Mike Bell-FF Q - The Orange Mane

jebures · 08-27-2006, 03:31 PM

Im in a league of 12 people and am wondering when i should draft mike bell, i was thinking third round, but would like some input.

ludo21 · 08-27-2006, 03:34 PM

im taking him frist round.

3rd is good spot.

BABronco · 08-27-2006, 03:34 PM

I'd say 4th or 5th ... he lasted all the way into the 7th round on my league. But I play a 10 man league.

Lidderer · 08-27-2006, 03:34 PM

Entirely dependant on how your other owners draft rbs. I'd put bell at around the 14th-18th best RB, so that might be a better way of answering your question.

BABronco · 08-27-2006, 03:36 PM

I'd also like to add that this is my first year doing ff, so take that into consideration.

Ray Finkle · 08-27-2006, 03:45 PM

I picked him up in the 7th round....he makes a good 3rd or 4th RB to have.

MechanicalBull · 08-27-2006, 03:53 PM

It's a tough call with Denver rbs right now. Some people outside of Denver might not know of him just yet so he could drop, but for all we know Tatum or someone else can be carrying the load by week 4 or splitting carries again.

I think I would look towards getting two established backs first or if you draft Mike then you might want to draft Tatum as well.

nwmsu-bronco · 08-27-2006, 04:03 PM

I also picked him up in the 7th round. Then I picked Tatum up in the 9th. So I'm guaranteed the starter pretty much.

DeusExManning · 08-27-2006, 04:08 PM

In my league I tried to wait until the 3rd (no Bronco fans). He went in the second.

ward63 · 08-27-2006, 04:25 PM

Jeez guys....In three leagues, the earliest I took him was 11th round and I got him in all of my drafts.

Antilles · 08-27-2006, 04:40 PM

I got him in the 6th in two leagues - one 12 team league and one 14 team league. Tatum went before Mike in both.

Could be playing with local cats. They'd have a heads up on Mike Bell so they might draft earlier...or be more exposed to the hype and thus reach depending on how you feel about MB.

I think it almost guaranteed, barring injury or something, he gets almost 1000 yards whether he's the featured back or not. That's just how the offense is shaping up right now without a hands down dominant runner.

The question is can he get you roughly a touchdown a game??

This is true...I'm with guys from where I live(in southwest Ohio). I was ticked in my final draft b/c one of my buddies drafted Tatum in like the 8th or 9th and somebody else typed a message "you moron, you didn't even drafted the starter" and I was upset, but luckily he droped like 2 or 3 more rounds. He's not my only back up of course. I draft heavy in RB and WR. I usually only take #1 guys too.

Sgt Sauce · 08-27-2006, 05:32 PM

I got him in the 4th round today. I ended up w/2nd overall pick in 12 team league, and we start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 flex RB/WR, 1 flex WR/TE, TE, DEF, K). Pretty happy with my squad:

2. Shaun Alexander
23. A. Boldin
26. C. Chambers
47. M. Bell
50. A. Green
71. T. Jones
74. D. Bennett
95. Bledsoe
98. C. Brown
119. Kellen Winslow
122. JAKE
143. T. Williamson
146. M. Vick (Michael not Marcus)
167. V. Morency
170. Dallas Defense
191. Rodney White
195. C. Bradford

I didn't draft a kicker, but Josh Brown is on the wire and I'm going to cut C. Bradford for him..

ludo21 · 08-27-2006, 05:46 PM

TJ just took M Bell in the 2nd round in our draft

NOLA Bronco · 08-27-2006, 06:18 PM

I got him with the #2 of the 7th round (pick 74). Of course I knew he would last that long since no one in my league follows the Broncos. My other league has its draft on Tues and I bet he will go sooner, as half the people are from Denver.

NYBronc · 08-27-2006, 06:21 PM

I took Bell in the 4th round.

How would you rate my draft? I picked 5th.

1. Cadillac Williams
2. Steve Smith
3. Torry Holt
4. Mike Bell
5. Drew Bledsoe
6. Rueben Droughns
7. Steelers
8. Keenan McCardell
9. Vernon Davis
10. Jason Elam
11. Troy Williamson
12. Steve McNair
13. Cedric Houston

ward63 · 08-27-2006, 06:35 PM

I drafted second and here's my Round-by-round

1. LT
2. Marvin Harrison
3. Cadillac
4. Hassellbeck
5. Roy Williams (Detroit)
6. Andre Johnson
7. Vinatieri
8. Randy McMichael
9. Kevin Jones
10. Branch (hopin he'll get somewhere to play) reach I know
11. Deuce McAllister (don't know how I got him so late)
12. Denver D
13. Mike Bell
14. Chester Taylor
15. Phillip Rivers (trying to drop for Michael Clayton)

ludo21 · 08-27-2006, 06:37 PM

So far this is my team, thoughts?

RB	2 (#13)	Portis, Clinton (RB WAS)
RB	1 (#12)	Parker, Willie (RB PIT)
WR	3 (#36)	Wayne, Reggie (WR IND)

You should easily win your league. Cadillac in the third? Taylor in the 14th? That's insane. Everyone had him listed as a 3rd or 4th rounder.

I think Roy Williams is going to be very good this year with Kitna and Martz. Good Qbs and back up WR. Eventhough SF will be bad I think Bryant and Gore will do good. Would just keep an eye on Portis' injury and see about more RB depth.

I did a draft a few days ago and Bell was undrafted so I picked him up. I'm pretty happy with my team. Drafted 10th out of 10 and start 1qb, 2rb, 3wr,1te, 1d, 1k

QBs: Delhomme and Brunell
RBs: McGahee, Domanick Davis, Jamal Lewis, Tatum and Mike Bell
WR: Steve Smith, Terrell Owens(didn't want him put he was the best player on the board), Javon Walker, Joey Galloway(dropped Issac Bruce when someone dropped Galloway), Derrick Mason
TE: Heath Miller
K: John Kasay
D: Seattle

There was one guy that took Vick and Crumpler in rounds 2 & 3 and Pinkston in round 5.

Knowing Denver's running situation, by years end, Cobbs or Nash or Sapp will be the leading rusher on this team, and then we will trade that guy away and have sum new speculation on who will be the top back during preseason and camp next season...lol

I think the highlighted player has u entitled to a major a$$ kicking from all Denver Bronco fans, and players as well.
But aside from that ur team looks pretty solid, especially having DeAngelo as ur reserve, because by years end he will be the top dog on his team.

Taco John · 08-28-2006, 03:27 AM

I took him in the second round of a draft, but only because it was a draft of all Broncos fans. I knew he wouldn't last to the late third so I pulled the trigger with the 15th pick overall.

In my home league, he lasted to the 15th round, but that was after the first week of the preseason. The word is starting to get out about him now, and given Denver's success with the running game, I think more and more people are taking notice.

Ultimately, I think Mike Bell should last at least through the 8th or 9th round in most leagues... But I wouldn't be suprised to see him go as high a 7th.

Forget it... Your team sucks and is cursed due to the presence of Eddie Kennison on your team. You might as well go shoot yourself in the face right now...
