I think he drafts a starting type OG at 39 and a 5 th round development player at OT. Example- Zachary Thomas/SDS, long arms, big hands, 4.93 40 time. Odds are slim that Johnson, linderbaum or Green drops , but Tyler Smith, Darian Kinnard or Nicolas Petit- Frere should be there. I think the possibility exists he takes a WR at 39 and gets a OG at 48 or 71. Jameree Salyer or Cole Strange are a few examples. Another thought is they draft a OT /B Raimann and play him OG for a year before moving him.Bring in Duane Brown for a year and Borom is our swing tackle. I'm very interested to see what option Poles takes. I take him to be a smart man especially when talking OL.

Good post, I wasn't paying attention.

I seen an interview with Brandon Thorn and he said other than the first round OTs drafted that it will be hard to find a player that will start day one. Now there will be a surprise starter somewhere but overall most will need some development before they start. That's more of what normally happens. Maybe we get lucky and find that gem. Hopefully Borom shows growth or Fisher and Brown are still available later after the draft assessment.

The problem is Deebo wants the 25 mil a year contract. We could have had AROB for 15.5. I suggest we draft our#1 and get 4 yrs of use before they ask for 20+, by the way, he's a stud.

Dane Buglers ranking has Alec Pierce ranked at 89 on his big board, Skyy Moore is ranked 39. Thornton is projected to late 4 or early 5. Pierce may be there at 71.

Foe sure I don't those two would start first year at OT, but possible if they slide Smith to RG, A chance to play earlier in his career.

I didn't see that but probably smart for them to evaluate where they think they will end up. If Boron can play both sides, would be a perfect swing tackle. Or a starter depending where they end up. Heard Mustipher was at RG. Probably easier to find a plug and play at RG than at LT.

Couldn't figure out where to stick this but the Bears have camp starting today and Borom is at LT and Jenkins is at RT.

Watson-Pickens for 39 but Pierce should be there at 48 and maybe 71. Sky Moore is my 3rd at 39.

So if Linderbaum drops do we take him? Last year Matt Slater was drafted by Chargers and he has short arms, played great (LT)

UDFAs might bring some, but not drafting.

I always use PFN mock draft simulator. I am easily getting Linderbaum at 39. There are constantly updating there big board, I wonder if there is actual merit for him dropping?

Mack is trying out for SAM spot, he's still on the roster.

The bears just signed James O'Shaughnessy, TE

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.
