Selvin Young: This years Mike Bell

After a solid TC and preseason, Young has leaped into the #2 position on the Broncos depth chart, pulling the proverbial "Mike Bell" and now the man which this is named for is in dange of making the cut.

Hmm....I like Selvin, and I have since the draft, I think he could be a good back for us, and if he does pan out, that would eliminate a RB as a future need.

I've liked him since before the draft.

He was underrated at Texas and I think he could have a very nice pro career.

Young has impressed me, but I'm not convinced of him being better than Bell. Remember that he did his damage against 2nd and 3rd string D's, and that Bell has produced in meaningful games. I do like Young though and definitely want them to hang onto him, just not at the expense of Bell.

If it were up to me, I'd keep both Young and Bell on the active roster like this:

1. Henry
2. Bell
3. Young

Cecil Sapp goes back to FB, Andre Hall gets signed to the PS, and either Kyle Johnson or Paul Smith gets cut (the better ST player will stay).

I agree, I was a little shocked that he fell so far (went undrafted if memory serves well). I wish the best for him, and in Denver's system he'll do good if he gets the chance.

Selvin was horrible in college, why would he do anything in the NFL?
He is purely backup material.

Denver just plugs in one bum after another... I can only imagine what Henry will do in that system... and for my fantasy team Smile

These guys have no shot on any other team in the nfl

Mike Bell started last year though, Young won't.

His only problem at UT was that he couldnt stay healthy. Thats why he had to share the load for 4 years. It wasnt because he wasnt a good back

Yea, he is so talented! Very underrated at Texas with Charles there. I hope he can make a big impact. They have a good running attack with Henry, Young and Bell.
