Bell absolutely has Faulk level talent.
IMO, for the Colts, it just comes down to: what's the 2018 free agency plan? If they think the class is weak and they don't want to run into a bunch of Gosder Cherilus situations, maybe it's worth front-loading a Bell contract with a significant signing bonus on money that otherwise would just be sitting there. If they think the class has some answers (particularly at OT, WR, and long term plans for TE/RB/CB/LB/etc.), then no way in hell they should pull the trigger.
