting. If we pick 6th, then we can probably take Okung in the 1st and then I'd look for someone like Matthews or Best (I'm sure Barnes would love that) in the second round. But if we draft around 12th, for example, then I think Okung is probably gone and, with the possible exception of Trent Williams, there is no top half of the first round OT worth taking. There I think you take CJ Spiller and then you can grab someone like Campbell, Davis, Baluga in the mid-second round.

Or they could wait until later and take my super sleeper James Starks out of Buffalo

If you're looking to add a feature back, then Matthews in the 2nd Round would be a far better pick than Spiller in the 1st Round, IMO. That's because Spiller is too small at 195 lbs. to have anything but a limited role whereas Matthews at 220 lbs. could carry the mail.

I think a lot would depend on whether Spiller can bulk up and still maintain his speed. Chris Johnson added 5 pounds from his college days where he's now 200, but he's still blazing fast.
