What would YOU do with Spencer

[Midswat]

I chose this option: Draft BPA round 1, draft BA OLB at 45.

That #45 pick would either be Irvin or Branch.

Branch won't be there at 45, and Irvin hates contact.

I'm at the point where I'd sign the guy long term. Not a blockbuster deal, but something reasonable.

The sack numbers haven't been impressive, but I think if we had a secondary worth a shat, or a DT who could collapse a pocket, then they would improve.

Don't forget if all the stars are in alignment as well, he'll have a chance. Demarcus Ware has to deal with all those factors (excuses) that you apply to Spencer with the secondary and the DT unable to collapse the pocket AND facing conmstant double-teams and occasional triple teams. Nonetheless, he still nets almost 20 sacks (3 times more than Spencer).

He's a good player. I don't think any of the guys in the draft would be a significant improvement.

Bullshit. I think either Branch or Irvin would be quite an upgrade and improvement over what we have in Spencer. But let's continue to pay for mediocrity.

Branch won't be there at 45, and Irvin hates contact.

Hardly.

Spencer is 28 and is already starting to slow down and sport a gut. He's not getting any better and he isn't the answer.

If you can get him on a 1 yr deal do it but please don't re-sign him to a multiple year deal thinking it'll get better.

Is there anyone else in this draft that you like besides Irvin and Branch?

At the OLB position? I'd be as happy with Perry, but not in the 1st. Sorry if I don't have a flavor of the week or day player like you.
