Larz Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Bilal PowellNew York JetsRound 4, Pick 126 Position: RBClass: 4Sr School: LouisvilleConference: Big East HT: 5-10.5 WT: 207 40 Time: 4.56 Biography: All-Conference selection as a senior after posting a career numbers of 229/1405/11 on the ground and 18/158/3 as a pass catcher. Junior totals included 392 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns. Positives: "Nice sized interior runner coming off a sensational campaign. Runs low to the ground, shows a burst through the hole, and does not go down without a fight. Works his runs, plays with quickness, and falls forward when tackled. Solid receiver out of the backfield. Resilient, keeps his feet moving up the field, and works runs hard." Negatives: Must show better patience waiting for his blocks to develop. More of a one-speed back with marginal burst. Cannot cut back against the grain and loses momentum when he must immediately change direction. Analysis: Powell was rated as a free agent coming into the season but has moved himself into the late rounds after a great senior campaign. He has the skills and style to be a third back on an NFL roster and should only get better as he completes his game he must have been carrying one of the pats* backs when he ran that 40 time. he looks a hell of a lot faster with guys chasin him !!!

T0mShane Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Perhaps this guy was somebody they targeted heading into the draft, and they were debating whether they should go after him now or wait on it too. I have a sneaking suspicion they might have liked the safety that Jacksonville reached a bit on too, but that's entirely speculation on my part. They did actually bring Powell in for a workout, so there was some pre-meditation. It's gonna be interesting to see the motivation. I can't see LT being dumped, and unless McKnight is 300 lbs. and living in a hut on a beach in Fiji right now, you'd have to think he's safe. That led me to guess that Greene was in trouble, but as BG and Damaged pointed out, he's probably fine. Guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow_monkey Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Seems to me we have bigger needs than RB. But hopefully they know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good 10 for a guy with marginal burst. I dunno how they can tell he's a solid receiver considering he caught about one ball a game. These things are stupid.

AFJF Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 They carried 3 HBs and 2 FBs last season. Maybe it's 4 HB's and 1 FB this season? T-Rich is gone and LT has one year remaining on his deal. Maybe they keep this kid on the roster with the expectation of letting LT go next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlancemehlot Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 wow. reeeeeeeeach. Was projected 6th-7th or UDFA. Not a position of need. Creates huge logjam at RB. Black and Herzlich still sitting on their couches. All I can think is that Tanny got up to take a piss and Bradway jumped in. Classic Bradway choice right there.

mfmartin Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 If you look at the offense Rex likes to run, its ground and pound. I wanted them to pick a RB last year. I think LT stays this year from a leadership standpoint and then Greene, McKnight and Powell will be our 3 running backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlancemehlot Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Powell was a projected 4-5 rd prospect until he lasted one sprint at the combine before injuring his hamstring. He then pulled his hammy again at his pro-day workout. is said to have nagging right knee injury. Many scouts dropped him to the 6th or later because of this.

HessStation Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 You never know anyone of these guys can turn into a star but from a prospect perspective the Pats sh*t the bed and I don't like our last pick.also heard Evan roberts ripping on Rex and eliis pick this morning.

Especially when only one of them can catch and run and the other three are marginal blockers at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Didn't actually give up a pick either, just exchanged our pick in the 6th for a 7th, so still 6 selections. Think Kerley can make an impact in the return game and as a slot if only one of Holmes/Edwards is re-signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will be good with our O-line, the more I read about him the more I like the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
