I have been looking at video on each rostered player and Cam Lewis has some good tape on him. He is a sure tackler and plays well close to the line of scrimmage. He will backup both Dillion and Kyle Gordon at NB. https://youtu.be/ll7lL_uqLD8?si=0f2NpuVIDnAS2yPH

I've looked at a lot of GB content on grading the draft. They have Bears Derangement Syndrome. The idiot had the Logan Jones pick as a D, saying that they had many other Cs rated higher. The Jager Burton pick (153) the Packers had was rated higher. He said he will eventual be a low end starter in the NFL. Also gave a F to the Zavion Thomas that he had rated as an UDFA. He liked the Dillion, Muhammad, and Elliott picks. Loved the Lions draft, rated GB as just average and poh pohed the Vikings draft.

I watched that last night. I can only say he runs the ball with better vision and more toughness than I expected. Ben Johnson has his RB for 3rd and long situations.

I see him getting more reps than expected as a 4.28 running the ball.

LSU motioned him a lot, I see Ben moving him as much or more. I'm excited to see year 2 of the BJ era.

I couldn't load it, but if you have Instagram, look up the Bears tax. It's a crazy stat...

Seeing the potential with this class. Hope they all turn out to be great. When a team has grown as much as the Bears, they can narrow their search for the types of players the need/want. Next draft they will need to repeat nailing 5 positions and then the rest getting next man up at OL, TE/WR.

I have 2 DT, 1 DE, 1 RB, 1 S

Watching the video, I was surprised by the highlights for TE Roush. All the hype was that he was the best blocking TE in this year's draft class. What I saw was a big target with good hands. Great pickup for 3 TE Sets, valuable backup for Kmet & Loveland, and a (reported) strong blocker for pass pro and run plays. I feel a lot better about this pick by RP/BJ after watching the video.

yeah and he has the 8th highest RAS score for any TE drafted since the 1990s or something like that. Pretty good for an inline guy.

I do think the writing is on the wall for Kmet, maybe not this year, but when we identified Kmet, DJ Moore and Swift as trade or cut bait at this time last year, it i slowly coming true.

The bar has been lifted. ALl of those players are GOOD players, but not as good as they need to be, and over the years Johnson is going to build a hell of a roster - that much is clear now.

We still need a LT and a DE tho LOL

no doubt the roster they are building is full of actual football players. its kind of incredible how bad weve been at this for so long, now that we see what doing it right looks like.
