I'll take your word for quickness in small areas, though.

Personally, I'm always very hesitant about drafting backs that have had 1000+ carries in college. He has over 1200 touches.

It's obviously less of a risk than taking guys higher in the draft, but if you look at the track records of backs who shouldered heavy loads in college:

Ricky Williams
Ron Dayne
Cedric Benson
Archie Griffin


They all had disappointing pro careers (although Benson and Williams had moments of great ability).
I hear you with the concern about carries. That is my largest concern with Bell, too. He's talented enough to play well in the NFL but for how long?
