You seem to focus in on a specific player and if we don't get that player it's a bad draft. Clearly if we don't take Banks, you will have comments to make. Now if we don't get CJ, I expect the same. I have wants to but I have many scenarios I would be happy with. Jeanty+ Judkins+ kJ+ Cam Skattebo+ Brashard Smith+ I also could see Jayden Blue as a late round take even with another RB, to use his speed in packages as a weapon I'm just not struck on one.

DA talked yesterday about he liked Spider-Man playing some saftey. Tyranny Mathieu played that role for DA in NO and he was pretty good.

I think KJ will be gone but we pick early in round 3, very possible Cam Skattebo could be there. Draft Buzz lists him as a 4th round pick. Several have him 3rd and lower.

I think the argument could be made for anyone projected to be a first round pick could be our #10 pick. My first choice is to trade back.

Jeanty is a given but the rest of the RB room is a debate. Hell RJ Harvey or Dylan Sampson could end up being real good. It's not always the obvious choice. I'll hang my hat on Cam Skattebo.

We all have our opinion and people we think would be best for the team. I think whoever they take at 10 needs to be special, not just a player that becomes a NFL starter. Braxton was an NFL starter day one and was a fifth round pick. Pundits are pretty consistent with 6 all pro player types available in the draft. A few say 8 and of course a few could surprise but I think if we get the chance, we will draft one of these. If not one falls then it could be 10 different players. In one week the conversation starts with the mistake they made by taking so and so at 10. I trust them to get it right.

If one of the main criterias of a RB is pass blocking, then LeQuint Allen is your guy . Draft Buzz has him rated by far the best pass blocker.

I don't have a problem if we get Banks, I just don't think they are going to draft a OT in the first round. Now if they trade down, I think the attention they have given to Conerly makes him more likely to be a Bear. Everything is projection, with only 6 blue players in the draft 10-50 could be drastically different than people are predicting. The teams don't have a single big board exactly the same.

I agree with that. Players like Judkins, KJ, can compliment him and get a larger role in the future. There are 30 draftable RBs and probably 4 go in first 2 rounds, we will get a good one.

Last year was a shit show, everyone gets a fresh start with new coaches. Lots of people quit last year.

Any player addition now on defense is with DAs blessing.i don't know that much about DAs to say who is and isn't going to be effective. If we go by value, he was the best signing Poles has made since he's been here.

Swift will succeed in a Johnson offense, he's not a star but because of his contract, he's not going to be discarded. Someone like Judkins could be effective and a load back if they wanted to do that with 4.48 speed. When his contract is over he will be gone but the star of this offense has to be Caleb. I think if any of the blue players drop, we will take one and that could be Jeanty. I won't complain but don't think he makes it to 10. The AZ members should have a better read than me but I like Skattebo. Not a speedy guy but a punishing slippy runner.

Poles has identified the core players and sign them. Brisker's health is the key to need at S , if healthy, he will be here next year also. If Byard plays well, he did last year, they could bring him back. Backups are solid NFL players.

I expect us to take anyone of the blue chip players if there, otherwise Mykel Williams is my focus right now. I heard a podcast and can't remember the football guy but he mentioned we were 6 deep at DT. Dexter, Billings, Jarrett, Cris Williams, Zach Pickens and Johnathan Ford. Lots of questions past the first 3 but we do have those bodies on the roster. DE is much thinner.

I'm not complaining about KJ, I'd love to have him, it's just Junkins will be a very good player, better than Henderson. Henderson is a Swift type in an offense, we need a compliment back with power.

The main reason for the combine is medicals and they get to interview players. The measuables are secondary.

Highly likely one of those 2 are our pick at 10.

If Warren is there, I think we take him , and 72 is the sweet spot for RBs, probably there.

Edmonds hasn't played up to the contract but he hasn't been playing bad. Allen may be the answer to getting our monies worth. The only left is to resign Thuney.

Need to Judkins to that list. He's got a lot of power.

I agree with everything you say. Banks will become a starter but I have heard no one say he is all pro potential. How much better is he than what we have? Better but by how much? Jones was ranked 21th out of all OTs that played last year. So if Banks is 15? Is that worth pick 10?

The magic question is what the coaches think of Braxton/Kiran. If they deem that a weak spot they may take a OT at 10.

I will add, Jeanty is a special back that I don't think will be there at 10. So is Hampton worth 10, I don't think so. As you they are going to add a OL, DL (S,TE, WR) with first 3 picks. I think that's the plan ( group of players) that Johnson was talking about.

I am speaking from the point of view that the bears think Swift is a good RB and are just seeking a complement choice. Most people think we need a Jeanty or Hampton, I think the bears don't think that.

I listen to Dane Brugler on a podcast and he was talking about RBs. He thinks 2 will go in the first round and maybe 2 in the second. That most teams will wait until the 3rd and 4th round to get RBs. That could leave lots of good choices at 72. Jeanty - Hampton then Johnson and Henderson in the second. 72- Judkins -Skattebo- Brashard Smith - Tuten I would say we wait until the third round to get a RB.
