If there's a LB I'd draft at 29, it's Leo Chenal. Perfect fit, unreal physicality and A-gap rush/blitz ability.
Do think Chenal will be there at pick 50?
Bell at 29 and Chenal at 50 works for me.

Pretty amazing second round in 2019 and 2020.I probably would, too, but he probably won't be there, and something to keep in mind, in case he is:
The top FA C, and arguably the best C in the league, Ryan Jensen is projected to make between 11-13M per. Ben Jones is projected between 9-11M per. Chris Godwin is projected to make between 18-22M. Even an inconsistent WR like Mike Williams is projected in the 16-18 range. Allen Robinson essentially took 2021 off, and he's projected in that range.
2019 had Samuel, Brown, and Metcalf
2020 had Jefferson, Aiyuk, and Higgins
2021 had Elijah Moore
2022 is a little thinner, but quality receivers, who aren't just coming out of nowhere, are almost always there to be had in the Top 40. Imo David Bell will be that guy in 2022 - maybe J. Williams, too, due to the injury.
I’ll never forget, @Pachyderm_Wave said that Deebo Samuel was the best receiver in the 2019 draft and that he should be a first round pick. He nailed it.I probably would, too, but he probably won't be there, and something to keep in mind, in case he is:

I don't get the whole matching of smaller, faster guys with bigger WRs. I mean, I get that a diversified WR corps may be better suited to take advantage of different defenses, but Marino's best years were with a couple midget receivers.I would like to see a bigger target paired with Waddle
This should be a BPA Offense heavy Draft.
I would have no problem with a Defensive pick or two depending on the board but they need to add talent to every position group on Offense.
Obviously we will know a lot more after they throw all that Cap Cash around.

Unless, of course, you need the possible WR mismatches because the QB isn't good enough
My main reason for wanting a bigger WR is to replace the unreliable Parker.I don't get the whole matching of smaller, faster guys with bigger WRs.

And while I would be happy with 2 smaller WR's if they were Duper and Clayton in general I think having a WR corps of guys with varying skill sets is a good thing.

Dan and Jerry together in their primes probably would've tore the NFL up more than what they did with their respective teams...if I had to guess.And neither are HOF‘ers. Just fairly good players.
I’ve always wondered how even more unbelievable Marino could have been with a Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, or Julio Jones type.
I can’t even imagine what would have happened if Marino had Jerry Rice during both their primes.
David Bell looks like a good fit to me.Want guys who are tough making catches and with the ball in their hands. Assuming this offense shares similarities to Atlanta and SF, it will scheme open receivers, but it involves a lot of stuff over the middle of the field (good for Tua), and they won't always be open, so there's a premium on guys who will make tough, contested catches when you need them.
I'd imagine there's more of a vertical element than there was with Jimmy G in SF - probably between ATL and SF - but McDaniel has already mentioned that YAC is also premium in this offense. Finding guys who will maximize their targets and maximize the yardage available to them as runners carries greater weight in this system than it does for most offenses imo.
All the top WR's except for Olave fit that criteria. Not saying Olave would be useless, but he's probably worth more to someone else.
