[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 943954, member: 6578"] Let's share and note a few more of guys I got circled respectively: [B]David Bell WR out of Purdue 6'2' 205lbs[/B] David Bell is a guy I expect to be considered a borderline 1st rounder and a lot will depend who rises and falls once hard measurements are conducted at combine which sometimes cause a bit of shifting (right or wrong).
