David Bell

There’s been first-round buzz around Bell since 2019, when he caught 86 passes for 1,035 yards and seven TDs as a true freshman at Purdue. But he ended up a third-round pick, and barely (99th overall), despite putting up even better numbers as a sophomore and junior. The reason? Bell was one of the big losers of the 2022 Combine, with a 4.65 40 (second slowest among WRs), 33-inch vertical and 118-inch broad jump. You won’t find many wide receivers who post those numbers and go on to NFL success, but one of them is the guy Bell will try to replace in Cleveland — veteran slot receiver Jarvis Landry. While he has the size to play outside, if not the speed, Bell could start off in the slot given that Cleveland’s other receivers (Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Anthony Schwartz) are better suited for downfield work.
