ASHKUM BEAR Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago 30 minutes ago, jason said: I’d rather have continued OL dominance and Swift, versus a porous OL and Gibbs. I can see the Bears drafting C/G. They can use another quality backup if they dont resign McFadden. Theres a couple 2nd-3rd rd C prospects id be good with in the 3rd. Id like to let a Center learn at least a year while being able to step in if needed. As for drafting a RB, it'll most likely be a 2027 target, but I predict BJ will want one he can cook with. We now see why he was rocking crazy after drafting Loveland. I think he has the same desire to find that in a RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loveland is purely different. He may be the biggest difference maker on the team. Cole is steady and reliable, but I don't see him consistently winning routes like Colston does. I really like having them both going forward... Problem: Kmet was on trajectory to be given bell for targets and stats. He likely won’t want to stay as option 5-6 on the Bears.

Stinger226 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago 1 hour ago, jason said: I don’t think that’s fair to Kmet. He absolutely got screwed in terms of advancement and improved stats when the Bears drafted Loveland, and then made Loveland a primary target. If they hadn’t drafted Loveland, there is no doubt that Kmet would have received a bunch of Loveland’s 80+ targets. I think if the Bears hadn’t drafted Loveland, we would all be talking about Kmet having a huge breakout year, at or near 1000yds. We judge players by there stats to much. Kmet doesn't get the targets because of many weapons now but consistently has been a league leader in catch rate % . Also a team leader. Clearly we are a better team with both players. They will ask him to restructure his contract and he knows he is no longer a primary target. We get cap space and get to keep him. Problem solved.

He was a 2nd option, then they drafted Odunze and signed Keenan the following year and Loveland and Burden the next. He would have to find a team with lesser talent and in this new era NFL, he would be a 3 or 4 at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Loveland not been drafted, there is a great chance Kmet is that guy. But if the contract is deemed too rich for his production, then it comes down to his choice when asked to restructure. I think he’s likely to choose leaving Chicago hoping to prove he can be the number one, big target TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
