Draft Analysis
Round 6, Pick 6
Positives He has great speed. Is on a speed friendly offense and Mike Martz is in love with him... Negatives He could actaully be the #2 on this team if Kevin Jones gets healthy, but that is a big "if"...his durabilty is also a concern. Draft Strategy I had planned to take my 3rd RB here and originally had J.Jones and Fed Taylor, but all of the news coming out of Detroit is that Mike Martz loves Bell and is ammazed with him, so that could me a lot of opprtunities for him and his speed is magnified on turf.

Round 5, Pick 8
Positives Blazing speed and the type of rb that should thrive in Mike Martz offense. Kevin Jones is injured all of the time and will probably start the year on the PUP. The Detroit offense is primed to have a huge year, the featured back in that offense should be fantastic with alot of opportunities to catch the ball as well as run with it. There are so many weapons on this offense that no one can be keyed on and he should be able to really have alot of running room. Negatives If Kevin Jones does return from the injury Tatum could go back to the bench and be almost worthless unless he really establishes himself by that time. He didn't have quite the stellar season many people thought he would in Denver last year and never could take the job all for himself. Draft Strategy I originally thought I would be taking a qb in this round. The news came out today that Kevin Jones was going to start the season on the pup and this really jumped Tatum's value up enough that I didn't feel he would be there in the rounds (7-8) I originally targeted him. I have had him in my sites all along just not this early. I couldn't wait so I took him, as simple as that. (Contributed by: imyourhuckleberry)
