Dolphins Bet Big on Upside at WR With Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell

Miami used Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft to add high-upside receivers Caleb Douglas (Texas Tech) and Chris Bell (Louisville). Bell, coming off ACL surgery, is viewed as a potential No. 1 receiver who could contribute as soon as health allows, while Douglas adds depth. The Dolphins say they are building for 2028 and beyond, banking on Bell's return and the long-term upside rather than focusing solely on the 2026 season.

Dolphins' 94th pick lands explosive Chris Bell, a potential steal at receiver

The Miami Dolphins selected Louisville WR Chris Bell with the 94th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Bell is a big, explosive receiver with smooth routes and strong after-the-catch ability, but he missed much of the pre-draft process due to a late-2025 knee injury (ACL). Evaluators see him as a high-ceiling playmaker who could become a quarterback’s trusted target early in his career, especially when paired with TE Will Kacmarek and WR Caleb Douglas; the pick is viewed as a major value, earning an A+ grade from evaluators.

Dolphins Bet on Chris Bell's Upside to Anchor Future WR Core

The Miami Dolphins closed Day 2 by selecting Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell with the 94th overall pick in the third round, a move built on upside despite Bell’s torn ACL last November. If he recovers fully, Bell could emerge as the top WR in a rebuilt Miami receiving corps after the departures of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, even if his rookie impact is modest in 2026. The earlier third-round choices—Caleb Douglas and Will Kacmarek—provide different value: Douglas has size and contested-catch ability but drops concerns, while Kacmarek projects mainly as a blocking tight end, making Bell the clear best value pick of the round.

After trading back on day one, the 49ers hold pick 33 and should grab Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren to shore up the backend, then target Missouri EDGE Zion Young at 58 to boost the pass rush and run defense, and finally land Louisville WR Chris Bell (or Germie Bernard) to upgrade the wide receiver room, aiming for a three-player Day 2 that contributes immediately at safety, EDGE, and WR.
