I'm lacking a 3 tech in this mock and I'm still believing they are looking to add some one. This would be an all time great draft. Would love it. Report
April 25, 20223 yr comment_190100 As long as they address OL and WR early and often I'll be happy. If Ogunjobi is sitting on the fence waiting to rehab his foot with a good chance of coming here, 3T will not need to be an early pick. I think Poles will fill in the defense with free agents if the draft doesn't give us any starters. Report

We're not in a position to draft someone who needs a year, or more, to develop. We need a starter at RG. As badly as we need a 3-tech to help the D, Fields can be the future of this team. By the way I'm very thankful we're not looking for a QB this year. If Fields were in this draft he'd be gone top 5, if not #2 to Detroit. Report

We are in a place to give a guy a year to develop. We are playing this year to build the base and develop Fields. We can sign serviceable players, post draft, to fill the gap until next year. My personal mindset is to draft BPA for where we are headed as a team. There are scenarios where stashing a guy is best. Report

If we take a OT that will need time to develop, he needs to play RG for a year while developing. I think early you take a Strange , Salyer, or Parham that couuld start right away at RG and then take a OT developmental prospect in the late rounds. Report

I don't like the concept of drafting an LT prospect late in the draft to develop. If you like an LT prospect early, get him. At a minimum, he should be able to be a key back up, starting OG or late season starter. Report

Take a player who can give Jenkins/Borum a run for their money at LT and worse case that player moves inside to G. Maybe 2023 is our year to draft a stud LT and we should be in decent position.

I have heard several so called experts have mentioned the top 5 are the only ones capable of day one starting (OT). Of course every year someone surprises them. Report
April 27, 20223 yr comment_190134 IISpoke about NPF in the other thread, but there's another name that no one on this board is talking about that is gaining some steam with the bears and thats Abraham Lucus. I really wish I knew why he was playing on right tackle instead of left tackle. I haven't heard anyone at all talk about if they think he can play on the Left side either which kinda scares me. That said he's got all the traits Poles has talked about in an offensive lineman. He's got the nasty mean streak and he's lean and athletic. I read an article that said a lot of experts are predicted him to the Bears and I'm just not sure on the fit. Jenkins has played some guard in college and he wasn't a Poles pick, so maybe they can try him inside with Lucas at tackle. Then you bring in a vet for LT. Report
April 27, 20223 yr comment_190135 I'm not sure they would target a RT only prospect. Most projected OTs played LT . if they have short arms they become OGs. So a Tyler Smith or Brandon Rainman are valued between 30 and 40.Smith could be moved inside. Report
April 28, 20223 yr comment_190145 George Pickens is apparently a real piece of trash. Was listening to someone on the radio yesterday and they said they talked to numerous front office guys who said his character has taken him off their board completely. Guy obviously has 1st round talent. It'll be interesting to see if the Bears grab him if he's there at 39. Report
April 28, 20223 yr comment_190146 For some reason, WR group always gets the worst character types. I think he will gone before our pick. Also don't think Watson makes it to 39. But I think Dotson drops, maybe Burks. Report
