Thoughts on Yeremiah Bell?
- Thread starter phinfan27
- Start date
I've read nothing but great things about him
If the guy hadnt injured his knee he'd have been one of the top Safeties taken in the draft. In fact, he was projected to go mid to late round one. Thats exciting! He is the draft pick I am MOST interested in and I guess the equivalent of what the Bills did with their first rounder, taking an guy that was projected a top 10 player with a major injury mid to late round one. Only we got our guy much later in the draft. Both players should be starters that impact if they recover and play as before. Bell's injury wasnt as horrific as the high inpact injury MaGahee had. Nonetheless it seems Magahee is healing well, whereas I have no idea where Bell is with his injury. Thing is with major knee injuries, that even IF a player can come back from it he rarely is the same Player. Look at Edge James as a prime example. Before his injury he was one of the leagues most dangerous players. Last season he had recovered from his knee injury well enough to play, but clearly isn't back 100% yet. He may never get there. Only time will tell on James, MaGahee, and Bell. All were great players, but the thing to watch is if they make it back to that high level of play.
I'd think it would be easier for a FS to recover position wise than an RB, and he could even move to SS if he's lost a step whereas an RB is pretty much stuck position wise.
If anyone has some details on Bell's injury status, etc i'd really like to hear it. I have high hopes for Bell!

A lot of people were saying he would have been a first rounder if he didn't get injured, but he wouldn't have been. He comes from a D1-AA school and he said he was 25. He still sounds like a good prospect who could make the team though.
Ice - What are you basing this on? Everything I could find back on draft day from before his injury (draft projection a year ahead) said mid to late round 1.....why don't you think he would have been an early pick?

His injury marks him for PUP or Developmental this year IMO...
Next year he can replace Wooden or Marion on Roster
From a TB Bucs fan
"Dolphins have gotten the steal of the draft
CB Yeremiah Bell, Eastern Kentucky
4.46 in the 40-yard dash … 340-pound bench press … 485-pound squat … 33-inch vertical jump … 9-foot-8 broad jump … 31 5/8-inch arm length … 8¼-inch hands … Right-handed.
Only problem is he blew his knee out and didnt play in 2002. All-Amercian in 2001. Dolphins selected him in the 6th round(223rd overall)."

His college record/injury history sounds a lot like Arturro Freeman. Projected as a high round pick, got injuried his senior year, got drafted late. Freeman basically "redshirted" his first year with the fins, played dime his second and started his third. I would love it if Bell does as well......................or better!
