Draft So Far

Worst Move = Miami Dolphins, moving up for a guy who is hardly a sure thing.
Jedi Mind Trick = I don't know how Bellicheck manages to get so many extra draft pciks from the weak minded, deperate teams, but he keeps getting them.
Worst Draft Thus Far = Surprise surprise, the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets.
Jarvis Jones = Solid pick, but it could go either way. Obviously, this guy has to get into better shape, but I don't question his football heart and instincts.
Round 2 Wish = I personally am crossing my fingers for WR Hunter, but Woods would be a good consolation prize. They may have their pick of the three top ILBs in this draft, Brown, Teo or Minter....The other possibility for value is S Cyprien, but I personally prefer Shamarko Thomas in the third. I don't know if they are high on Franklin...I doubt Lacey lasts, but that would be simply marvelous. But, in the end, don't forget, there is an excellent defensive linman on the board, and I won't speak his name because i DON'T WANT TO JINX IT.

With Jones, he has the nose for the ball,but running 4.9 playing outside at his age now,this could be a mess

Jarvis Jones has a damn good college career, however I really dont think you will get much more then 3 decent years out of him with the neck injury and the Spinal Stenosis, after his body starts taking the punishment the NFL dishes out I think that will be the beginning of the end for Jones, I really wish him the best no mater what team he plays for, I dont wish anyone to suffer pain and the disease Jones has, IMO it was a big gamble taking him in the 1st but if it worksd out he is going to be pretty good LB is he can get some speed, plus his strength and conditioning lacks some as well.

As for Bell, I didn't expect that pick...I was screaming for Lacey. Bell is a huge guy with incredibly quick feet, so the ceiling is very high. When I watch the tape, I see a smooth, patient runner with good vision. I thought Lacey's vision was similarly good, but the Steelers preferred Bell in the passing game, as he has good blocking and receiving skills, making them consider him a three down back. That's what solidified their decision, and they claim he was the second round target all along. I was praying for Hunter, but I knew it wouldn't happen.
