It would be a surprise but he could be counting on Patrick to play OC next year. He liked him but injuries affected his year. I think he brings in a FA to stabilize the line. Patrick and Kramer give us good depth.

Right you are, every draft has a few high rated draft picks drop to the 4 th round.A good place to get some extra picks for teams focused on a certain player. Last year Dameon Pierce--Romeo Doubs-Zach Tom--Daniel Bellinger all were 4 th round.

If we can trade from 1 to 2, 2 to 4 then to 11. That would be unprecedented. To drop from 4 to 11 , that would be expensive. Make them throw in Harold Landry, injury last year but if medical is good, A top pass rusher in the league. 12_sacks in 2021.

Was looking at PFF contract projections. We could add McGary/13 mil a yr, Pocic/7 mil, and Ben Powers/9 mil and have a dominant OL for yrs to come. Figure Patrick, Borom, J Carter and a rookie as backups. Leatherwood will have spring training to prove himself. Still have money for a DL add.

Seen a story by Fishburn stating the Bears will attack the Oline in free agency. I have always believed that. They need the line to be good now, not let rookies develop. McGary and Pocic here we come.

Brad Briggs was talking to a couple of bears scouts at the senior Bowl and they stated they had a couple of other OCs rated higher than J M Schmitz. If true, who? I think maybe Steve Avila may be one. Played OC before moving to OG this year. Versatile and big man. Olu Oluwatimi seems to be very smart and their team leader at Michigan last year.

I just seen a stat posted where Will Anderson had 207. pressures in 3 years at Alabama. Amazing stat.

I like Swiftys take on players. I'll take Amy of the first 10 in the draft. https://youtu.be/WSNQAr58ezI

I'm not sure how realistic OTC website is but I use them on players values.

As much as mock drafts are interesting, the draft will be defined by who we get in free agency. Sure we can acquire a (DT) (edge), (OL) in free agency and still draft the same but I think Poles is selective with his additions. Our biggest (needs) are DL, OL and then add playmakers. He's going to play chess on how he assembles the roster. Sure every position can be addressed but he started last year with the rebuild. Playmakers could be Luke Musgrave instead of a WR . A Tank Dell instead of a top rated WR. A Devon Achane/ speed RB. Don't underestimate the fact he liked Patrick as a OC last year and could figure him there again plus a drafted player to compete with. Keep Whitehair until J Carter develops. I think he will get a RT either with a FA or high draft pick. I expect Velus Jones to have more of an impact next year. He showed some wow plays the last few games. Has big plans for Chase Claypool, and we don't add a high drafted WR. Don't think he has given up on Ebner yet either. We just don't know how Poles will play this.

I've been to 27 countries but never been to Chile. Peru, Venuzalua, Colombia are the only South American countries I've been to. I would like to hit 50 before I die but every year gets more expensive to travel, probably won't make that. Chile always intrigued me.

Heard Greg Gabriel talk about the draft process. All of these all star games are basically 10% of the evaluation of prospects. It helps small school players get noticed. They get to see their work ethic, competitive nature, and compatibility. All things to look at. Most of grade is season long tape. We look at many sports journalists views when a lot of it is distracting at times. Retired scouts and former players seem to be better at valuing prospects. I also like listening to Matt Bowen, smart guy. He was talking about Sydney Brown/S from Illinois. Not rated high but has everything you want at FS. He compared him to Mike Brown. I'm all in on him becoming a Bear. I don't think we're taking a WR with a high pick, so interested in Poles finding a stud with the second tier of wide outs.

A couple I liked was Darnell Wright, RT from Tennessee and Tank Dell WR from Houston. Wright last year in 12 games, 5 QB hurries, 2 QB hits , no sacks. I think in practice, the only player to get past him was Will McDonald once. Not as big as Jones but a huge man. Watching tape on Tank Dell and he is almost impossible to stop and no one can block him. Perfect slot WR, because of his size may be around in the 4th.probably goes in the third round.

On PFN draft simulator, I did 3 trade backs, and had 4 first rounds picks in 2024 plus 11 picks in the top 100 . first pick was 14. I think it was Bresee. That's very unrealistic but fun to pretend.

Seen this sign in Phuket Thailand. Can't get away from the rivalry.

Musgrave would be great, I like Kincaid better but he will go in the second round. Maybe if Musgrave makes it to 3 rd or 4 th round. It would be great to have a bunch of picks from 50 to 100. Maybe with trade backs.

He's been playing LG at senior bowl. Unfortunately he probably moved from the 4th round up to the second. Would be a nice pick for 65.

Agree with both statements. I think he grabs a Free agent at DE by thinks Davenport gets a big contract without a lot of production last year. I tink he grabs someone like Ngakoue that won't cost at much.

Forgot to mention Tank Dell/WR from Houston. Awesome small player .

Brady was a unique situation, A player like that will never last that long again, to much coverage on players these days. I like some unknown players moving up boards, which means there is more talent out there that originally thought. Been watching lots of Senior Bowl coverage, some players would look good as Bears. Derrick Hall/Edge Marte Mapu/LB Will McDonald/Edge Cody Mauch/OL Rashee Rice/WR Luke Musgrave/TE Tyjae Spears/RB Darnell Wright/OT

Maybe he knows the owners wasted draft capital and wreaked the immediate future.

That's exactly what i think will happen. As I watched big boards, A lot of different opinions on players. I think the process will change the value a lot. Some are better at predicting value than others.

Watched tape and he has a lousy first step but moves well after that. I just think it's a fixable problem, bad anticipation. .

I'll have to watch tape, not sure I have seen him play before.

Not sure Payton can fix Wilson but they get an A for effort.
