In a Flus interview, his defense is fly to the ball mentality. He said the starters will get 60% of the snaps but normally rotates players to keep them fresh. So won't be much different between starter and backup. So look for competition with backup types. They will all play. Another thing I noticed was there are a lot of older draftees this year. Rainman and Cole Strange are 24. T. Smith and D Green are 21. I would say that might come in to play with some of these picks. If its a pro bowl type talent, it won't matter but if its someone that take a year or two, to develop, who would you rather have?

Logan Hall is listed as a DE, but his profile says he played inside a lot. With 10 lbs added he may succeed as a 3T which is normally ranked in the 70s.

How many true #1s are out there? 15. I don't count players like Julio Jones or A J Green because they are past there prime. Ridley is not playing, OBJ hurt, Michael Thomas?, ARob, has to show it again. Mooney don't compare the top 15 but if he gets 90-1200-7( close last year) every year that's a good WR. 81-1055-4.

The draft should play out where he doesn't have to reach any of those positions in the first 3 picks. It all depends on whether there is a run on WRs. If 8 go before 39, A Rainman or Winfrey may drop. If Rainman is still there at 39 you may be able to get Tyler Smith at 48. Winfrey- Smith-Pierce. That would work for me.

Cole would be a good get. I also like Jameree Salyer from Georgia. Poles will come up with a player not well known and having him. starting day 1. I would also like a rookie OT that would become our swing tackle and potential starter down the road.

Smith and Watson, in alot of player rankings, Logan Hall is close to our pick 71. That would be my triad.

I think Mooney can be a #1, I doubt anyone thought Cooper Kupp was a number 1 when they drafted him in the 3rd round.

I think offers are on the table and the closer it gets to the draft, some players will sign to make sure they don't get left out. I like Beasley better, wise vet that has produced everywhere he's been. Would help the WR room.I tink try only sign one more WR and draft 2.

Looking that way. Still depth in WRs to get a good one at 71.

I think with paying Rodgers they realize paying Adams that money would doom the roster. KC, trade Hill same thing.

In one day this negative vibe that clouds the Bears could change with a Duane Brown signing, Xaiver Rhodes, Tajae Sharpe.

Brown Cole Rhodes Edmunds Ogunjobi Hitchens

That's a very good comparison with Lockett. Tyler is a bit faster. When they do the advance metrics, Pringle actually was second in the league last year in route separation which means he gets open. As much as Mooney has worked hard to be good, I can see Pringle the leader in receptions this year.

That all sounds reasonable but instead of writing here you need to send a letter to Flus and tell him to change his defense. Jaylon Johnson can be a press corner and he's pretty good.

I expect 10 to 12 out of Quinn this year. Gipson 8 to 10. Q- Mo have 6-8. This defense will be better this year than last years. With the speed he's adding and the 7 to he ball concept, A much different look with more TOs.

Well Watson, and Pierce are big and faster, so why not have both. I think Pringle is going to be very good. You add a big X WR and our passing game will look totally different. If we just had a average OC last year , everything would have been better. Mooney- Pringle-St Brown, Kmet and Montgomery out of the backfield plus a couple rookies, this will be some good Sun afternoon fun.

I seen Thorn on a CHGO podcast with Olin. He name has been mentioned many times over the last two years and most draft sites refer to him as an expert at OLine. Besides Buford, he mentioned Care Mays, Cam Jurgins , and Luke Fortner as players better than there rated, not necessarily sleepers. At 39 those two OTs could be there. There will be some OL rated as better prospects around in the 70 to 90 range. Luke Goedeke, Cole Strange, Jameree Salyer, Sean Rhyan, Killen Diesch, and Luke Fortner. I think if a Linderbaum, Johnson, or Green drip that will be our pick at 39. If Tyler Smith is there, they may like him at 39 or 48. Otherwise I would grab WRs and a Cole Strange at 71,

Moore and Pringle can also play outside. Its never going to be a certain set, all of them will see a lot of playing time. Almost everywhere, Moore is higher rated than Pierce, but Pierce is the big speed guy this team needs. If Seattle trades DJ, it won't accept our #2, even other don't get it done.

I wonder if he ended up getting Brian Allen if Patrick was inline for RG or Bates was it all the time. Maybe all three and Whitehair would have been cut or traded? Listening to a podcast with Dane Bugler on it and he said , if Trevan Jenkins was in the draft this year he would be the 6th best OL in the draft. Late first or early 2 nd. So I think he's a for sure and Borom is the question to answer. He had the Bears taken Darius Kinnard in the third. Could start at RT or RG in the first year in his mock draft.

Someone always drops in the draft , 39 is a perfect spot to find a possible trade back. The fact many teams (13) having multi picks in middle rounds enhances that . The trick is to move back and still get the guy you wanted. I think a couple years ago Ourlads had 26 out of the top 32 picks. Not to correct team but were in the first round. We need out of this draft a starting OG, A future OT prospect than can be our swing T. A rotational DT, CB and SS that contribute. A starting WR and another WR to add depth. The first 5 picks need to be starters or potential starters in year 2. Core players. Last year KC got 3 starters out of 6 picks with no first rounder. Creed Humphrey, Nick Bolton and Trey Smith.

He definitely will trade back , it depends on how his board falls. If he only drops back a fee spots , he could still end up with who he wanted. I think Watson never makes it to 39, one of the top 6_ could fall or Pickers and Pierce should be there. They have taken visits or met with , WRs that would be later picks. Thornton, Grey, Shakir, , Dixon, Nailor. .So one of the second round picks will be a WR , the other a OL. Last year KC got starting OL in the 2 nd and 6 th rounds.I suspect something similar this year. As he aquires other picks , he will address CB, SS, and DL. Maybe another LB or TE. He's not done in FAgency. He has to get a #1 WR and another starter on the OL , odds are good that's early.

Ebus defense doesn't use press one on one CBs. They play zone most of the time . You need a CB that can quickly diagnose plays and speed to run to contact. They will add a Vet CB like Rhodes before the season starts. With limited picks you can't prioritize defensive players in the early picks. We have blue chip players at each level of the defense and most of the better players he brought in are on defense. They have to fix the oline and add playmakers. This is an opportunity to get a #1 WR and hard to find in 5th round. I think Mooney and Pringle are both good players but a big speed WR, Watson or Pierce will do wonders to upgrade our offense. If any defensive position gets drafted early it has to be a 3T.

Most mock draft simulators aren't realistic. Rainman probably wouldn't be there at39 let alone 55. Pierce is about right but Moore will be picked before Pierce.. Slayer has been drafted in the 3rd many times never drip that much.

Something like this

I would love if everyone they picked up played well. Most are one or two yr deals so adding 2 potential starters that may only play 40 or 50% of the time now could be starters in 2 yrs. Injuries happen so we are looking at this like everyone stays healthy, we know it won't work out that way. So as you improve the roster it improves the depth which will come into play. Poles will draft 1 or 2 OLs this year. Right now we have a RG spot open but that may change. I think they still bring in a few more FAs in so they don't have to have to count on the rookies. If those players are better that just improves the depth. Best 5 play. I think Jenkins becomes a stud where ever he plays , im not sure what Borom is. We seem to be in the same thought process.
