I don't get why you think Bell is athletic. He is slower than Strachan, Patmon and Paschal (who is a good 3rd or 4th receiver because he is so slow). Stachan has a better shuffle, cone, 40 yard dash, high jump and is 3 inches taller. At that he was a 7th round choice and is a long shot to do anything. Ballard loves him his measurables. I grant you that measurables are not everything, Jerry Rice ran a 4.71-but who besides Jerry Rice can compete on that level with that 40 time. Maybe his non measurables are off the charts and he is another Steve Largent (4.7-4.9). I admit I don't follow college football and appreciate the expertise here. I'll be interested in where he goes in the draft.

Campbell RAS - 9.76
Strachan RAS - 9.22
Patmon RAS - 8.44
Pittman RAS - 8.24
Pascal RAS - 8.18
Fountain RAS - 8.01
Cain RAS - 6.48
Bell RAS - 2.72

You can argue that Bell is a playmaker regardless of his athletic ability, but he definitely doesn’t fit the mold for what Ballard tends to draft.

Would you all be into us trading with the Giants for James Bradberry? Personally, he wasn't a guy that was really on my radar but must fit Gus Bradley's D like a glove for them to pursue him in particular.

I wonder what kind of trade value he would garner? I sure hope we don't give up any more picks, and would prefer a straight up player for player trade ala RYS and YN.
Who becomes expendable and preferable to the Giants at this point? Perhaps Blackmon/Willis? Kelly? Hines? (doubtful) but who can know? We know CB loves them picks....

He has been productive all 3 years in college and plays his best in the biggest games (11-240) at #2 Iowa he dominated the game. His combine numbers didn’t match his 3 year production = 232 catches 2946 yards 21 TD 11 games over 100 yards

Purdue played 3 ranked teams this year Bell had:
@OSU 11-103
MSU 11-217-1TD
Iowa. 11-240-1TD

He missed 1 game in 3 years

His base salary is around 13 but I read that he would count around 21 against the cap. Apparently the Giants may be willing to eat some of that, but even so, seems like a big gamble to expect a guy to elevate his play enough to be worth it. What happened with Rhodes can’t be the expectation.

Lots of college players do. He might still be good. Cooper Kupp ran a slow 40. But with athleticism that bad, things are stacked against him.

Goddamn it, Parris. Quit breaking yourself. I'd like to see what a full season looks like.

We've all been saying that for years. I don't think Plaster of Parris has a chance. Hope I'm wrong.

He doesnt play slow

Patmon. Hmmmm. maybe he can do it
