TE Jaheim Bell, South Carolina
Bell is a heat check for a Chiefs team that can seemingly take any block of clay and turn it into offensive weapon pottery. Bell is a great receiver and a fantastic athlete by TE standards, in part because he's 6'3", 235 lbs. He has the athletic profile to run sharp routes and create all kinds of separation across the middle and the boundary, and to even taking some carries in motions and sweeps if necessary.
That tweener size is tricky, and unlike Jody Fortson, his physique seems maxed out. He's not going to be a great blocker, and despite his smaller size, he's not a great fit, it doesn't seem, as a fullback type role. He offers some promise as a pure receiving TE at the bottom of the 53 but the Chiefs seemingly have that already in Fortson, assuming they tender him. If Andy Reid is addicted to having a Fortson-type on the roster, and they deem Fortson as out of their price range long term. spending a late-rounder on Bell might be a way to replace that loss.
