Can we really pass on him if DAL doesnt take him?!

I dont know if anyone saw the E:60 a couple days ago, but there was a story on Lacy. He is as humble as they come. He's from NO and was a freshman when Katrina hit, had to live with another family for the rest of his HS career. I cant recall seeinh/hearing a more soft spoken, composed, intelligent player this highly touted in awhile.

 
seriously Merill Hoge nobody gives a #### about your opinion. Give us the pick and take your gimmick to the 4 letter network.

Like the pick though.

I actually like Bell, but thats a headscratcher of a pick considering who was available...decent chance he was there in the 3rd, no? They must really like him, so I will trust them on that.

 
Might be a little early for Bell. Well, obviously they liked him best of the RBs, I guess we'll see. I think I would have preferred Brown and Bell in the third.

 
I hate the pick. Not a fan Bell. We will regret passing on Lacy are more so passing on Brown or Taylor or Allen.

:doh: :wall: :wall: :rant: :rant: :rant: :X :X :hot: :censored: :censored:

Awful just awful. Lacy was there and we took Bell?

Correct me if I am wrong but the last Mich St player we drafted shot himself in the leg.....

Wow just wow

I hope the FO proves us wrong but that was a horrible pick IMO

As thrilled as I was with Jones, I'm equally unexcited by this pick.

Same, and I like Bell.

I said here and kept telling others, if its not Lacy, lets wait til the 3rd for a RB and Bell was at the top of the list of those guys I figured would be available for our pick in the 3rd.

While I like the player, considering what was on the board I dont understand taking Bell when they did.

The entire NFL has been passing on Lacy. Not just our FO.

At best he has fallen to the bottom of the 2nd.

Even the Packers who are as desperate as we are at RB (and good drafters too) just passed on him in the 2nd.

 
Is this the overweight guy who had 40 carries for 2 yards a carry against Boise State? Ugh. Hope I'm wrong about this pick, I think it sucks.

Le'Veon Bell rushes for 210 yards, 2 TDs as Spartans top Broncos

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- After 44 carries, six receptions and more yards than the entire Boise State team, Michigan State's Le'Veon Bell was too tired to say much.

"I had no idea how many carries or yards I had. It was the most I've had in my collegiate career," Bell said. "But I've still got a lot of things to work on to get better."

Bell's first game as the Spartans' featured running back was an exhausting one, but his second touchdown of the night -- with 8:12 remaining in the fourth quarter -- was enough to give No. 13 Michigan State a 17-13 victory over No. 24 Boise State on Friday.

03/17/13 - 2013 Michigan State Pro Day: Le’Veon Bell, RB (6-foot-1 3/4, 229 pounds) - Bell stood on his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine. He looked great in the positional workout, catching the ball very well out of the backfield. This is a player who could be picked up at the top of the second round (NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks has gone as far as to say that Bell is the best running back in the 2013 NFL Draft). For those old enough to remember former New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers running back Chuck Muncie, Bell’s playing style is reminiscent of him. Bell has gotten his weight down around 20 to 25 pounds. Former Houston Oilers and Michigan State running back Lorenzo White has been instrumental in working with Bell and making sure he keeps his weight down.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were well-represented at Michigan State’s pro day, with head coach Mike Tomlin, running backs coach Kirby Wilson, tight ends coach James Daniel, as well as general manager Kevin Colbert in attendance. Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and tight ends coach Jonathan Hayes were in attendance. Denver Broncos running backs coach Eric Studesville and Indianapolis Colts tight ends coach Alfredo Roberts were also there. - Gil Brandt, NFL.com

03/17/13 - 2013 Michigan State Pro Day: The scout said the three Spartans' underclassmen who elected to make themselves eligible for the NFL Draft - tailback Le'Veon Bell, tight end Dion Sims and defensive end Will Gholston - all have third-round draft grades. The scout emphasized that the draft grade doesn't necessarily indicate where they will get selected. "Bell, he could move up into the second round,'' he said. "He runs a lot like (Houston Texans taiback) Arian Foster. He's very instinctual, very patient, and he has a good feel for his blocking. He'll do really well in a zone-blocking scheme. He's not as effective when he tries to go outside, though.'' - Mike Griffith, Michigan Live

03/14/13 - 2013 Michigan State Pro Day: "A lot of people might look at me and say he's 230 pounds, he might be slow, or he can't catch the ball out of the backfield. I wanted to show people I'm quick...I can run routes, and I can catch the ball out of the backfield. Just show up and open some eyes today, and show people what I can do. I feel like I got out a lot of today." The scout agreed, telling me he'd "be surprised" if Bell slid out of the second day of the draft.

As the first MSU back to lead the Big Ten in rushing yards since similarly big, light-footed back TJ Duckett in 1990, Bell is well known to scouts. So too is the Spartans' tight end Dion Sims.

Nonetheless, he may be moving up draft boards after a solid showing of his own. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com

03/14/13 - 2013 Michigan State Pro Day: After conducting virtually all of the timed drills at the combine last month, Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bell only ran the long shuttle (11.46) and went through positional drills during the Spartans' Pro Day. Nevertheless, he caught the attention of one scout willing to speak anonymously following the workout. "He looked more natural catching the ball than I think a lot of people expected," the scout said. The scout wasn't the only one pleased with Bell's performance. The talented 6-1, 229-pound back was also happy. "Today I really wanted to show my ability to catch the ball and my ability to get in and out of cuts," said Bell, according to the university's official athletics' website. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com

03/01/13 - NFL teams ask prospects all kinds of crazy things at the combine. At least one question at the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine crossed the line with Colorado tight end Nick Kasa being asked if he "liked girls." And now we know of at least one more prospect whose sexuality was brought into question, as Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bell was asked by WDFN in Detroit whether he was asked about his sexuality. "Yeah, yeah, there were questions just like that," Bell said, via the Detroit News. "There were definitely a couple of weird questions. I got asked so many of them, I don't remember them all. But that was definitely a couple of questions I got asked." The NFL already said it would investigate the Kasa matter and how it went down. And it now likely will have a second investigation on its hands. The NFLPA certainly doesn't appreciate the questions being asked. - Will Brinson, CBSSports.com

Been chewing on this E Sanders thing a bit... and the more I think upon it, the more I believe the value lies with the 3rd round pick.

Does the experienced vet offer more value in 2013? Sure. But long term I think the additional 3rd works to our favor. I wont go into detail knocking Sanders, but lets just say he is serviceable and will be a free agent to command even more money next year. Where-as the 3rd offers you a LeVeon Bell or Marquise Goodwin type, and then potentially 4 years of dirt-cheap service.

If you could guarantee us getting Goodwin in the 3rd rd then I would swap for Sanders for the pick in a heartbeat.

While no top 10 studs like the last few years, this WR class is quite deep. If not Goodwin, someone worthwhile will be there in the mid 3rd (our pick) or late 3rd (NE pick).
