Beanie Wells Pro Day Discussion (1 Viewer)

[Chachi]

OSU Pro Day today. Looking forward to seeing how Beanie does. It looked like he didn't train or wasn't coached up on the mechanics of running a good 40 at the combine, if he drops a good chunk of time off I will take that as his true 40 because he stood out as a guy who didn't maximize his 40. We'll see today if this kid was smart enough to get coached up on what would give him a nice boost for his draft stock and his earning potential on a rookie contract. If he goes anywhere in the 4.4's he will be #1 on my RB board regardless of what any other RB does.

Please post any of his results when they come in, I will be doing some searches to see if I can find anything periodically.

Wells isnt an elite prospect. He ran a 4.6 because he is that fast. He might run a bit faster, as most players do at their Pro day, but he probably wont run faster than a 4.5. Even if he does, he is still a two down back, and 2nd tier prospect.

What would he have to run for you to think he is fast? I have always thought Wells was real fast and considering his size his speed has always impressed me that much more. I'm not sure what you mean by a 2nd tier prospect?

2 down back. That is almost every RB in the NFL these days. The Titans and Giants have changed the NFL dynamics for RB. I like the ceiling of Wells the most and am most interested in his 40 also. Every mock I see has a different RB at the top and in different situations. I was surprised to see Charles Smith having Wells going 8th in his last mock to Jags. I have seen Brown 1st also. Moreno usually but he is the guy I find the most bland in the end.

Exactly, thats part of what makes him a 2nd tier RB.

 

[sem_envy]

not confirmed, but 4.38 and 4.39 in the 40 according to some other draft forums.

I think 4.6 is fast. 2nd tier prospect means he is not an elite prospect, like AD, Mcfadden, or even Stewart. His upside is somewhere between Lendale White and Jamal Lewis.

I dont see McFadden or Stewart as elite prospects either in the end. I think he has higher upside than McFadden and Stewart is who he reminds me of quite a bit4.39 will have him skyrocketiing now. I think I will end up with Crabtree for sure now in my draft before the NFL draft at the 1.3. Nice consolation in .5 PPR league

If that holds up... WOW just WOWI was thinking he might go 4.42-4.45 if he got his mechanics down. If he really does run under a 4.40 at 237 pounds his speed would be elite.

You may not, but NFL teams did, and thats more of what i was talking about. I might change my mind about Wells if he goes in the first 10-12 picks, but i just dont see that happening, even if he did run a 4.39 at his Pro day.

 

[Chachi]

Before Wells injuries this past season he was considered an elite prospect, if he really ran a sub 4.4 i'll go out on a limb and label him as an elite prospect.

 

[sem_envy]

I'd like to see video, because he did not look fluid at the combine. If he looks smooth running, maybe he improved his technique, as opposed to just running on a faster surface. Another interesting thing is to compare the 40 times of Jenkins and Robiskie to their combine times -- from what I've seen they did not have a large improvement like Wells. We may see him challenge for 1.01 in rookie drafts -- assuming he lands in a good situation. Not saying he deserves it, but he may be in the discussion especially in non-ppr.

Anyone get the feeling that BS isn't high on Wells? Every positive comment by Wells will get a response from BS (appropriate initials by the way)

I read over at a buckeyes forum that Jenkins/Robiskie/Laurinitas all ran the same as at the combine. I predicted that Wells would run better if he improved his mechanics, something that the guys at NFLN made clear that he should have been coached up on, if Beanie would have trained for the 40 then his time at the combine would have been much better.

That's my feeling as well, just wanted to see some visual evidence. The new 40 time fits better with the impression I had after seeing him play. I would be really excited about him if was able to run with a lower pad level. He seems to run with a LJ or Brandon Jacobs style as opposed to Michael Turner. I think a lower pad level would help him in GL situations and avoid injuries.

Yeah, sorry i gave my opinion and it is different than yours. I change my mind, he is the next Jim Brown, maybe better.

 

[Chachi]

40 yd dash = 4.39 first attempt

4.38 second attempt

Brian Hartline, Brian Robiskie, & Malcolm Jenkins were ALL in the 4.49 to 4.54 range.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Wow. Thats smokin fast. That's AD- Reggie Bush territory

 

[TitusIII]

Injury concerns will cost him a few million bucks, however...but the talent, when Beanie is healthy, is elite, imo...

 

[jurb26]

To me, Wells was a virtual lock to post much better numbers today than he did at the combine. I posted this in the combine thread:

Sometimes you can tell just by watching a player run their 40 that they are faster than they look on this particular day. Manningham last year was a great example. Wells just doesn't look comfortable at all running today. I think he will run at the OSU pro-day and perform better.Bottom line, look back at his game tape. You'll see runs against schools like LSU where he runs away from people and doesn't get caught from behind.

I knew Beanie was fast from watching him play. He never got caught from behind. But even I didn't think he was this fast. If he can stay healthy he is gonna be a STUD!!

He has a 105.9 Speed Score, which is pretty good.

Charmin.

 

[MAC_32]

You can add some time to his 40 too, the Ohio St. track is usually faster than the combine's.

If he did run a 4.38 today at the same weight from the combine (235 lbs) that boosts his speed score up to 127.7.

didnt seem to be for the other guys who ran on it versus the combine.

Look at prior years results, they lay some special turf down that's supposedly easier to run on. From what I heard on the radio on the drive home last night they were laying the turf down this year too.

Prymetyme and I also got into some discussion about this in the combine thread. His start was very poor @ the combine. He stood straight up on the 1st step, and that probably cost him .15 or so. I do think he's in the 4.40 range for speed, but that still doesn't elevate him in my rankings, as I already spotted him the .15 for poor form (these aren't track guys). S.Greene is also faster than he timed... just sayin'.

what about Moreno?

Barely faster than Greene, but MUCH more agile. Much better at making the 1st guy miss, catching OOTB, acceleration & vision. Moreno is my top RB and stands alone at the top. I would be equally pleased to land Wells as I would Brown or Greene or Shady. I know I like Greene more than most, but my point is that I think of the 2nd tier of '09 RBs as a logjam and would rather pay the price of a 1.05-1.08 pick than a 1.01. 1.03 & 1.04 is not on my shopping list, unless Crabtree falls to 1.03.

Agree with you except i'd put Wells on the elite list even before this latest 40 time. He was elite coming into this year and i dont think he did anything to change that. Wasnt long ago that he was in the discussion with AD and McFadden as to who was going to be the best. Think people are nitpicking him like they do to the elite prospects every year. Remember when there was a contingency who liked Lynch better than AD.

You must not spend alot of time here, that or already drafted Beanie Wells.Dont worry, what i think of Wells will NOT affect what he does on the field.

Youre welcome for the sig!!Having you disagree with me about draft prospects enforces my opinions even more. Some quotes from you last year:

absolutely brilliant with Malcolm Kelly as the #1 WR, I agree 100%

I actually think Forte is going to be a major bust, not only Benson stunk in Chicago, they all stunk in Chicago and I don't think Forte is very good at all

Even with Chris Johnson being drafted high, I agree with the low ranking, I think he brings something special (speed) but it's not going to equate into much fantasywise.

I would seriously be stunned if Forte/Johnson/Smith all finished ahead of Dmac, actually I'd be stunned if any of them finished ahead of Dmac

I am taking bets on ROY, I will take McFadden over anyone who wants to pick Forte, it just seems like stealing to me, I'll wager whatever you want.

FAILEver heard of a smokescreen? I will say I do like Dmac and did like him over those guys but I'll also let you in on a little secret, I drafted Chris Johnson and Matt Forte in dynasty leagues, not over McFadden. I drafted both CJ and Forte within a week of those comments. I don't own Malcolm Kelly at all, in one league I did however draft Avery over him and drafted Royal in the late 2nd. I also drafted Brandon Marshall in a $1000 entry league in the 4th round after I buried him on these forums, I'm sure you can pull up 50 posts of me ripping Marshall to shreds. All pulling up those quotes proves is you have too much time on your hands.

FAILEver heard of a smokescreen? I will say I do like Dmac and did like him over those guys but I'll also let you in on a little secret, I drafted Chris Johnson and Matt Forte in dynasty leagues, not over McFadden. I drafted both CJ and Forte within a week of those comments. I don't own Malcolm Kelly at all, in one league I did however draft Avery over him and drafted Royal in the late 2nd. I also drafted Brandon Marshall in a $1000 entry league in the 4th round after I buried him on these forums, I'm sure you can pull up 50 posts of me ripping Marshall to shreds. All pulling up those quotes proves is you have too much time on your hands.

Is that what your doing with Wells in this thread, or are you telling the truth this time?

Wells isnt an elite prospect. He ran a 4.6 because he is that fast. He might run a bit fsater, as most players do at their Pro day, but he probably wont be run faster tha a 4.5. Even if he does, he is still a two down back, and 2nd tier prospect.

What would he have to run for you to think he is fast? I have always thought Wells was real fast and considering his size his speed has always impressed me that much more. I'm not sure what you mean by a 2nd tier prospect?

I think 4.6 is fast. 2nd tier prospect means he is not an elite prospect, like AD, Mcfadden, or even Stewart. His upside is somewhere between Lendale White and Jamal Lewis.

The above is one of the dumbest posts I'v seen here. At least you're a hater and not objective.

Really? The five i quoted you from last year in my above post all seem to have mine beat in the "dumbest" category.

Read the post right above this one, they weren't dumb, they were brilliant. None of it compares to the utter genius of dragging Marshalls name through the mud only to collect the $10,000 pot. Sorry to burst your bubble but you will retain the "dumbest" post title.

FAILThink about what you're saying. You have it backwards. Ripping the target player to drive a specific player down is what I did, your theory reeks of illiteracy.

I am not even sure what to say. You and Maroney=Speed should get together and stack up your FF win/loss records and money earnings against each other.

Wow!

You guys both have really large e-penixes!

I'm so jealous!

Get a room.

Back to the actual topic of discussion: If Wells ran sub-4.4, which it sounds like he did, he'll definitely get a boost in his stock. I'm not terribly impressed with this year's batch of RB's, so anything that makes one stand out from the others is welcome news. Shakes things up a little bit, for sure.

So... the moral of the story is, "Don't listen to Chachi during this time of year. In fact, you're better off if you never listen to Chachi."

Thank-you for your contributions to the board. Hope you spent at least some of the $10K on a membership.

How about nothing, you've done a great job attempting to ruin this thread.Sorry for the digression of the thread, it's over.

Why say anything at all?

Your theory reeks of idiocy. Do you really think anyone lets how much you rip a guy affect their rankings?"I really like Chris Johnson, but Chachi doesnt, so i am crossing him off my draft board." I am guessing that didnt go through one persons head during 2008 rookie drafts.Either way, i am finsihed here, good luck with your smokescreening this year.
