Markel Bell

Markel Bell projects as a developmental right tackle with Day 3 upside in Rounds 4–7, contingent on landing with a patient offensive line room. Bell's 65/99 composite grade reflects inconsistent performance against top-tier competition, but he possesses functional length and surprising lateral mobility for his size. Teams seeking a reclamation project or backup with starting potential in year two will find value here, particularly schemes that can mask his technical gaps with scheme advantages.

Bell's competition level at Miami raises durability and consistency concerns—his tape against top defensive ends reveals technique breakdowns and occasional lapses in urgency. The 65-grade composite suggests a meaningful ceiling question; he may max out as a backup-quality starter rather than a reliable weekly starter, making the investment risky for teams with immediate OL needs.
