Blake Bell TE Oklahoma

Height: 6-6. Weight: 252. 40 Time: 4.80. Projected Round (2015): 3-5. 4/27/15:

After playing quarterback in his early years, Bell moved to tight end as a senior. He recorded 16 receptions for 214 yards and four touchdowns in 2014. Sources with teams were impressed with Bell at the East-West Shrine and feel that he has really helped himself. Bell was able to get open with route-running and quickness. At his measurements, Bell has excellent size and length to be a receiving tight end in the next level. He showed surprising receiving ability as he used his size and leaping ability to go for catches in the middle of the field. His hands were also better than expected for a player who spent the majority of his collegiate career as a running quarterback. Entering the NFL, Bell will have to work on his blocking, but he is impressive as a receiver. After his solid week in Mobile, Bell has pushed himself into mid-round consideration and could crack the second day of the 2015 NFL Draft given the overall weakness at tight end.

How's this for indepth analysis......

BOING!!!

After watching that video I'm really excited about the pick. He plays fast, agile and runs through people.

Seriously. This dude is a 6 foot 6 X factor.

vance mcd finally leaving

We need a Belldozer celebration gif. I'm feeling the trucker horn fist pump.

Love this pick! Already thinking wildcat with Kap & Bell. The options are endless. Bell has the power to get 1st downs on short yardage runs up the gut. Huge goal line target.

this guy did what Tebow was too stubborn to do, switch to TE. He looks exactly like tebow on his QB tape

Love this pick.

Notes by ESPN Scout´s Inc

- Natural leader and hard worker
- Moved from quarterback to tight end in 2014

- Catches the ball with hands away from frame
- Catches passes above head without breaking stride
- Good body control and adjusts to passes thrown outside frame
- Frame, length and leaping ability to compete for jump balls

- Long strider with enough speed and size to work the seam
- Picks up yards after contact

- Shows good fight at the point as a blocker
- Doesn't shy away from contact and willing to sacrifice body to get the job done
- Gets downfield and looks for someone to hit when a teammate catches a pass
- Willing to do the dirty work and doesn't take eyes off the ball tracking it over the deep middle
- Hardnosed runner that fights for yards after the catch




ESPN´s Take

Has the frame and toughness to grow into an effective inline blocker. He already flashes the ability to get his hands inside and sustain. He also has big hands and catches the ball well. It doesn't hurt that his father and an uncle played in the NFL, either.




NFL´s Take

The "Belldozer" is a converted quarterback who is a bruising runner after the catch. He is still counting his steps as a receiver but San Francisco can use him in jumbo packages near the goal line as he develops into a more well-rounded player.

Whoa this kid can do a variety of things

that's what i was thinking, looks like a leader, tough, runs through tackles, little slow but big

My immediate reaction of our 4th round picks are we definitely hit them out of the park. I like all the 4th round selections!

Really liking this pick. We really needed a big hands catching TE. He's raw but I trust Sporano to coach him up.

If there are two themes from our 2015 draft so far, it's this:

1. Size: We want BIG, athletic players
2. Projects: There will be a lot of emphasis on coaching and player development.

If Balke's vision comes into fruition, this will be one hell-of-a draft class!

And zero starters in 2015...they weren't kidding about planning a year ahead lol

DA BELLDOZER!!!
