Demetrius Bell SELECTED BY: Buffalo Bills Round 7(12)

SI Grade 3.24 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Two-year starter at offensive tackle who came to college as a basketball player. All-Conference selection as a senior.

POSITIVES: Developing prospect with a good combination of size and athleticism. Blocks with a wide base, stays square, and displays quickness in all aspects of the game. Works his hands throughout the action, fluid moving about the field, and jolts opponents at the point of attack. Quick-footed and does a good job picking up blocking assignments.

NEGATIVES: Inconsistent with his fundamentals. Marginally strong at the point and does not get much movement from blocks.

ANALYSIS: Relatively new to football, Bell has made major improvements in the past two seasons. He must improve his overall football strength and master the details of his position, yet he offers a good amount of upside potential.

PROJECTION: Late Seventh Round
