What's strange is that Bell was supposed to have the best hands on the team, but he's cause two interceptions after the ball popped off his hands.

Yet he's been amazing after the catch. Not sure I expected that but he's 100% deserving of a roster spot.

Can't wait to see him field a punt in the rain vs the Giants.

I think he has great hands (he's had some amazing catches in practice), I think it's just a focus thing, takes his eye off the ball before he catches it as he's trying to get YAC. I'm not too concerned - I'm glad he's learning this the hard way during pre season and hopefully fixes it for the regular season.

I just can't help to laugh how this organization finds studs in the 5th and beyond yet you're praying they find anything worth a damn 1-4

My theory is ShannyLynch select the early round guys and rely on the scouts on the later round picks. If so, they should digress all the picks to the scouts, who are doing phenomenal in the later rounds.

This. They probably only know the first hundred or so players which they seem to rank poorly.

Let the scouts do it all imo.

He's a dog when Dante Pettis was a cat.

I forget the actual numbers, but there is a cutoff point in the first round that a player becomes more likely to fail in the NFL then have multiple contract success over a course of seasons. Basically some one you can pencil in to a position and forget about him for more then a season or two.

I forget exactly how that factoid was worded, but it made sense....the odds of say a random LB coming into the league and staying a starter for more then one NFL contract is less then a coin flip outside of the early to mid part of the first round.

Even the best and brightest minds fail at the NFL Draft with alarming regularity. So whoever we have that keeps finding these impact players on day two...needs to get paid and promoted.

Don't be fooled by Conley. Feels like a Sherfield in the making. Bell is good tho

WOW. What would it look like if Purdy Boy Brock and RonB developed a chemistry where they were unstoppable
