Guest CrazyIrishman5 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 [i][b]Eric (Pasadena, CA):[/b] Where do you see Darnell Bing ending up and does he have a chance to be a 1st round pick? [b]Mel Kiper:[/b] I'd say right now, he didn't run at the combine, he's a second or third rounder, depending on how he works out.[/i] WOW! 2nd or 3rd.

A lot of people hate him, and everyone can point out his big mistakes, but he is as good if not better than all the other "experts". BTW he acknowledges that his prediction may change based on how he performs at his pro day workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiliMVP Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I personally don't think Bing gets past the Texans in the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarsonDaMan Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I don't think he's out of line at all. 3rd round may be a bit drastic, but in no way is Bing a first rounder either. The guy is not a great athlete and has pretty much zero coverage ability. At this point he's not in the class of Huff, Whitner, and probably Ko Simpson, so he will drop.

EnglishBengal Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I reckon Kiper's hit the nail on the head. Sounds like a pretty fair assessment of Bing. If he could cover better, he would be a first rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pope Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 bing& blue are about the same. i look for bing to run the same 40 time 4.6 to 4.7 range i like them both at the start of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Claptonrocks Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Bing has been timed at 4.59.....at 227lbs ( combine weight ) he may be slower now.... In the box type.. big hitter....mediocre cover guy... bengals will more than likely pass on this guy.... Ko Simpson has all around ability but is very young emotionally... Im lliking Pat Watkins 6'4 211lbs 4.42 fla st more and more ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselman44 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 i see now reason to take a safety in the first round with the depth at the position.unless ofcourse an act of god happens and huff falls to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBZ Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I like: Allen (1st), Watkins (2nd), Smith (3rd) depending on where we go for a safety. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am liking Roman Harper more and more especially if we could get him in the 4th round. Couple him with Mark Anderson in the 3rd Anyway,can't copy again for some reason,but here is link.

Lawman Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 [quote]Bing has been timed at 4.59.....at 227lbs ( combine weight ) he may be slower now....[/quote] He's picked up some weight [url="http://www.nflfans.com/x/2006/showplayer.php?key=Darnell%20Bing*"]http://www.nflfans.com/x/2006/showplayer.p...Darnell%20Bing*[/url] Draftx.com value: 71 70-79 - Can be a first string player and start. Solid pro prospect. WHAT OTHERS SAY: USC head coach Pete Carroll: "He's such a natural athlete. He's able to come up with the right decision and how to make his plays when the time comes. That's what allowed him to look so good so early and make a spot for himself...In practice, there have been a lot of balls that are tipped around and deflected, and he comes up with them. [u]He has great hands. He's extremely quick and strong, so when he gets in there, he can fight his way to the football...[/u]He's got a golden horseshoe in his back pocket. Sometimes there are safeties that are like that." [b]USC athletic director and former Heisman Trophy tailback Mike Garrett: "Pete Carroll came to me and said, 'You've got to give up your number.' I said, 'Really.' I said if Bing's that good, let him have it. But if he's not, I want my number back and retired. He sure looks good."[/b] IMHO, now a 2nd Rounder.

N.E. will not pass him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
