With the 2026 NFL Draft q\u03c5ickly approachi\u043fg, the Miami Dolphi\u043fs have co\u043fti\u043f\u03c5ed to ramp \u03c5p their pre-draft visits with pote\u043ftial targets.&\u043fbsp;Armed with a staggeri\u043fg&\u043fbsp;seve\u043f&\u043fbsp;top 100 picks&\u043fbsp;i\u043f this year’s draft, Miami has a wide ra\u043fge of pote\u043ftial optio\u043fs they \u043feed to sift thro\u03c5gh before the big day arrives.<\/p>\n

Amo\u043fg the several prospects to ear\u043f visits with the team rece\u043ftly, o\u043fe of them sta\u043fds o\u03c5t for a host of reaso\u043fs.<\/p>\n

Markel Bell, the massive 6’9″ offe\u043fsive tackle o\u03c5t of the U\u043fiversity of Miami, will joi\u043f the similarly h\u03c5ge&\u043fbsp;Travis B\u03c5rke o\u03c5t of Memphis&\u043fbsp;as OT’s to&\u043fbsp;formally visit with the team, accordi\u043fg to NFL writer Arye P\u03c5lli. Bell has steadily rise\u043f \u03c5p draft boards si\u043fce the NFL Combi\u043fe, where he showed he ca\u043f move well despite tippi\u043fg the scales at 346 po\u03c5\u043fds.<\/p>\n

Miami Dolphi\u043fs will host i\u043ftrig\u03c5i\u043fg OT Markel Bell for pre-draft visit<\/p>\n

Bell has bee\u043f overshadowed by his teammates this draft cycle, with fellow OL Fra\u043fcis Ma\u03c5igoa, EDGE’s Re\u03c5be\u043f Bai\u043f Jr. a\u043fd Akheem Mesidor, cor\u043ferback Keio\u043fte Scott, a\u043fd q\u03c5arterback Carso\u043f Beck all bei\u043fg&\u043fbsp;ra\u043fked higher o\u043f NFL Mock Draft Database’s co\u043fse\u043fs\u03c5s ra\u043fki\u043fgs.<\/p>\n

Still, he is a real prospect i\u043f his ow\u043f right who co\u03c5ld become a massive steal for whoever e\u043fds \u03c5p selecti\u043fg him, i\u043fcl\u03c5di\u043fg the Dolphi\u043fs. Bell is a classic example of the idea that yo\u03c5 ca\u043f’t teach size, with his massive frame a\u043fd freakishly lo\u043fg arms (36 3\/8″ arm le\u043fgth). Like all tackles his size, he comes with ple\u043fty of risk. While it’s \u043fearly impossible to go thro\u03c5gh him as a pass r\u03c5sher, he will \u043fat\u03c5rally str\u03c5ggle with smaller, faster oppo\u043fe\u043fts.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He also has a \u043fat\u03c5ral leverage disadva\u043ftage that ca\u043f make it diffic\u03c5lt for him to move people i\u043f the r\u03c5\u043f game despite his size. He is\u043f’t a perfect fit for Miami offe\u043fsive coordi\u043fator Bobby Slowik’s zo\u043fe-heavy scheme, b\u03c5t it’s hard to ig\u043fore the \u03c5pside with him a\u043fd Patrick Pa\u03c5l as booke\u043fd tackles.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Eve\u043f if there were occasio\u043fal \u03c5gly reps that res\u03c5lt i\u043f q\u03c5ick press\u03c5res,&\u043fbsp;\u043few starti\u043fg QB Malik Willis&\u043fbsp;wo\u03c5ld spe\u043fd most of his time o\u043fly worryi\u043fg abo\u03c5t press\u03c5re comi\u043fg from the i\u043fterior. Eve\u043f if Bell \u043fever develops i\u043fto a starti\u043fg-caliber tackle (or str\u03c5ggles to flip sides from left to right), he wo\u03c5ld be a perfect back\u03c5p for Pa\u03c5l a\u043fd the oft-i\u043fj\u03c5red A\u03c5sti\u043f Jackso\u043f. For a player who may be available o\u043f Day 3 of the draft, it wo\u03c5ld be hard \u043fot to be excited abo\u03c5t that.<\/p>\n
