I think we’ve seen his upside already. He should be fine but like you said, he fell for a reason. And has a major pec injury and plays a position that isn't highly valued. Truthfully though, it's the "what an abomination this is" ... is the stuff thats silly to me. Oh well though. Another big day! 4 picks for the Shoe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 I love the draft. Always have. It’s probably the single biggest educator for me about players across the whole league. You hear about so and so center on the Seahawks and that he’s good and you can remember him getting drafted so it resonates. I hate to tell the “in my day” stories but when I was a kid you’d just get the full list of players in the paper (which was fun). To think where it’s come, it’s amazing. @Seeking6 Had a great point and I stole it last night. The NFL is like Apple. They’ve got us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Love football, specifically NFL football. Watch zero minutes of the draft. Much better things to do with 15 hours of my life than listen to a bunch of talking heads go on about a lot of players I have never heard of. About once an hour or two I'll check my phone to see who the Colts and Vikings drafted, and if any IU guys went. As I said, love football. Do not care for the hold the NFL has on the sporting scene. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 I don't like rounds 4-7 as much because they seem to gloss over the picks. There is to many interviews and talking about everything but the draft picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Any chance Micah McFadden starts inching up the best available list? Hopefully we get a couple guys called at some point today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 For us Bears fans. Poles has turned 3 picks into 7 today. Now we have to start drafting but total roster overhaul taking place. Also thought it was smart to trade back the 6th they got in Mack trade for 2 end of 7th round picks. No reason to compete with 31 other teams tonight once UDFA starts.

What blows me away is the memory, retention.....you could rattle off 3 no name players from Washington St, Tulsa, and Eastern Maryland and my man can give you a 30 second pitch on anyone. I'm just blown away sometimes with his recall. I'm going to wait and see how things shake out today. I wanted the Bears to take Bell at 71 but apparently all of the GM's see something from him that made him fall so much. In a league where offense is paramount I can see Poles wanting his secondary to be strong....but we need to put up points too! This better be all offense today for Bears. I think with Bell they looked at his 40 time and some of the other stats and that played a role. I get that to an extent but at the same time, he absolutely tore up one of the best leagues in college football for 3 years when Rondale was there and after he left when Bell was THE guy defenses had to key in on. It’s not like he was a burner in college that just didn’t test well. He was a stud because of his route-running and ability to not only catch damn near everything but make several near-impossible catches too. I’d be shocked if that doesn’t translate to the NFL and I think plenty of GM’s will regret passing on him tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was picked exactly where he should be. The 3rd round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 The Colts draft picks might be a good basketball team as well. 6'4 WR Pierce. 6'7 TE Woods. 6'7 TE Ogletree. That goes with 6'6 former basketball player and now TE Mo Allie Cox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is with the fact that 15 wide receivers went before him. No way there are 15 better wide receivers than Bell in this class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
