Markel Bell Puts His Name Into The 2026 NFL Draft

View as article
Bell is going to get drafted. It's a certainty. The question is when? Feels like a mid-low 4th rounder right now to me based on how he held up in the CFP. He did really well vs. A&M and Taint, was passable but not inspiring against a much smaller opponent vs Indiana. If his combine results show more speed and agility, that could pop him up higher. But if I were him I would have applied for that waiver. JMHO.

I thought it was more of the fact it was looking like he wasn’t gonna get the waiver, so he declared.

Yeah I think he has to realize he’s not “sparring” out there. This is full on go mode for these guys and they know they can get noticed by making him look bad. Hes got a target on his back. Horrible rep but he will recover.

I didn't watch much of the Super Bowl, as I hate the NFL now, but the few snaps I saw of the Patriots I couldn't help but think, "Markell Bell is better than their LT."

Now if I'm a playoff contender in need of a LT, why the HECK do I let him slip past the first round? He's got size you can't teach. He is good. It's not like he was getting lit up, by anyone. This 4th round nonsense from some people is crazy. Am I crazy, or do I remember when the LT was the second most important position on the O side of the ball?

I've seen bigger projects go high in the first round than what Bell is. And I don't mean physically, I mean as a project.
