Everything went well, tumor is completely gone after a 7 hour surgery. Said the tumor was larger than a golf ball and looks to be benign. I just want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. Everyone spoke and the man upstairs was listening!
Btw- I amglad we got a good guard late in the draft, I think he may have some great long term potential with the zone blocking scheme. He should be an upgrade over studdard.
Hey guys I'm going to be out of town this weekend. I'm going to PM JC my big board, just making it public knowledge just in case anything happens and it comes down to a group vote. Glad to hear the great news as well Shaft75!!!
The Bears select Joel Bell OT Furman
6 feet 7 312lbs.
Bell finished in the top ten in every positional workout at the combine.
Away from the combine, Bell worked in drills run be the colts line coaches. This workout drew scouts from 25 other NFL teams, including the Texans.
Bell is inexperienced in playing football due to living overseas for 11 years. He returned to the U.S. in 2001. Started high school football n 2003. Did not play his freshman year at Furman.
For the three years he did play college ball, he was selected all conference at left tackle. He was graded at 91.7 by his coaches for his career.
Bell is smart and coachable. He was named to the conference all academic honor roll.
Bell is inexperienced and played at a small school. But his athleticism, size, and ability to take to coaching are impressive. Could, with coaching, become a very good left tackle in the pros.
This is what makes going deeper into draft rounds fun, for me at least.
I have never heard of this kid, until I starting researching O linemen. He looks like he could become a very good player at a very low pick.
I vote for Phillip Hunt
I wanted Alex Boone for the Jets though. LOL
Tampa Bay is a group pick.
Right now, they've drafted:
19 - Peria Jerry, DT
81 - Victor Harris, CB
116 - Mohamed Massaquoi, WR
147 - Brandon Tate, WR
Their Team needs are supposed to be:
Urgent - Fast DT, Franchise QB
Strong - Starting WR, Corner
Moderate - Fast RB, Tackle, CB for Dime
Nice - Center, WR, DE
I don't see anything that really matches up with their needs. The best values I have on my board that kinda fit are:
Christopher Owens, CB
Morgan Trent, CB
Jerraud Powers, CB
Corey Irvin, DE/DT - Hasn't this guy already been selected? Did I miss that?
Stephen McGee, QB
The highest rated tackles I've got on the board are:
Andre Gardner
Jose Valdez
Alex Boone
I think I'm picking Alex Boone at this spot but I could be persuaded to go with one of the CB's.
Boone sounds like a good pick here in the 6th. I don't know about a corner, though, they've already drafted Harris & still have Talib & Barber on their roster. I like Trent at this point, though.
If Alex Boone is available then go for it. From what I know they have always had offensive line problems and with a raw QB under center they need all the protection they can provide. Defense would be nice here if you can find someone who fits there system ebacuse the Bucs are known for defense.
The page I got those needs from said that Ronde ain't Ronde anymore.
Well, I would go with either Trent or Boone here.
With the 181st pick, the Eagle select...
Bradley Fletcher - CB

~ Adds great depth, productive CB with good hands and a tremendous special teams player.

Well it looks like Dallas owns my 7th round pick. So my day is done.
Round 1 Pick 1 - Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
Round 1 Pick 20 - Eben Britton, OT, Arizona
Round 2 Pick 33 - Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech
Round 3 Pick 65 - Shawn Nelson, TE, Southern Miss
Round 3 Pick 82 - Darry Beckwith, ILB, L.S.U.
Round 6 Pick 161 - Jeremiah Johnson, RB, Oregon
Round 6 Pick 179 - Tony Fiammetta, FB, Syracuse
Obviously I wish I went more defense, but I feel good with getting my QB of the future and giving him the tools to be successful. Plus I can go all defense next year when he actually starts. This gives him a year to get to know his new targets, and team, plus defenders can come in day 1 and do very good things.
Well it looks like Dallas owns my 7th round pick. So my day is done.
Mine too. Denver owns Atlanta's 7th round pick.
Round 1 Pick 24. Clay Matthews, OLB, USC
Round 2 Pick 55. Patrick Chung, S, Oregon
Round 3 Pick 90. Keenan Lewis, CB, Oregon State
Round 4 Pick 121. Chris Baker, DT, Hampton
Round 5 Pick 135. Bear Pascoe, TE, Fresno State
Round 5 Pick 152. Tyronne Green, OG, Auburn
Round 6 Pick 183. Brandon Williams, DE, Texas Tech
Coming in the Falcons biggest needs were DT, LB, TE & CB. I feel like I addressed all of them without reaching on anyone. I probably should have addressed the DT position sooner in the draft, but I think Baker is a good pick in the 4th. With the way the draft turned out I feel Matthews was the obvious pick.
I think they should take a LB.
They may need to pick a QB to start grooming behind Collins.![]()
