Washington Commanders' Day 2 Draft Dilemma: Skyler Bell

0:00On April 24th, the Washington Commanders head into day two of the NFL draft, with just one pick at the 71st spot overall, so they got to make. It count. ESPN's latest mod draft has them grabbing Yukon-wide receiver Skyler Bell right there. It's a move to boost their receiving core and ease the load on Terry McLearn. Bell lit up the field last year with 101 catches for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns, earning Yukons. First, first team All-American nod at receiver. He's electric in the slot, quick after the catch with smooth cuts that shake defenders. Fans and analysts see him fitting in to battle Luke McCaffrey for that slot role, adding speed and big-play juice to a group that needs more threats. His fluidity could turn short passes into chunk yards, but the real question is how he stacks up against NFL corners. Dig deeper though, and Bell's got limitations. He's undersized, struggles and traffic for contested balls and often needs schemes to get open rather.

1:03Then winning one-on-one every time, that makes him a high-risk swing at 71. More like a fourth-round talent they might not see later since they lack picks there. Still, if they pull the trigger, it could pay off big or fizzle fast. Day two is going to be a wild ride for Peters and the crew as they hunt that perfect. Fid.
