Good Luck tonight David Bell...

[SLoopBoiler]

It is hard pressed to find a player in the last 25 years of Purdue football that I have as much respect for in regards to character and class as David Bell.
Just understated class & character, humble but fierce, true to himself, family, and those around him. Like Brohm, I did not agree with him sitting out the bowl game, mostly because he
would have tore it up and shown even more to the league what Purdue fans know, but regardless I pray for the best for him, because he deserves it.

Yes, go boilers. So excited to see these guys take the next step. Karlaftis tonight, bell in the mid rounds, Horvath in there somewhere and then hopefully Anthrop as a GA at Purdue!

 

[RDUBoiler]

He'll always be one of my favorite Boilers. He's worked hard for everything he has achieved. Great talent, great competitor. He seems like one of those under-the-radar guys who'll make his NFL team better, no matter when he gets drafted.

 

[Pmayor]

If he goes to either New England or Green Bay (yuck) he’ll be one of the steals in this draft. Either way, someone is getting a hell of a football player.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Would love to see Bell to go to a team like the Chargers with a young gunslinger like Herbert.

 

[Purdue80]

Or join George in KC. They traded their best receiver in the off season and the media had expected the team to draft a WC last evening, and they didn't. Couldn't get much better than catching passes from Mahomes for the next decade or so!

Go David! I think he goes by 94

so Bell is ?'d about his 4.6 time. Last night when Kiper was whining about Hamilton and Lloyd dropping because of 4.6 speed , he said they are productive players that's all you need to know, it's better to have guys like that than 4.4 guys that are just running around the field doing nothing. Some of these experts just say whatever to fit their narrative.

Hoping the bears get him at 71. Would get a lot of targets.

 

[bashfan]

Lot of WR already drafted ahead of him.

13 picked in first 54 picks. Wow.

 

[POTFHBTFU]

Assuming Jags will pick a WR with one of their early 3rd round picks

 

[purduepat1969]

Someone is going to get a bargain. He may actually slide to round 3...

 

[rezzerfly]

obligatory 'merika moment.

 

[rezzerfly]

What are your thoughts so far on Ballard?

 

[rezzerfly]

(just tonight, obvi)..don't think about the past.

 

[POTFHBTFU]

Bears picked Velus Jones Jr over him!?

Bears picked Velus Jones Jr over him!?

Velus Jones ran a 4.31 40 at the combine and is a slot receiver.

 

[BSIT]

Whoever gets him will get the steal of the draft. Just hope it’s not the Lions

He will get the last laugh. Is he going to outpace corners to the end zone after yac? No. But he will be plenty productive for at least 6 years, probably 8.

I’m still sticking to my prediction that he will have a more productive career than Rondale Moore

A good route runner always wins in the NFL. Speed is only ‘so good’
