Pixote Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 I was surprised when TheAthletic.com website came out with their new top 50 Draft Board. Here are the top 10 slots listed by Dane Brugler: (the top 3 surprised me in the order they were listed, #4 a TE? Really? Is he that good?) 1 - Drake Maye QB North Carolina 2 - Marvin Harrison Jr. WR Ohio State 3- Caleb Williams QB USC 4- Brock Bowers TE Georgia 5- Olu Fashanu OT Penn State 6- Joe Alt OT Notre Dame 7- Dallas Turner Edge Alabama 8- Keon Coleman WR Florida State 9- Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA 10- JC Latham OT Alabama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Don’t overlook Keon Coleman. MHJr gets all the press but Coleman looked really good in a recent game I watched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting him will be like drafting a number one receiver. Edited November 2, 2023 by Mongo3451 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 If we ended up with Harrison and Boyers, i would be elated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even seen him play this year and I know Bowers is a more complete TE than Pitts just based off last year's games. He's also a freak of nature with his contact balance, strength, and speed not to mention his great hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Kyle Pitts went for 1000+ yards his rookie year. One of the most dominant seasons a rookie TE has ever had. With that said - last year he had a down year, but he also hasn't had anyone to throw him the ball the past couple of years. Pitts is really good.

As a receiver yes but if that’s all you want in a player you can just go draft a receiver. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2023/10/kyle-pitts-not-100-after-knee-surgery-blocking-ability-affecting-playing-time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 I never understood why they didn't just make him a WR. He's literally a bigger and faster Megatron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming 2 QBs go 1-2, it has to be MHJ at 3. At 10, I would probably look to trade back. It gets tricky after that. If you can't, I would lean Edge or CB (if Johnson is not extended).

I also want a QB that can produce but I am not sure if any QB can with the coaching. Is there a such thing as a pocket passer anymore that will fit what Flus and Getsy want.

I'm not as convinced as I once was that you can find your franchise QB in the first round...but could find one in any of the top three rounds...probably. That's not to say I don't think Justin can't be the guy. I think there's still a chance. Especially if he has some competition and gets a better team and coaching staff around him. Once this season plays out and I see more of JJ McCarthy (assuming he forgoes his senior year) I'd be interested in seeing him join the Bears. And I would presume he might even go 2nd or 3rd round (???) In the meantime, the first two picks (IMHO) should go for MHJ first and then some form of oline (yes Jason would be so happy to see this change in me). Either Fashanu, Latham (Alabama) or OC Van Pran from Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Fashanu, Latham (Alabama) or OC Van Pran from Georgia. If Braxton comes back and plays well, I doubt they take a OT in the first round. I would like to draft a OT to be a swing OT in a mid round. The centers arent ranked real high but still grab one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killakrzydav Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 The latest I ever get JJ to fall on pfn is 32 or 33. Ive seen him off the board as high as 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 The trenches are so important. They need a new Center, and I am not sold on Dexter or Pickens yet. They won't go Center that early, but maybe with their 3rd rounder, but 3T still seems like an option in the top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted November 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Not one to follow FSB closely (usually just ND games or a top 10 on occasion) does anyone know of a blue chip 3T that the Bears should target in the 2024 draft??

killakrzydav Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 There's only one top ten 3T. That's homie from Illinois, Newton. Homie from Miami, Leonard, Is good too. Those are likely the only first round 3Ts. Hall from OSU had a top ten grade earlier but his production is trash. Same with Ruke from Clemson....no production.

killakrzydav Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Masson Smith has like no stats and injury flags. He is prototypical though. Im not sure if he's not a NT though. I'll key in on him tomorrow and during the UF game. Jenkins is also unproductive but a 3T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see them keep consistency and stick with Flus, but he needs a great DC to get them elevated. Maybe bring back Ron Riveria if he is let go.
