Depends where the Saints (hypothetically) draft him. If we were to get him in the 4th round, I’d have no issue with us taking a chance on him. He imo is a top 3 RB in this class in terms of pure talent. Obviously the medical stuff is going to play a factor though. With that said, if we were to get 3-4 good years out of him, that would be a quality use of a 4th round pick.
A guy like Todd Gurley had about 4 great years before his knee started to become an issue then had a couple decent years after. We obviously wouldn’t be putting in anywhere near that investment with a day 3 pick on Spears in this scenario and if we got a quality RB (even if it’s just for 1 contract) that would be well worth the pick. We’ve seen he is capable of playing at a high level this past year with the knee issue, so this doesn’t concern me much in the short term.
