He's not overly impressive with speed, or ridiculous catches or anything, but what i see is what keeps you in the NFL. Consistency, solid hands, good foootwork and route running, and dependable. I think he'll be on the team for a long time. He'll take danny Grays' spot if he gets an opportunity.

He reminds me of Jarvis Landry

Bell is just a good football player. He's aggressive and you wouldn't have known he was coming off an injury.
I can't really think of an NFL comparison for him, maybe a less thick version of Hines Ward. He's not a blazer but he's definitely much faster than Bourne and Jennings.
Ward was the 1st comp coming to my mind, he's solid AF in the blocking department.

Really good comp! This guy should've been a fifth round pick in my opinion I like him a lot

Ferocious blocker, love that. I think we're a good fit for him, he can make the tough catches and I think he's a bit better after the catch than given credit for. Yes, he's not an elite separator, that's why he went later, but he has a good chance to stick as a slot backup and KR backup.

initially, after watching highlights i was really excited but then eric Crocker posted a video going over his tape, and i just dont see how he makes it unless he figures out how to separate. I don't think that is something you can figure out that quickly...who knows.

He went to Michigan, and that's why.. I just don't think he's got anything to offer.. not very fast.. not very quick.. hands are ok.. he's a shorter version of Jennings..

Isn't it funny how none of our receivers could separate when Harbaugh was our coach and here we are drafting a receiver, coached by Harbaugh, who can't separate. Maybe it's Harbaugh and his scheme and not necessarily the players.

This alone may help him make the 53. I don't know if he'll be active or not. We've got a truckload of guys who will get snaps from the F (slot).

To be perfectly honest, I think one of the last offensive roster spots will be a battle between the bottom depth chart guys at TE and WR. Part of me thinks whoever plays best between those will determine if we keep 4 TE vs. 6 WR.
