Yeah, he was worth a first round pick. GO BLUE!

Cincy got a better value out of Perry than we got from C-Rog, that's for sure...

Even if the Lions sign or draft a RB, I'd like to see them take a chance on a kid from Wayne State. Unfortunately, he may end up getting drafted, but if he doesn't, I think he'd prefer to sign with his home state team as an UDFA. His name is Joique Bell and he's 6 foot, 224 lbs, and runs around a 4.55. He was also just named the best player in Division II this year.
Detroit News wrote: Wayne State's Joique Bell wins Harlon Hill Trophy
Gregg Dewalt / Special to The Detroit News
Florence, Ala. -- Joique Bell accumulated statistics almost beyond belief on the football field for Wayne State throughout a star-studded career.
In 2009 alone, Bell rushed for 2,084 yards for the Warriors and scored 29 touchdowns, both NCAA Division II bests. He also led the nation with 17.5 points per game and all-purpose yards with 217.5 yards per game.
The two numbers that mattered most Friday night for the senior from Benton Harbor were 31 and 138. Those were the number of first-place votes and total points Bell received as the winner of the Harlon Hill Trophy, an award presented annually to the most outstanding player in Division II.
"It's truly a blessing from where I come from to receive such a prestigious award of many great players," Bell said. "It's truly an honor for me, my school and my community. This is an award I not only share with my school, but with my community. I can't tell you how much it means to me."
Bell edged out West Liberty (WV) quarterback Zach Amedro and Arkansas Tech quarterback Nick Graziano for the award.
Bell accepted the trophy with several family members and Wayne State coach Paul Winters in attendance.
"Joique accomplished so much and this was an acknowledgment for that," Winters said. "It's a tremendous honor for him and it means a lot to the university, the team and me personally. I'm very proud of him."
Voting was conducted by sports information directors at the 149 football-playing Division II colleges and universities. Bell is the fourth consecutive running back to win.
Bell, only the fourth player in Division II history with two 2,000-yard rushing seasons, finished his career with 6,728 rushing yards and 576 points, sixth and fourth best in Division II history.
"I put in countless hours of hard work to become a great player. And, it all paid off," Bell said. "I think this is tremendous for the program. It's great publicity for the school. I feel it will help recruiting because people will see we have a Harlon Hill winner and they'll say, 'If he can do it why can't I?' "

Cincy also took Chris Perry with a late midround pick... We took CRog #2 overall... Look at the price of each of those TD's and you'll see that Cincy was much better off with their player than we were with ours...

I wouldn't mind if we traded for W. McGahee (I thing the Ravens would let him go for a reasonable offer) and signed L. Washington to be our RB combo next year. I think we would be buying low on both of them and they both have nice upside. McGahee is a pounder that can move the chains while Washington is fantastic in space and catching the ball out of the backfield. He also solves our return game issues as he is truly a game changer in that category. I'm not sure if this is even a reasonable suggestion - just throwing out an idea.

Guys fall all the time, I think we can nab someone in round 3 or 4 to start to solidify the spot. I still think you need a primary back to be your main rusher... I'm all for 3rd and 4th round guys behind him, but I'd like to have a talent at RB. So since we lost our third round RB to injury we should draft one in the first

During his time here thus far he has been nothing more than average...

OK, so you'd be for a first or second round being used whether he was hurt or not?

I'm not sold on CJ Spiller, but if we could get an every down primary back and either use K Smith as a 3rd down back or trade him (and use Brown as a 3rd down back) I'd be all for it.
There simply aren't any backs rated in the top 5 this year, and probably none ranked in the top 10 (Spiller may end up being ranked in the top 10, but I don't like him). But IMO a true primary running back would help our offense more than any other position. We need a guy that can take it to the house, and that isn't K Smith.

Adrian Peterson? You think you could have gotten him lower?
I love taking an early 1st round RB when there is a great one available.
