The Bean would start and rule almost every other team in the NFL, He was a projected top 10 RB that fell to 31. just to follow up a bit on the draft scouting report.
The bean was graded higher than any other back in history at more skill sets than any other RB in history of earth. his knocks that dropped his grade was.
Work ethic, blocking, pass catching. frankly I said the scouting report was wrong then and will not back down now. evidenced by.
I've seen the Bean drop 1 pass in a reg season game and playoffs these 2 years. from the WR position, the flat, screens and TD's in the middle of traffic taking huge hits!
The Bean missed a block this last game but the scouting report was like 4. something on CBS sportsline? He aint the best blocker but he aint no scrub either He is at least an average blocking NFL RB. THT is above average, so be it.
The Beans work ethic has been 2nd to none with John Lott pushing him, His character has been elite in the community and until recently he has kept quiet and respectful aboutr carries in the face of Whiz's playcalling stupidity. 2 carries in the playoff saints game after Beanie ruled the Packers the first half playoff game against GB.
again I don't know what others are watching but its a crime not to start Beanie Wells on at least 25 teams in the NFL. much less the worst rushing team in football over the last 4 years! Whiz is an idiot He needs 7-8 carries a quarter under any circumstance before you add another play to the game plan, period.
Please read this cause not much has changed, except oppurtunities to establish the run by playcalling.

Positives: Extraordinary combination of size and natural running ability. Downhill runner who attacks the line of scrimmage when running inside. Shows the patience to pick and slide laterally. Good burst to and through the hole. Despite his height, generally runs with good pad level, giving defenders little to target other than his knees and shoulder pads. Rare size and leg drive to move the pile. Rare vision and lateral quickness for a back of his size. Anticipates the cutback lanes before they appear and capitalizes on them. Surprising acceleration to break through the first wave of the defense and get to the second level. Brutal stiff-arm when in the open field to bat away defenders attempting to drag him down. Despite his size, shows good breakaway speed. Final nine touchdowns against BCS opponents traveled an average of 32 yards. Good size and strength as a pass blocker. Despite his struggles with durability, some close to the program characterize him as being a tough player willing to play through pain.
Negatives: Primary concern - and the only one that will keep him from being a top 10 pick - is Wells' struggles with durability. Fought nagging injuries throughout much of his career at Ohio State and some have questioned whether he knows the difference between pain and injury. Sat out three full games and parts of several others (including the 2009 Fiesta Bowl -- his final game in a Buckeye uniform) with foot, hamstring and head (concussion) injuries. May lack natural hands for the reception. Has only caught 15 passes for 84 career yards and too often double-clutches. Inconsistent effort as a blocker.
Compares To: LARRY JOHNSON, Kansas City -- Like Johnson, Wells is a power-oriented runner with a great stiff-arm, but all that pounding does come with a price - serious concerns about his durability. He has the hard-driving running style of Minnesota's Adrian Peterson, but is not as well-rounded and doesn't play with that steady fire in the belly that the best NFL backs displays. There are a lot of holes in Wells' game, but for a team needing someone to punch the ball up the gut, he is the best option in this draft.
