Cleveland Browns Replacement Option No. 3 – David Bell, Purdue

At this point, it’s tough to call the wide receiver standout from Purdue, David Bell, an under-the-radar prospect, but he is a guy who will likely be flirting as a day one prospect, or an early day two guy.

Bell has really started to turn heads as of late and could be the perfect fit for the Cleveland Browns.  Not only does he have an NFL frame at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, but he also has fantastic body control.

Bell won’t turn heads with his 40 time at the combine, but he has a very long stride to get separation, and a quick burst when breaking in his routes. He has a little more athleticism than a guy like Landry currently but has similar traits as far as just finding holes to get open.

So far in 2021 Anthony Schwartz shows signs of being the burner, Donovan Peoples-Jones has the speed and size, and a guy like Bell could come in and quickly fill the void of a guy like Rashard Higgins and OBJ who will both likely be moving on in 2022.

Don’t take that as Bell is an equal talent to either of those guys, but he fits very well in the Kevin Stefanski Scheme and could produce early. Bell would be a guy like Greedy Williams, Grant Delpit, and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. I see him being an early-round two guy where the Browns give up a few later picks to move up and swoop the wide receiver up.
