Looked at the 495 options and every time Group B has a top 8 ranked 3rd place team it gets paired with Group D (our group),so as long as Bosnia gets a top 8 spot of third placed teams that’s who we will be facing.

I consider Chris Bell to be the steal of this year’s draft for the following reasons.

1. Cost: He’s cheap I was able to get him at 2.04 in my dynasty rookie draft and I’ve seen him go much later.
2. Archetype: People don’t consider player archetypes enough. Chris Bell is 6ft 2 and 220 pounds. He has the archetype of an AJ Brown-style X receiver with speed and YAC. That is very important because that style of player’s ceiling is the kind of player that isn’t going to come off the field and doesn’t need to rely on low completion percentage deep balls to generate a lot of yards. A lot of people are saying things like “well Treylon Burks sucks, these style players aren’t reliable”. I think that’s poor reasoning, any archetype can have good players and bad players, what you get out of knowing their archetype is that it tells you what kind of schemes they can play in and what their ceiling may be within those schemes.
3. Scheme fit- Bell is playing in Bobby Slowik's offense , there is obviously a lot of Packers influence at the dolphins but it’s important to note that when there is a defensive head coach the offensive coordinator has a lot more discretion with the scheme. It’s easy to project Bell fitting perfectly into a Nico Collins role who was also a 3rd round pick.
4. Opportunity: A lot of talented players take a while to break out because they never get a role or playing time to show their talent. This is often due simply to the construction of a roster, most GMs are not building their rosters out expecting a 3rd round pick to be one of their top passing options since they’ve either already invested draft capital or cap space into the position. A good example of this is how long the Panthers have waited to give Jalen Coker the opportunity that his talent has demanded, and Michael Wilson not getting a chance to be the number 1 until his third season. However, if a team doesn’t have any draft capital or salary cap invested into the position this is the ideal opportunity for a third-round pick to get a chance that most players with their draft capital would have to wait years for. This is one of the reasons St. Brown was able to break out as a 4th round pick his rookie year. The dolphins have basically nothing invested in any of their pass-catching performances, so if Chris Bell is good he’s not going to have to wait years to get his chance.

I’m not saying he will break out, but what other player has the ceiling to be a WR1 in a Nico Collins AJ Brown archetype that you can get this cheaply?
