Mack has done a very good job for the Colts. They have 3 guys who can play, finding another back like Mack who can also catch the ball, you have options, all of which will cost less than one Bell.

Phillips is an outlier though. He is the first to ever do it. We could spend a top 60 pick on a RB. Another guy I kind of like is Josh Jacobs of Alabama, he has been buried under the depth chart some and splits carries but he gets rave reviews by scouts who attend bama practices. He might be around that range and he would have very low mileage coming out of college.
If they signed Bell they could then use all their picks on making the defense better. I don't think there is a right way or wrong way. I do think they need another weapon on offense and some more talent in the defensive line and secondary. Just multiple ways to go about it.
I bet Tevon Coleman is released this year also, might be an option.
