The bears dont ask the fans who they should take and when they should take them. We have to see how it plays out. After last years draft, I was very disappointed and ended up being our best draft in a very long time.

All of this will pass and this year we will go to the SB and look back and say how smart they were. (hopefully)

As fans we think they need DL, edge prospects , and a S. A LT and center. They know what they have and what they wanted. This drafting team killed the draft last year. Lets give them some Kudos on they know what they are doing.

Look at the picks from their point of view. They got a stud S that fits their scheme. They drafted a 8 yr starting center with pro bowl potential. They drafted a killer blocking TE that the Bears will fit in their scheme. They drafted a speed merchant WR that have return experience. BJ will scheme plays for him.

Having 4 picks in the top 89 and not getting Edge or DT should be a fireable offense for Poles and the scouting staff. Unacceptable.

When do the Bears lock Ben Johnson in the closet haha. We have maybe our next Hester who at least played WR. Ben will move him around to scheme plays to him. We have some blazing speed that should make it exciting.

The Bears are strategically building there team. They know what they are doing, Im just a a fan with limited knowledge that thinks I am smarter than I am.

He has 4.28 speed.

I just posted it, Adam just delete mine.

Gadget player at 89. What is going on?

I will add he has a lot of drops, but was never a focal point for Stanford. Put him on a team that values TE and designs or schemes to him, he should keep growing into a player.

I should be clear - I think they have drafted 3 good football players and I’m very pleased with first 2 picks…I just would have went another way here. Ben is former TE coach and he is an offensive guru - clearly this pick is him and he has a plan…again not what I’d do but I do think we have 3 guys who will be solid football players. I would have preferred Hill who would have been a starting linebacker for this team and not had done the trade for the 5th rounder.

Did you forget who is sitting next to Ryan? You know Ben is having his way. He will just out score the opponents in the 4th.

Take a risk on the Tennessee db.

His explosion numbers are off the charts for his size. This guy might be another gem and losing Moore, we get another big target for Caleb. Draftbuzz has a good write up Combine testing was a revelation for a 267-pound man. A 38.5-inch vertical (96th percentile) and 10-foot-6 broad jump (96th percentile) are freakish explosion numbers, the best vertical of any tight end above 265 pounds by four and a half inches. His 87 athleticism score ranked third among all tight ends at the Combine, and his 91.7 SPORQ percentile clears the critical 90th-percentile threshold that separates future contributors from roster fillers at the position. Ran a weight-adjusted 3-cone (7.08) that compares favorably to Sam LaPorta and was faster straight up than Darren Waller and Kyle Pitts. For a guy tipping 267, that kind of agility in tight spaces is genuinely unusual. Understands the full tight end job description and does not flinch at the dirty work. Lines up inline without complaint, gets to the second level on outside zone, and holds his ground in pass protection when edge rushers try to work inside. The intermediate game between the numbers from 12 to 18 yards is where he does his best work. He finds soft spots in zone with a feel that looks natural, gives the quarterback a massive target on third down, and has the awareness to sit or drift based on what the coverage shows. Production climbed every single year in a run-first Stanford offense that never featured him as a primary weapon. Going from 28 catches to 40 to 49 while adding a 69-yard score tells you there is more in the tank when the passing game actually asks for him. Carries himself with maximum effort whether the ball is coming his way or not. Runs off safeties to clear space, finishes blocks 20 yards downfield, competes on every snap without being told. Coaching staffs fall in love with that makeup. Better with the ball in his hands than his testing speed would suggest. Runs through arm tackles, keeps his legs churning, and showed real balance in traffic on that Boston College touchdown that covered 69 yards.

Here is The Beast profile on Jones. His comp with several pundits is Drew Dalman. If he's our upscale C for 8 yrs, Im all in. Jones is an undersized, sawed-off blocker with aggressive technique and athletic ability, although his sustain struggles might be tough to overcome. A center-only prospect, he is a mid-round version of Linderbaum.

Here is The Beast profile on Sam. Roush isn’t without his warts, but he offers a traditional Y tight end skill set — competitiveness to handle dirty work as a blocker and athleticism to be a functional underneath target. He has the makeup and toughness to quietly become an integral part of an NFL offense.

Heck yeah, this kid will become the heart and soul of the line. Rimington award for best C in college, just like fellow Iowa alumni Linderbaum

I agree, had Jones rd 3 and Roush rd 5, but I am only a couch GM and the guys i would have taken are still on the board.

I'm fine with the players but Jones and Roush for 57 and 69 are both huge reaches.

The problem with these picks is they are all a round too early. They could've traded 57 and drafted Jones with the later 2nd rounder and got more back. Roush wouldve been there at the Bears real 3rd rounder. Just overall bad draft value. Better players are joining opponents. A TE3 is a luxury pick. You can't use Pick 69 on a luxury pick.

Dayo was a terrible signing from the start. He will never be explosive and was never explosive before. Jarrett was a locker room signing and is over the hill. Both will be gone next year. They must really love Austin Booker for this year. Kayvon Thibideaux may be in play...

Im not complaining, actually wanted all 3 players. Maybe not the slot taken.
