WR4 with upside; unorthodox technique like Tate/Harrison Sr., needs hand-placement fix

Skyler BellBUF

Matt Waldman recommends looking at Skylar Bell as a pre-draft wide receiver option offering more upside than consensus. Brandon Angelo grades him as wide receiver four in the class despite his lack of size; notes he's a serial clap attacker with unorthodox catch technique but is an exception to the rule like Golden Tate, Marvin Harrison Sr., and Terry McLaurin who catch the ball with ugly technique but get it done. The key question is whether he'll have to fix his hand placement like Quentin Johnston did or remain an exception. Angelo believes if Bell cleans up his hand placement in contested situations, he'll be a long-term starter; currently loses 50/50 situations due to poor positioning rather than lack of strength.

Source transcript excerpt
I would probably say pre-draft if you're drafting before the NFL draft, I would start looking at guys who maybe offer a little bit more upside um too. Like I'd look at Skylar Bell... he's a serial clap attacker... he basically the exception to the rule like Golden Tate, Marvin Harrison Sr. and Terry McLaurin who like they catch the ball as ugly as sin technique-wise, but they get it done.
