Re: Vonn Bell soaking up knowledge with Saints
Tough one for me. I love the Rankins pick, but DT's aren't very sexy and their stats often go unnoticed. He may have a great game and not record a single tackle or sack. QB's see pressure up the gut and avoid it by throwing it too early or backing up into an OLB sack. Often the only time they get the glory is in film review with teammates and coaches who know who really caused the sack. Thomas is in that unenviable position that if he doesn't look like a 25 year old Marques Colston right away, people are gonna whine about it. I personally love this pick but he'll probably struggle early as most WR's do. I think Bell is going to be that ballhawk we haven't had since Darren Shraper. He'll either play right away, or at least force Byrd to earn it. Thats a win-win. Oneyamata is your typical late round project with freakish upside. You just can't tell about those guys. Excited but guarded. Lasco... I'm still surprised he lasted so long. But I guess the devaluation of RB's extends past the 1st round as well. I think by year end he'll be our #2 RB. |
