Le'Veon Bell on TribeLive Radiothis morning

Definitely a reach. I have been hearing buzz of him being the best RB in this draft, because he's more well rounded than a guy like Lacy (who's falling because of his lack of workouts).

I think if we want him we'd have to take him in the 2nd.

 

i have seen him as the forth of fifth best back. i dont think there is a big difference in the top 6. i think he will be there in the 3rd. lacy and bell are the 2nd rounders in my opinion

 

This is obviously just one opinion (from nfl.com no less), but for conversation's sake...

From the article:
...one AFC official...wonders if Bell views himself as a "dancer," rather than a pounder with the ball in his hands.

Hmmm. And just who does this sound like???


Seriously, if we do draft him I hope we don't reach for him at 17. If we wanted to trade down in the 1st round and pick up some extra draft picks I'd be okay with it.

 

With the new rule passed today, running backs are gonna have to be dancers in the new NFL, rather than pounders.

 

Eventually every RB is going to be like Reggie Bush and they're just going to be an extra receiver that lines up in the backfield.

 

I think he is on the Steelers Radar.

 

Ditto. Maybe the highest I'd go is late 2nd, if we traded back and it was our third pick. But we have too many needs to go RB that high.

 

Not really since inside the tackle box they can still lower their head. Once you are out of there a shoulder and forearm will do. Jim Brown said he never used his helmet he would only use his shoulder or hit the with a forearm shiver.

 

This would be correct, the Steelers are going to draft a RB, Its just which round there going to select him
This player will have to be ready to go quickly.

 

i read DLB wants vaccaro in the first. bell however has turned alot of heads in his workouts, showing he can pound it, get outside and catch the ball as well if not better then any RB in the draft. his speed was better then most first thought too. he does have that cutback ability for the ZBS. i wouldn't have a problem if they deciced to grab him in the 2nd if they thought he was their man.

they are saying franklin won't make it out of the 2nd round. lacy will go then and you know how these drafts go, once someone takes a position, it could start a run at that position.

if he's their guy they may decide to pull the trigger since RB is a pretty big need. i like him alot. the kid has proven to be a capable talent. let's face it we need some firepower on the offensive side of the ball.
