David Bell, WR CLE
Bell was a divisive prospect. He had a top-notch production profile but scored very low in all athletic measurables and was expected to have disappointing draft capital as a result. Being selected with the 99th pick in the third round of the NFL Draft by the Browns was a bit of a mixed bag for me. The draft capital wasn’t ideal but at least it was on day two and the Browns were sorely lacking in depth at wide receiver but were a run-first team.
Ultimately, I loved Bell’s college production and breakout age, which led me to rank him just outside the first round, expecting that he would be a factor for the Browns early into his career. Unfortunately, Bell has been underwhelming though I do believe his increased usage as of late gives reason for hope. If I could go back in time, I would make sure to have all the round two draft capital rookies ahead of him as I think Bell being an end-of-third-round NFL Draft pick should have made me reconsider my feelings.
