Interesting Draft Find

[ServoBillieves]

I usually pick up Pro Football Draft Guide every year. It's moreover a poor decision for someone who loves combine numbers, but does evaluate college talent and who plays well in-game.

I just took a look at their pre-combine draft board and found some interesting.... finds...

300 players were on their draft big board... Here are our picks/FA pick ups as they were ranked.

#11) C.J. Spiller, RB
#60) Alex Carrington, DE
#78) Kyle Calloway (talk about slipping...), OG
#97) Torrell Troup, DT
#148) Joique Bell, RB
#160) Ed Wang, LT
#162) Marcus Easley, WR
#213) Antonio Coleman, DE/LB
#234) Danny Batten, LB
#244) Levi Brown, QB
#246) Naaman Roosevelt, WR
#264) Stephan Virgil, CB

Respectively, they were drafted 9, 72, 216, 41, UDFA, 140, 107, UDFA, 192, 209, UDFA, UDFA.

I plan on posting the write ups for them soon but... well I'm too tired tonight. Overall I couldn't believe Calloway was ranked 78th, Joique Bell went undrafted (Draftboy made a good call on that one), and that according to them, we would've made 11 draft-worthy picks.

Doesn't matter anymore, since they're all on an NFL roster and were at different times, just sayin' how the combine changes things.

Somewhere, at this very moment, Draftboy is doing a because we signed Joique Bell.

Wait for poll...

Done, and done.

Re: Interesting Draft Find

Whats the deal with Joique Bell? What is so special about him.

Thanks Hargrove for the research. I feel like Nix and Co. did a great job drafting football players who both fit the scheme, and can be coached into it.

Re: Interesting Draft Find

Bell is going to have a hard time making this roster unless Lynch or Jackson are traded. I think he is a prime candidate for the PS but I am not sure he will last there long as another team with a RB need will snatch him up.

Re: Interesting Draft Find

I doubt Lynch or Jackson will be on the punt or kick cover units, so that's a spot that Bell can take...

Re: Interesting Draft Find

When I watch Bell's tape two things jump out at me.

He's slow.

The competition he played against sucked and it shows on the film.

At least he made plays, but I don't necessarily see in him what Draftboy does.

There's a reason he went undrafted.

Re: Interesting Draft Find

How exactly does Bell make this team if Lynch is staying ? They are not keeping four rb's.

If they are going to be 'run first', they could well keep 4 RBs.

Especially if they get rid of the FB.

Its not hard to see it happening, especially when you have one player a mistake away from a suspension and almost no need for a FB. Bell is likely a PS guy though for this year.

This surprises me. To my knowledge we only have McIntyre on the roster as FB, but in a run-heavy offense, wouldn't a fullback be a must? Someone needs to pave the way for the back if he's hitting the hole to take out a LB or pesky safety. I thought for sure we'd pick one up in the draft.
