Watched a youtube highlights vid of him and it doesn't match the measurables imo. Take a flyer on him in the 4th rd if they really liked him but no earlier please.

I'm wondering if our alleged interest in Chris Bell is a smokescreen or legit.

If they like him better than say Ted Hurst or Brazzell - because we got Evans + Kirk in FA - allows us to easily be patient until he is 100% recovered from his ACL.

Just rewatched a 2025 youtube highlight vid of him and he was torching MIA's great D when they were 5-0 and #2 in the country.

Some are cold on the guy but if Shanalynch really liked him I wouldn't complain if we picked him at #58. He doesn't need to play right away and before we got Evans/Kirk we needed an immediate blue chip starting WR that could play Week 1. Not anymore.

But we don't like to leak the guys we really want so I'm thinking it isn't real.

I need to watch more of Bell, I'm just not really seeing it though. Doesn't come off as a great separator/not amazing vs press. Hands are a little questionable.

I wouldn't hate him end of the 2nd because I can see the upside.

I dont really it either. Like I get, he moves really well, for his size. I just need him to move well without the disclaimer.

Like, I get the allure specific to how he can be used in a shannahan-led offense, but i kinda just want a good pure receiver without that disclaimer either.

If thye pick a WR I hope they go for someone that was productive and durable in college. I don't want smeone that ha done good season or has speed but no ability. I'll take a 4.5 well rounded guy over a 4.3 guy that can't catch or consistently get open any day.

With our injury history, we need our picks to be plug in ready as possible maybe as a wr3 or wr4 or if he can compete as a wr2 the better. I think this draft offers a very good wide receiver group and if we're going to draft one he should be expected to compete and contribute this coming season.

Bell is a complete WR i wouldnt like him at 27 because of his current injury but in 2nd round it makes sense he should be ready physcially by start of NFL year if not early on he wouldve been in the Boston range (late first ) if he was healthy. He kind of reminds me of AJ Brown

How is he a complete WR? I didn't see a ton of nuance route running….Most of his stuff was check downs. He wasn't some stud route runner (they didn't ask him to be). He's super confusing to watch imo. Seems big and athletic more than an actual WR.

Reminds me more of Treylon Burks….I mean maybe he can do more than what he was asked to do at Louisville, but that's just projecting.

You really can't ask for much more out of a Round 1 receiver prospect." @MattHarmon_BYB would have no issues if a team took KC Concepcion… pic.twitter.com/ApBTfqj7zM

KC is my favorite WR that's expected to be available around where we're picking at 27. Would be ideal for Shanny scheme. Like Cooper as well, if they're not there I'm gonna wait for someone like Ted Hurst, Skyler Bell or Antonio Williams.

Hmmm, I didn't see this posted anywhere. The procedure itself isn't alarming. However, the fact that he needed it is a bit...uh...

Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion underwent a knee scope described as routine and preventative, sources say. Cowboys team physician Daniel Cooper performed the scope last week.

Makes me think about Todd Gurley. Great for a short time and then poof...

Because of a small knee scope?
